Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
Some random tourist just murdered someone for being pushy and rude. The happenstance of "pretty lights" and "actualy survived" are a lot less important than "get that thing in alien jail NOW".
Yes, I am slightly egomaniac. Why didn't you ask?

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
Well, that assumes the body was actually destroyed. No reason (at the moment) to think it wasn't going for the capture.
In fact, looking at the picture again, it looks more like the tentacly alien's fake body is a lot bigger on the inside than the outside; the fire alien's fake body seems to be fitting inside it easily without any compression at all.Originally Posted by Darths & DroidsOptimization Trophies

The author commentary also makes it plain that it is widely known that the flame-head alien's species just uses bodies as chassis, and that eating the body is non-fatal to them.

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
Only if they can transfer the flame before the flame transport device is destroyed.
And the flame seems to think it's rather urgent that the new transport device (the lizard) start running.

Oh, I don't really think that he's benign, just that he's not necessarily monstrous in his actions thus far.
He could become considerably more horrible in the next strip or two, who knows?

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
Okay, I do love me some xenology worldbuilding. Now I'm deeply interested in this flame symbiont species. I wonder if they evolved alongside a host species, itself adapted to take advantage of the superior intelligence of its symbiont, or if they just possessed any old species on their homeworld?

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
Depends on which reference he wants to make.
Take over the body entirely, only to finally settle on softer humanoids because they're easier to assimilate to...
Or they joined in symbiosis with another species that eventually came to believe they were being used, so killed themselves all off rather than be 'bound' by the symbiont.May you get EXACTLY what you wish for.

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
Don't forget that this is a universe where both magic and higher powers unequivocally exist; it's entirely possible that being little flame-thingies was a magical 'oops' on the part of the species, or that they were created wholesale by some high-level wizard, archdevil, or whatever.

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
Or being magic using beings, they evolved over eons to not need bodies since their world provided many suitable hosts - but they found golems to be longer lasting and more customizable.
EDIT:
Meatblanks? That's what they call their rides? OK then. Fully customizable!Last edited by Shining Wrath; 2021-04-01 at 07:17 AM.

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
Sounds like we're FINALLY done with this nonsense.
Next up, more characters we've never seen before?It is one thing to suspend your disbelief. It is another thing entirely to hang it by the neck until dead.
Verisimilitude -- n, the appearance or semblance of truth, likelihood, or probability.
The concern is not realism in speculative fiction, but rather the sense that a setting or story could be real, fostered by internal consistency and coherence.

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
Oh, Sydney. It's cool that you've got a level-up on your orbs - and with time to think about what you really want. But yes, "infinifear" is something you're going to have to deal with. In fact, as you level up, the level of challenges Archon will expect you to handle will also rise, and that means scarier and scarier moments. I'm not sure there's enough training in the world; that's why PTSD is a thing.

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
I wonder if emotional/mental growth is the method to level up rather than getting "xp".

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
Huh. Looks like Achilles may be next in line for some development.
Honestly, I'm a bit curious, this should be interesting. He's already shown more self-awareness than I'd necessarily have given him credit for in this strip alone.

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
Curiously, ive always heard Gina Torres' voice as Anvil's in my mental narration for the comic. Nice to know im apparently not the only one who associates the two.

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
We learned that during the sciona arc when she got shanked and rebooted then the giant robot attacked (what ever happened with that hanging thread anyways? Oh, nothing? /sigh) She had to select an update blind because she couldnt get her shield up and was about to die. Honestly, I wouldnt have been surprised if we saw sydney getting progressively more and more anxiety riddled as she tries to find max for instructions on what to pick next because she feels vulnerable without her orbs after everything that has gone on recently.

Re: Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work
What? You never used to just jump the last couple steps instead of walking down like normal? A nice open area, might as well hop down when it literally cant hurt you because your power is absorbing kinetic energy. Its faster, easier, and more fun than taking the stairs, or an elevator.

Thankfully it was mostly skipped.
Now instead we get the slightly more relevant side quest of getting Max a disguise.
