Grrl Power #575 – Born again?
“But Dave,” you might ask, “didn’t Cooter literally explode?”
Well, yes, but you know, it’s a superhero comic with a little supernatural stuff thrown in, so the possibility space is… wider.
Not sure how Sydney assessed that Cooter was a hillbilly that quickly. I guess just assume he’s got that drawl which is hard to actually write into a word bubble, unlike a French or Boston accent.
Sorry if it’s a little hard to decipher some of the panels. Turns out drawing people and feet covered in red in front of walls covered in red makes the foreground and background a little muddled in places, but I think this should be the last page that happens on. At least until Maxima gets most of her clothes burned off then has a fist fight with someone in a vat of molten gold or something. Again, wide possibility space.
This page colored by Keith.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. $1 and up, but feel free to contribute as much as you like.
SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
He’s alive!
I have to admit, I did NOT see that one coming.
Why not? Do you suffer from genre blindness?
By which I mean it was obvious that the obnoxious jerk would come back from certain death just to annoy us all; it was just a question of how.
However, sure, admittedly this may not have been the most anticipated means by a long shot.
i’m so happy cooter survived :D
He plays his role as the persistent annoyance quite well, doesn’t he?
screw that, i think cooters awsome in his own right :D
Noooooooo! He is NOT meant to be a role-model!
*cries*
I did not feel it to be a genre cliche, because he came across as a red-shirt. After all he was hired purely to be sacrificed. Plus he had no cool powers, abilities or redeeming characteristics which would warrant reviving him.
However, now that he is back, and in Maxima’s presence, I do see some interesting dynamics between the two.
Maxima and Cooter, sitting in a tree, k i s s i n g.
he has no cool powers… that we are aware of.
I mean, apparently he regenerates/reincarnates. Or else this is actually Wyrmill, possessing his body/form for regrowth purposes.
i doubt they’s be kissing, they’re not cousins
I’m glad to admit I did NOT see that coming. :-) It’s a good sign if a writer can surprise his readers.
I agree. Also, I was just thinking: From a storytelling standpoint this makes sense. If Dave’s goal is to give our heroes a witness to the heist while keeping them in the dark about Deus’ involvement it HAD to be Coot who survived because he was the only one out of it when Deus showed up.
Oddly, my second or third thought after he exploded was, “I wonder if the blood-reconstitution trick he used to ‘port in will pull him back together.” I then dropped it as not really worth thinking about. I guess I was wrong to do that!
That’s where my mind went once I saw him alive. The effect must have worked just long enough to pull him together, but pulled him together after everything went down, and close enough to the authorized entry for the death field to not hit him.
Lots of lucky timing for the good guys.
Not especially surprised that he came back. A bit surprised it happened that fast.
I’m the only one who said he’s probably not dead…
Technically, he was dead…But he got better. We should all be so lucky, but in his case it means bad luck for us & Archon, I think; we still have to deal with him…
A couple of others did too, including Pander. Not to detract from your foresight mind, that was indeed a good call.
A key distinction though, for what is surprising here, is that nobody declared that they thought the trail, leading from half of Wyrmil’s corpse, would end in finding Cooter.
True, true :)
Grrl Power #575: The Return of Cooter. Grrl Power #600: Cooter strikes back?
How is Sydney commenting on the shots after getting Konged by Ingy, also FIRST :D
The mini comic below the page is non-canon, as they’ve always been.
Not so much as Non-Canon as they are to help give extra insight to the Characters and story
LordViking is right on their official status. This is to allow totally wacky things to be put in there. Although Dave has occasionally indicated that he simply did not have the time or space to fit in something that he wanted in the body of the page.
In practice though, once you set aside the clearly ludicrous comedy, most of the mini-comics do fit in very well with the story, characters and canon. To the extent that I treat them as canon, although you do have to be flexible in contextualising them. Some may be something which happened earlier or later than the current scene.* I cannot think of any which do not fit in well with the canon.
Rather it often builds upon it, and subsequent scenes remain true to the information or (as you say) the character development revealed in the mini-comic.
* For instance when we had one where Arianna was giving a code word, to indicate that Maxima had left Archon HQ and was on her way to the bank. Something like that would have had to have happened in the organisation of the staged robbery, and it will have happened prior to us first seeing Maxima, let alone the page it actually appeared under.
The comedy, in that scene, coming from Maxima overhearing the phrase, without realising what Arianna was up to. As with any comedy, in the comic or mini-comic, we should not over-analyse it. In reality Arianna probably would not stand that close. But without a touch of the surreal there is less scope for laughs.
