It’s been a while since I thought of anything purely positive to say, but here goes. Though I nitpick the details of OblivAeon a bit, I mostly see the logic of how he works, and I fully believe that C&A’s work to make an ultimate destroyer entity that actually feels interesting, both as a character concept and in terms of actually fighting him, is the best job any creator has ever done. (MCU Thanos takes the silver medal. He’s a great character and the battle against him makes two awesome movies, but there’s enough about it that feels unsatisfying on a few levels that it doesn’t quite equal Blivs. Anti-Monitor gets the bronze I suppose.)
It’s weird that they waffle on the question of multiversal splitting within the sandwich bag; obviously everyone’s RPG campaign is a separate timeline branching from the start point of the sentinel comics universe just after OA falls.
Back to the negativity a bit, it annoys me a little that when you fight OA in the app, and you lose, “The multiverse is destroyed” - except you can try again. It’s much more sensible to say that every game where OA wins is a single timeline being destroyed, and the entire OblivAeon battle is the sum total of all such games. If a real world cartoon or comic or something ever happens, I would want it to acknowledge that fact in a slightly meta way.
Moving beyond Blivs, the comment about Xtremeverse Setback makes me really think that he’s a hilariously over-the-top walking disasters that’s mostly slapstick comedy, but involving literally billions of dollars of property damage.
The simple solution to the Burying the Blade and Miss Information thing is just that the Baron Blade in her story was a hallucination or a dimensional alternate, and never the real Blade.
“It’s not funny to be accurate all the time” - Adam missed a chance to score some points here by pointing out, yes he does a terrible French accent for Ambuscade and other French things, but he also does a terrible Bri’Ish accent for Captain Cosmic and other English things. Mockery is all-inclusive, at least as long as you’re mocking someone who has a sense of humor about their culture, which France and England both historically do. Other countries, maybe less so, but hopefully that’s temporary, and we’ll someday arrive at a future so devoid of bigotry and social schisms and lingering resentments about past conflicts, that you can do a terrible Chinese accent or a terrible Israeli accent or a terrible Inuit or Dineh accent, and nobody gets offended because all of those cultures are completely secure in themselves.
