The only thing I was ever exposed to was the film from ages ago, but when you commented about the similarities a few comments ago, I looked into it to learn more and yeah, there were a ton of similarities between what I had originally written for the story and what was written for the Swamp Thing character a long time ago. So I changed things up to make it somewhat different. Originally Perfuma was not meant to basically be Moss Man. Moss Man was going to originally be controlled by Eternia itself, who was going to be the giant Procrustus or however the name is spelled.<br /><br />And Octavia is known for having knives. In the episodes she appeared, she'd always have a tentacle holding a knife or maybe a dagger before she'd attack She-Ra and Sea Hawk. <br /><br />I believe there were some other episodes where good and bad sort of teamed up. I know Skeletor sort of helped the side of good in the Christmas special. And I also believe there was a POP episode where She-Ra and Hordak sort of called a brief truce as well as an episode where She-Ra and Catra worked together too. But I may need to ouble check on that. I tend to recall things incorrectly sometimes. lolMichael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-19937001309699148732013-03-16T04:37:47.689-05:002013-03-16T04:37:47.689-05:00You should really get into Swamp Thing. Or at leas...You should really get into Swamp Thing. Or at least start with the new 52 version. A lot of similar elements to your Moss Man mythos. <br /> Speaking of comics-is that DC He-Man comic out yet? I will just look it up myself but I wondered if you've seen it yet.<br /> Are there other people like Merman on Eternia? Or did they get exterminated by the Etherian merpeople? Maybe this will lead to Merman and Mermista getting it on! (I doubt it, but it's a thought.) <br /> And you mentioned Ocatavia's "trademark knives" in the story-she is known for having knives? Is that from the episodes she was in or the new figure? <br />Also, which episodes were the ones of motu and pop with bad and good guys teaming up? I really only remember "Evil Seed"Nick Moosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-28017244052916706392013-03-16T01:00:55.660-05:002013-03-16T01:00:55.660-05:00Moss Man is dead. When he died pieces of him melde...Moss Man is dead. When he died pieces of him melded into the ground while other pieces were scattered across Eternia. And on a molecular level things like his memories and such became a part of the environment, and Perfuma picked up on that and with her powers over flowers and plants, she was able to recreate him and control him like a puppet so to speak. She became a part of him, like he was with her. But there still may be more to the story...<br /><br />And the Serpos bit was a bit poetic and a bit literal. I do like the idea of a giant snake just devouring everything and in its waste is something all new and terrible. Like I was thinking of Snake Man's level in Mega Man 3, where everything is like a snake. That was sort of the inspiration for that.<br /><br />And I love love love bad guys having to team up with unlikely people. It was one of the best parts about the He-Man and She-Ra cartoons, and I love having characters in those types of situations.<br /><br />The piece with Mer Man and how the Mer-People from Etheria arrived and sort of took over was intentional. I wanted it to be like most tales in history where you have one group who is uprooted from their homes, and they arrive in a space that is already occupied, and then problems happen and before you know it there are things that can come back to bite you in the future. But, there is a lot of fun to be had with the Mer Man and Mermista underwater war! I really hope it will be good.Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-43887488233026026162013-03-16T00:20:17.311-05:002013-03-16T00:20:17.311-05:00So does this mean Moss Man is really dead or is th...So does this mean Moss Man is really dead or is there some possibility that some part of his soul could still exist? Is there any hope for Perfuma and him? Or is that the end of that part of the story? <br /> I have another question too-is Serops literally going to eat everything and then crap out a new universe? If so, that is definitely something you must have added to the mythology. Although that would have made an awesome action figure-it could eat a figure and crap out some different mutated figure! Or, were you just being poetic? I believe even in Beowulf there is a passage about the hero contemplating becoming Grendel's crap-and that story is so old it's more of a parchment than a book!<br /> I like this ragtag group of villains and heroes working together thing too with TraapJaaw and Stinkor-my favorite thing in all of fiction is when you have a bad guy, then another bigger bad guy comes around and then the previous bad guy becomes a good guy by default! It happened constantly in Dragonball z-that was the best part of that show.<br /> Also I think Merman may be a dick in the way he is going about things, but it really seems as if his actions have some justification. You basically made his plight the same as that of the American Indians. He was there first and then civilized white people (albeit with fish tales in this case) ousted him from his place. It is an interesting parallel. Was it intentional? Nick Moosenoreply@blogger.com