One that might not fit with canon is when mini-Sydney commented on Dabbler wearing a tube top during her science commentary on page #517, since that conversation only works if Dabbler was really giving exposition behind a frame that cut her off below the chest.
Though I agree most of the mini comics can be seen as happening between panels or at other moments in time, not necessarily right after the last panel of the page.
Commentary is a this-side-of-the -4th wall activity in itself. Whilst the information that Dabbler is providing is canon, Dabbler did not take up a commentating role in the actual setting. So Dave is just playing with the ludicrous nature of ‘what would happen if Sydney saw Dabbler doing this?’
Therefore this falls into the category of things that we should exclude from consideration, as I mentioned:
And, in this case, probably said during de-briefing (put your pants back on Major)
I consider it “elsetime” for it’s somewhere else and at another time.
Watch where you land Syd. You’ll wake up sticky.
Is this pure hillbilly, hillbilly with a hint of anti defence system explosives or hillybilly with Wyrm regenerating inside him ready to burst forth from his chest like an alien?
I reckon Wyrmilly…
A “I hate everyone” hillbilly, combined with regenerating alien/monster, combined with magic residue, combined with fragmented alien and hypertech defenses.
We just got ourselves a primary antagonist.
And that, students, is one way that the Mad Thaumaturgist (the magical version of the Mad Scientist) can a create super-villain from any ordinary (or sub-ordinary) human subject.
MY guess is on pure dead hilbilly that had an artifact land on him, reviving him and giving him superpowers
I’d guess from the glowy white eyes Coot’s not quite normal anymore… That and the whole “reassembled from being chunky salsa’d” thing.
Not so much glowy white eyes, as much as blind as a coot
But then, how did he know to call them ‘freaks’ and ‘monsters’?
Because they are in The Vault? o_O
Not really glowy blind white eyes as he has pin prick eyes from excitement.
looks the same as his eyes here.
https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2630
Well, at least Coot’s fat belly stopped Sydney from seeing his dick. That said it seems to be a bit on the small side, maybe that’s why Coot’s so angry.
But Coot is a dick. Sydney could see that.
*covers Sydney’s eyes*
[prepares to grab a hankie, in the event of a nosebleed]
I’d suggest a bucket instead.
Try to remember she’s seen the supers half naked around the pool and some of the time mostly naked. She will not need a bucket.
Considering the condition of the vault in general, a bucket is too late to do any good…
Please don’t let that be an anime reference.
Indirectly, given that the pool-side nosebleed was a clear anime nosebleed reference.
Although one that does actually have a genuine medical basis (if only for a few individuals who are sustainable to nosebleeds in certain highly emotional situations).
I like how she’s composed enough to use the lighthook to poke Cooter’s foot.
Try to remember her previous terms for it.
My money’s on Deus’s group rez’d hillbilly butt’er face as a scapegoat for them even being there. That way the only positive ID is one Sciona’s group. Because hey, when you have a positive ID on the lead perpetrators why would you look for other’s pulling the same heist?
That makes far too much sense. Deus: “Sciona wants to be a dick about our unexpected arrival? Fine, I’m MUCH better at playing that game. Where’s that Regenator?”
And given that Coot was rendered unconscious, he wouldn’t be able to identify anyone in Deus’s group besides Cthillia and even then they can’t necessarily get a real ID on her anyway as they could recharge the knife possibly by the time that they could track them down to even try.
He wasn’t rendered unconscious, he was rendered atwain into itty-bitty Hillybilly chunks
Hillybilly Chunks – part of a nutritious breakfast.
Maybe he is Cooter “Chunk” Norris?
Also, Cthillia’s face was under wraps.
Nice thinking. If that is correct, Deus is an adaptable evil mastermind – more and more dangerous.
+1 each to both of you.
Did Coot and Wyrmil merge? Wyrmcoot? Earthworm hillbilly with a shotgun? I could not dream up such a combo on moonshine and chocomilk (One of the worlds most disgusting coctails, AKA the Brain Flattener)
I’m kind of hoping for a merger. The two did seem to get along. Well, relatively speaking.
Well Sci-Fright did lie and betray each of them individually. Now they can get revenge together.
Ugh! A match made in Hell. As if Cooter wasn’t enough of a slimy worm before he got into the vault…
It’s not actual moonshine without that hint of fusel oil promising horrible aftereffects later.
Ah, yes…Genuine ancient Rocket Bourbon. “The real stuff.”
