> You certainly made Doorman tougher than I had originally figured. Which is fine; I was thinking of tweaking his powers, but your interpretation shows I don't really have to.
|
I have a scene in the finale which might help to explain why Doorman is so powerful right now, and why he has at least one power we've not seen yet which he is unlikely to keep when he makes the jump to PV-proper. "Death is but a door."
> I admit, I had trouble in the fight scenes keeping track of who was on which side, but I think that's because there are so many villains on both teams, not the way you wrote it.
|
Sorry about that.
> When I saw that only Sigmund has to survive the fight with Gary I was a little surprised, but clearly some things will get put back when reality gets fixed, and the death of D'ur was always meant to be one of them (though originally I wasn't going to kill him, but when Sam took his Bracelet I figured I'd just leave it and resurrect him after the finale), so if Gary goes down too that can be fixed.
|
What I meant by that footnote is that, while there's an intention for Sig to make it back to PV-Earth (from which he alone of the current villains seems to have originated anyway), Killer Flea and the Scarlet Lawnmower can be killed off in the coming battle with Gary without any problem. In fact they deserve it.
> I liked the inclusion of Dynamo Dolphin, by the way.
|
I was trying to think up some names we'd seen in the past. Niobe was a dull thud creation, and she even starred in four or five stories by him.
> I should also note I thought Doorman tossing Liu Xi 5 bucks was a great scene. I admit I had thought Doorman's betrayal would be a little more subtle, but I've been enjoying his kicking the crap out of everyone.
|
I decided I needed to differentiate his powers from the Link's. basically she uses G-Eyed's trick of con necting two points in space together for a second, effectively teleporting things. Doorman is "opening portals", more akin to what EEE does with it's dimension-jumping equipment, which means they can stay open for extended periods of time, but he seems able to open and close doors in a more metaphorical sense too.
My plan in the finale is for Doorman to die (if he hasn't done before that) then open the door back from death (a one-time deal).
> I'll have to plan some Hatman/Doorman stuff when this is all over.
|
Indeed.
> Great job Ian! My time is very limited this week (Sarah's a little annoyed about my work schedule this week, meetings almost every evening) but I'm determined I'll find time for a tie-in or two.

Splendid. You could always point out to Sarah that she'd not be as bored waiting for you if she was reading and replying to Parodyverse stories. Or maybe not.
