THIRD IMPACT IS COMING, YOU GUYS
“The individuals have not yet been confirmed.” Nice try, Linda.
Fully confirmed? No, just mostly, Linda. Just mostly.
Not exactly “irrelevant”, Linda.
Reason number 50 million to fucking hate Linda Walkerton. She made a huge mess and decided letting Head Alien genetically modify children (some of whom were later recruited to SEMME underage iirc) was the answer.
God I fucking hate her.
I mean, regardless of when they were formally recruited, they were all targeted because of modifications they got forced on them as children. That came with psychological triggers built in and a probably unhealthy amount of mind wiping, given how Walky and Joyce react to the stuff later. There was never any real choice here. (Aside from Robin, who’s a weird exception.)
And now she continues her spree of lying to children, including her own, for the ‘greater good’ that’s really just because she fucked up hard.
To be fair, she was brainwashed when she made the huge mess
Wasn’t the whole point of the last few reveals that she didn’t actually make that mess? Jason’s father’s group did and framed her for it.
She’s still terrible but that’s not her mess.
I actually did forget about that. I mean, the way she dealt with the mess is still unforgivable but it does help it’s not entirely her fault.
For the record, Linda Walkerton was framed for killing the Martians and only believed (along with everyone else) that she was responsible until Head Alien turned up her corpse in the Martian Embassy. The most likely people responsible is the same group that brainwashed Sal.
SEMMF is the best hope for mankind? Mankind is doomed.
I forget – did we ever learn why Mars was deserted?
I don’t think so, no. Being a virtually atmosphere-free desert planet probably ha something to do with it. Maybe the planet was attacked or maybe pollution was a real issue way back when.
Thanos : *heavy breathing*
Walmart moved in and drove out all the independent retailers.
Question: How is a bunch of super-powered teens supposed to help against a couple of dreadnoughts standing off in high orbit and glassing the planet’s surface?
Can do attitude?
Is that Agatha’s head spotted behind Joe and Robin, and if so, where is Daisy?
Daisy is behind Walky and Tony.
Ah. Thanx.
Is the implication that if the Martians wipe away humanity, the crew of Destiny is expected to be the last survivors of the human race?
If so, I somehow missed that before.
…well fuck. I totally missed that too.
You know, it feels like the only realistic solution ought to be diplomatic begging for forgiveness.
I don’t think the Martians are interested in diplomacy anymore.
An overlooked aspect of Linda’s villainy is that this meeting is taking place “a few hours” after the end of Joe and Robin’s evening at the movies, so it’s gotta be, like, 5 or 6 in the morning.
