We Now Know What/Who Mac Is

--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on September 16, 2020, 08:28:29 PM ---Obviously Murphy is immediately killed by the giant she just killed with the rocket launcher falling on her. Her last words “totally worth it”.
You don’t think Jim wouldn’t miraculously heal Murphy only to immediately kill her off? That way Jim gets to annoy both the Murphyphiles AND the Murphyphobes in the space of a couple of chapters, AND totally put Harry through the wringer.

Why not? It isn't like he hasn't pissed off fans in the past. Also there is more than one giant out there, they have already met up with a giant squid. And you assume she killed the giant, what if she missed or merely wounded it. What if shortly after she is swarmed by turtle necks?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Mine is funnier. It plays into Murphy’s need to take down the big guys to make up for her lack of height, she takes down the biggest yet, since the footprint on the beach something like this has been telegraphed.
Murphy miss? Since when? and a target literally as large as a barn door?
pshah,
Mind you, love to see Brioche’s face the next day on the autopsy of a non human giant. If there is any justice Brioche ends up in the funny farm in the aftermath and Butters gets his job.

--- Quote from: Mira on September 16, 2020, 08:16:33 PM ---I don't buy that Michael and Charity are so narrow minded that Murphy wouldn't be welcome as an over night guest on Christmas Eve give how her and Harry feel about one another.
--- End quote ---
They still have their own children at home. Matthew is 21-22; Alicia about 19; Hope 14 or 15; Amanda 13 1/2; Hank 12 1/2. I don't know how susceptible to that kind of mixed messaging Matthew and Alicia would be, but I doubt Michael and Charity would be want to send that kind of message to the younger ones. Michael was uncomfortable with Harry's relationship with Susan.
Additionally, they might have a full house already with all the kids back for Christmas. Especially if any of the older kids have gotten married. It'd make sense for Harry to be there if he hadn't found a new place to live yet, but not really for Murphy to not just come over in the morning. Before my grandmother passed, our family had gotten to the size that some of us stayed with my uncle because there just wasn't enough room for us all to stay at my grandmother's when all her kids visited. And we could fit nine of us at my grandmother's. While the Carpenters are not dealing with grandchildren yet, they did get a head start on the numbers.

There are so many characters that it would be nice to see get their comeuppance.

--- Quote from: Helga Ozark on September 16, 2020, 10:11:38 AM ---Would "fallen" be the right term? The fallen in DF are bound to coins and still have angelic power whereas Mac is mortal (I think there's a WOJ about it somewhere). He's clearly taken a different path compared to the denarians. Something more like the German movie "Wings of Desire" ie angel decides to become human.
--- End quote ---
There are many more Fallen than the 30 bound to the coins, it's just against the rules for them to do much of anything. Harry was surprised what the 30 could do through their mortal partner / slave when Michael explained the Denarians.
And the WOJ about Mac wasn't that he's mortal - the way he healed as soon as Mab took the bullet out of him in CD confirms that he's not. It was that he hasn't done anything a mortal couldn't. He's retired, not mortal.

If Murphy was coming over in the morning Harry wouldn't have been so depressed. Also it is a large house, at least two of the kids have left home.. Even if all the bedrooms are full, there still is Charity's sewing room where they used to put Harry when he was injured, the floor, or a sofa.

As Sharkface told him, "you chose your path long ago." Now that could mean a lot of things, I don't think watcher angels can just retire, but they can "sin" which would force their retirement, even if it wasn't a full Monty fall like Satan or the Denarians.
