Oh Darn,

Bad Luck Indeed.

Luck is all in the state of mind. Tyler has metric tonnes of luck. It is the kind that progresses the plot ultimately in the good guys favour. Since his fall to the dark side our unranked musician has made it so that bad luck is the type he receives… But it looks like he was still trying to save his squishy nemesis.

Save? At this point I could see him saving Tyler as the Joker saves Batman. He doesn’t do it out of the kindness of his heart. He does it to prove he is better (or in the jokers case. He is the only one allowed to kill batman)

  What do you guys have against Ron?Seriously, he’s a good kid who was traumatized by punching out a bully, believes he caused the break-up of his parents’ marriage, was disillusioned by a hero he looked up to (Moonshadow) when that hero couldn’t solve all of Ron’s problems with his soul-vision and preyed upon by supervillains intent on [SPOILER] by recruiting him to their school under false pretenses.
  
  Before the fight with Charles, the worst thing Ron had to worry about was a slight fear of heights. (More like a fear of getting hit by a plane while flying.) The Praetorians stole his clarinet (despite their protests, there was no reason other than brainwashing to take it away) and he can’t travel to the moon to play with Argo. Then the Headmaster hands him the most important assignment he’s gotten yet (with a subtle hint not to mess up) and… everything seems to go wrong. So he continues to blame the hero who let him down.
  
  Also, Tyler doesn’t need saving. He’s back on Earth, duh! Besides, Ron likes Tyler and would never mistreat him.

  I don’t think the villains intent on global domination is much of a spoiler, although I’m just making assumptions based on convention

  The funny thing is that world domination isn’t the Headmaster’s plan. He’s got something else in mind…

  Actually I think it’s a little bit more of a “well, the guy’s in trouble, what am I supposed to do, just sit here?” Kind of thing. After all, his dad is Atlas. The praetorians can yell at him all they want, basic morals have been pretty much been integrated into his brain tissue from the start.

I don’t think luck has anything to do with it.
Shadow shows up wherever there’s trouble. He is there because of the trouble. You’d think that would be obvious. Apparently, not to Ron.

  Trouble doesn’t follow Moonshadow, but he just seems to end up heading straight for it! If that makes sense.

  Trouble doesn’t not stalk Moonshadow. Moonshadow stalks trouble across worlds and space.

  I particularly like moonshadow’s conversation with revenant where R. notices that he jumped to save Julie without thinking, then asks if moonshadow would like psychological counseling to encourage or discourage that tendency.
