Probably a reference to The Divine Comedy, it was never real but it's a masterpiece of the literature and some people prefer the idealized version than the ugly reality about Dante. Something similar to The Life of Pi.

I wrote a more detailed post long time ago.

it's "THE LOVELIEST LIES ABOVE" YOU GODDAMN FUCKING FAGGOT RETARD PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHAT A FUCKING INCEL , I BET YOU SPEND YOUR TIME FAPPING TO ANTHROPOMORPHIC PONEY GIRLS LIKE THE FAGGOT THAT YOU ARE , DIE NIGGER DIE

and what does that mean?

I dunno lol

I dreamed I watched the sequel last night. Wirt and Greg were lost in a war zone. Greg and the frog had kiddie adventures themed around military toys and a Brand X version of Star Wars. Wirt was having to fulfill dangerous missions in WW2 zones: the first episode was inside Nazi Germany, the second was trying to stave off a Japanese invasion of Washington state. Sometimes pictures of the boys dying or dead would flash. It was implied the final episode would have Wirt would get his head shot coming ashore first at Normandy. I don’t know how he was going to get out of that one.

I haven’t dreamed about a cartoon like that. It was a very weird feeling.

We should get a skilled writefag to expand on this.

Look at that Pepe.

I am skilled, but I'm not very good writing stories in Yea Forums because well... It's hard to express ideas with a green dialogue, I just can create "ideas" following this format. For now I can say that this setting is very adequate to create a war/romance story. But I feel that without the magic things the final product will not feel like OTGW.

That boy needs therapy

Life is the loveliest lie of all. You walk around like life has meaning, but really you're just pretending until you die. So all the good things that happen in your life is a lie, but that doens't really matter because it's a really lovely lie.

I have a kazoo. Let's have a tune. Now when I count 3...

Nah, that's completely out of theme, maybe life after death is the loveliest lie.

Love.

Its just Comedy. Other fucks put Divine on it.

Excuse me?

Ugly reality about Dante? I thought he was just kind of a nerdy poet, what did he do?

He was exiled of his home because he portrayed to the church as an organization who left God "they are often described as people following indications of devils or as a prostitute" and he was never able to return. His loved Beatrice died when she was very young because a sickness (according to him this was his reason to be poet, he wanted dedicate a story to her). Dante's story is very tragic when you compare it with the happy ending of his book which could be considered as a hope, he wanted to be reunited with Beatrice in the Paradise or Heaven after his death. He portrays the message of The Life of Pie, a dilemma, what story do you prefer? What story gives you hope? People mostly prefer the happy ending even if it is a lie.

I can hear that image.

I always thought he just meant stories. Fictional works are lies but we enjoy them.

You just wanted to fuck Beatrice, don't lie to yourself.

that cartoons are good

You mean like suspension of disbelief?

>So it's a self-insert revange fic?
Yeah seems right

Don't talk like a pleb, if it has a good writing it's a great work. But yeah it's a self-insert revenge story where our protagonist is approved by God himself. Still people prefer this version.

It's an allegorical poem, not a fantasy novel, geez

ok but yea

"I love you user"

Loveliest 'Lies' plural

Referring to the golden memories, how things aren't always as we remember them

Your not really reading the Divine Comedy , unless you have context of his life
Which sucks, when I think of He'll being a literal place I think of The Divine Comedy art by Gustave Dore, which the is no canon to the church.

The devil doesn’t exist

Beatrice was not in the dream. No idea where she was. Wirt’s girls were not Lorna but very similar, except none of them wanted to eat him and sort his bones.

The Holocaust.

>He didn't dream with Beatrice

What's wrong with your head user?

Mysticism. The afterlife. Poetic meaning to mundane events. The story you were just told. How dense are you?

I heard in a thread that McHale wants to make his own Divine Comedy (three stories).

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This one is a good option

Don't need to be sarcastic, to me it sounded interesting.

>Your not really reading the Divine Comedy , unless you have context of his life
Nobody has context of someone else's life. Especially someone that died 700 years ago. What you're really saying is "your not really reading the Divine Comedy , unless you are indoctrinated into same school of literature commentary and analysis that I was indoctrinated into."

Sorry, but, I don't give a shit if namedropped priest number XIV in Bolga 3 gave him a wedgie in high school, the humanity and value of his poems are that which have survived most true and most vibrantly throughout history. All the noise you care about might as well just be social media posts from other people about some other creator.

McHale better make a second season of otgw. I don't care if it is worse than the first season, I need it.

Well he is right about his point of view there aren't many registers about Dante so the specialists often discuss about what thing was real and what thing was purely fantastic, just a few years ago it was popular to think that Beatrice never existed but eventually they found a tomb with her name which have certain details mentioned by Dante. So we can't really discard the story (of his real life) that he mentioned but we can't proof it.

I like a specific aspect of Dante's work, Dante was genuinely religious but he didn't believe in the Church, he never thought that God was the culprit behind the suffering and the evil acts of the Church but instead he thought that the Church was separated of God himself and they don't acted as God wanted and he portrayed God as someone who prefer mercy over punishment. I like this point of view, it's very... huh... different and beautiful.

I think both extremes are an exaggerated approach. Of course you don't need hindsight of the historical context of the author and his times to appreciate the work, but it's also true that knowing some of that does bring, well, more hindsight

I mean, it's fucking Dante, his life isn't exactly obscure. I don't know where you guys are from but this is high school material in Italy (not that I'm calling myself an expert)

Greg's adventures with the soldier toys could be a way to cop with Wirt's absence like probably many kids did when their brothers were called to the line.

Well he is writing a bunch of novels right now and they are freaking good. McHale still has rhythm to manage his own characters and tell us interesting stories (I have never seen a ship punished so hard by an author). There is gonna be another novel this year about circus which is clearly inspired by Pinocchio.

Remember to support McHale by buying Circus Friends, a story about Wirt and Greg joining forces with a Strong Man and a Clown to save their friend Beatrice. Greg's position implies a parallelism with the strong man while at the other side Wirt will have a parallelism with The Clown (his new thematic)

Greg's adventures never compensate for the absence of Wirt and Beatrice, he is a comic relief he doesn't work very well when he is by himself.

I meant that Greg is fantasising about Wirt's life on the front line

McHale so obviously wants Wirt and Beatrice to be together. He doesn't give a shit about Sara's image.

Hey that's different, it could be very funny.

At this point I think that he probably hates that character.
