Anyone else note that after Costa goes on his rant about how (let me just quote here, it’s still better than any exaggeration I could make) “They don’t get hungry, they don’t get tired, they don’t have women, they don’t have relationships that they value, because they don’t have females that they can love, maybe brotherly love but how, they don’t have parents?”
We get MTMTE, written by a fan who goes way back, and focuses on
-Relationships (without them needing to be familial or romantic)
-Spirituality
-Aging
-character-specific life choices
-Thirst for adventure, camaraderie, and finding yourselfAll without compromising them being robotic or immortal. If anything, I think MTMTE touches upon their age and lifespan the MOST. Now we’re seeing religions based around robot anatomy and history, and relationships that seem to be as deep of those of life-partners but without the sexual intimacy (Chromedome and Rewind, looking at you). Nothing about it feels “manufactured” or out of place. It feels like damned good writing that’s fun, humorous, and suspenseful.
I think what I love most about this is that this is the second time I’ve seen a long term devoted fan taking over a comic series and making it way better.
