HOLY MONKEYPOO!
on February 10, 2018 at 12:01 amYeah, here’s the thing about The Cheese. He seems pretty magic, right? Well, as per Dina’s drop of the usual maxim about how sufficiently advanced techology yadda yadda, The Cheese nonetheless runs on the laws of physics as per the universe.
Mist does not. Mist runs on magic. Actual real magic.
There is no magic in the Walkyverse.
The Cheese, for all his power, is kinda fucked. Mist takes all the rules The Cheese depends on and throws them in the goddamn garbage, flippantly, like an errant lightsaber over one’s shoulder.
Also, as an addendum, I am not great at rendering things abstracty Picasso-style, as was asked for in our script.
Not too much to say about this one: it’s mostly transitional, but when you’re showing a God-figure falling to Satan’s lieutenant, that’s worth a few extra panels.
Walky’s reaction helps sell it, I think. Sometimes the characters need to project the emotions you want the story to create.

Cheese may be the Heavyweight Champion of the Walkyverse, but Mist is in a whole other weight class.
I remember complaints about Kuririn/Krillin in DBZ being weak, but I pointed out he’s just about the strongest HUMAN–it’s like saying a campfire isn’t as hot as THE SUN but it sure will burn your hand.
I… actually don’t remember how this part plays out, hmm
Krillin only seems weak because he’s going up against enemies who can destroy worlds with a simple flick of the wrist.
He often times gets his ass handed to him within a few minutes only to get right back up and head right back into the fight, because as far as Krillin is concerned, if Goku won’t stop fighting, neither will he.
I know the Cheese survives this somehow because I remember seeing him in later storylines, but I can’t for the life of me guess how he’s gonna get out of this situation.
I am here just for the expression “Holy monkeypoo!” and can’t tell if Walky is just blurting or going all action movie quip on us.

[Waylon Jennings voice] Now, that Cheese fella’s found himself in a pickle. He’s gonna have to get the lid off the jar, and quick.

Does the commentary imply that Mist is of a certain celestially-strolling lineage?
Mist is human, or at least was born human. He sold his soul in exchange for the kind of power he’s displaying here (the “Satan’s lieutenant” bit refers more to the deal and its consequences than his heritage).
Picasso-style? I thought that was meant to be like the classic cartoonish electrocution!
I am of the belief that “The Cheese” is suffering the issues because he is so close to Meighan and Shanna which plays tricks on his omnipotence since his abilities don’t work so well on them…magic be damned, there’s a local reason for everything!
[Cheese]: I am the world!
[Head Alien]: I am the children!
Wait, Aslan isn’t magic?
If we’re going to count Aslan at the bus stop as in-universe, then we should probably be first raising eyebrows over Harry Potter being right beside him.
Although the fact Harry can’t just Apparate them wherever they need to be supports the no-magic thing.
