I'm sure there must be an inevitable change with experience over time, but as I'm aging I begin to suspect that the perconality changes are as due to physical and hormonal differences as to character ones.

That said, the longer I've lived the more people have let me down, betrayed, or disappointed me, making it impossible for me to relate to people with the same enthusiasm and trust I once did. So in that sense time inevitably makes persoality differences.




She should mention that to somone in-story.







Presumably they actually happened and then were retconed not to. The Hood may even have allowed himself to erase his own knowledge of the details. He had managed to become an anomaly by altering much of his own history, which is why he appears to be combined from several different origins now. These include a Herringcarp Asylum lunatic, a Herringcarp Asylum Victorian doctor, a moustache-swirling literal comic-boon baddie, and sadistic and lavicious Renaissance Marquis de Herringcarp. He has furnished his past like other people might select things for a room.







Nothig wrong with that.




I'm going to avoid referencing the exeption robots if I can. This is partly because the robot issue is a side-plot to the main event, and I don't want to have to devote time to reintroducing more robots only to then say "but that's okay, because it turns out these are better robots than the ones you;ve been reading about so far and don't worry, they';ll be fine." As with many comic-book crossover crisis stories, the reader must assume that there are plenty of non-featured characters reacting and responding as well that are just not explicity portrayed on the page. In the PV we have tie-ins for that, too.

It doesn't always keep the story entirely focussed (artefact of the shared-universe medium) but it can help. I only have two weeks, about 14 episodes, to finish this plotline - or it'll have to stay hanging for another year!




I try to avoid the Character X is smarter/stronger/sneakier than Character Y stuff when that involves comparing creations from different posters. Various robot geniuses have appeared over the years, from very familiar ones like Al B. and NTU-150 to recurring supporting cast like Dr Wrichards and Rikka Ulz Hagen, to "historic" ones like Baron Zemo and Helen MacAllisfar (Hallie's engram donor). I assume that each was brilliant at the time in their own field, and because this is the Parodyverse, each had their funny flaws and quirks.




Of course, souls are presumably not dependent on software or harware any more than they are on brain patterns and organic punctions.




The problem comes from an actual change in the way the Parodyverse works, not any internal flaw in the machinery or software. It's like saying "the Law of Thermodynamics has changed and now we can't light fires". Different, better, or more flints won't make a difference. The universe just doesn't support it anymore.
