911-915 : Personality of Gemstones

Svenyip on March 8, 2007

While today's comic is a “Wall of Text,” I'm still happy with it.

To me, a story's antagonists are always a little more relevant when they feel their actions are in the right, and they're not just “doing evil for evil's sake.”

Granted, some of those reasons just displayed aren't all that deep, but admit it - we all have days where we act like Amethyst (for example), believing that nobody has the right to restrict our actions and opposing anyone that tries.

I can't say the Weapons are “virtues” like in Ultima IV, but they do represent human traits that are either positive or negative depending on when and how they're used.

… which is a little deeper than a comic with a Dimensional Portal and a Booty Bus should be getting, but what can you do? :)
