      Thugos doesn't seem to think in terms of danger to himself. He holds the opinion that if he can provoke someone to become stronger and more ruthless than him, even if that someone destorys him, then his work is done. Transforming Lara into a monster would be a victory.



    Quote:
    I'm starting to see things more clearly now. Thugos believes that if he gives Lara limitless power, it will make her loyal to him, so he can use her for his evil purposes. The fault with that logic is Lara has already learned how to handle being powerful, and she hasn't turned evil yet.


We'll certainly get to understand his motives in-story, but two acceptable outcomes (to him) are that Lara returns changed and empowered and either works for or against him in bringing forward evolution through conflict.


    Quote:
    In fact, it's not even guaranteed that she would take him down, because she always tries to consider the consequences first: Who depends on him for survival, and what will become of them; and what kind of worse evil would take his place.


It's certainly not guaranteed that she could take him down since he's one of the toughest characters in the Parodyverse, and he's far more ruthless and experienced at weilding vast power than any newbie deity.


    Quote:
    Or I could be wrong, and the act of someone reading the wonderwall personally would cause destruction of the Parodyverse, and Thugos wants her to believe it's her fault. Or maybe he's confident she'll learn something from it that prompts her to want it destroyed.


Noted.

      Quote:
      You may have missed the import of our cliffhanger ending. Exu is dead. It's his murder that is powering the entire empire of undead. Someone else is responsible.



    Quote:
    That's an easy mistake to make, since he can resurrect as easily as anyone else who has.


There's certainly more to the story yet - a villain's extended gloat, for starters (and the villain behind this is a well-established gloater).

      Quote:
      Well, the Bitches are detailed to support (and observe) the humans but it remains a human mission. I think they also respect strength and competence. And if Chaiki is an assassin they don't want to get on the bad side of her. They have to sleep sometime



    Quote:
    Now that might be funny, because while Chiaki hates being called an assassin, she might use that to appear threatening to the Bitches so they can't push her around. Chiaki does have a bit of a sense of humor.


Kwatrain's Assassin Corps are bad people to annoy on Apocalyspe if you wish to safely eat, sleep, breathe, touch things...

        Why do I get the feeling Vinnie meeting that Bonsai Kitten is going to be another episode like Vinnie and Kerry, and Liu Xi is going to be very angry?

        Quote:
        I have no idea.



    Quote:
    Is that anything like asking if the Hooded Hood planned this all along?


Possibly.
