In the Silver Heaven, known as Lunia:

St Sollars the Twice-Martyred is standing in front of Castle Al-Amo, welcoming the PCs to the Seven Heavens. "Well, dogies!" St Sollars says, "I thought fer sure you were gonna be goners in the Abyss, but y'all come through fer me. Thet Orcus'll git him another wand, sure as shootin', but not for a few hunnerd years. In th' meantime, we got ta' destroy this'un, and make sure Orcus leaves Bloodstone Pass alone once an' fer all."

Last weekend got the opportunity to meet the talented Michael Dobson at TFCon!!! I know him best as the voice of Starscream from the Unicron Trilogy, which was my first exposure to the character. Armada Starscream in particular was such a great character! Michael was incredibly nice to meet and it was amazing getting to hear him perform IRL. He kindly autographed this pic I drew! Wanted to go for a faux screenshot sort of vibe!

What can I say? When I imagine the voice of Starscream, it's Michael Dobson's voice that I hear!

not the suicidal one or the conspiracy theorist, but ARMADA RED ALERT. Putting personal bias aside, I believe he has the best traits of both Prowl (which, note, there are VERY few of...) and Optimus; in which he's not overwhelmed by emotion but also never omits morality from political equations. I think being a medic would also help in understanding certain societal issues (but that's a separate thing). He also knows when to accept that he's wrong so I think he'd be decent at politics. At least compared to Goku

Idk. It's like midnight. Im gonna go to bed. I love Red Alert (VA: Brian Dobson) btw he's awesomr and i met thr VA's brother (Michael Dobson)

brian i want your vocal cords. unfortunately i am a cis woman with normal testosterone levels

The Overlord feels like a villian they could've reused many times over, to be fair. He's basically a god. And although I haven't actually seen the finale of season 3 yet, I can't imagine any way you could ever kill a god. At the very least, it'd be nearly impossible. Where there is light, there is always shadow. The Overlord survives because he's basically a force of nature. He can't be killed. At best, I think you could imprison him in secretive and heavily guarded prison. Maybe trap him in an object, then bury it at the bottom of the darkest ocean or something. You can't get rid of him. You can only fight him in the endless cycle of light and shadow. Or something like that.

The Overlord is basically impossible to beat. Pythor is capable of being beaten, though. That one is fair to say. I think Pythor can be beaten, considering he barely clung to life after the great devourer ate him. So he's the easier villian to deal with. That being said, I still think he could've come back in cameoes during one of the seasons between 3 and 15. If season 3 ends with him arrested or something, really just play with him becoming the weird guy we see every time we have to have a jail scene or something. Perhaps he has knowledge the heroes need, so we have to have an interrogation scene. There's options, is what I'm saying.

Pythor could've made some fun guest appearances, I'm convinced of that. He basically stole every scene he was in, largely because of the voice actor's performance. Of all the serpentine we see on the show, I think he really embodies the negative use that Snake has as a term used for humans. When we call other humans snakes, we're usually calling them devious and cunning. We're calling them liers and manipulators. And really, I feel like Pythor is the only serpentine in seasons 1 through 3 who even remotely embodies that. Some others have tried, but none can match the constant duplicity of Pythor.

So yeah, I think these two made a good double act. They're both good on their own too, but I'm kind of amazed Ninjago didn't just to doing a Legion of Villians plotline sooner. I'm not going to complain too much, because I'm sure the villains for seasons 4 to whenever are probably all somewhat compelling. But I do kind of think they could've used these two a little bit more before the final season of the show. At the very least, I think they could've had them making cameoes in some of the later seasons to build up to their return in the final one.