Possibly, now extend the thought: If Coot and Wyrmil merged they are either a supernatural or a super. If they are part of the supernatural council, someone is likely to (attempt to) kill the stupid a**hole almost as soon as he opens his mouth. So they might push him towards the supers. Here’s the real brain bleach concept: Cootwyrm joins ARC.
Just because you are a non-human, it doesn’t automatically get you a spot on the council. Sciona didn’t get a chair at the last meeting.
Sciona is also a condemned criminal of some sort. Probably as a result of breaking one of their many laws.
No, she was a condemned criminal, and her execution was carried out, not her fault they failed
Actually, it is her fault they failed. She totally did not disclose that she could sew her decapitated head onto the body of a “volunteer”.
Air quoted, because we now know of Sciona’s propensities and may reasonably suspect that the organ donor was of sound body and mind hole just before making the donation.
There used to be an interesting quirk/tradition in that if you tried to execute somebody three times, but failed each time, then the individual was automatically released!
This stemming back to trial by combat* in the belief that the victor must have God on their side, and thereby have been fighting for a just cause. In this case translating to ‘man has tried to kill this person three times but God has intervened, because they are innocent’.
So if that ‘almost decapitation’ was a third attempt, Sciona may need to be retroactively pardoned, if the Council hold to that tradition. But would still be culpable for her subsequent crimes.
* As opposed to trial by ordeal, which had the opposing view (but only due to the suspicion of witchcraft), that survival would be attributed to intervention by the Devil (or other dark magics).
Earthwork Hillbilly Jim. Don’t go messin’ with a hybrid country boy.
Jeez. “EarthworM Hillbilly Jim”.
I’m assuming Wyrmil merged with the cooter chunks in order to survive and now they both survived as a symbiotic form.
Either that or Cooters going to die again when Wyrmil busts out of his head, chest, or stomach.
Easy there, Quato.
Ooh you too eh?
What a great mind you have!
*wags tail humbly*
As for the last bit, yes please!
*wags tail approvingly*
That would make some kind of sense…A mostly-dead Wyrmil, desperate for protein material to fuel his regenerating mass would likely see Cooter’s remains as a buffet-feast. Also, regardless of Cooter’s status of overall physical health, most of his remains would still have a lingering amount of cellular-level life energy.
Combine a desperately-hungry regenerating creature with the still-living human remains & voila! Sydney gets an unwanted eyeful of Cooter’s Wyrm(il).
Wait, so when did Sciona or Deus revise the defense golem? If there was a death field filling up the room then Deus had no time and Sciona just grabbed a thing and left.
I wondered the same thing last page (not sure if I wrote it down as a comment though).
My guess it happened somewhere between getting through the portal and setting up the laser to get through the door.
In theory, the field would only envelop that room and not the lobby. Deus says as much and in theory, stopping it at the vault door could be as simple as blocking the door off with some kind of actual physical shield.
Actually the defense golem was three rooms back behind (in front of) the giant steel cog door which was through the room of BLOOD! Because there was room with the items, the atrium (room of BLOOD!) and then the big cog door so none of Sciona or Deus’s crew actually had to deal with it.
So someone decided to open the giant cog door to get at the golem of bones and adjust it just to mess with whoever eventually came to check in (sounds like Deus)… or it was just mad
Am I the only one who would pay to see that fist fight described in the commentary?
Maybe Coot’s real name is Jim…
Which Jim would that be?
EarthWyrmil Jim of course!
Knee Buckler 2.0!
Jimmy joe bob
My guesses for how Coot can still be here.
1) That is not Coot but Wyrmil using Coot’s form as a disguise (or the two merged somehow).
2) Coot is a super with regeneration / respawn powers that regrew within Wyrmil and burst out while the dismembered Wyrmil was crawling to safety.
“Uggh, death field filling the room? Must grab the regenerator and crawl out to use it in the room filled with hillbilly wallsplatter. Nothing can go wrong with this.”
There was a Lazarus Scalpel in the vault, so that might have seen some use. Might have needed Wyrmil’s body for the biomass, so that explains that…
Possible, but I’m thinking he’s a super with death-recovery.
“I’ve had a lot of close calls. Doctors keep thinking I’m havin’ a heart attack, but it turns out fine. I stopped going to doctors after that happened the fourth time.”
Nope. You died. But recovered. That’s how you recovered from exploding. Sciona knew this somehow, and that’s why you were used. Personality unimportant; your power was useful. But he doesn’t realize he’s a super and who would bother telling him?
