Finally, An Audio Version Of Greg Fic Is Available Now

Finally, an audio version of Greg fic is available now

The background detail about how the absurd jockeying, politicking, and posthumous stunts at the post-endbringer funeral services forced the cape community to come up with the most non-denominational, non-specific memorial monument possible in order to avoid a media clownshow every three months, and that they’ve now got a warehouse full of these obelisks ready to get inscribed with the names of the fallen and deployed at the attack sites before the fires are completely out- this is, not exactly parody, but it is, like. Deeply deeply deeply fucking funny. 

Tragic! And an excellent synedoche for the larger co-ordination problems and ingrained cynical fatalism facing the setting. But also darkly funny, and in a way enabled by the logic of the superhero tropes in play even though it’s hard to read it as an attack on any specific trope.

No costume required just T Pose like a boss.

Byron and Tristan got real lucky in the Fallen Raid, because both of their costumes could be mistaken for Fallen Aesthetics (Leviathan and Behemoth)

Some of the most annoying worm fans are the ones who are so poisoned by power scaling nonsense that their only criticisms are nitpicks like "Jack not being able to lose to parahumans is bullshit" or "Lung gets worfed because he always loses to Taylor how is only X level"

They forget that these elements are in here for narrative reasons and not so you can put these characters on a fake Tier list and argue with strangers on r/Whowouldwin.

Jack not losing to parahumans challenges many the characters notions about treating regular humans as an after thought and shows that maybe powers are not the best solution for every situation.

This same thing applies basically any superhero or action story.
