Pretty random but I read this story a couple of months ago and I loved it. However I feel like I don't understand a certain aspect of the story. SPOILERS AHEAD!

So through the comic they constantly play with this idea how the center of the "Onion" is where everything began. How that was the first universe or the first dimension to exist and what could be there.

Somewhere close to the end of the run I remember that they went there. And it was full of these characters that kind of looked like flies or something. And one such character appeared a few times throught the story. So here is where I kind of got confused. So one of those fly looking characters who was the Grant Mckay of that dimension created the Grant Mckay who is the main character in the story to be like a virus for the "Onion" and destroy it. And he did that because many of his people were completely consumed by living in these simulations where they experience the lives of other beings from other dimensions of the "Onion". And Grant basically did fulfill his role by using his Pillar to punch holes through the "Onion" which caused it to collapse.

Do I understand this correctly or? I haven't read it for months but I was always wondering if I understood that part of the story correctly.

Through the years I've constantly seen people say how midichlorians are the Force or how the Force comes from midichlorians. Even in the Red Letter Media review of TPM Plinket says how George ruined Star Wars by having Qui-Gon explain that the Force is microscopic organisms. And from there people form this nerrative that midichlorians demistify the Force.

Now I don't know why people perpetuate this nerrative but all of this is factually wrong. Midichlorians are not the Force and the Force doesn't come from them. In the movie Qui-Gon says that they are microscopic life forms that live inside the cells. And that through them people can communicate with the Force. They're like a conduit. They're a piece of world building that explains why some people can use the Force and others can't or why someone would be stronger than someone else.

They don't explain what the Force is or where it's coming from. And they don't demistify the Force. If anything Obi-Wan explaining that the Force is an energy field in ANH demistifies it way more than midichlorians.

I don't know why people keep pushing this nerrative and false claims. Didn't they watch the movie? It's literally explained there. And it's not even hard to understand.

I'm from Europe and haven't studied much US history. Watching some Redcoat reviews it seems it has lots of specific time periods and historical figures from these periods. Any recommendations on what I have to know going in
