The World's Worst Secret Agent is also bad at dying when he should, who'da thunk it?

We're looking right at him and his eyes are still hidden. Unless that's what they look like?

I was going to suggest that they're just being shadowed by the ball of fire...then I realized that I don't think I've seen him without glasses before.

Holy shit, this might be the first time Verres will actually show us his eyes.

I suspect that, if he is conscious, that Mr. Verres acted so swiftly because he really doesn't like to see Uryuom threatened.

Damn, if only this was colored! Is this the first time we ever see Edward's eyes!?

Also, does it look like they're different shades of color?

[up] Technically we didn't know-know it, but that was implied to be the reason uryuoms lost access to magic.

No, we knew Uryoms tried to use magic to conquer this world.

It makes sense that in the parallel, magical world, they tried it using technology instead.

This is just raising the question of how exactly Dan and/or the flipside culture is defining "technology" here, cause like. Technology doesn't mean electronics. Lightbulbs, books, farming, those are all technology.

Two thousand years ago the Romans destroyed Carthage and salted the earth. I'm still suspicious when an Italian takes the salt shaker.

Racist Angry Bird is Worst Bird.

Little convenient that 2/3 of the birds present are radical free-thinkers skeptical of conventional wisdom and recorded history. This particular bout of exposition feels like shotgunning a plot synopsis for an entire political intrigue novel directly at the audience, using characters as mouthpieces.

...I honestly don't even remember why we were meeting the griffins in the first place.

If I remember right, the original reason the meeting was that the griffins had some information to share about how to get rid of the excess energy. Then events happened that the group thought the griffins should know. I think that is how it went.

Racist Angry Bird is Worst Bird.

I'm starting to wonder why this guy was allowed to come along on what's essentially a delicate international summit.

What, is he like the griffin prime minister's nephew in law or something?
