I would've preferred that be handled a little better and the other pages be devoted towards other stuff perhaps related to exploring the ship more or focusing on one of the more surprising mutineers like Hound or Xaaron.
Otherwise? This issue was FRIGGIN' BRILLIANT.

The whipping boy comment was in reference to how the readership/author may see him, how he is treated by us, not his actual in story function/title.

Agreed.
As for this issue, he's being portrayed to make a point rather than cue off his previously rational though jerkass behavior.

No this is exactly how Getaway was in season two. When he was first reintroduced in season two he was pushing drinks in tailgates face and telling him everything he wanted to hear. A lot of people were saying they were getting rape like vibes in how he was treating and everyone was hoping Cyclonus would kill him for it. It wasn’t just a sly rational behavior, it was fully “something is going here” just like this.
It’s not a dream it’s a memeory. A looped memory what we saw is what happened. If it was a dream or something completely different why be so horrific? Instead of revealing what’s really going on it’d be more to sway them to joining.
If I dig through your earlier, longer post and this one, this is probably the one part that I would disagree with. For one, we know based on the Protectobots' conversation at the table that Mirage and First Aid would have been along with the Mutineers, at least in theory. Is Getaway lying to pry a wedge in his relationship with the others? Is he playing a game because he's hiding something from Prowl? Has Prowl given separate orders in between CW and this that we don't know about - especially considering he was in a combiner with Mirage and might have an understanding of how he feels about the situation? Are the Mutineers in Visages talking to First Aid following orders, or not wanting to hurt his feelings? Was the whole thing just "generally lie to them when they return and they'll probably get over it quickly and we can move on, and if not then we move in to harm them"? There's too much unknown - and you've pointed this out too, but I'm admittedly too caught up in the mystery to let this feeling take over to any significant capacity.Counterpunch wrote:The difference is that before, he was doing it because it served his (and the rest of the crew's view) of a greater good. This all seems to be an exercise in emphasizing he's a immoral shitlord.
