--- Quote from: Timemaster on 09 Jan 2017, 22:39 ---Anyway, this whole developement seem to be a classic deus ex machina and I must admit that Iīm not a big fan of that. When thereīs drama, it should be somehow resolved by the protagonists. The drama can turn out to be a comedy or a tragedy, but either way itīs their own story. Now this kinda becomes the story of someone else.

Yeah, I am not crazy about the Deus Ex Machina, either. The new character* is super cool and I want to see him/her more, but the introduction was kinda iffy to me.
I wonder if paralysing Faye was the new character's disregard for her and Woland just didn't care, or perhaps it was a calculated move to show "see? I can do awesome things" to lead more credibility to the offer. I suppose we'll know when we see the plot develop and we know the new arrival's personality better.
*I'm gonna call him/her "Woland" in my head, I have absolutely no idea why, but she reminds me of the "Master and Margarita" character with her attitude, if not looks, and people in the forum are already drawing comparisons to Satan, so I'm gonna go with that.

The Master and Margarita is great, but I think you're overinterpreting here. It's a very different narrative.
BlueFatima:
I don't know about whether or not QC is shark-jumping (I actually am enjoying the storyline so far), but the new creepy character is very clearly a homage to Desire from the Endless. Anyone who's read the Sandman knows what I'm talking about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_(DC_Comics)
Perfectly Reasonable:
"And people like you love to do things for people like me. Why should I trust you inside my head? After what you did to my friend?"
--- Quote from: jheartney on 09 Jan 2017, 19:11 ---I've been imagining Graymarm's dialogue spoken in the voice of HIM from the Powerpuff Girls. It works rather well. The gestures and manner from the comic suggest the same sort of androgynous and extravagant sleaze, coupled with arrogant privilege.

vforvancouver:
Wait...
Where is Faye!?
She was sliding all the way to the floor in panel 2; you can see her next to Bubbles' chair.
But in panel 5, Faye's gone and you can see almost all of HIM (like the villain from the Powerpuff girls, because we don't know yet if QC's HIM is a he or a she or both or none) and a good part of the floor, most probably from the perspective of Bubbles. Perhaps even directly from her eyes.
So where is Faye!? :psyduck:

Neither. They are a they. ;)
And they are totally Desire from the Sandman. That's how they now Bubbles can't resist their offer. :-D
