Jack was still grinning. “What would you do to people like me, then? Let’s say you got powers. Would you right wrongs, lecture schoolchildren on doing what’s right, and see bad guys like me carted off to the Birdcage?”

“People like you? I’d kill. Sir.”

Fun fact: Theo is crying in both of these scenes, it’s just covered by the mask.

I feel like Golem is one of the more underrated characters of Worm (at least if fanfics are anything to go by), probably because his part in it comes pretty late in the story. Kid with no powers managed to work up the courage to say he’d kill Jack to his face, and in doing so accidentally tied himself to Dinah’s end of the world prophecy. And through 2 years of hard work and grueling training, he got pretty close to being the hero he wanted and needed to be. He may have failed to defeat Jack on his own, but that was never in the cards from both an in universe and meta perspective. One of the few outright good guys in the series, coming pretty far from his upbringing.

What did you think of the first phase of the WCU?

Hmmm, you know what. I'm reviewing it.

First of all Dragon from 2008, the movie that started it all.

I liked:

●Seeing her origin, how newfoundland fell and her sheer sense of powerlessness before triggering.

●The evolution from her first crude suit to a more regined dragon armor.

●I liked RDJ as Collin, i was very happed they picked up his stinger for the sequel.

●Teacher was a pretty good villain, hapoy they didn't kill him off.

What i didn't like:

●Gwynnet Paltrow's character was unnecesary, why would dragon need a secretary???

●It doesn't get how to make you feel stakes when the protag is an IA

●Terrence Howard as Rennick is just there, and how they changed the actor in the next film left a sour taste.

7/10

Then you have Lung: Dragon of Kyushu.

What can i say that hasn't been said yet? I was skeptic for them reimagining Lung as a hero but it just works.

I like how it set up Leviathan as the overarching villain of the phase, i like how it has that runaway vibe with Kenta running from the Yangban.

The CGI of his fight against Seven was pasable, and the post credit scene with Zero planning to hunt him down went nowhere. But idc, it was overall pretty good. 9/10

I would have killed for another Lung movie.

The ugly duckling of Phase 1, Dragon 2.

I honestly liked it more than the first one, Saint and the dragon slayers are an actual threat that works.

Dragons own issues with her nature are explored in a neat way.

I liked the teacher plot twist at the end, that he had been manipulating saint.

And please tell me the scene of Dragon and Armsmaster killing the Dragonslayers didn't fuck.

8/10, fun watch.

Theo my beloved. Golem fucked so much man.

A coming of age story about a young man leaving his nazi family behind.

It kind of gets completely interrumpted by the Slaughterhouse nine tbh.

Like i get you are building up a cinematic universe but having some guy show up, say "i will come back on a couple years and kill everybody and thats on you" and fuck off wasn't terribly great.

But the final fight against Hookwolf as a middlepoint between the nazi family subplot and the slaughterhouse 9 subplot worked.

6/10

I don't like flashback movies in big cinematic universes. Sometimes they feel like they don't mean a thing on the long term because most characters are dead so they won't affect that comes later.

Miss Millitia: the first ward shutted me up.

Hanah is a fucking great protagonist, all of the first wards are great.

I loved her bromance with mouse protector, i cried when she died.

What the fuck is Hugo Weaving playing Allfather????

Overall i feel like this is the best out of the Phase.

10/10

It all came to it. Protectorate from 2012.

Leviathan was pretty built up from Lung and Dragon so it felt like it worked. Jack felt pretty tacked on tbh.

I like how it sets up Scion as this cameo total force of good that can't affect the plot. Wonder what they will do with him.

I didn't like that Collin set a fucking nuke towards new york. I hope there are consecuences for this in the future.

Liked how director Armstrong got to assemble the tram through the movies.

I don't know how to feel about Blue Flechette, apparently her first costume in the comics was like that? Idk.

Scarlett Johansen as Queen aka Emily Piggot from the PRT was cool.

Honestly that what Protectorate is. Cool.

Even if that bastard Jack escaped at the end of the movie.

8/10

One of my favorite little Ward moments is when Theo is talking to Rain about how Kaiser tried use him for child marriage/political marriage with Rune, and Cuff cuts in with calling her an ugly nazi motherfucker or something like that.

Cuff can be an absolute menace at times, holy shit.

“Stop talking, Jack.  You’re not that clever, not as sharp as you like to think.  You talked to me about keystones?  Bullshit.  You’re a sad, pathetic killer with delusions of grandeur.”

AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Call him out! Drag him!

[homlvssocialmedia]

Theo Anders aka Golem is so good on retrospective. The name Golem coming from (iirc) Jewish folklore in where a giant man made of clay is made to protect the Jews and has the word "truth" printed on its forehead. this is so cool because of his familial background being born from two key members in empire 88. i like the truth thing and if you subscribe to the idea that he almost knows truths before they are true or confirmed, aster, not really being able to stop jack slash before he wreaks havoc, how to defeat scion.

i love analyzing shit so much.

Doodles! I’m feeling like a soft boiled Coca Cola can at the moment which means it’s time to draw til I feel better.

I made a post a long time ago called “what’s the point of Theo?” about how I thought Theo was boring and how I thought he could be replaced with Sophia.

I’d like to clarify, if you like Theo please tell me why. I really don’t understand his inclusion in the story. It feels so out of place.

His main character trait is that he’s a normal dude despite coming from a family of Nazis. His trauma is based around being uncomfortable with his body but the story didn’t make it feel super important so I don’t know why I’m supposed to care. He didn’t even feel like he had a big reaction to Taylor killing aster. Was it a problem with the timeskip? Genuinely what is his deal suppose to be. Why am I suppose to care about him? Someone please tell me I don’t get it.

The Worm Arcana: VIII. Strength- Golem

“ A two year wait - patience indeed.  To kill a monster, though he has no confidence - courage.  He's a character raised by the hateful who became caring regardless.  His crisis is one of an inability to find power, self-doubt (before and after he has powers) and a lack of training. “

Peacemaker by the mechanisms is a Taylor Vs jack song (or Theo instead of Taylor maybe)

worm is a dnd campaign and theo is a player who joined in late tier 3 so they had to rush to get his backstory hooks resolved b4 they moved to the end of the campaign

[germesthegenie]

Did some doodles of the Chicago Wards spending their time out of costume! Because they are still my favs despite not only Wildbow but the fanfic writers forsaking me on more content of them! So guess I’m filling the void myself!

Jokes aside, wanted to do some practice on character designs and a bit of background/foreground and decided to take the opportunity to do some more drawings of these guys. Designs and stuff are I think like 75% canon compliant and 25% headcanon / personal intepretation of the characters

Head in hands. Theo... i will give you everything i aave...

[got-into-worm-by-mistake]

Theo's the only character who gets more than one Interlude, and he gets three? I mean, one broken up into two pieces, but still.

[reliaofdreams]

fanfic where theo’s power uses his feet so defiant makes him supernaturally sick jordans

"Ah finally, I'm all alone," I said to myself as I walked through the door into my apartment.

"No your not." said Jack Slash
