Grrl Power #1504 - Let's meet our contestants (Patreon)

Thank you so much for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

It is a little rich for Sydney to be complaining about insipidity. Though I think that Gail and Bluce's banter might quality more as banality. It's the kind of pablum you'd hear in the back and forth during a Thanksgiving day parade. It's splitting hairs. Sydney just really dislikes this particular brand of low effort, forced enthusiasm, where you can see the announcers die a little inside as they lob out each network approved humor nugget. 

I had considered making Centurus a finalist, but the idea of drawing a hundred meter long flying AC-13o centipede with six-hundred guns was just not realistic. If I could have built it in Blender... after learning how to use Blender... then yeah, that would have been cool. But it's honestly outside of my skillset. Or really, outside of my allotted production schedule. It would take me a very long time to draw a close-up panel with, let's say 6 miniguns, cannons, and whatever the medium sized guns are, all connected to a mecha bug thing. I'd like to think it'd take most people a long time to draw that, but some artists really excel at fiddly, technical drawings. I assume those people are bad at drawing mountains, or dogs, or something else to balance things out. 

I have to say, I would have liked to see what that anthro kangaroo boxer could do that carried him all the way to the semi-finals. I mean, imagine that he had to fight someone like Mt. Atrocitous or that Kill-7 mecha. But that's for a different timeline. 

The burning question I know you all have is, are Atheons all demi-gods? Well, first you have to define lower-case-g "god," and that's more complex than it seems at first glance. Dabbler will probably have a discussion about that with Sydney at some point. She claims to have killed "gods" plural. She counts one dude that was mid-ascension, I think she mentioned that in comic early on? But she still counts it. So yes, by some definitions, Atheons are all demi-gods. Certainly by their own definition they are.
