How do people feel about all the retcon stuff?
Specifically the fact that now when you go back and reread the comic there's a bunch of oil and John arms floating around in what I consider to be a very distracting manner. (They're even in the Flashes!)
I wonder what people going throug hthe comic for the first time make of all these weird arms just floating around (often in quite promimant spots in some panels).




I didn't really like it very much. It kinda reset the tension after Game Over and there wasn't really much time to build it back up after that since the rest of the comic was just Vriska talking until Collide.
I read it for the first time after the Retcon, and I didn't notice any of the arms or oil at all until they were pointed out.
I liked the retcon stuff, I think it worked in well with theme of the comic. It made a good sequel to all the time shenenigans in the first half of the comic.
I started reading as the retcon stuff was happening, so I don't know what later readers will think. But imo it's just another little puzzle in the comic for people to wonder about.
I know for a fact we have a few people on the Imzy who did their first read after the retcon was over! A close friend of mine read post-arms, but pre-oil, and didn't even notice the arms until they linked one image and were like "wait, why does that image have 'retcon' in the filename?"
On the other hand I know that some people have tried to guess (and sometimes successfully done so) passwords on the Terezi pages and then they end up very confused about what the fuck is going on and where they got jostled to in the story.