Yeah, I’m thinking he regenerates, but is too hickish to realize it. “Dumb doctors don’t know that you can just lick your wounds and they go shut. Shows what their city medicine is worth…”
I’m totally with you on this one. He may perhaps have angered a feminine Deity, who cursed him with -“scapegoat” so that when a Villain needs someone to send on a suicide mission, Cooter has usually just joined the team
– “endlessly clueless” so he can not detect the flaws in the plan that will get him killed
-and “regeneration” to the “unlimited” level so he can at the long last learn to treat women right
too bad it has misfired, as he is too stupid to learn, and instead awake repeatedly from what he now sees as a very nasty wound that will mend in its own time
now his power makes him able to be exploded, burned, dismembered, disintegrated and pipe-smoked, he will just be back in a few hours
heh
What do you mean, MOST of her clothes.
That’s something for the DA age gated pages, but Maxima’s force field does protect her clothes (and modesty) to some extent.
Hmmm, maybe they should put Sydney through some training to resist vampire “force suggestion.”
We’ll start the training with: “White Chicks was AMAZING…”
“Bitches love cannons!”
That’s… not something you can learn, and even Maxi would have had to work to overcome the suggestion, like she did against the NotBot at the Wars Factory
I assume that people have the ability to resist such powers if they just train themselves too.
Can’t imagine that would ever work. Look how she behaves with Barkly. Simply due to race (actually vampire isn’t a race. It’s a status abnormality.) she’d go out of her way to be affected.
Cooter almost said Jesus H. Christ.
(An homage’ to the recent passing (to him..future!) passing of Hugh Hefner.)
We all know Jesus’ middle name actually is Howard.
I don’t where the ‘H’ cam from. But it’s not in The Bible!
Jesus’ middle name is Hallow.
Our father who art in Heaven.
Jesus’ middle name is Hallow.
Our father who art in Heaven…
The science-based version says it was “Haploid”
I don’t know the validity of this.
But I do know his first name was Yeshua, not Jesus.
It’s a genetic-inheritance pun…I doubt it’s supposed to have any validity.
Still it would be interesting to dig out the spear of Longinus and do some tests. It would be interesting to see what God’s DNA looked like (in whole or in part). I bet it will be encrypted.
If you stretch it out, put it sideways, and put it as an overlay on a music sheet, it says “ba dum tss”.
I think the “jesus hefner america christ” paints the fact that hes a hillbilly pretty well
Yups, was just about to type that, but tend to read the comments first, incase someone had the same idea
Same here. Even if we had not seen Coot in this comic before the dialogue in panel 6 would be a dead giveaway.
He only bought the books to read the articles…
Wait, if Crim is Irish, why did she say tequila? o_O
Yeah, jägerbomb would make more sense.
Jägermeister is German though…
Yeah, but in Ireland, ppl take shots of that instead of tequila.
The Irish reputation is not “instead of” but rather “as well as”.
In the year and half I lived in Cork, Ireland, I never saw a single bottle of tequila.
Ahh, so you did your drinking in the dark. Gotcha.
“Mike maintains that people who drink in caves are unstable, so he keeps his Place about as well-lit as you would your living room.”
~Jake Stonebender
;)
Been in belfast since 6 month now, Tequila is as common as whiskey and beer. Also Jagerbombs are common even in Korea.
They always come in groups then.
Irish-American. We drink just as much as our distant cousins do, but we don’t drink the *same* things. And tequila… ah, tequila. How I miss being young enough to drink you irresponsibly.
Alcohol is alcohol.
And, according to Chemistry, alcohol IS a solution…
Nope, not difficult to figure out what is happening, only thing was, initially thought Coot had transparent skin and we were seeing his toe and foot bones in panels two and four
Well, while is true that the Irish love to drink, they can’t handle their alcohol well (at least southern Irish don’t). Talking about a huge disappointment.
Beware of making sweeping statements that you cannot substantiate, you will often come a cropper. Whilst there are a few ethnic groups which do have a genetic low tolerance to alcohol, the Irish are not amongst them.
hey, I’m just talking of what I personally witnessed. But I do have to say this about the Irish: even drunk enough that they can’t walk in a straight line, they can still sing like angels!
Ahh, but I have drunk with Irish who can hold their liquor. What you are describing is just the usual variability within a population, as opposed to being a racial characteristic.
Plus nobody is immune to alcohol. So if you happen to be in with a crowd who are determined to get legless, then they will do so. But that is distinct from ‘not being able to hold your drink’.
