Vendetta #368
POP OF THE NIGHT: Our Killers
I had always wondered what would happen after Burning Justice found out who was responsible. And this reaction segment here just makes so much damn sense. The young boy filled with rage, ready to rush into a fight that he probably wouldn't win without a plan, ready to get the revenge he's been looking for all this time. And then the father who slows the pace, being the level head in the situation and pointing out that rushing in has never worked in their favor before. I've been waiting for this fallout for a long time, and I'm eager to see just how Burning Justice play it from here on.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
- Who's trying to reach George Cade?
- How long can Aurora run? Will she be able to escaped Malakai Midnight as easily?
- Will EMM be able to find a team in time for Forces of Darkness?
- Is Gemini truly safe with Mr. Sunshine?
- Has Nox taken Foley to Doom on a silver platter?
- Why does Zeus owe Klaus a favor of all people?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Well, whatever was in that box seems to have done the trick. It's gotten rid of CJ Thorpe for now. George Cade seems to be a bit preoccupier with whoever is trying to reach out to him. We're heading into Forces of Darkness to see Jackson vs Jasper, but it looks like the rest of the family won't be there to have Jackson's back. But, what was in the box? More importantly, what could be in a second box that Jasper said CJ should expect? Whatever it is, it must be daunting as hell to keep the OSW Champion at home on the couch.
POP OF THE NIGHT: Touchpaper 1 takes it for me. I won't lie, I've always been a big mark for Harold Attano finding his daughter and this showed that he at least made the attempt to do it the right way. He tried to get in, getting stopped and being told that she isn't her daughter, but Klaus's ward was a fun way of going on that. I am curious to see how it's gonna go, and knowin Attano some heads are gonna be smashed for this.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
- Where is Nox taking Foley?
- What was in the box that would affect CJ so much?
- How are Burning Justice going to move on from here?
- Who will El Mariachi bring to help him survive against the forces of Six Foot Under?
HAVE YOUR SAY: Rise of the Disciples was a fantastic showing, both presenting a horrifying insight into the church of Ezekiel Graves and showing us that Captain Arcadia has found a new source of danger in the realm of his beloved Arcadia. Knowing how dangerous and brutal these guys can be, I'm wondering what sort of way this is gonna end up. I have a feeling these disciples are gonna be a bit more brutal and vicious than we're letting on and he's gonna have to step in to save the day. Fantastic stuff!
POP OF THE NIGHT: (What was the moment, in segment, that you enjoyed the most and why?)
i particularly enjoyed our killers for this one. i just think theres something to be said to the raw emotion shown by destructo in this segment who seems to be reaching his breaking point now. this kinda adds a different dynamic or layer to it for me. also with seeing as how they’re going to approach things differently with more thought out planning, its gonna make for an interesting next couple of weeks for these guys and everyone that's involved.
BURNING QUESTIONS: (What questions does the show have you asking after reading?)
where’d doom go? what’s in the box? what did roland stumble upon? who’s looking for george?
HAVE YOUR SAY: (How did you like your characters portrayal and what are your thoughts on your current storyline? What, if any, improvements could be made?)
this segment was unique to me for two reasons and i hope this makes just a little sense cause at 2 am it kinda does. this week in anton and rolands segment together, it like nothing got accomplished, but it also felt like it did. and i reckon thats a good thing. the other unique thing was that to me, both characters came out looking strong and looking like themselves imo, where it isnt usually like that in these situations so that's cool. it seems that roland stumbled on something that likely gives him more insight about this contract situation and now, im left wondering if it will have anything to do with anton anymore or if there will be some kinda swerve. i enjoyed this week tho.
POP OF THE NIGHT:
I'm going to give this to Home Help because it's a complete 180 of the normal character we see in CJ Thorpe. There's always been pride and bravery dancing with stupidity on his end. This is interesting because if it was just Redgrave, I wouldn't call it fear. Whatever is in that box is making him break to the point of a personality change and that's really interesting.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
What is in the box?
How many failed marriages will happen with Six Feet Under and how many events of Tombstone will Gravedigger repeat?
How far will the disciples of Christ go?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Interesting turn, makes sense that Gemini is the one Narcissa is chasing as they've always been intertwined. I'm definitely interested in why Mr. Sunshine is involved with all of this. I can't speak much to Narcissa’s portrayal but I'm curious to see where it goes.
POP OF THE NIGHT: Our Killers
The emotion in the writing was amazing. As I’ve started to get into the shows, this segment brought me closer as a reader to the relationship between Burned Man and Destructo Boy. Having a strong character like Destructo Boy show raw emotion with this “Destructo Boy stops struggling, tears now streaming down his angered face” really hits hard. Following it with the embrace and the line, “We’re gonna get our house in order, and then burn theirs to the ground,” sent chills down my spine. Amazing writing, and I’m super excited to see where this goes.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
• How deep will Graves’ Disciples’ following go? Will there be violence?
• How many more boxes are there, and what’s inside them?
• Is Mister Sunshine a friend or foe to Gemini?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
First off, I want to say great match, Wolf Fang Ayame, I really enjoyed it.
I also really enjoyed the segment Rise of the Disciples. I’m legit super pumped to run with The Disciples, and having Graves create lore within OSW gives me a sense of excitement moving forward. The thought of potentially working with a character like Captain Arcadia is exciting.
I really appreciate all the hard work everyone puts in to move the Reverend Ezekiel Graves character forward.
It’s a huge honour to have one defence in Graves’ championship reign against such a tough opponent.
