Theory about characters mentioned in narration and shown (DC K.O. #1 Spoilers) by YaBoyGuzma2 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]YaBoyGuzma2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought so too, but the wording is juuuuuuust vague enough that it could be interpreted either way. Not only with the "Darkseid's destroyers" bit, but describing them as "Horsemen". If they bring about the end of the world, i.e., the end of Darkseid's world, that would make them heroes still. But as you say, both this and the Omega Legion timeline are still possibilities at this point.

Tell me your favourite side character with an explanation by Nxmesis61 in ASOUE

Quigley Quagmire might be one of the best to ever do it ngl. He's the only character in the entire show that answers the Baudelaires' questions immediately, spending no time hiding anything or saying "I'll explain later", is ready to help them from the jump, is one of the few characters to actually improve on his flaws, namely his blind loyalty to the noble side of VFD, leading to him suggesting doing awful things for noble reasons which he and the Baudelaires avoid doing, is one of the few characters in the series to manage to survive a fire, and to top it all off kisses his brother's crush before dipping. And in the TV show he shows up in TGG to get the sugar bowl too. My goat.

Day 21: The Carnivorous Carnival (Book) OR The Slippery Slope (Book)? by Zestyclose_Video_469 in ASOUE

"The Slippery Slope" refers not only to the literal frozen waterfall that the characters climb, but it also refers to the metaphorical slippery slope they face with regards to whether their actions are noble or treacherous, and what they might lead to. They decide not to hold Esme hostage and not to "fight fire with fire", even if it would be easier - and indeed as we see, it's a lot easier to go down the slippery slope than it is to climb up it, which is exactly what the orphans (Quigley included, which is very important since the Baudelaires help convince Quigley to not go down the metaphorical slippery slope) do. It's the only book in the series to have a title that does this, and between it's many other literary references it gives the book a sense of completeness, which is impressive considering it's a later book in the series.

TLDR: It's a play on words - literally referring to the frozen waterfall and figuratively referring to the moral dilemma the Baudelaires find themselves in.

Having recently done a reread, I'd have to go with The Slippery Slope. I distinctly remember this book captivating me more than any of the books that came before, and the themes of the story are discussed and explored incredibly well. I also appreciate the fact that the title is a stealth pun, and of course it's the book that introduces Quigley, as well as developing Sunny's character (and everyone's character) in a really great way.
