Captain Obvious Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick If either Elan or Tarquin is ever depicted kneeling over the severely injured body of the other, saying "I'm never going to give you up", or anything even remotely similar, I will hunt you down, Hermit.

Hermit Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick Agreed! The best part was the look on Elan's face in the last panel. The exasperation, the frustration all out there to see! And then, I realized where I'd seen it before. Normally Roy wears it, often when having to deal with Elan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try being more optimistic". made me laugh But over all, I'm just in awe at Rich's writing, and Tarquin is the most fascinating villain I've seen in years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick There's something almost admirable in a villain who is unashamed about their villainy, who embraces it with all their being. "If I win, I get to be a king. If I lose, I get to be a legend." That's indeed a dangerously genre savvy character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archermoo Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick "If I win I get to be a king. If I lose I get to be a legend." Except that currently he is the power behind the throne. So if he were to get taken out now he wouldn't be remembered at all. Just sayin...

While amusing for him to be gulped down like a tasty snack, it would violate the rules of drama. Would be fine in a comedy though. I hope he doesn't get eaten; he's too awesome to die before his time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawnmower Boy Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Re: Order of the Stick Wow. Just wow. Does this mean that Elan's character development requires him to turn against the tyranny of narrative? "For him, at least, there will be a happy ending" begins to sound even more ominous.