I worked with one English guy who’s limit was (literally) a half pint of beer. And even on that he was an almost-out-of-control drunk. One time ending up calling in to work, half way through the following morning, to ask if someone could call the railway company and tell them that he was stuck on a train in a siding, next to Gatwick airport!
He only lived one stop away from where we had been drinking. But slept through his stop, and the crew failed to spot him before locking up and leaving the train.
The Irish, and the Scots, have a genetic tolerance to alcohol.
Throw in plenty of practice and you handle even more before you lose the ability to walk and gain the desire to take a traffic cone home with you.
Baby, you can direct MY traffic ANY TIME!
Agreeing on this part, compared to japanese/korean salarymen, irish people I have met are only at the beginner level of drinkers.
Considering that Sciona is a blood mage, Sydney and crew are lucky all of the present gore isn’t enchanted to attack them or similar.
They got off easy with a possibly indestructible hillbilly monster hunter.
Shh! Don’t put a jinx on things!
*eyes popping and hair standing on end*
The blood IS enchanted to attack them… via reconstituted hick.
Since it had not been mentioned yet: it could be Vampire blood, maybe even infections at that. Also why Cooter survived, as a vampire.
Hey Dave,don’t forget the southern accent and Texas accent there. :D
Sydney can see that Cooter is a redneck just extrapolated.
He was extrapolated all over the walls, not so long ago.
Now he’s a red-everything.
OK nobody called Cooter. Well amongst the readership, anyhow. Has someone or something summoned him? Getting back up after being killed 20 times over and splattered across the walls is not normal human behaviour!
Yeah, I was definitely expecting a li’l Wyrmling.
Um I did I believe. Way back when he exploded.
Yea, several did. But not in relation to this scene, with the half-Wyrmil corpse.
Mmm, I wonder if things are not as they seem? Could Wyrmil’s regeneration have involved making use of whatever matter happened to be around, and he ended up closer to Cooter bits than his own? Is this a Wyrmil/Cooter hybrid?
The Gods stepped in to reassemble Cooter, allowing for the “Deus Ex Machina” pun.
But it does seem a little…. awkward, or illogical, or reaching, which is unusual for Dave’s usual work. I guess having somebody around to interrogate might help the story along, but Dave, you’re going to have to have a pretty good explanation as to how ol’ Cooter got put back together in working order, or it ain’t gonna work. Otherwise, it’s: I’m Sorry, Dave, But I’m Afraid I Can’t Buy That.
I was also going to say Cooter got put back together without permanent brain damage after being exploded and the the brain cells being cut off from oxygen, but come to think of it, with Cooter you might not be able to tell if there’s been brain damage.
How can we explain it?
We have the extra living in the group (eg vampires.) We just had someone replace their body with a knife. We had people walk through walls using blood and other powers. Not forgetting the talk of a knife called Lazarus, which is about raising the dead.
Sure, I can explain it.
Magic.
Yes, but why Coot instead of Wyrmie? Who we saw the remains of and a slithery path leading away from said remains…
Wyrm could use that Lazarus scalpel to bring back Coots as a host to regenerate inside of, and to sneak past initial detection. Coots would probably be stuffed in a normal holding cell, or, at least, not one tuned to hold back Wyrm’s abilities.
sure, magic. but magic doesn’t “just happen”
someone had to do magic. so now the questions are “who” and “why”.
Trivially, actually.
He was already enchanted to be turned into blood. He had not dismissed that effect before he exploded. When enough of him gathered together again in a pool in the bottom of the room he reformed, again. This must have happened close enough to them entering for the use of the proper entry procedure to turn off the death field. It’s a small window, but possible. This makes him an unplanned witness.
The other options (yes, plural) involve him being a fake, or a fall guy. If he’s a fake, somebody used an artifact and his body and is pretending to be him as a distraction, this includes wurm being a regenerator that consumed enough hillbilly to end up in that form temporally. The other option is similarly setup, but has an artifact used on him before the bad guys depart in order to make him take the blame, on the assumption that he didn’t see enough to be dangerous to the plot.
Yeah, but where are his clothes? And Betty-Sue (his shotgun)
That would have required extra work.
Enchanted to be turned into blood? uhm… no, he got potion, that turned him into a bomb.
You say “if enough of him gathers”, but we can clearly see the walls are still covered in blood, so whatever did it, had to have pulled the extra mass out of nowhere. The knife had been shown to do that, but we don’t know if it “restores” missing parts, or generate a replacement. If its the latter some necromancy would be required to pull his soul from beyond, since memories are not genetic (or at least we can’t read them).
