Started working on this a while ago but now I want to pick it back up again
This is the WIP of the recap so far, I hope to lock in and finish the rest eventually
Thought has been percolating in my mind. Lung as a hero. Living embodiment of the Godzilla threshold. Banned from end-bringer battles and the one time he let loose caused the sinking of Kyushu. All villain activity in his city is forced to go non-violent or very fast as once lung arrives then he has won.
And you can totally see the exact point of divergence where it would have happened too:
Lung's interlude is one of my favorites in the book. There's a lot of dots about his one-note "boss monster" characterization in the first six arcs getting connected; why such an obviously powerful villain was so bizarrely unambitious, why the incongruous Pan-Asianism in his gang, why the comparative lack of powered subordinates, arguably even why he's specifically vulnerable to chemical attack. He had actual friends once, all of whom died due to their lack of caution, and he gets a power that necessitates not only an abundance of caution and timing, but witnesses, a retinue of the kind he lost during his trigger event and very pointedly never seems to attempt to build again. The entire interlude consists of him rebuking any attempt at genuine connection with anyone- The Yellow Sentai he saves during the Levithan fight, Bakuda, Marquis. Lung's characterization in this interlude is a major part of why I think Jack wasn't bullshitting about Oni Lee being functionally brain dead- who else would Lung, as characterized in this interlude, keep around as a henchman if not a blank slate who's nearly impossible to permanently kill?
The other thing I like about this interlude is that it's a brief foray into Doing Genre outside the American Superhero context; While I'm not very well versed in it, I strongly suspect that Lung's trigger event is intended to be a homage to the heroic bloodshed genre. With much more confidence I think that the Leviathan fight is an extended pastiche of both the Sentai and kaiju genres, and the deconstructive twist on both is an accelerated microcosm of what the book has to say about crisis crossovers; Japan gets (as far as we know) exactly one giant monster attack of the kind that it's casually known to receive in the American pulp fiction imagination, and the result is the functional collapse of the country, the cultural and geopolitical ramifications of which are present at the margins in the rest of the book; among other things, it's a major element of how Lung ended up relocating to America to get into it with Skitter at the start of the story. Even after all that it's still a very cool fight, though. The beat wouldn't work it it wasn't.
