  She did it! She had confidence in herself and it was enough to power the Engine! All that's left behind is the mast and rigging.

    ... which means that that toppling chimey's still going to hit the deck ... if not deeper ...

  One of the few stories that can pull up "you just have to believe in yourself!" And doesn't make you roll your eyes, cringe, or facepalm into oblivion. Wonderful writing, delivering, and perfect coherence within the world (the word would be "verosímil", but I don't know if the equivalence makes sense)

  I love this comic! That would be all

    "You just needed to believe in yourself and have access to a massive engine powered by certainty."

    "This moral feels... unhelpfully specific."

      If you want a literal moral, I think maybe the one about there being no “good” people, might hold up a bit better. It’s much less dramatic though.

      That's part of what makes it wonderful to me XD

    Supernormal Step can do that too because magic is powered by confidence.

      Well, but I consider that to be... well "subtler" is not the word (maybe it's not even a word? sorry haha). I mean confidence overcoming odds is a thing. But actually having it be stated in the "script" that believing in yourself will literally save the day is "less subtle" and a hell-lot more complicated to pull through with an ounce of satisfaction. It's becuase the devise here is literally taken from the lore (a magical lore we have been quite acquainted to by now, let me add) that this "believe in yourself" doesn't sound flat, or hasty, or plain nonsensical. It just makes you go "go Lei, by the hand, save us all!" I mean it would usually point out to "lazy writing", but in this case it is absolutely the oppossite. Subverted expectations. (sorry for my English, it's foreign to me, and it is late haha)

  Kick it up a notch.

  Lei is living "perfect is the enemy of good".

  
  

  You go, girl.

• Rolan7 4 years ago archived

  Now that's a well-earned payoff! It's ironic how inspiring Lei is (since she doesn't know she's inspiring).

  I wonder if V's still going to call her "my assistant."

  • HappyFett 4 years ago archived

    Probably forever.

  Also, I loved the evocation of [The Great Wave off Kanagawa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa") in panel 4. Brilliant.

  Would not want to be on deck at this point. Hope the Captain will be fine.

  Certain Ex Machina.

  
  

  Good thing it was still filled with determination. Otherwise it would have been undertales for the whole lot of them...

• KipOfTheMany 4 years ago archived

  GO LEI! This is such a neat little parallel to the climax in 'Vanishing Act'. There is a different between confidence and pride, and she has found it! I'm so proud of her!

  Didn't need those sails anyway.
