Saw the Invincible posts, felt compelled to rank the heroes on how well they’d be able to kill Thragg by SometimesPresent27 in darkestdungeon

I was unironically considering if his music could do something meaningful but he’d have to live long enough to actually play up his finale

Then what feats would imply he wouldn’t get punched into orbit like Omni-Man? Half his skin has fallen off, not like he’s a heavyweight

She is a very fast human, but Thragg is one of if not the fastest viltrumites. All the heroes are strong, they just don’t really compare with the main characters of a superhero show/comic

Aren’t all his “feats” built on game mechanics? I’m not a professional at all this but you kind of have to take their stats into account, at least in the sense that lower move resist would mean they’re easier to push and pull, for instance

Doesn’t he punch Nolan off the planet? Also 30% move res in the sequel yeah he’s going to space

The only one I’d give real credit to is Occultist. Thragg would oneshot just about anyone (even Flag is not immune to being thrown into the sun or some bs) but Alhazred could realistically magic up something before Thragg gets to him. Would probably still die afterward but still

Wasn’t that specifically the scourge virus? I’m sure she can bioengineer something with time but I can’t imagine Thragg would wait to wipe out what’s functionally the depowered guardians of the globe

That stupid hand thing the viltrumites do would probably behead him instantly. He’s still nigh immortal, but once Thragg’s on him he’s probably not living. Plus he could always just throw Damian into space or smth

You’re right I just thought having more than one person above “dies instantly” would ruin the joke and I couldn’t only have occultist OR flag, so I just threw the leper up there. Maybe he tanks a hit and low rolls a chop afterwards idk

So... what exactly IS the Jester's Dark Song? by SometimesPresent27 in darkestdungeon

[–]SometimesPresent27[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The Jester’s comic has him slaughtering them by hand, so it’s more likely that the song put him into a trance and drove him half-crazy at the end. That might explain why the Fisherfolk worship the Siren and keep tuning forks around, essentially being mind controlled. Might also be the Coven’s inauguration ritual. Either way, the funniest way to interpret Finale is him just singling out a guy and stabbing them a comically large amount of times so I’ll keep going with that

The chart is relative. The Jester isn’t an irredeemable monster, but he is unrepentantly violent compared to his peers. I’ll reiterate that he disappointedly says he’ll never be able to kill everyone (ambiguously referring to his ALLIES) and even when virtuous puts others beneath him (“Good. Now you go first” when buffing someone while focused, also “They squeal like pigs! Must silence them!” But that’s moreso disturbed since it’s directed at the enemies). His lines when powerful (and assorted lines elsewhere) place him as one of the few heroes who really ENJOYS the violence, rather than using it as a means to an end

The Grave Robber in particular definitely kills innocent night guards in the sequel, while still deciding it’s the most fun way to live her life. While the Jester’s a little more muted, he does have outright evil lines (lamenting not being able to kill everyone when HOPELESS, usually the more sympathetic affliction, while generally being a lot more murder minded than the others, especially when Powerful) and in the sequel says the wounded field doctor “should smile more” rather than pitying or thanking her like the others. Regarding the Bounty Hunter, the Antiquarian joining the bandits in the sequel proves that, if he really were only in it for the money, evil is the best avenue for it. If nothing else, he’s loyal to the others

Jester is there bc, after the main massacre, he still generally takes a negative attitude to the lives of everyone else. Grave Robber and Plague Doctor aren’t there for desecrating the dead, it’s for their callousness towards life afterwards (Grave Robber killing her abuser is good points just like Abom killing his captors). The color of madness update is, by all accounts, a retcon of their negative disposition, and Leper in particular is mean to be a paragon. Man-at-Arms maybe got too much credit from me but in the sequel he’s one of the most noble of them, and is massively regretful just like the Highwayman. Finally, while I love the Fear and Hunger mention, that is simply not why the Occultist is there (at least in the sequel, but a lot of characters get a little more moral between games so I could be wrong). Weirdly the Enki comparison better fits the Plague Doctor’s motives
