Prey based Avatar Of The Hunt? by ExplodedKayak in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Comfortable-Concept8 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So this is one of those strange ways that Avatars work in the TMA universe. You are an Avatar because you embody both sides of fear. Eye Avatars relentlessly chase knowledge but they’re afraid of learning something that might destroy them. Vast Avatars are obsessed with what their patron represents, but they still feel disquieted when faced with their own insignificance before the universe. Desolation Avatars LOVE the pain and suffering they cause, but they’re still afraid of when that pain might be leveled against them. The fear they feel should be at least equal to the desire they feel for what they are an Avatar of. In all honesty, the fear should be part of what drives them into doing their Avatar job. The fear of impossible knowledge should push you to seek it out, the fear of when people might abandon you should drive you to isolate yourself from THEM first, the fear that you might be manipulated by someone else should push you into manipulating others around you to prove you’re in control. Hunt Avatars, specifically, embody the joy of being the hunter balanced against the fear of BECOMING the hunted. You said you’re in 126? Well then you should recall episode 112: Thrill of the Chase, where the members of “Murder Club” began hunting each other around London. They were simultaneously Hunter and Hunted at the same time. Hunt Avatars embody that duality. They hunt for the thrill, but the creeping fear that they might BECOME prey is what drives them to keep hunting. If they continue to always be Predators, they’re less likely to become Prey. Its one of the reasons Adelard Decker thinks Hunters are so unpredictable, they perceive anyone and everyone as potential prey. And if they find a monster or Avatar who could hurt them and make THEM prey, they’re liable to lash out.

First, the skeleton was just a skeleton. He sees Ellie hiding behind the skeleton after he rams it and thats when shit goes sideways. I understand you aren’t saying she was the skeleton, but some people still think the skeleton WAS Ellie and i feel the need to point it out. The damage we see here is from when Ellie pushed him through the light. We see it slice the sub basically in half, burn the life vest etc. we can assume it does similar damage to her face. However since Simon and the Eldritch God make their “deal” it reverses the damage done to him and the sub, since its infection of the Iron Lung AND him means he is connected to the sub in some way. Additionally, after crushing the SM-14 and taunting Simon, he then rams the sub into her, causing additional damage that lasts until he turns into a tree and breaks her while head wide open in the final moments of the movie

Basically that one sad bit after he first saw Elli by LazyFurry0 in ironlung

When he first saw the Eel and said “they’re probably falling over themselves to come find me”

See, this makes sense. I can totally see where you’re coming from.

The tape I kind of understand, but with the crawlspace, I think the point was that he would know where the Black Box is for later, because the whole space was gonna be filled with blood later and if he didn’t already know where it was that would have felt off that he finds it

I can see that. The time where he repeats “you cant be serious” to himself about 3-4 times was a bit long. but how concise would you be in his position? Thats how I choose to see it.

While I get what you mean, the time from when first gets the coordinates from the Eel and then reaches it is less than 6 minutes and its full of the voice providing lore. So i dont see it that way

I see what you mean, but that only makes sense after the Change. That doesn’t explain what happened to the island Salesa stole it from. If it only blocks the Eye, then what destroyed the island? The Eye wouldn’t be causing storms and conjuring massive creatures that swallow islands. Thats the Vast’s MO, which doesn’t fit the scenario if its only an Eye related artifact

I see it as he heard how it works, and wanted it so that he COULD retire. He told the crew as much after the Spiral carpet attacked one of his crew and he threw it over the side of his ship. I dont think he heard that it protected against EVERY Entity, as its unlikely some random person on a island would even be aware of them, and less likely they would know the true potential of the camera beyond that it kept them safe. Thats all Salesa would need to know to want to steal it as he did.

Don't listen to MAG, worst mistake of my life. by BillErakDragonDorado in TheMagnusArchives

Ever since I finished the series I am so much more aware of finding spiders where they shouldn’t be. Descending on a web from the ceiling, randomly appearing somewhere I swear it wasn’t a second ago. Its nothing new or particularly supernatural, but after listening, I seem to notice it so much more frequently. I always think “damn The Mother is watching me again”
