21	On the mind of a Looper who had experienced Loops going on into six figures at the least, it was Tuesday.\
22	Mentally speaking, the new memories and thought patterns were only a buzzing fly annoying someone who was already plenty cheesed off. To extend the metaphor, Twilight took only a minute to pull the wings off the fly (sort through valuable memories and skills) and then crush it stone cold dead.\
23	[...]\
24	"You... you... you are not the Lady," the priestess choked out.\
25	"No. I'm much worse," Twilight said. "I just took your lady two falls out of three in my head. I know everything she does and so much more besides you can't comprehend it. You think you follow a goddess..." Twilight rose into the air, hands surrounded by her violet magical aura, as sparks flew from the imprinting machine around her.

31	->He could not blame them for such an expression. What did they see in him, he wondered? A [[KnightInShiningArmor saviour]]? Surely not.
32
33	->A monster unleashed upon the other monsters? That was closer to [[IAmAMonster what he saw in himself]]. The Good Hunter [[SwipeYourBladeOff swung his blade down, flicking the blood off]].

I had my arms around his neck and was trying to drag him forward when I heard something thunder overhead. A red dragon was roaring out of Myth Drannor, wings beating furiously, its face wrenched in stark terror! I didn't wait to see what was chasing it.''

114	-> [[RobotBuddy Omnibus,]] pirates and gangsters and other "outlaws" are nothing but arrogant children. They think that the rules are just there to spoil their fun, and that only wimps and losers live by them. And so they figure that being an outlaw makes them the biggest, baddest predators in the universe. '''They're dead wrong.''' What it makes them is rightful prey. Of the civilization they spurned, and of the things their civilization protected them from without their ever knowing. There are powers and principalities out there that pick their teeth with the bones of "big, bad outlaws" that wander out past the fence. Our three eyed buccaneers just learned that their worst nightmare is true: The bars on the cage aren't there to protect the tiger... and the tiger isn't them.

121	->''There was tons of shots of disasters and people running and human characters, and more of that in a second. But the centerpiece of the footage was a sequence where a [[{{Kaiju}} big monster]] is attacking an airport, shredding airplanes and trashing buildings. It looks sort of like the ''Film/{{Cloverfield}}'' monster with a [[BigCreepyCrawlies more of a beetle-like carapace and spindly insect legs]]. It looks massive and powerful.''\
122	''Yesterday, director Creator/GarethEdwards told us there would be other creatures in the film — and here's our first sight of one. It looks scary and huge.''\
123	''And then Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'s foot comes down next to the creature. Godzilla's [[GiantFootOfStomping FOOT]]. Which is dwarfing this poor spindly little creature.''\
124	''And then there's a massive hero shot of this previously big-looking creature looming over the airport, and then Godzilla rises up behind it, and it's like a skyscraper next to a hut. Godzilla is this ginormous dark scaly beast with a gaping maw and a mighty screaming roar, and the crowd basically lost its shit. Host Chris Hardwick made a joke about people having to change their pants, and this seemed totally accurate.''
