With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Apparently better than America. That's all we know thanks to Word of Zoat.

 

why is paul not helping with the justified apocalypse? he knows the life equation doesnt he? also i know batman shot darkseid in final crisis but how was earth de-justified?

 

He mentioned before that he has two plans in place for that. One will take four minutes and simply has him get the people he cares about and bailing on Earth. The second will take months to implement, and I assume that plan is being implemented off-screen.

 

did he mention what the second plan was?

 

Sure, I know that's what you meant, but it's definitely not what you wrote.

Qwardians' (unless you instead want to change the previous reference to "with a Qwardian" instead of "with the Qwardians")

: instead of ;

 

No details were given, just that it would take months.

 

"Finger of Silence, and it's pointing at you!"

 

Makes me wonder who Sunset would be in another life.

 

I recommend the world-hopping wackiness of Pocket System on SufficientVelocity for that reason. Half of the settings made me groan when they were revealed, half just aren’t familiar to me. Yet each one contributes in its own way. Uh, it is a very different experience pprotagonist-wise compared to Paul though.

I recently learned one Transformers comic line shared a setting with GI Joe. I mean… what? How’d that work? Why was it attempted? Anyway, I try not to judge a series before I walk away from a fanfic. No one can watch every anime, for example, and anime fanfics can offer a good time without knowing the source material… unless the author doesn’t know the source material…

 

Which tell's us he's basically given up and decided Earth isn't important enough for him to bother with.

Even though it's the most important planet in the Universe.

 

Thank you, corrected.

Those are both real cards, by the way. Transformers now shares a setting with Phyrexia, which also shares a setting with Warhammer 40,000.

 

Can Grayven still not say his name?

 

"exceptional"

"reaches"

"so I imagine"

You wouldn't survive it.

 

We've -> We're

 

Such is the nature of being a Renegade. He chose this way long ago, when he first came to this world. And he has been trying to be better, but that big pile of Renegade reputation points still hangs over him like a cloud...

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

...And now I wonder what those species were, since I doubt common pony to Alicorn counts.

Aw, no getting to watch her stumble about? Just take all the fun out of it, then...

Heh, Sunbutt admitting she's not good at something? Remarkable.

Methinks they were disappointed Luna wasn't there. You're just a little bit... You... For their comfort.
(And since I have no idea who's actually delivering that Godspeech, I choose to assume both are of similar mind.)

Eh, they're used to distant parental figures. At least they get to see him often.

And smart enough to lead the kids out of earshot, I see. Not that the adults can't catch up to them easily enough if needed.

'Character is what you are in the dark', and all that. I think he went that way because of the younger kids. They would have needed help, and since he's the oldest...

Ace, before anyone asks. Though I doubt Lynn uses that name anymore.

So no magical pony has ever had transformative powers before? Impressive that they got changed back, then. Or was it just a matter of dropping a dispel on them and hoping the polymoprh was a 'fail-safe' effect...

Yes, she's not a filly any more. Despite you initially treating her like one after her return.

The no-doubt-large smirk probably helps show that he's joking....

Hell, he could crash that economy with a single asteroid.

Even invoking His existence is no laughing matter, after all.

You think Luna would play that game if she didn't feel like it?

No, Sunbutt, there is no hope of reconciliation. Not with Him. He is devoid of all Harmony...

...Let's just say it was not a fun day to be DeSaad...

Since using the rings to, er... Cap the flow... would be risky, given he probably wouldn't be able to maintain focus on them in the moment...

Heh. A little embarrassed to be thinking of your little sister as an adult that way, eh? I bet her blush is radiant right now.

And that should tell you much about Him.

Orion being the one not talking to him, of course. And Kalibak being the other.

Ohhh, boy. Here we go.

And that's no idle threat, given either of them have considerable pyrotechnic abilities...

Given your best is what put the two of you in this situation to begin with, indeed...

So, this is happening, then. And Grayven has wisely retreated out of the blast zone. Always knew under the abrasive dickhead facade, there was a sensible fellow there. Hopefully, they can just have it out without the mountain resembling the aftermath of Ramiel's beam attack... Hopefully it just ends with some shouting, a slap or two, and eventually some good, cathartic crying...

His face relaxes, all humour leaving it.

 

Perhaps he recently played God Of War 2018.

