Talk:Elegant Chaos Part 1: All Our Parlous Yesterdays

Lousy

I don't think "lousy" is the best word to use in the note about Roller and Tarn.

According to Google it can be used as a synonym for "teeming" but only if the thing there is a lot of is regarded as undesirable (this is an extention of its original meaning, infested with lice). The other meanings of "lousy" are probably better known (I've never seen it in this context).

"Teeming" is only one possible replacement but it only has one meaning, the right one for the context.

I read "Lousy" in this context to mean "so full of something it's obnoxiously apparent." Aka, hitting you over the head with something. That's a connotation that "lousy" provides which "teeming" does not communicate. And it's wonderful that you haven't heard it used in this context, but the original writer and myself obviously have. I hear it used all the time, and use it myself. It's a wonderful turn of phrase. Removing it because you personally haven't heard it before feels to me like dumbing down our vocabulary. --ItsWalky (talk) 20:39, 17 December 2014 (EST)

Fair enough then. Maybe it's a regional thing. omegatron (talk) 04:48, 18 December 2014 (EST)

Continuity Error

Yo fellas!

This issue states that Pax and company were outlaws during Sentinels regin buuuuut in Megatron Orgin you can see Pax among other Sentinel troops attending fastback and bumpers funeral! I thinks logical to note this! Hyruk (talk) 05:12, 18 December 2014 (EST)

We also see Chromia, Elita One, and a white Optimus cab who is not Minimus Ambus in that shot. Pretty sure that funeral's easter-egg-filled attendance has been discarded loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong before this issue. --ItsWalky (talk) 08:32, 18 December 2014 (EST)

I'd say it's still worth noting given this issue directly references Megatron Origin. --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 11:30, 19 December 2014 (EST)

"Roller is probably Tarn" list formatting

Would it be alright if I turned that big list of foreshadowing into a bulleted list, instead of just one massive 8-line block of text? It'd be a lot easier on the eyes.

Orion Pax, Autobot?

Hm, I just moved Orion over to the Autobots column to match how we treated him in Shadowplay, because it's after Chaos Theory, which is where he made his big "I'm an Autobot" speech. Except immediately after I did that I remembered this is the issue where Rodimus says "We're Autobots, just like you... aren't. Yet." and Pax doesn't seem to want to correct him. A mistake on Rodimus's part? Or Roberts's? Maybe worth a note at least? --Emvee (talk) 07:08, 19 August 2015 (EDT)
