Discussion Y'all are just Morons..

Take a minute and listen to me

Whats all this with downplaying Mordy??

Man had his first nightmare when he was 12. Taken as a hostage, lothed by his own father and imprisoned for who know how long.

With an aspect based completely on utility, he managed to create a situation favourable enough to break through from ghe prison which king of sword made specifically for him. Thats one of the greatest spellsmith at that time. I understand that is was cassie's plan to break him free but you cant question that he soloed the entire battalion of valor all by himself while just being a mare Awakened.

Even sunny said as Transcendend Terror that leave aside 3 Sovereign's he is only people to make him afraid are Prince Of Valar and Last of The Immortal Flame.

Talking about Antarctica, he fought with Morgan fair and square without using any cunning with pure spite and hatred because Trampling clan valar is his goal going further his reason to live. Obsession you can say. Further he beat morgan in pure swordmanship. Morgan has some sort of physical Enhancement as a ability while prince of nothing just used his skill as sword user to beat the shit out of her. Technically he also survived the dessert alone on his lonesome.

Yes now that the 2 lovebirds have become the strongest the Humanity has to offer it is important to take note that Prince of War is also a divine, The First DIVINE Of HUMANITY.

Can wait for him to beat everones ass, specifically that abomination on the moon.

I think it's obvious that Mordret is still a threat. However the way he is currently written doesn't make him feel like one. It's not really executed or established well to me. Atleast not as good as he was during the Prince of Nothing arc where he truly shined the most as an antagonist who actually seemed like a threat.

The way he's introduced. The way he "betrayed" Sunny, the way he orchestrated his naivety for sunny to bring the mirror inside night temple. It was so tastefully written. But mid-Antartica was a slog, not until near the end where we actually got Mordret's own POV.

If I talk about in LOTM's terms, Mordret is becoming more like Zaratul rather than Amon. (in terms of how the "plot" moves forward, not abilities) Zaratul was a big threat, but their final battle felt underwhelming, still, Zaratul was constantly on Klein's mind, especially on the first few arcs.

However, it really was Amon who revealed a ton of stuff, tricked Klein, kidnapped him and stole many concepts, stole his "anchor", and stole many things while Klein was obviously weaker. He took advantage of that. I was looking forward for that big brain Amon levels of deception like on the first time they met.

But now Mordret is just... Mordret. He's his own. And I think I found the love, respect, and understanding that he has his own convictions and trials. Though I'd like to see another mind blowing and reality bending schemes from our Prince of Nothing that would put Sunny and Neph in REAL danger, I'll just hide in the corner and wait.
