Alternately, either of them could be the vigilante throat-slasher. Her taking out frustrations, him doing the ugly right thing that somebody's gotta do. ...or is it only young folks who can be biodynamic? I'm not 100% on the superpower rules of the world.

a cartoon duck posted:This, and later on Miles yelling about Allison being a monster, took me right out of the scene. Who would act this aggressively to someone everyone knows is basically in invincible superwoman? Like, I honestly cannot tell if that was meant to add some moral ambiguity or whatever that Allison used an amount of force that tells everyone in the room that she could kill them and there's nothing anyone can do, or that he just talks back to her because he's a bad rape-man and calls her a monster because she's a good guy and that's what bad men do or whatever.

I think they still really have no idea how dangerous she is. They act like it was a party fowl, like she punched him in the neck or something a normal person could do. Only one of the bystanders seems to realize how effortlessly Allison could wreck their poo poo. Miles is just a fratboy with injured pride, talking big without realizing how much trouble he's in. He - and larger society in general in this world - has not truly connected 'near-massacre on the news' with 'tiny blonde student.' When he has time to think about this later, he is going to poo poo his pants.

Captain Bravo posted:Also, don't forget that Alison arrived to the superhero theme party she was specifically invited to by leaping onto the roof like a boss. Everyone watched. Some even took pictures. Maybe this dude has some severe mental retardation or short-term memory loss, but at one point he definitely knew that she was extremely biodynamic, even if he wasn't aware she was Mega-Girl. I still maintain that there is a common mental disconnect between how dangerous she is and how society perceives her. Allison's talked about it with Feral and Cleaver - how because they look scary, they get treated worse despite Allison easily outshining them both in threat.

Alternately, the commando guy in the background still wearing his mask is Patrick.

I, too, support the execution of those who cut me off in traffic. A society of trigger-happy executioners is a crime-free society.

My assumption is that the government knows exactly who did it, and doesn't want Megagirl to get involved. If she and the country argued about what to do with a murderer, the country would lose.

I think they're external hard drives. He's a piece of software running on the human gestalt OS, and he's accessing their business experience and know-how for his dark goals.

Unlucky7 posted:I have to say though I have mixed feelings about this. Is Patrick being written out of the story here? Seems like a sudden, jarring way to do it. Seriously, this is clearly leading to some kind of actual honesty from Patrick. He is going to have to say something heartfelt and without calculation to try and win her back. I agree that this this scene has gone on a bit long, but it feels necessary for the larger metaplot, of which vigilante slasher-lady is only a part.
