Hold onto your pouches and guns, we're going Xtreme, people!
It’s so clear they’re were winging it with the Zhu-Long question I sent in and it’s hilarious.
This is my new favorite episode of the LP. :D
That whole Mad Max issue with the Xtremedom Five was incredible. XD
I feel sorry for anyone who was not around in the 90's and may not appreciate Christopher shouting "XTREME" again and again. Because that's really what it was like, you guys have no idea. :B
Shucks my letter wasn’t read with them yelling it.
sorry. My letter killed any and all chances of them doing that voice for every letter.
Speaking of yelling, With the mention of the Gruumiverse in one letter, I want to know about Xtreme Gruum.
I also am sad we didn’t find out about Xtreme Guise.
I asked about it but that got skipped.
-I was worried about the whole episode being the same "character but with huge paudrons and lots of pouches" joke repeated, but when they got to Ambuscade's cyberpunk adventure I was loving it.
-"And then they kissed" was the most I've ever laughed at the letters Page, people around me on the street probably thought I was going mad or something.
-I'll admit I got pretty lost during the Mad Max battle. Waaay too much stuff going on at once, and the lack of names didn't help.
That. Was. Fantastic.
Hands down this was my favorite Disparations episode by a mile. And it's definitely up there in terms of being one of the most fun episodes.
Only an hour in, but already, I got exactly what I wanted out of my letter: Christopher and Adam saying “EXTREEEEME” in different voices for a bit. The answer about La Comodora was also interesting!
Though they edited out the part of my letter where I asked if Adam would draw Extreme Blade or Mohawk Plague Rat. Guessing they got a lot of art requests. 
Hey, X-Metal, I thought I counted a Powerthirst (…quencher!) reference and two Strong Bad references (“more bigger dragon” and “meedlie-meedlie-meeeeeeee!”) in your answer. Nice elicitation of silliness from C&A!
And hey. Hey hey hey. Completionist Guise appears to be holding a comic with the X-treme Prime Wardens on the cover, but the title “PRIME WARDENS” instead of “Disparation.” Did the Extremeverse make an appearance in the main timeline book? Are Disparation books presented with in-alternate-universe titles? Or did Adam make an art mashup mistake and that’s why Guise has this because it’s a super collector item??!
Just wait until you get to my questions and you’ll have your answer
Thank you.
It could be an alternate cover of the issue in which the prime wardens meet the Xtreme-prime wardens.
Glad we got confirmation that OblivAeon shards aren't singular, and that every Captain Cosmic has a "copy" of the same shard.
Sad we still didn't get an explanation of why XTREME Haka benefitted from Haka's origin story despite not being one of the two designees.
We did. It’s a case in their fictional universe that Haka’s Power Origins weren’t explained until we got to the OblivAeon event and thus writers were free to use Haka in any Disparation stories which would have occurred before that piece of his background was determined.
Finished it on my commute to work this morning. Got it! Always risky to post before I finish listening. 
Headcanon is that whenever a Haka disappears, the power of that Haka is distributed equally to all remaining Hakas.
That's how I understand it to work as well. Something they said during one of the many "how does Haka work?" explanations makes me think that's how they intend it to work.
That's the best I've come up with as well. Over the years Hakas in other realities cease to exist periodically and that life-force/whatever is distributed to the remainder, explaining the observed power creep even during the time prior to the writers having this explanation in mind. This continues up until the point in "time" when La Comodora actually does the thing during OblivAeon after which point there are only the two Hakas operating at maximum Haka.
I keep asking leading questions to verify this theory, but they keep not answering it. I'm wondering if it's because the idea is stolen from a Jet Li movie and they don't want to admit it.
In Soviet Xtremeverse, bat bites head off Ozzy Osbourne. (Rest in peace, dear Madman. I’m totally making Infinitor create a manifestation of you.)
“Please debate and discuss” in context is like the funniest line ever.
Xtreme Citizen Dawn is just played completely straight like a propaganda film, where non-powered people are just portrayed as pathetic disgusting worms to be crushed and destroyed by shining perfect Ubermensch Citizens dressed in pouch-studded spiky metal military uniforms covered in medals. Every citizen has to forge their own medallion, which is made using their powers if possible, and they’re designed together by the group of related citizens; you kinda get to create your own, but if Dawn doesn’t like it, you have to do it again, and if the second one isn’t perfect you’re probably killed. It’s not self aware and funny, nor is it gritty and nineties, it’s just exactly what Heathcliff Wolverhampton et al would have wanted in their high school yearbooks.
The other thing I think would be interesting to do would be Xtreme Visionary, because her story could be told in the subjective mental landscapes of all the people she’s dealing with. I might roll Ra into that by having just Blake Washington as a relatively ordinary person, doing the Indiana Jones thing which is normal archaeology in that world, but the whole time he’s fantasizing the battles between Ra and the Ennead, which actually happened thousands of years ago and pretty much scorched the earth of the whole Egyptian kingdom, leaving hardly any surviving relics. So if Ra ever exists in that reality it’s probably because Visionary makes him like a dreamer projection that she just uses as a decoy to save herself, but then his existence also causes the Ennead to come into being.
“Extreme enough to be mean to a little girl” really makes me wonder what the Xtreme Dreamer (the Xtreamer) would be like. It seems like you can’t have any sort of vulnerability in that universe, so I would probably remove her loss condition.
Now that I think about it, as horrific as Citizen Dawn’s scenario above is, I would make it part of the same story arc as the Visionary thing. As much as it’s not cool to make reality of a fantasy like this, it’s totally awesome that people have an imagination at all, and even the fascistic vision of Dawn is an expression of that magnificent truth about the world, it’s simply misplaced (to understate severely) to try and force that vision on others who wouldn’t want to share it.
The arc words for this entire story would be something like “To be powerless is to be victimized; to be empowered is” something positive that needs to sound a little sinister if it’s being used as a slogan for Project Cocoon, but not sinister at all if it’s a theme for the whole story. This is the closest I think I’ve ever gotten to explaining why I have as much of a negative side as I do, and hopefully continuing to stick with my current vision of how to modulate that will prevent the bad stuff from my earlier incarnations here from ever occurring again.
It’s weird that they took Teddy Roosevelt off Mt Rushmore, given that he’s definitely the most Xtreme president since George “I Enjoy The Sound of Bullets Whizzing Past My Head” Washington. And yes that’s a real thing he actually said, though probably misquoted a bit.
