569: Until We Meet Again…
Ok, don’t freak guys. This is the end of following events directly but I’ve got an epilogue in mind to wrap things up.
EDIT:
I’m going to take a very brief single week hiatus to get everything sorted out for the epilogue.
Over the weekend my Father was inducted into the Hall of Valor at Soldiers and Sailors(link provided if you’re curious what that’s all about). He was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam (if you’re curious he’s the second person in this article)… there were fifteen guys getting inducted in the ceremony and they each had their own incredibly fascinating story.
This comes back to effect Suppression purely because the event ate up my entire weekend with family coming into town to watch the ceremony. I’d be fine to make some random page with such little time, but the epilogue is going to take more dedication than that. I know what information I wanna present but I’m not sure entirely how I’d like to present it yet. So I’ll be back next week.
I’m still reading. That said, I am so f***ing confused.
..if that is really how it ends before the reboot then franky I don’t understand why you even bothered. I do love this webcomic, and I do hope we get a satisfying ending to the webcomic people have followed since the start. And if next Tuesday it turns out that this wasn’t meant to be an end to this offshoot I will happily delete this comment. If not then this is really unsatisfying and feels vaguely insulting to the people who wanted to have an actual end to the story they had followed.
There’s no need to delete your comment… You are right. This ending is unsatisfying. I’ve been calling it “my unsatisfying ending” all week. And I’d be lying if I said I was never intending to leave things here.
But I’m not happy with it.
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do about that fact… and I was nearly resigned to accept this as all I could do… but 50 pages of all the heroes fighting all the villains isn’t the ending this story needs anyway. Running from that scenario isn’t a reason to give no closure at all to this world beyond metafictional nonsense that makes the reboot a part of the setting.
Just because the Players can’t know if the world continues after they leave, doesn’t mean the audience can’t know.
Thank you. I now know what I wanna do as an epilogue.
It’s…dissapointing?
But then again…There’s gotta be a reason to return, so I can see why cut it off and not show the actual fight.
At this point…
Seems like we can extrapolate what happens next-Law goes down after a long raid fight, Bart’s un-masked, perhaps? Thalnasia recovers and does NOT actually reveal itself to the world, and life just goes on unaffected by the majority of people in the world…
But next time the frog won’t be where he needs to be, now will he?
Yeah, I’ve decided to do an epilogue and answer some of these questions.
Showing the fight is something I’m avoiding since it’s huge and pointless now…
But there’s so much more worth talking about than some brawl in a basement, isn’t there?
