I'm not the DJ or the guy from EastEnders. I am the brony, skater and the fanfic character one.

Additional character tag: Starlight Glimmer, Trixie Lulamoon and Sunset Shimmer

Based of the song: KMFDM - Son of a Gun and Crossover of SuperGod (Yeah, another Warren Ellis comic) :twilightblush:

This is such an interesting premise here, I honestly can't wait to see more of this! Though, I wonder where other members of the mane 6 are. Based on the situation, I highly suspect they are dead, but who am I to say?
Anyways, great first chapter.

Hello MangaBro, thank you for your comment those questions will be answered as the chapters progress but the story focuses mostly on the supergods.

I hope to keep you interested until the end. :twilightsmile:

I honestly wasn't expecting to find a Supergod crossover, ever, on this site.

The narrative flow could use some work. It's markedly different from Ellis. Though, I think that's for the best, considering Twilight is a more known and developed character than Dr. Reddin was in Supergod. So, there's an expected change in tone too.

Now, let's see how did Twilight kill the world.

The moment I read that Equestria alone had seven ‘supergods’ I got this same feeling of hopelessness from the original comic. Granted, the prologue already set that tone, but it’s the fact that Twilight describes the existence of seven living weapons of mass destruction that drives the concept home.

I can see how much the setting diverges from the canon in how Twilight keeps swinging from emotional to cold. Though, it could use some more paralanguage (gestures and tone inflections to complement the dialogue).

The melancholy from the Pinkie flashback really hits from the start. Besides the foregone conclusion, the heavy contrast between Twilight and Pinkie really makes it an emotional scene.

The gross-out tone from Ellis’ original kinds of clashes with the rest of the narrative. Mostly in describing the effect of Kali on the scientists.

The pacing on the creation of Chrysalis was a bit sudden, but it balances out at the flashback recording. I think reading her dialogue makes her more interesting than Krishna in the original since she shows more emotions.



All in all, it’s an interesting take on both, Warren Ellis’ style and the subgenre of MLP post-apocalypse (aponylipse?).

11719999 Thanks for your opinion brother, I admit that, yes, in the introduction of Chrysalis, I had run out of ideas, I couldn't think of anything to add more background to the creation of Chrysalis and I didn't want to explain scientific methods that surely not many would understand, because I want the story to be understandable and explain everything in a simple way.

And the comics do not provide, at least from my point of view, more information about the creation of each Supergod to adapt it to my story, which also contributed to me not knowing how to make the creation of Chrysalis to have more depth.
But after all, I'm glad you like my story and it's not forgotten, just to clarify, I still plan to finish it, it's just that I'm one of those authors who can't focus on just one story or two stories, so it may take me a while to write the next chapter.

I always thought the Supergods' origins were meant to remain vague besides the technical explanations so they would feel more detached from the reader. Same reason they barely express themselves or have dialogues. It all makes them more dehumanized, thus more eldritch.

And yeah, I totally understand. I once tried to juggle four (I think) project at the same time as my first year at university. And in between I also made a couple of one-shots. Sometimes one just needs to write something, anything.

And the fights were too short, I remember that the Supergod who was created in Russia was defeated so quickly that I think he only appears on 2 pages. That's why I focused more on the fights and interactions between Twilight and Sunset Shimmer, I want to extend it a little more and give more depth to the story.
The university, the main reason why I took ages to respond and release new chapters, in fact I would have to re-read the SuperGod comic again because I don't remember much of it anymore.

Maybe for the better. Make this more your story rather than adapt Ellis'.

Right dude, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
