I’m extremely worried for Dina, Joyce.

Oh, hey, that’s not a bad drawing of Walky’s head from that angle in panel 2. Even has his hair submitting to gravity somewhat correctly. Huh! Wonder when I unlocked that ability.

Properly-angled heads are Level 13!
Remember
Jurassic Park III
So many Browns
And then the magical fairy comes down
I can explain
I’ve missed you
She didn’t even come back for her stuff
Daisy! Beef!
I’m sorry, Walky, but I have to get home
So, bro, where were you?
Ah hate most people more than anythin’
Off we go.
Hands up
BLAM! BLAM! CLUNK!
What was THAT for?
DINA is the one you’re worried about?
SHE ROOFIED MIKE FOR WEEKS YOU DUMB ASSWIPE
Yeah, but he’s a guy so it’s okay. And if he retaliates by hitting her, then that just proves he’s a monster.
(sarcasm, in case it wasn’t obvious)
She became a gender inverted from of this image:

… Uhm, when Mike can hit her hard enough to make her head explode and he didn’t seem to have any intention of holding back… She was truly awful for this whole arc, engaging in reprehensible behavior, but I kinda stop short of saying that the just punishment was a closed-casket funeral.
Well, you have to feel sorry for her on some level, because she obviously still has trauma from this (http://www.itswalky.com/comic/hur-hur/). Many abusers are like that; they’ve been abused themselves at some point in their past, and are sadly perpetuating the cycle.
(either that, or young Willis just wasn’t thinking these things through)
Yes, Dina is the one he’s worried about. Mike is a super-strong asshole who now has an incredibly good reason to be super pissed at someone who (apparently) lacks any kind of enhancements at all. He could pop her head clean off without even trying.
Sure, she’s been awful. Incredibly awful. But she’s still in very real life-threatening danger. That’s worth worrying about.
THANK. YOU
Dina knew Mike is an asshole and chose to get involved with him anyway, instead of going for a guy who doesn’t have to be drunk to be nice.
You know what bothers me most about this storyline? It’s how for everyone in SEMME, Dina’s actions either get a pass or aren’t considered wrong at all. And I get it, Mike of all people is the very example of an unsympathetic victim, but I hate how there’s not a single person in the cast who sees what Dina did as a problem in and off itself. Except for Mike, that is.
Honestly I can’t think of anything Mike’s done up to this point that goes beyond the level of Grouchy Smurf. I guess maybe the Nachito storyline? Besides that, the only time he’s gone out of his way to actively antagonize anyone (instead of being a reactionary grump) was when he put his own life at risk to save Tony from brainwashing. Who then in this storyline thanked Mike for it by advocating to keep him brainwashedl. What the FUCK, Tony?
I mean, there’s that one strip of Mike making a Grinch face as Dina vents to him? Which seems weird and disconnected as evidence of being abusive to Dina given that he’s consistently made it damn clear to her that he’s not interested. Seriously, am I forgetting something here? HOW is the Mike in It’s Walky in any way an unsympathetic victim?
because he frowns a lot and isn’t a cute girl like dina, so by all laws and charters we should be happy with what happens to him, riiiiiiight?
yeah, I have to agreee with you here; mike may have been intended to be the lovable asshole character, ut it never shows through in Its Walky, so it makes this whole storyline sit poorly with me since DIna’s pretty much getting praised for enslaving another human being and that person’s being treated like a monster for… not wanting to be a slave
I remember him kicking children, trying to sacrifice Joyce’s puppy, and some other stuff. In a less evil but still assholish level, I remember him eating Joyce’s happy meal toys and hiding Jason’s tea cups from him. I’m not entirely sure at which level sleeping with Anti-Joyce just to fuck with her goes, but he did that too. All of that is what leads me to say that Mike is an unsympathetic victim.
But again, that’s not my point. Dina’s actions are reprehensible in and of themselves, even if her victim was history’s greatest monster.
You know what bothers ME most in this storyline? It’s that it perpetuates the horrible kindergarten rom-com views of Twu Wuv as “rejecting whatever makes you most uniquely you” and “any reaction is proof of attraction and the more extreme and abusive the reaction the more sincere the attraction.”
I know that Willis was a LOT younger, and these tropes are pretty ubiquitous in our society, but, well … the Jason / Sal and Danny / Billie [and, to a certain extent, Leslie / Robin at least at first ] are pretty much based on these as well.
Mike kicks kids in this universe, Dina can do what she wants to him
Joyce committed murder in this universe.
Again, the problem is what Dina did, not who she did it to.
“You know what bothers me most about this storyline? It’s how for everyone in SEMME, Dina’s actions either get a pass or aren’t considered wrong at all.”
Not everyone. Walky said that what she was doing was really wrong, only to be told “It’s only Mike.”

“Not even Sal” – why is Sal the one expected to be better with emotions on this group?
…Mike is abusive to dina?
you have noticed she’s kept him in a drug induced cycle of rape and slavery for weeks now, riiiiiiiight walky?
goddangit, can we get danny back in here now
Not rape, she wouldn’t take advantage of him while intoxicated in that regard. She kidnapped him and kept him hostage while forcibly drugged, Danny will be back as soon as this heavy stuff is out of his way.
Yes because kidnapping and mind-altering drugs are SO much better.
She made someone who’s perpetually angry angrier at her specifically. That means she wins.
If Dina defeated Mike, then those soggies don’t stand a chance! Long Live Shortpacked!
