Predictable as ever

Probably not what I was going for at the time, but

“Well, I mean. Come on. We could have revived him AGAIN.”
Kinda takes the stakes out of most stuff, huh…
Just do the dragon ball thing and have the villain be powerful enough to destroy the “Revive” card if they win.
“( No Title )”?
Walky’s technically a superhero so maybe it’s different
…what exactly did Sal do, again? I thought it was Joe’s tracking device implanted in Walky that let the gang track him?
…or maybe the idea was that they needed Jason’s government technology to actually locate the source of the device’s signal. In which case this tracking subplot continues to have whole new levels of unintentional creepy
Presumably, the tracking device could only be detected by a government satellite? That’s my read on it.
The Hell? I would’ve sworn the second half of your reply wasn’t there when I started typing my reply. Oy. Eye reed gud.
I think the situation goes like this: Joe didn’t tell anyone about the tracker when he put it in, so nobody contacted him about the great Walky hunt while he was still at home where his end would have been close at hand. When he meets up with Joyce and finally does find out and let’s her know about the tracker it’s faster for them to call Sal and tell her the signal she needs to sneak into one of Jason’s spy toys than it is for him to go home and grab his own tracking device.
And they didn’t make use of Robin to get his one because if they did we wouldn’t be getting Jason/Sal drama out of this.
My assumption/understanding was that there was never a butt implant, that was just the cover story for using Jason’s government tracking satellites or whatever to find him
Yeah, I mean, had she told him that was what she needed it for, I feel like it’d have been fine, but I guess she didn’t know he was kidnapped at the time, just missing, so he would have said no, given how dismissive he was earlier.
Sidebar, but I think a missed opportunity for a good gag with Jason would be if words like “behavior” in his word balloons were always spelled in the British fashion
I mean, a recent DoA had “laugh” spelled as “larf,” so I think Willis may actually be doing that now?
There’s a difference between spelling a British person’s accent, especially if it’s being put on for effect, and spelling “behavior” as “behaviour” even though they’re indistinguishable to the ear.
Using spy satellites to find and rescue Walky doesn’t seem so bad compared to the stuff in the Patriot Act to me.
Righteous indignation isn’t exactly the way to go here, is it Jason?
I feel like this whole argument was a little forced from the start
Like, it wasn’t even that long ago that something tried to kill Walky, and Jason was there for that
But Walky disappears on his wedding day, and Jason and only Jason is like “Aw, he’s probably at Chuck E. Cheez, there’s no way he could actually be in danger, using that really easy way to find him in two seconds would be a huge waste of taxpayer dollars, which I care a lot about even though I never said anything about it before”
Like, why is he suddenly stupid
Maybe Jason was more concerned about being punished by higher ups.
Less stupid and more a stickler for rules. But just like paladins in DnD it’s real.easy to land yourself in stupid shit when you insist on following rules to the letter with no wiggle room.
But he wouldn’t be a “stickler for rules” if he thought Walky was in trouble, b/c he’s not gonna say “this rule is more important than my friend and successor’s life”
That would make him a monster, which would be even worse than making him a moron
