So what is the Source as an afterlife like? What is it like in there?

It must be very nice, because no one ever comes back.

But! The worshippers have rather a different take on it; they expect to exist in Heaven Forever. They expect (and this is the important bit) to be reunited with their loved ones. Which happened for Kent Nelson, though he and Inza may have gone somewhere else.

Look, it's not Renegade's fault if these people aren't paying attention to how their own religion works. He's not there to manage their afterlife expectations! And who is to say they aren't reunited with their loved ones in the Source anyway? They are welcome to assume that's what happens, and no one can prove them wrong.

And now Iname has to find some way to get her to the Renegade or call him to them before she finishes the dying she started.

Who says they need to get to Renegade? Iname has many pouches; she might well keep an emergency alchemical healing potion one of them.

Persuader and Iname side-by-side has been a real "Goofus and Gallant" performance. I mean, I can applaud Persuader's determination I guess, but Iname was constantly thinking about the best move in a way that Persuader simply was not.

Tell that to the religious people who trusted their souls to him - especially since they're Christian.

I mean, Kaldur probably doesn't give a shit because Ahri'ahn left a big anti-spirit splash. But he's got two people who he promised 'no changes' to, and he doesn't have the evidence Paragon does that the angels do the same thing. He'd actually be covered if he'd triggered an angelic invasion, hilariously - but without that, they're probably going to assume what they want about their default option.

And he did falsely present the effect of newgodhood, even if their religion of choice means the difference is meaningless. What if they switched religions for an afterlife that wasn't effectively obliteration? He should at least tell them, so they know there's no point joining Hellenism or whatever now that their immortal lifespan is the whole of their existence. (So I can point and laugh at whatever happens, with popcorn.)

Hm. So the Renegade did lie to Zatanna about her still going to Heaven; it's not just for the NG noble caste.

It's safe to say most of what Renegade tells people is a lie, so this shouldn't really be a surprise.
