#mtmteread love rung getting to be a liiiiittle bitchy at swerve.

#mtmteread i love him. also yeah that IS often what having ocd is like, can confirm, you get in a vehicle like 'what are the structural weaknesses i need to worry about for the next 30 minutes' unfortunately

#mtmteread pure fanservice, the good kind; gets in the way of nothing, tonally fine for a lighthearted issue, means the teens/kids reading have something easier to draw and cosplay. people who rag on this are haters, tbh, it's the place for it and it's fun.

#mtmteread this issue seems like classic filler, except of course for the part where it implicitly sets up swerve's entire arc. which is early mtmte in a nutshell.

#mtmteread payoff two: reversing the cause and effect of whirl's guilt induced good deed just has SUCH a different impact. making it a 'hold on a second now' twist stops it feeling trite, despite the in universe events being the same either way, and makes it work better imo.

#mtmteread not sure how well the pseudo-cinematography works tbh. But this is seeding a relationship which... it’s wild to think was originally only planned to go as far as RiL.

Like, til he sat down to write its last issue.

#mtmteread this feels like the moment the nonlinear storytelling was built for: the reversing of the 'whirl ain't so bad really' moment's cause and effect is what this issue builds to.

#mtmteread swerve is god's perfect schmuck. i do love the payoff being 'he was just being a dumbass', only for us to find out this is a bit of a misdirect and what happened to the others is a lot more pertinent.

#mtmteread 'god i can't believe my husband worries so much' *immediately does insane shit as an unarmed noncombatant*

i love him.

#mtmteread i LOVE this. tailgate committing so hard to the bit he won't give up faced with a bomb, and his sneaky use of rewind being the trivia guy who loves to explain shit to make it work. it's that very weird tailgate combo of anxiety and arrogance that makes him neat!
