Jenny and Ted discuss Extermination 8.7.
Episode Notes:
- This revelation to the Undersiders had to happen, actually
- Why did Tattletale go along with the lie?
- We think better of some of these heroes than Taylor
- Legend is someone who cares about optics
- Turns out Armsmaster is a shameless hypocrite with a lot of reasons to hate Taylor
- Jenny is still rooting for the Amy / Taylor friendship
- The meaning behind the hero and villain labels
- Armsmaster as a foil for Taylor
- There's a reason Miss Militia and Legend believe Tattletale's story -- and a reason the Undersiders believe Tattletale's
- Armsmaster's downfall made this chapter so much more palatable than it would've been
- The arm is a metaphor
- The power of teen sass
- Worm is dark and gritty and still gives us the occasional escapist fantasy
- The potential for a future Undersiders reconciliation
- Hard to see where the story goes from here
- Each cape’s personality matters a lot
- Where are our post-battle pamphlets?
- Jenny still feels like they should be better at this Endbringer thing
- You’re not paranoid if they’re really out to get you
- Jenny's dreams of Taylor outing Shadow Stalker
- The challenge of reclaiming straying heroes
- We're glad they see the value in Taylor and the Undersiders
- Jenny distrusts Taylor's Emma theories. Fortunately she has her own
- Taylor is back to her Arc 1 self (she’s been through a lot!)
- The power of friendship (only takes her so far)
- Hero and villain as social roles
- Lisa is the best improv artist
- Choices that are false choices
- Look, everybody should read Worm!
