From what I pieced together across the whole of It’s Walky (Spoilers):
Head Alien can (somehow) brainwash Tony into a mindless killer in a manner distinct from how all of the Abductees got brainwashed on Year Zero. See May 26 2002, Dec 7 2003, and Sep 14 2004.
Head Alien used this mechanism to get Tony to kill his own mother, because HA is cancer. Tony goes into detail about it on June 26, 2004.
That attitude of him is going to get him killed one day I bet.
*his
Spoilers.
I read Shortpacked before It’s Walky where he was dead.
Not dead, just exiled to another dimension.
Wasn’t that a HA from another dimension?
Yes, it was.
oooOOOooh
So I don’t remember if we got a concrete answer, but why did Tony kill his mom again?
Wait, is that what happened?
It did.
I could have just gone to Walkypedia instead of waiting around for an answer, I guess.
Tony had so much tragic backstory that I failed to ever give a damn about…

The fact that HA lives as long as he does really just reflects poorly on every other member of the cast.
And here I was expecting a table flip motion.
