Nice first move…

Another extra-sized daily from me! The situation kind of demands a larger canvas.
It’s fun seeing Rumy immediately leap to Tony, who she’s already been informed is one of Squad 128’s three strongest (and its most angriest), and take him out immediately. Man, I bet Sal coulda really used that kinda move three years prior, huh?
Walky’s being a brat.
I like it when very short, choppy dialogue makes fight scenes move at a brisk pace. And it’s a good quip by Walky, though it really highlights his overconfidence more than how dumb these normies are for trying to take him on.Strategy 101: if you can take out your opponent’s strongest asset right away, do so. Each team’s blond strongman is the first to go down: Will won’t get up from this until it’s too late for him to affect anything, and Tony’s a TKO. But those guys only look like the heaviest hitters: Rumy, Joyce, and Walky are the real key players. (Tony, Joyce, and Walky all have super-strength and good-to-great fighting skills, but Walky is also the leader and Joyce can fly.)The difference is that Walky thinks he’s taking out the other team’s strongest asset, whereas Rumy knows that she isn’t. Rumy had to go after Tony first because he was the trigger man, and if he was free to fire the gun, then this whole fight would be pointless. Walky’s making his call based on who looks toughest, because he hasn’t yet faced the fact that once you hit a certain level, native intelligence is no substitute for doing your homework.
Mike is pulling on Jackie’s pigtails because of course he is
Really, he’s a schoolyard bully at heart
I think this might be the only time throughout the Walkyverse that Mike has actually ever hit a woman.
Also you gotta feel for Jackie, who is perhaps the only person on the Fans side that wasn’t going to jump into battle so of course she immediately gets picked on.
Off the top of my head, does that little girl at the pacifist rally he stomped on a while back count?
That was just a kick! ;p
(also, how DARE Mike pull the pigtails of the Wendy’s girl! Walky Thomas was probably pissed when he saw his little girl get abused like that!)
On the other hand, Mike seems like purposefully being ineffective by bullying the weakest person of the opposing team without even trying to take her down for good with his modest super-strength.
To say nothing of the opening punch to the boob. He’s a class act all around.
yeah like,, ouch
Now I’m imagining Walky talking like William Shatner here.
Nonono, T, you misunderstand. It’s not that Walky’s misidentified the heavy hitters. It’s actually a brilliant psychological warfare tactic. You don’t need to eliminate the enemy’s ability to fight if you eliminate their Will instead.
booooooooooooooooooooooo
Nicely done.
See, if Walky had been thinking, he wouldn’t have tried to eliminate Will.
No, see, he would have thrown Will at the rest of the Fans. Make his size work against them.
I don’t know, I got through college fine and barely studied.
