As a matter of fact, neither the monitor nor DS are even defeated at this point. I had to read the story a few times to realize that.
DS is like, outside of creation. Far as BFRs go, that's a pretty 1337 loss.
And prior to that, he was dying of Radion poisoning.

It would be way more interesting for the heroes to struggle in a world taken from them. But again you have to go back to how the mainstream industry handles things.
They are so caught up by their vision of continuity they are willing to compromise good stories just to revert to the usual. A good story respects the narrative first and then the characters.

AOA sucked.
personally I can't stand anything with deux machina plot devices...it's such an anticlimatic copout
