what... My interpretation of the meme was that Duo caused the the tower to collapse and if that means he's responsible for splitting languages to achieve that then, that too. So that he could profit and torture you forcing you to learn languages.
but the tower's destruction doesn't bring him any closer to that goal, it's an entirely unnecessary step. the tower only needed to be built to split languages.
besides the tower looks finished (iirc it was never finished, becuase of the whole langauge thing), and the people are upset that i's being destroyed which- none of it makes sense.
why would they be upset that the tower that made god mad at them and split their speech so they couldn't communicate is being destroyed?
why would duo be behind it? he profits from teaching languages, his work depends on there being more than one of them
if duo is destroying the tower then the comic does not make sense within the lore of the bible. it's as if the author of the comic only half remembered that there was some tower that has something to do with languages
sorry for the long comment, i get unreasonably involved in logical inconsistencies in media
Yes, you're reading too deep into it. It's not about logic, but a what if sort of thinking, with creative license.
yes but we could have both! logic and creative license. take the same two panels, but instead the first one has the tower being built, and the second one shows Duo as the leading architect smiling mischievously
Fair, okay! You should have said that straight as the first comment!
i needed to get the whole internal monologue out first
