History WMG / ReaperMan

[[WMG: Azrael is actually Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann.]]
A being so vast that nebulae are merely the glint in his eye? Yeah, that sounds like a ten million light year tall super robot to me. Basically, after the end of the events of Gurren Lagann, the residual badass left over from the battle with the Anti-spiral was so powerful that the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann became self aware and integrated itself into the very fabric of reality.
* Alternatively, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann was Azrael's physical form, which the main characters were able to summon to their universe and command through the sheer power of their own badassery.

They believe organic life needs to be destroyed, and Spiral Energy plays into the whole power of belief thing.
* And at some point someone will find and use the [[HumongousMecha fifty-foot-high killer golems]] mentioned in ''Making Money'' against them. Yes, the golems exist. Ms. Dearheart just isn't digging deep enough.
** Does this mean that Vimes will play Kamina? Because that would be ----ing awesome.
*** Actually I would think that Vimes might be Kamina's father, leaving his family because he doesn't want to burden them with his imminent death perhaps. Or, more fitting still, Carrot's son. A man people follow even if they're not sure why? A man who exhorts you, not to believe in yourself, but to believe in him, because he believes in you? That's so completely Carrot's whole being that I almost think that Carrot somehow manages to be in both universes simultaneously.

** Nope. On a reread it turned out the 'humorous apple juice' was brandy. (This troper - the same one who started this WMG - is hideously ignorant on alcoholic beverages.)

First off, Terry Pratchett is a very big fan of Main/TheyMightBeGiants. Then there's the similar titles and the fact that the book was released in 1991, one year after the song. But, there's a lot more, and nearly ''every line in the song'' is referenced. '''Warning: Contains lots of spoilers.'''

* Except Windle wasn't particularly "great", just rather determined to get a life (to the limited extent a zombie can) after spending most of his ''actual'' life sitting in a wheelchair. He and Tiffany don't really have any personality traits in common, and Poons is much more of a comedy character. More likely, Windle might have come back as one of the other trainee witches Tiffany knows ... possibly even Annagramma, as Windle was fairly bossy and self-centered pre-mortem, and Annagramma ''does'' have a remarkable knack for "wizard magic with a dress on".

He doesn't know Miss Flitworth well enough (yet) to react so strongly to her mortality, and there was more than one lifetimer on the desk, suggesting that it was Ysabell's and Mort's pending and simultaneous deaths that his psyche was processing. It's probably Ysabell's, not Mort's, because Mort and Death didn't part on such good terms, so Death wouldn't regret his ex-apprentice's demise as much as his adopted daughter's. Plus, conversing with Miss Flitworth had reminded him of Ysabell, whom he had enough understanding of mortality as Bill Door to grieve for.

* Even more obviously, Humanity as a whole (and Windle Poons in particular) is Person Man. He doesn't get hit on the head by a frying pan, but he's has lived his whole life in Ankh-Morpork, which many would be willing to describe as a garbage can. As well, there's is a lot of questioning whether or not Windle Poons is depressed or if he's a mess, and does he feel totally worthless. And the big question about the book is how he got into that state, or, "Who came up with Person Man?"