 

’to me’

 

Somewhat bitter sweet.

On the one hand seeing Greyven being domestic is great. And seeing Celestia out exploring is great, particularly from her POV.

…however that just highlights how disappointing the chapter before last was. While the primary SI soapboxes at a great many people and about a great many things, it is rarely the same person more than a couple of times and it is very rarely the entirety of their interactions. The various alt versions also soapbox, but again with great variety and admirable moderation. Greyven has bashed Celestia over the head again and again and again, with very little other interactions before this update. It has become boring. At this point I just want the whole ‘prove Celestria is a moron’ plot line over and done with.

Interesting that Boy!Paul hasn’t changed his name. Or picked a nickname less generic than ‘Boy’.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

"One."

That's funny.

Most Transformers comic lines share a universe with the Joes.

Heck, Hasbro tried to make a "comic universe" which had Transformers, G.I. Joe, Rom, Action Man, M.A.S.K., Micronauts, Visionaries, Inhumanoids, and Jem all in the same universe. (And, by implication, Pound Puppies.)

It...honestly worked pretty well, conceptually; some of the writers were less than good. (Transformers vs. Visionaries was pretty badly done and the M.A.S.K. comic writer could not into continuity in his own comic yet alone with anything else in the universe - it says something that the only thing good from the M.A.S.K. comic was the annual, which was functionally a G.I. Joe comic guest-starring Matt Trakker...).

But if you think that's weird, riddle me this: the Transformers comics were once published by Marvel for years and were mainline Marvel canon as part of the main 616 universe.

 

I am quite sure that the so called "Universes Beyond" cards are not canon to the MtG setting. They are novelty cards that are legal to play in certain formats, but they didn't write any novellas or short stories with crossover events.

Another indication that they aren't canon are the unofficially named "Universes Within" cards. MtG also made cards from the universes of Walking Dead, Stranger Things and Street Fighter. But those cards later on get new versions where the art and name is changed into MtG canon compatible stuff. Examples:

Spoiler: Examples

They are planning on doing this six months after the Universes Beyond cards get released. Street Fighter cards are getting reskinned in the upcoming set and Walking Dead cards still haven't been despite being the oldest.

They also have reskins of existing MtG cards for the settings Arcane, Fortnite, Age of Sigmar and Blood Bowl. And they already have scheduled stuff for Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, Final Fantasy and Assassin's Creed.

Treating all of this stuff as canon crossovers when none of it is ever shown to interact with each other outside the actual game on the table seems like madness to me.

 

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but just to clarify for the rest of the thread, that's not true in the slightest. Transformers and 40k have had MTG cards produced, that are legal for play in legacy formats. Those worlds are not part of the MTG multiverse, and their cards do not depict events that occur in the MTG story.

 

I heard Kratos's voice. Anyone else when he choose Boy instead of a actual name?

 

Now I can't unhear it!

We all know what needs to happen next.

Renegade needs to get him a giant wolf as a pet and he needs to get a talking magic head for himself.

I think Merlin was a talking head in one comic, so there's that option.

 

Just make sure that Celestia goes back home before it's time for her to forget that this isn't her sun and she doesn't need to move it.

 

Pff, that's nothing.

Maybe one of the Marvel Pauls will run into Death's Head.

He's from Marvel's Transformers universe, shrunk down to human size by the Doctor (yes, Doctor Who) using one of the Master's shrinking devices, who then somehow made it to the mainstream Marvel universe to be a time traveling bounty hunter.

Later killed by Minion who became Death's Head 2.

This didn't stop Death's Head 1 from showing up to work for SWORD, SHIELD's extraterrestrial branch/equivalent while his murderer Death's Head 2 was over in Great Britain working for MI13.

So yeah the guy whose origin lies with a Transformers and Doctor Who crossover is still canon.

 

Personally I actually enjoy fanfics where a character from a world I know finds themselves in a world I and they do not know. It's a good way to learn about a setting while still having a familiar anchor.

 

Neither of which will ever happen because Fate has already written how Darkseid dies.

And that's not it.

 

Registering a prediction. When we return to Paragon and he finally goes back to Justified Earth, he'll find that they fixed the problem like a couple of days after he left.

Because they're big bad superheroes, they can in fact solve stuff without Orange Lantern handholding them.
