Plot Holes - Blog Posts

I'm 90% sure that *someone* has found this before but- double life plot hole. Pearl said that Tilly has 3 lives like the players. And Tilly was on yellow during the battle last time I checked. And died during g it so Tilly would be on red. So Scott's, 'tilly death due us part' is partially incorrect *picky picky I know I just noticed it*

Okay big plot hole I notice after ATSV and I need an answer…

So because of into the spiderverse we know that if someone is in the wrong dimension they’ll glitch because they’re autonomy is built for their dimension. So in Spider-Man: no way home why did Tobey or Andrews Spider-Men not glitch? Like do we know yet or not?!!

So, I've seen some panels from the new BSD chapter (I haven't read it yet so I may be jumping the gun) and there's a minor plot hole that's been bothering me.

Dazai says that he made his plan on the assumption Fyodor's ability was based on touch which is why he concocted the whole helicopter crash to kill him. But, my guy, you got an ability that shuts off other abilities. You are immune to any side-effects and Fyodor can't use his ability (known or unknown/consciouslyor unconsciously) with you touching him. If you wanted to guarantee his death just choke a bitch out. You got a body count that would make most serial killers blush and you already planned to kill him. So why was that not Plan A?

I know this can be hand waved away a few different ways; Dazai figured Fyodor would've planned for that, Dazai isn't used to using his ability in an offensive way like that, Chuuya suggested it so Dazai said that wouldn't work just to spite him. It's not a major issue, but I wanted to see what other people think. Does anyone else think that's a plan that could have worked?

As a writer I know why the author didn't go with it and its fine that they didn't. But I still want to hear everyone's thoughts.

Update :3

ok i think we're out of the woods! most major plotholes have been resolved (at least partially.) i am putting the vampires back in their coffins for a later AU

Random LMK thoughts

So, I've been randomly thinking about a particular episode from LMK.

Shadow play

Particularly Mac's story of Wukong seemingly killing him.

And, I can't decide if the story is the truth.

Why you may ask?

Because we only ever really get Mac's side.

While Wukong does seem to have guilt related to Mac, there is one thing he never does. Tell his precise relations and back story with Mac. We only ever hear this story from Mac and Wukong only ever really says he and Mac use to be friends (as indicated in the scroll Brotherhood banquet scene) or rivals.

We only ever hear about Mac's death from the monkey himself initially, and later from Lady Bone Demon. As far as I know even Tang did not know about Mac having any relation to Wukong till he met him the first time. So the Six Eared Marquis must have never been mentioned in their version of the Journy to the West.

But, if the battle had been so major, why was it not a part of the journey's story in their universe?

If I had to guess, 3 major things come to mind for why.

The battle happened in seclusion and even the pilgrim's and gods didn't know what happened, and with Wukong being silent no one wrote about this event.

Something led to all accounts of Wukong and Mac's relations and battle being struck from the record.

The battle was not a major battle or was deemed to personal to Wukong by the group and it was never talked about. Which lead to it never being mentioned in legend.

All 3 are viable reasons, But all 3 put forth a problem of whether Wukong actually killed Mac. Why? Because Wukong's guilt could just be related to him hurting Mac instead of killing him or, just as likely, leaving Mac alone unconscious and unable to defend himself.

And what imagery I can find of Mac's scar (because the man seems to have a constant glamor up) Indicated it was more likely a sword or sharp slash wound than a blunt force skull crunch that did the damage.

And with Mac's story indicating Wokong was using the golden staff or the Ruyi Jingu Bang a slash wound would not make sense.

As such, I would like to say Mac is lying, or at least lying in the sense that he does not know the truth.

I think, Wukong possibly knocked Mac out and left him where he was before continuing the journey. And then, someone else came along and decided to use Mac as a puppet by lying to him. After all, we don't know when Wukong's group dealt with the Lady Bone Demon, so, if it happened after Wukong's battle with Mac and the false Mayor and LBD's spirit could show Mac a false set of events. (which she has been shown to manipulate people mentally). Then she could stage it like Wukong killed Mac and she revived him while leaving a bit of herself in him like she did with the fake mayor.

Another piece that gets me is LBD's use of those chains with a spell.

Other than the ghosts that appear at the beginning of the spell, there is no indication their chains are related to the Diern (the MLK universe's version of the underworld). The chains shown in the story Mac told don't count because we can not verify if it as the truth. Also, The ghosts could purely be related to the LBDs powers when activating the spell. Plus the ghost imagery appears also whenever she is possessing or mentally manipulating someone.

In conclusion, I don't think Wukong killed Mac, I think Mac was fed a lie about what happened and he believed it.

If this is true, then I hope either the season 4 specials or season 5 (if it happens) shows us the truth of what happened that day from Wukong's eyes.

I any case, what you all think?
