#I LOVED the widescale scope that was set up in Mister Impossible

[dykenav]

personally one of my biggest disappointments with greywaren was the lack of discussion about like. The World. like MI had SO much of this energy of like revolution and We Have To Change The World To Survive It and all of that was just like. totally skirted. not to mention the unanswered questions and plotholes like does the world know dreams and dreamers exist now? wtf happened to Ronan and Hennessy being wanted by the FBI? all jokes aside with that it’s kind of disappointing how we just get like one sentence in the epilogue that tells us that they’re traveling the world helping people make sweetmetals where the ley line needs it like I love that for them but how did they come to that conclusion. if the takeaway is supposed to be that the revolution needed to happen in the way they saw themselves and their relationships first then that’s dope but there was nothing to really tie that together with everything we set up in MI

#does this make sense. #greywaren spoilers #greywaren analysis #I know people are saying they think if maggie had written her original idea of it being a smaller scope no apocalypse story it would have #been better but. the thing is #I LOVED the widescale scope that was set up in Mister Impossible #and I would have been okay with that being cleverly subverted for a message about family and self IF the connection was clearly made #which I feel like it wasn’t. #and I feel like the moderators and apocalypse shit could have had a lot more meaning narratively #but I feel like the nathan twist was kind of like ??? #what am I supposed to do with that #I feel like that COULD HAVE slapped harder if we knew more about carmen’s family bc then it could have been like #the foil between how her family created a dreamer who wants to destroy the world vs ronans family creating a dreamer who wants to save it #is that the correct usage of foil idk #but yeah nathan was just such an inconsequential character like if ronan had been forced to see him and compare #his own destructive tendencies to nathan’s that would have been interesting. #or if there was at least a little more emphasis placed on nathan and carmen’s relationship so the reader could compare it to the lynchs #like i feel like she Tried to do that a bit but it wasn’t strong enough #anyway saying all this AS someone who is for the most part a greywaren understander. I respect the decisions she made but I wanted more #greywaren #tdt #the dreamer trilogy #mister impossible
