Heyo how Mark?

Pretty good, got some writing in today and tomorrow's the weekend. Plus while I think the newest season has been very slow and kinda fillery. The season finale kind of makes up for a lot of that. While I'm not a hundred percent sold on this version of conquest for my own story, since in the comic's he much more a force of nature representing the overwhelming power of Viltrum rather than a real character.

What did the show do different?

This speech they gave him is way too fucking good. Jeffrey Dean Morgan might've gotten the job because of Nepotism, Kirkman is hiring all of his old Walking Dead Alumni, but he killed it. And I love how despite feeling guilty and even hating what he's doing, he can't stop it either. Could totally see a serial killer giving this same speech to one of his victims.

Conquest hating it? That is extremely different from the comics. Want to hear more of Pale Lights tonight?

Sure would love too, and yep totally different from the comic's. Also the speech gets cut off at the end, his finale line to Mark is take it to your grave. He's so alone the only people he can vent to or emotionally connect are his victims. But another big change is that in the comics he's a lot more professional. This is a job for him. He has objectives and missions to complete.

He likes fighting, but he doesn't get a kick out of torturing or killing like on the show. For him he just wants to end his shift and go home basically. Not here where he's happy Mark resisted because that lets him kill more people.

So there are two other characters that appear. Song Ren is a rule abiding fantasy chinese woman who believes all are free under heaven and hates nobles. She is friends with Angrahed who is a noble of Perdur.

Maryam is a fantasy russian who hates Malini for enslaving her pale skinned slavic people and has a history of witchcraft from her mother. Angrahad is Malni. Tristan just doesn't trust anyone except his Goddess Fortuna who loses arguments with pidgions

So why are these very different culturally and personality wise, character's working together? Some common evil or goal? Are they forced to? Are the fighting each other?

They got put together in a Brigade to enter a school for the Watch, a organization who fights rogue gods and monsters, at the end of book one which is all about trials to join the Watch and a deeper mysteyr.

From what you were describing I didn't expect a Hogwarts style school, but what's it like? As well as the Watch?
