“It was just a dream” and “you are dead” are such cheap tricks for storytelling. Annoying.
The strip is written by Rebecca Sugar; she thrives in cheap storytelling. To her excuse, this is from 2010.
But I like this art style.
Well it wasn’t a dream we see that from the beginning, and we know she is going to die because there’s no way to survive that. So we know she’s going through some last minute coping to die somewhat happy, it’s not a cheap annoying trick in actuality. However, if you take it as cheap that’s fine too
It is overused. That’s what makes it cheap.
almost as overused as the complaining about it
Somebody has never taken mythology.
Spoiler Alert: Every story ever told has been told 1000 times before. Its the natural consequence of being part of a species that has had language for 12000 years and is obsessed with storytelling. What matters is the execution, not how unique the idea is.
I took it as hallucinations due to oxygen deprivation ¯\(ツ)/¯
This is pretty much the plot of Lost.
Spoiler for the movie Gravity:
In Gravity, George Clooney’s character wasn’t her husband and it was he who drifted away. But other than that, it’s a pretty common interpretation that this is the same thing that happened to Sandra Bullock’s character. That she died and the ending on Earth was her already being dead. This comic is basically a summary of the movie.
Wait, what? Bullock’s character is actually dead in Gravity? I’ve been watching that movie way too literally. Kinda messes with her character’s arc though, if she karks it halfway through.
Oh hey, this comic is by Rebecca Sugar, creator of Steven Universe! They have some interesting comics, like Don’t Cry For Me I’m Already Dead
Thank you and curse you for introducing me to this.
Rough that she’s named “Chubby Mary”. Even if there was another Mary on the ship, ya coulda gone to surnames.
Her parents kinda predestined her with that name.
Have you ever met a girl named Chastity?
Predetermination doesn’t work.
First name Chubby, last name Mary.
fuck
I think we have different understandings of what constitutes a happy ending
My massage parlor also has a different understanding of what constitutes a happy ending.
But how did you survive the explosion of Namek?
…Muffin button.
