Thinking of how hilarious it would be if the Speed Force, the very concept of speed, was actually an Ancient. All those scientifically minded Flashes that stick their noses up at the concept of magic and ghostly stuff are all directly drawing their power from one of the oldest ghosts in existence.
Imagine Ghost King Danny meeting the JL for the first time and he can feel the Ancient’s power on several League members. He thinks “ Oh sweet! People that will understand having ghost powers!”
Nope!
The people he feels the Ancient’s powers on are the Flash family and they don’t believe anything he says.
Danny is at first taken aback but then finds it hilarious that these guys don’t believe in the very being that is giving them powers. So, being the little gremlin that he is, Danny goes to the Speed Force and asks the Ancient if they want to mess with these non-believers.
The Speed Force agrees because Ghosts gotta stick together and it is objectively hilarious being the patron of non-believers.
So the Speed Force slowly cuts the Flash family and all speedsters off causing them all to freak out. This is when Danny shows up, acting all sad and saying that one of his ghost friends has begun to fade away because the people that once gave them strength through belief have recently stopped believing, painting the Speed Force as a Tinker Bell like entity.
This causes the Flash family to fall into what is effectively a crisis of faith as they begin to think that maybe the Speed Force is a ghostly entity and maybe this is their own fault.
Meanwhile Danny and the Speed Force are just laughing together in the Realms because messing with the living is always fun
I need a crow to my wolf. I need a raven to follow closely behind me as a companion. Who will caw and croak me lullabies after a long day's hunt and when both our bellies are full. Someone be my crow pls.
So I imagine that this wasn't done intentionally but I love the basic visual symbolism at the start vs the end of the Makeb expansion that the Wrath and Marr have. Also love the little arc that you can go through regarding your relationship with Marr.
When Marr first contacts you, he very clearly doesn't trust you and wants to see just how reasonable you may be when the interests of the Empire are at stake.
"If you are content to stand unchallenged, then so be it. But I would test your strength for the Empire's survival."
You are also seated while he is looking down on you and issuing his challenge. But then come the end you are both upright and even in some scenes eye level with each other, showing the the Wrath has taken a stand and chosen to do so alongside the Dark Councilor.
"Too many Sith, my old Master among them, have vied for power against the interests of the Empire. Too many Moffs have tolerated incompetence. The Empire must change and if we must stand on the precipice of death to do so, so be it."
"We stand as one."
IDK I just really enjoyed the progression from tentative allies that very clearly are not on the same page to standing together as one, determined to defend their people and civilization from all threats even if it means saving the Empire from itself.
If ravens can speak why do they just commonly say "caw"
"Caw" is not a lie, nor a word of malice or contempt, nor is it pretentious or hurtful. By contrast, humans speak with a vocabulary of tens of thousands of words and look what we use them for.
Ravens only say "Caw" because they're wiser and kinder than we are.
