Chapter 102: Chapter 100: Screams herald in the dawn of a new era

I hate heroes.

I know that historically, it’s not a popular opinion, but I just can’t stand them, Guy. Pompous assholes. You know what the problem with heroes is?

They’re always too late.

Someone can only be a hero if there’s an act of heroism involved, that’s sort of the whole title, you know? That means a problem, a disaster, has to already be in play and perhaps even have mostly resolved itself before a hero can show up and ‘save’ everybody. Can’t do no saving without a threat to save everyone from, and that threat needs time to bubble and boil the souls straight of people’s cores before it is even serious even to warrant a hero, tell you what.

And then?

Then, after the damage is done and countless eyes have been lost to the screaming darkness, then the hero can come up in his big fancy, shiny armor and his cape, that would honestly look better on me, and save the day, get the girl, and be famous and loved by everybody.

Fuck heroes.

I’d respect them more if they came earlier. Be a hero before the crisis gets here and stop it. Don’t just show up when everything is already janked.

But that’s just my opinion, Guy. Don’t listen to me. I’m weird.
