You have to understand, it's not her fault, she has the word affliction ever possible for a videogame character, a traumatic backstory.

Past trauma does not justify present evil. You can understand wickedness (and make no mistake, what Lt. Calhoun did to Felix was very wicked, very cruel). But one should never commend it or encourage it.

Could someone who's seen the movie recently enough to remember remind us what Calhoun did to Felix that was so "wicked" and clearly deserving of holding a grudge? I don't remember her doing anything that bad, and Felix clearly didn't hold whatever it was against her.

Considering who these comments belong to, I'm ready to just assume whatever he's talking about is bullshit, but I'd be interested in having more context.

It sounds like they're talking about when Felix called her a "dynamite gal," which set off a PTSD flashback of her fiancée (who also often called her a "dynamite gal") being eaten by a Cy-Bug on their wedding day because she didn't do a perimeter check. This flashback is shown immediately after Felix accidently sets her off, so we know why she suddenly tells him to leave as it happens. Felix didn't deserve that, but calling Calhoun's reaction abusive, let alone evil, is a huge stretch.

And for all we know, she may have apologized offscreen.

It's possible I need to see the movie again but, I remember her leaving him out in the middle of nowhere, where he very likely could've have been devoured by those bugs running loose. Or died of starvation and thirst or simply gotten lost forever in the system, never to be seen or heard from again.

I would've understood had she angrily told him, "Don't ever call me that! I know you don't mean anything by it, but I can't stand it! Don’t push me on this!"

And if Felix had stubbornly, relentlessly pressed the issue, well, then his punishment would have been far more justified. Disproportionate, yes but, it would have been more his fault because he refused to heed her warning.

But, she didn't even give him the courtesy of a warning, not even a warning delivered with gritted teeth. Instead, she ejected him from her vehicle with unrighteous fury and deserted him, like a little kid being dumped in the most dangerous part of town, where all the psychopaths and murderers dwell.

And all for what? A freaking compliment delivered with the utmost adoration and love? Ohhh yeah, what a sweetheart. I hope I marry a lady like this one someday.

"And for all we know, she may have apologized offscreen."

And what was so disgusting about her apology it needed to be censored and handled offscreen?

"I'm so sorry for what I did to you back there, Felix. You were just being your sweet, adorable self and I treated you so horribly. I can't believe I was so mean to you, you could've been killed out there, please forgive me."

This is what Pixar was trying to protect their child audience from? What the ever-loving eff!

She doesn't have PTSD anymore than Ralph is a villain. The event never happened, it's all fiction, and she knows it.

^- Incels when they encounter a Short King.

Despite my errm “less then pleasant” introduction to her seeing her normally she’s super cute :Heart:

Who would be the spy?

Huh...

I think this is talk about the West Papuan Conflict which has continued since 1960s.

iirc, this was based on Take Yutaka's interview after Takarazuka Kinen that he said McQueen likes Ikuno and was being a shy and meek when he was around her.

do correct me if I was wrong. :DogeKek:

Yeah. Also Nase Fumino is effectively Yutaka's counterpart in the CinGray verse, so this is pretty much genderswapped Take Yutaka saying her IRL line.

McQueen already appeared in CinGray so I'm just waiting for her to join Fumi-tan's team.

Twenty years…where has the time gone?

Even to this day, people prefer the good ol cute and smol Nanoha (and Fate)

It's the White Devil herself.

Man, has it really been that long?

And I who just started re-watching it the other day.

Farewell, my dear Watson. Until we meet again!

As puns go, my humor-o-meter says this is roughly on the level of "pigeon shitting on the edge of a rusty wheelbarrow".
Unless there's a reference I missed, of course.

I thought it was autism for 30 days now?

Well considering the Last Supper, two people died after it was over, I too wouldn't want Supper to end.

Best Friends for Life..... think on that.

The guy with the blue and white costume under Venom is called Cardiac. Pretty sure this is the first and only art of him on Danbooru.

Don't know how to make new tags myself, but if anyone wants to add him, feel free.
