"I heard you have a dragon problem?" (Chapter 50 / 50) It is done!

Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

Marowak isn't actually that reliable in combat. He already struggled against Walkazo and thus would need protection against someone of Mario's strength, which would be a huge distraction. And while my character hasn't actually seen much of 876's battle abilities since he mostly just stood around being outclassed and occasionally holding Walkazo's gun, my character assumes he is about on the same level as Marowak.

The basis of the decision is that "strength in numbers" would most likely turn into "greater number of casualties" should the plan fail.

It's not perfect reasoning, but if my character was perfect, that would be kind of boring.

That is not entirely true. I know main characters can die, but not the kind Walkazo is.

I do. But that didn't jump to me.
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

He means the central/primary characters can't die, but the supporting cast of secondary characters is fair game. Or so he thinks...

I noticed, but I'm too busy and forgot to point it out. (On that note, there's no way I'm getting an update out before Tuesday at the absolute earliest.)

I bring up my point again. Goku has died twice and he's the central character.

Unless he's exclusively referring to this story.
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

I think the quintessential point is that, when means of revival are available within a work of fiction, main characters are much more likely to die than in other works that lack those means.
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

Well, there are bound to be exceptions that prove the rule. I can think of a video game where the main character dies as well.
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

I can totally name a few too but those are also spoilers.

As for Edo's statement: "when means of revival are available within a work of fiction, main characters are much more likely to die", American Horror Story: Coven is a fantastic example where pretty much every fucking character dies and is resurrected because one of the witches has the power of Resurgence--can bring a soul back from death, including her own, rendering her immortal--and she pretty much just fucking goes around and resurrects every dead body she finds, so by the end of the season basically every character that died is back alive and dead again and back alive and deaths are only permanent when a loophole in her power is discovered, such as if the body has been dead for too long or if there's no soul to even bring back. American Horror Story: Murder House is a similar example but kinda different, since basically everyone dies but if someone dies on the property of this cursed house their soul is bound to it and their ghost can never leave and since pretty much everyone fucking dies in that house because it's haunted as all fuck by malevolent spirits all of the characters suddenly begin piling up in one space and can't leave it.

(four post conflicts, god, shut up for a sec, guys, jeeze, raeg raeg)

I'm not talking about fiction in general, since there's tonnes of examples of deaths, both temporary and permanent, being dealt to main characters (not gonna list examples because spoilers) - but while I agree that it's a bit mistaken to believe primary roles guarantee immunity (maybe even in this comic - I dunno, it's improv), I don't think it's really fair to be mocking him when statements like "The kind of main character that doesn't die." are perfectly comprehendable.

tl;dr: this is a fun thing, play nice, 'k?

wow okay

i'd point out how that's completely missing the point but anton and edo already did that so never mind
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

I like how a whole discussion has flared after my statements.

What I mean is that there is a blurred line in between the characters that don't die for sure (side A) and the characters that have the potential to die (side B). In case of revival the ones on A have the potential to die too but are sure to be revived at some point, like this Goku of yours.

Now let me make a few comparisons. (Contains spoilers for Harry Potter and the The Hunger Games trilogy)

Harry Potter series: Harry, Ron and Hermione are on A, as the story pretty much revolves around them, Dumbledore is on B, while as he is very main, the story does not revolve around him. In this story the other Weasley's and are on side B too actually, but only Fred dies.

The Hunger Games series: Katniss and Peeta are on A, while none if not just few of the other characters are on that side. (Haven't read the last book entirely yet, so don't know everyone's potential yet).

I see there may be contradictions, but it really is case-by-case per series, the line is blurred.

Now this isn't counting stuff where dying is not a thing, like Pokémon. If anything, everything that is an organism excluding plants is pretty durable in that series.
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

I'm not quite sure what any of what LTQ just spouted means, but Harry died. He was ressurected, yes, but he still died.

Deathly Hallows Spoilers
Voldemort hits him with the Avada Kedavra. But Harry doesn't actually die. The way I interpreted it was that Voldemort killed the horcrux that was inside Harry and Harry just went into some state of limbo before waking up.
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

he literally did die

that's why he had to use the Resurrection stone to bring himself back to life

or else he would have stayed dead
 
Re: "I heard you have a dragon problem?"

yeah it is

it brings people back from the dead

that's why it's called the resurrection stone silly
