YMMV / Incarnations of Immortality

Go To

  • Harsher in Hindsight: In On a Pale Horse, Lachesis defends Fate's meddling in Zane's life by saying that "all mankind will be damned" if they don't meddle. Come For Love of Evil, we learn that Satan doesn't actually intend any such thing. Quite the opposite actually. His bid to claim God's power is motivated by a desire to stop people from being damned unfairly. The idea that the forces of Good may have actually been preventing a desirable outcome (and unwittingly subjecting countless innocent souls to damnation) by their interference is some pretty serious Fridge Horror.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In For Love of Evil, Parry realizes that the current system is broken, and goes to see the other Incarnations, who are all fighting on the side of good, to figure out how to fix things. Rather than meeting him and hearing him out, because of the actions of his predecessor, the other incarnations (minus Chronos) decide to rebuff, abuse, embarrass and insult him, ending with Black Comedy Rape by an orangutan on Perry. This causes centuries of fighting instead of fixing the system everyone knows is broken, and Parry going a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
  • Tear Jerker:
    • Fate having to comfort Norton's successor/predecessor, a eight-year-old boy.
    • A previous Chronos is broken at realizing that from the POV of Niobe, the woman that he had loved for thirty-five years, they are only meeting for the second time.
    • Orlene meeting God, except God is so narcissistic that He does not react to anything anymore.
