The planet has not exploded so that is a good sign.

If Suzocon and Taran took one another out, then I'd call that a win for everyone.

Probably more like the two rams from Brother Bear. They're still wheezing, "Rat-tails!" and "second best quetz" as they throw sparklers at each other out of exhausted desperation.

Root for injuries.

You know, got to feel sad for Sadia. As in the end sure thunder bro is a bit of a dick. But he is still her brother. and one i would argue, they are quite close to one and another. Sadia is just not willing to talk about it. But you can tell from her posture that she is Very very concerned.

Further more, just to add fuel to this theory. Thunder bro was able to tell just by how Brand spoke. That he was not his sister. Think about it, if he was a neglectful brother that didn't care about his sister. Why would he care enough to learn her mannerisms. No i think even thou sadia wont admit it. Those two are actual quite close. Just like a lot of things thou, she is to shy to admit when something is bothering her. Even when it comes to talking with brand or Roko. As clearly this is bothering her.

Her brother is a bit more than just a dick. Murdering a innocent Ave just to make a point is not JUST a dick move. But he absolutely does have a soft spot for Saida as his little sister.

Hard not to. Saida is a total sweetheart.

To be fair, we don't really know anything about him. We don't know why he is acting as the hammer for the queltz. We don't know why he has such a disregard for the birds. Nor do we know why he is doing what he is doing. So best not to judge him to badly when comparably to other beings we seen. He is not actual that terrible. Hell we saw in one of the early comics, Volcano dragons captured Sadia and were trying to Torture her. This isn't even talking about the other powerful beings we seen. As for how bright and colorful this world can be. It is actual Insanely dark.

Speaking of sadia, bit of a thought on her. As she is in all honesty putting on a bit of an act hear. Due to being the Queens daughter, she knew about everything wrong with Queltz society. Hell she even knew about the eye, as well as knew how to operate it. Chances are she knows the queens plan to use the orb to become the Uber god or whatever. But clearly she is not willing to talk about it even to brand. She might seem sweet but she is hiding a lot of dark secrets that she refuses to tell the party.

Well, we can look back at page 66, where Taras happily ashes an Ave into dust for talking back to him.  And by talking back, he means 'saying anything in his presence.'  While calling them worthless servant-birds.

The only thing to know for certain is that whenever there's brutal, powerful people enslaving the innocent, there's people on the internet ready to jump to defend them.

The tao of Fred Rogers has the right of it.  Look for the helpers.  Saida knows this is wrong and needs to change.  Taras doesn't.  And it's immediately following a plot where Saida saved the lives of her companions, at risk to her own life.

For some people, deciding that authouritarianism is wrong is unacceptable.  Not following orders?  You're an unforgivable traitor.  I think that's the crime that Saida has committed here.  Deciding to break away from them and to follow a better path.

Ok, first of all, try to cool it with the Rhetoric. Hell the entire point i was trying to make was the fact that as a person. We really know nothing about him. We don't know why he did what he did. We don't know his true goals. As right now your just judging him by the cover.

Further more, as lets take an example of the birds. Why dose he hate the birds so badly? Well maybe it was because their the reasons Sadia Got kidnapped to begin with? For all we know he holds a grudge against the bird servants for that. And what would cause such a thing? Well take a look at panel 11, where Sadia is captured by volcano dragons. I wonder how that could have happened? What if the birds did something stupid and got her captured. And her Angry thunder god brother decided to hold a grudge over her sister getting Tormented to death..

See, this is why i say we don't know much about him. Because in the end, outside of Being powerful, Caring a lot about his sister and being in this whole Eye plot. We really don't know that much about him. As sure he could be a horrible monster. Or could just be an overprotective brother who is still angry about His sister getting captured and nearly murdered by volcano dragons.

Side note, I would not trust anything the Trailed rat said. As sure they could be trying to unite the eyes and become Uber gods. Or maybe he could have been lying to them. Considering what he did with Roko, and that he is a 8 tailed fox. I would not really trust him as a good source of information. If anything he has more to gain by lying to them to get whatever he could have wanted out of them.

Ps, i still think sadia cares about her brother. But is unwilling to admit it as she knows it would upset brand. As in the first panels he was introduced. Kinda seems like he actually really cares about her. willing to fly her around and what not. We really don't know their relationship that well. as Sadia, like is said before. She likes to hide things she doesn't want to talk about.

I'd be a lot more sympathetic towards Taras should he stop killing people casually while saying how they don't count as people.

Some things are complicated.  Some things are not.  And I don't have to waste my time saying how they must be doing <long list of horrible things> for a good reason.

Sometimes when you stop doing horrible things to people, it turns out there was no good reason for it in the first place.

To be Fair almost Every Single creature we seen are horrible monsters. This is just the world of Rain burn. Now dose that Justify what they did? No, but that isn't really the point. Point is that this world, for as colorful and goofy as it is. Is actual insanely dark. Hell Roko IS an undead creature that feeds on the souls of creatures. Brand is more then willing to Burn creatures to death if they annoy them. Page 114 if your wondering what i am referencing. As he was More then willing to Burn to death the Dew ferries for waking him up. This isn't even talking about Sadia and all her secrets she is hiding.

Like not trying to justify what they are doing. Just pointing out that in the end this is a dark world. So best not to be that judgmental. As even our main cast of heroes are willing to do horrible things on a whim.
