      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:
    I guess it depends how far along the process Lara realizes what he's doing. She might refuse to go at all if she realizes that no matter what happens to her at the Wonderwall, Thugos is going to harm someone because of it.


I've written this now, but I want to come back to it again to check I got the nuances right.

      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:
    Maybe not...but the point was, she tends to ask herself questions first like: Will this cause another Parody Master to come out of nowhere? Who will feed the billions in Thugos' empire after it falls, or keep them from killing each other? Who will be the Destroyer of Tales, and will they be even worse? etc...


Good questions. The last time Thugos was absent his lieutenants started the whole kidnapping-towns-from-Earth plot.


    Quote:
    What might prompt her to wonder about if it should exist, though, is if the wonderwall implies that the Parodyverse's very existence is killing something important, or if she feels like it's an evil, corrupting presence that will be turned against her or her friends somehow.


Noted. The main problem is that everybody who has gone to the wall and returned (not many) have come back drastically altered - and not always for the better.


    Quote:
    Ironically, if that's what Thugos is trying to turn Lara into, he's going to have problems with that thought process.


We'll try and cover this in the narrative as much as the story allows.


    Quote:
    Actually I just thought of the most likely thing to be scrawled on the Wonderwall - it probably says "Xander Was Here". Or slightly less humorous, it might be a message he planted there waiting for someone who can get there to be sent to read it.


It'd be a good joke, but as far as we know no sorcerer supreme had got to the wonderwall. If they did they'd be something else when they came back - Dormaggadon, for example.
