588

Matrix is doing her best to get under Cho’s skin! Metaphorically, I hope.

We’ve done another big archive update with the reformatted pages, 220273! If you post any grammatical errors that need fixing on the new pages, we will put your name in the printed Volume 2 book giving credit to beta readers! Email or tweet up Joe with a name to credit.

I watched a fan edit of The Hobbit trilogy that cut it all down to a four hour long movie. I thought it was better, keeping the film very Bilbo-centric. Just after I watched it, two more fan edits cut the whole trilogy down to THREE HOURS! These fan edits remind me of the excellent The Phantom Edit that manages to make Episode 1 a watchable film. Still, I find myself wondering why I keep rewatching these inferior prequels when I have the originals films just waiting to be rewatched anyway!

    Holy crap, Cho actually got someone’s gender right on the first try? It must be a sign of the… oh wait, it’s Cho. EVERYTHING he does is a sign of the apocalypse.

    Yep, I definitely get an Enoch Root vibe from Matrix. Applying gentle pressure where needed to make sure things turn out a certain way. Except that Enoch Root was more or less unambiguously good, and Matrix is… not unambiguously anything.

    Turns out The Tao is no match for The Sass

    She just cut off the Tao! Now I’ll never know where the contrary watermelon will roll.

    My fist.

    Also, she’s not trying to get under his skin. She’s trying to get under his knickers.

    Not sure what to make of all this. My best guess is that Cho is, himself, trying to learn the Thousand Fists of Fury. But why he wouldn’t want his friends to know he’s trying to learn it… Is ashamed to be learning a forbidden talent or simply doesn’t want them getting involved when the hammer brothers come a visiting again.

    Could very well be that Matrix herself knows the secret to the Thousand Fists of Fury and will give him quick pointers. However It makes better story sense if his friends simply help him. Who knows, maybe Ken will get a chance to return the favor and fare better than he did last time… Maybe take a Thousand Fists of Fury for Cho.

    • I can’t imagine Ken willingly taking that kind of a hit for Cho. They haven’t even fist bumped yet, so is there even any bromance to be had there??

      • Ryan Thompson says:

        They have a long history of not murdering each other.

      • charles81 says:

        I can see it now.
        Ken shall take a Thousand Fists of Fury
        Tell the hammer brother, Wu, he hits like a pansy then fall and die in a painted scene.
        Cho shall win the battle and Fumio will join them and wail that Ken is dead
        Ken shall then shatter the last of Fumio’s teeth with a thunderous, final uppercut to the jaw to repay Fumio for callin’ him dead.
        Then Ken shall slump back and give one final speech of badassery to Cho, worthy of a grand Kabuki play to cap the career of The Ennosuke Nakamura.

    Seriously, how is Cho’s arm healed already? Unless…it isn’t…and he just went through a battle sequence and is now training with a busted arm…because he’s THAT worried about Brothers Rap Reference.

    …huh. Maybe Matrix is doing him a favor here.

  9. Hfar says:

    *tsk* More blackmail? Why is it nobody ever uses whitemail? Or pucemail? No-one even considers pucemail….

  10. clogboy says:

    Matrix is meddling. Wouldn’t that mean she lost the bet?

  11. Brandenfascher says:

    He’s not “training in secret”, he just needs training with peace and privacy! Especially from people that interrupt their training with questions. Why else do monks train in remote locations?

  12. DarthJazzHand says:

    OHhoho. I see. He’s trying to master the 1000 fists of ORAORA trick as well, eh? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a2fd02f499ac169b84f7e9de378c8844d67dda987474cebe52e3c89176a6b64c.gif
