I would argue that if it required enough changing to be more new ship than old, they would have just made a new one instead of pulling it up. I would call it more of a Car of Theseus, the engine, the power, the heart of it is still the same. THe angel just jump started it, the power was there, just dormant. With so much of the original ship having been destroyed and replaced/redone, is it truly still the ship that faced Phyrexia or is it just meant to appear like the original to give the denizens of Dominaria a well known legend to rally behind as they confront a force that wants to rewrite history? This makes it quite a bit like the Ship of Theseus thought experiment. We also witness the powerstone be restarted by Tiana, when it previously took collapsing an entire plane into it to give the ship the ability to travel the planes (prior to interplanar travel being made more difficult by the Mending). Jhoira scavenged what she could of the original, and replaced what was lost or irrevocably damaged with similar materials as were originally used. Quote from Melkor »That's stupid, Skysovereign should never be just overall better than the ship that went up against Phyrexia.ĭepends on whether you consider it to be the same ship or not. On the other hand, maybe they're saving that for when they decide to bring New Phyrexia back in as an antagonistic force? I do kinda hope they find some way to sneak planeshifting for people who aren't walkers back in as a story element, but I understand that they want travel between planes of existence to be something special.
Regardless of the reason/justification, it does feel almost like a wasted opportunity. Like a "The ship's hull is organic, so it will get vaporized" kind of explanation? I find it unlikely that the problem would rest on "they didn't make the gate emitter wide enough" - if the Weatherlight can't go through there's going to be a different explanation. Quote from NZB2323 »Plot twist: the Weatherlight is in Bolas’s clutches and then he puts the planar bridge in it.Ĭan the Planar Bridge portal fit the Weatherlight? It's big enough to fit the Immortal Sun and a standard Gearhulk, but the Weatherlight is much more massive than both.
