Everyone knows a stylish cloak makes you look more awesome.
A stylish coat over a stylish cloak? That's a bit much. The Cult of Gloom probably would frown over a fashion statement like.
We've got the Wiki updated for this episode.
No no, silly, I was saying the stylish cloaks give the Gloomies a leg up on the attractiveness scale since there aren't a lot of heroes (or other villains for that matter) with stylish cloaks.
I didn't get that, either. Maybe he was told he was supposed to kill Ambuscade, but he was really there to save him? Was CON conning him? Or was someone conning CON?
Or maybe Jim found a nonviolent way to save the timelines, by accident? After all, he never really knows what he’s affecting or why.
That accident was OblivAeon
My impression was that OblivAeon was most definately not nonviolent.
Depends upon the viewpoint of a given reality.
I still think there's something unexpectedly weird and creepy about CON after the Chrono episode. Was CON just guessing all this stuff since that's what Unity/Fixer/AA programmed them to do? Were they going on actual historical records? Did someone or something else start giving CON orders somehow at some point?
Could have been Biomancer, we do know there was a dupli-ranger fleshchild at some point who interacts with CON.
Which was never mentioned in the Chrono-Ranger episode, so we'll have to wait til Biomancer's episode to hear more about that possibility,
Where is that information from? Nothing on the card Clone Ranger seems to indicate working with CON.
The flavor text of that card heavily implies Clone Ranger is in Con's bunker somehow.
Ok but the statement implies Clone Ranger worked with CON which we don't know. All we know is they have at least one interaction.
CON doesn't interact with anyone, to our knowledge, outside of Chrono-Ranger.
The one exception to this we know of from before Oblivaeon is the Clone Ranger card, which implies the Fleshchild of Chrono-Ranger ends up in CONs Bunker or at least has some interaction with CON.
Going from this, if I had to make a wild guess about someone changing CON or manipulating CON to darker ends, such as changing the bounties from monsters to kill this person, then we have two suspects.
A shadowy figure we have no clue of their identity of their existence.
Bionmancer, who we know sends a Fleshchild to CON and is clearly evil, creepy, smart, and generally plans long-term.
It's a long shot, but its the only target I can see right now
We will see whenever they get to the Biomancer episode. I expect that one will have impact on various stories since Biomancer seems more inclined to manipulate from the shadows rather than take on anyone head on.
I have so many questions about Biomancer.
Like how his flesh powers work (since he can clearly replicate people's powers to some degree; Tachyon's speed, Tempest's weather manipulation, even Argent's Void sensitivity), or what his end goal even is for using them since his deck is pretty vague on that call.
For a wild guess on Tempest and Tachyon, it's as simple as DNA. To make a fleshchild he needs a DNA sample, probably blood. Tachyon's DNA was altered by the accident that gave her powers, Tempest's abilities are entirely because of his race. Both of them would therefore have there powers if cloned from the correct DNA sequence.
Argent Adept though could not work like this, unless we fall into the mess of considering the musical talent required for contacting the void to be a biological factor. And that is a morass I don't feel like touching. Much easier to assume Biomancer is a good enough wizard to pull power from the Void. Dangerous, but other magical beings have done it before and he would be more channeling it into the Carbon Adept, so he would be relatively safe if terrible things happened to it.
This was my favorite part of the podcast, and I wish it happened more often. Often when I ask about "What happened in [blank] event?" (like when I was asking about Ansel arresting the Wraith) that's the type of stuff I'm looking for. I get that, with 40+ "years" of lore, they can't do that for every episode, espeically the bigger events like Vengance, but I'm happy we got that here.
Also, happy they read my question so everyone known that I got that pin removed with no downside what-so-ever. If I learned anything, it's that dealing with mystical disembodied voices is alwyas good. I guess Christopher was just a little worried cause I already freaked him out a bit as Spite.
It was good and it makes me wonder what stories with the Sentinels they will delve into. They seem to have connections with a lot of the misfits of the Multiverse.
