Re: Girl Genius XIII: "Gott's Leedle Feesh in Trousers!"
Maybe, maybe not.
Remember: Tarvek no longer has a valid claim to the title, since he died and was resurrected. Legally that removes him from succession. The new guy seems to know this.
(That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see this guy dead by the end of the week, yes, since having two people who look almost identical and are meant to be serving the same role seems a bit redundant.)
This may lead to us finding out exactly what Lucrezia did to produce a Storm King heir.Last edited by Aquillion; 2012-11-03 at 03:54 AM.

Re: Girl Genius XIII: "Gott's Leedle Feesh in Trousers!"
Only a few people who know Tarvek "died". And those that do have not had an opportunity to get a message out about it. And none of them would WANT to get a message out about it. So that leaves with the people that said Tarvek was dead lied, honestly thought he was dead, or ar the ones that infected him in the first place and expected him to die. I suspect the last one in large part due the the timing.

Gil may have had a reason to tell it to someone. He didn't have much chance though, unless he told the Baron for some reason, who in turn told it to the knights to lure them out to the battlefield.

Moloch seems annoyed in panel 4, a nice touch.

Well sure. Being called "lackey" is just plain insulting for a head minion

Re: Girl Genius XIII: "Gott's Leedle Feesh in Trousers!"
The most practical thing to do would be to knock him out and tie him up until the battle is over. Then interrogate him for everything he knows about the Knights of Jove and their connection to the Other.

Re: Girl Genius XIII: "Gott's Leedle Feesh in Trousers!"
I get the feeling the new guy is filling Tarvek's old shoes (back when he was an antagonist, not the annoying side of the love triangle). If the original script called for "the storm king" to come defend Agatha at this point in the story, now that Tarvek has taken a level in protagonist, the Foglios may have just taken the easy path of producing another member of the family to take over Tarvek's old duties.

Re: Girl Genius XIII: "Gott's Leedle Feesh in Trousers!"
I don't think Tarkek's "original script" called for any such thing, with or without the existence of Agatha. It might have been the Pinky and the KoJ's, but Tarvek made little doubt he thought it was a stupid plan. (His was much better.)
The new 'Storm King' in that scenario is destined to be no more then a puppet, and Tarvek is/was smart enough to know it. Tweedle? Not so much.Last edited by ChowGuy; 2012-11-05 at 05:58 PM.

He really IS the best minion ever. It's amazing how much more competent he's become since the first pages.

Moloch was always my favorite character. At least since he appeared in the Castle. Before that he was a jerkass.

Re: Girl Genius XIII: "Gott's Leedle Feesh in Trousers!"
Yeah. Its because he is the underdog and we actually KNOW what he can do.
So when he succeeds it feels like he genuinely earned it.
Its a bit problematic to be invested when at any point in time agata can whip out a gigantic doom lazer and wipe the whole army off the map.

Re: Girl Genius XIII: "Gott's Leedle Feesh in Trousers!"
See, this is why Agatha is gonna win. She's got the best minion. Boris is a really good minion, but he's starting to have some doubts. At some point, I suspect, he'll figure out what's going on and switch from supporting the Baron to supporting Gil, at which point Agatha will have two awesome minions on her side, plus the comic's equivalent of James Bond (wherever he's scarpered off to). At that point the Baron will have no chance.

Re: Girl Genius XIII: "Gott's Leedle Feesh in Trousers!"
Yeah, but agatha ISNT by herself. She has her own army of jaegers and minions. So she can obliterate a large portion of the barons forces with some improvised death ray and not be swarmed under by the remnants as its recharging or whatever. Also, what the hell? The sister is a knights of jove plant?

Re: Girl Genius XIII: "Gott's Leedle Feesh in Trousers!"
Interesting developments in the last couple of pages.
From the story "Maxim Buys a Hat", we know that the Prince of Sturmhalten and the Good Heterodyne were friendly enough to make at least one bet with each other. If the Princes of Sturmhalten have usually had good relations with The Heterodyne, the Abbess may well have been consulted for approval by the Knights of Jove for approval of their plan to unite a "fake" Storm King with a "fake" Heterodyne.
It would seem that neither Tweedle nor the Abbess have ever met Zola and are under the impression that Agatha is Zola. To paraphrase Wooster "imagine their surprise."

Re: Girl Genius XIII: "Gott's Leedle Feesh in Trousers!"
Then we need an anti-anti-missile-missile-missile. Oh, wait, that was Rocky and Bullwinkle.
But the death ray she built in the Castle was powered by the Hetrodyne lamp, eventually which ran out. That's pretty much always the problem when fighting off an besieging army - you tend to run out of ammunition before you run out of army. The Baron has depth and supply lines on his side. Agatha doesn't.ChowGuy - The LaChoy Dragon - Servant of the Tiger and disciple of the Wanderer
