Sure, it would be pretty dorky if it was the traditional Spender Slam. But the Isabel Edition of the move is much improved with the return to the upright position via spectral energy. Much more impressive and plays better to the crowd I think.

There's only one thing in the mountains that leaves a track like this. The creature of legend that roams the Timberline. My people named him Sasquatch. You call him... Bigfoot.
Well, there goes my theory.

I was thinking that since under all the hair they look like just a giant head, maybe they're extensions of a single hydra-esque spirit or something. (Hence also the regenerating schtick.) But if they're all part of the same thing, I'm not sure the infinite death loop would work.

Nah. Naming an attack after yourself is dorky as hell. Naming an attack after your mentor's version and then adding your name? ...still pretty dorky, but in a cool way.

Sooo, nobody gonna bring up the fact that Isabel just did exactly what the spirits wanted in the first place? They're on the other side of the barrier now.

Edit: Oh wait. It looks like they're still stuck in an infinite revival loop. It was a bit hard to tell. Nevermind.

Also their goal was to cause chaos/get Forge and Spender fighting/kill the kids. If they wanted out they could have left whenever; they kept going for Max and Isabel of their own volition.

Also yeah, they are probably stuck together still. Which is a rather unpleasant fate, but if they've done enough awful things to speak cursed words fluently they probably deserve it.

Didn't we already see them stalking Forge outside the barrier? Meaning that getting outside wasn't a big deal/primary objective for them? They were probably meant to foil Spender's mission, and so far it's mostly on track, aside from Forge's presence. And it doesn't seem like Spender will have problems getting back on.

Wonder how Isaac and the Burger child are.

I think that's Isabel in the window in the next carriage, so a reunion might be imminent.

It's a bit sad she thinks Max is dead at the moment, although it occurred to me that if we didn't know Max was the protagonist via following him around all the time he might've looked like the unimportant rookie red shirt that gets added to the team just to get killed off to show the situation's serious. That would've been one hell of a bait-and-switch.

Unless Max becomes a ghost tool user medium, remaining the main character.

It's never been said what happens when a medium dies before the spirit is strong enough to leave. And the fact that Max is also a tool user might complicate things.

Well, unless some spirits are so powerful, they can possess people despite being in a tool.

Probably float out in wispy ghost form in need of a new thing to possess.

I think that Zack mentioned that if a tool breaks, that's what happens. And a medium is just a human tool, so you're probably right.

Is she just straight up outrunning a train? That's pretty impressive. Not sure how she'll get Max out of his bind though, considering he's magnet'd to the rails.

It's funny to think Max is fulfilling the damsel-in-distress-tied-to-the-train-tracks role at the moment. Someone get Isabel a Mountie hat.

I don't think he blocked the door. Issac just tried to kick the door, thinking it would open on hinges like a normal door, but it's actually a sliding door that won't respond to kicks like that.
