… Joyce, it takes all of a second to throw that shirt on OVER your current shirt.
Can, maybe, this not be about YOU and be about giving someone else moral support? You know, like you said it was a page ago?
Sorry… both sides of this kinda annoy me. Walky for putting this on her – why not fight barefoot, Walky? Or pull out Little Walky? Dead you wasn’t nude, was he? – and Joyce for not just putting the stupid shirt on. Yeesh.
To answer this question, it’s because Walky’s vision is in first-person view. We see the future blurb that he’s referencing, with Joyce reaching up to him. He can see what she’s wearing, but he can’t see himself in it, because it’s through his own eyes.
Ah – Genre limitation. IRL, I can see my outfit while sitting here looking at my computer screen due to peripheral vision, but a comic panel can’t convey that – thus Walky is blind to his own wardrobe. Fair enough.
I still think Walky stripping naked to combat fate would have been funny. :p
Because she’s still hung up on faith, and how you aren’t supposed to test it.
Logically though, it is a pretty dumb thing to do; if you can’t change the future, then changing shirt is completely futile, and if you can change the future there are probably better things you could change than your wardrobe.
On the subject of boarding mecha, rope ladders are a common device. A lifting wire is also an option. Most mech bays have scaffolding built up at hatch level, cautiously waving aside why mechs that might be built in a wide variety of shapes and sizes would all have their hatches at the same level. The high quality and totally well known battletech cartoon also postulated the existence of an escalator that emerged from a mech’s butt for boarding purposes.

I like how this is all about “YOU’RE WRONG AND HALLUCINATING but I don’t want to CHEAT to prove you’re WRONG”
(I don’t actually like it but this did feel weird to me, but then I’ve never had to deal with a precognitive significant other)
“Walky, your visions are false, and to prove it to you I’m not even going to be wearing that shirt” would be too simple, I guess.
more like he’ll suddenly remember “OH WAIT IT WAS THAT SHIRT AFTER ALL”
My favourite part is ‘Pony Door Open.’.

Without jetpacks, I assume super-strong SEMME operatives can just jump really high?
They totally can jump hella high.
I don’t understand why Joyce is so against changing her shirt on the off chance that maybe it’ll mean Walky’s visions of the future don’t come true.

With a running start?
I think we all know that Walky’s mecha’s entry hatch is in the butt.
🤣