Also, what do you mean by “not dismissed the effect”? This is not a game where you right click the icon to remove a status effect that is no longer beneficial (and he is not a wizard).
I am guessing we will get calls for a vote incentive on this. I will put my vote in for an A-Team pyjama party instead. A pillow fight will provide many opportunities for close examination to determine what belongs to whom. Not to mention the possibility of wardrobe malfunctions!
The door might get knocked off, for instance.
Why not both? ;)
Because Maxima is not a member of the A-team. She is several leagues below that. Plus there would be a health and safety enquiry into why there was a pool of molten gold at a slumber party!
I thought it was already a vote incentive but it turns out it was the 2016 valentines day picture.
On Dave’s Deviant Art
But what is Maxima doing in that seventh panel? I can’t decide if she’s recoiling in horror (which doesn’t strike me as likely from our beloved Gold Standard Commander), reaching around Crimson, possibly in comfort (except she doesn’t need it either), or something else I just cannot fathom.
She might be expecting Cooter to attack.
Yeah, looked like she was getting into position for any possible conflict
I took it as: she was still in the process of walking up and made a face of disgust. She might be a professional, but she has show that she sometimes displays genuine reactions before she is able to get them under control.
Nothing. Like, the author has made it pretty clear that the general explanation of ‘why doesn’t Maxima just constantly use super speed to hand everything before it interacts with the rest of the comic’ is that she chooses not to. She lets people talk.
It looks like she’s pushing off the post with her left hand.
Dave, you forgot the last panel. Maxima glances down at a sleeping Sydney, looks over to Ingsol, and says “Can you teach me how to do that with her?”
Anyone else get a very “tucker and dale vs evil” vibe from this?
that’s a great movie.
No, but that’s because everyone around didn’t die and he get blamed for it because the truth of the matter is just plain insane.
And I LOVE that movie. Seen it at least a dozen times now… wait not now. NOW (watches again)
Oh and watch Todd & the Book of Pure Evil. Same extremely funny vibe.
Well its not many outside of the hillbilly demographic who use phrases like sam hill. He was one “in tarnation” away from being told to dial it down a notch lol.
It is possible that there was something in the vault that was able to bring Coot back and was used say about 99 times on him in order to recharge the Epimorph…
Sydney, seriously — before you poke the thing that might not be (and, as it happens, isn’t) dead, put your shield up. If that had been something with a better turn of speed than a gore-slicked revenant hillbilly, things could have gone *really badly*. Go Ingsol, though.
I keep hearing Cooter’s voice like Wrath’s from Ben 10. (The giant angry tiger form.) Which also sounds like a higher-pitched, more angry Bender. Not sure if it’s the same VA or not.
Rath voice actor: Dwight Schultz
Bender voice actor: John DiMaggio
Since Sidney’s now asleep, would producing a marker pen be to childish?
damn needs an edit function (Sydney not Sidney)
And *too not *to.
But I get it! And no, I don’t think anything is too childish around Sydney.
Cooter lives! I knew he would! Woo! You cant keep a hillbilly down!
or in a blender.
He is just exhibiting his own super-power called “the South will rise again!” (not sure how many times he can do it though)
Put another on the list of weaknesses for El Sid, she’s weak minded enough to be easily put down by vampires.
Better put over half the world’s population down then: there are very few strong willed enough to withstand a Vampiric command, and that includes Maxi
“Your will is stronk, Van Helsing”
*produces cross*
“Indeed!”
*hiss*
And I thought Cooter was gone for sure. :)
My guess is that his resurrection was not intentional. Doesn’t make sense to leave a witness behind
If you’re hiding, you’re afraid.
If you’re in the open, you are confident enough (whether you can back it up or not) to take on whatever comes at you.
Cooter is a calling card, left behind intentionally to laugh at the council. “You think you stopped me? Guess what? I’m BACK and now I’ve got your artifacts, and taking me down the first time was nearly impossible for you when it was just me.”
And I thought Cooter was gone for sure. :)
My guess is that his resurrection was not intentional. He was a sacrificial pawn to begin with and I doubt that Deus would see any value in him being alive.
That leaves my bet on regenerator shenanigans.
Naked Maxima fighting Concretia who made a body out of the gold bullion in Billion-Tons-of-Gold guy’s basement.
We can have that fight be a scene in a movie. The plot revolves around plan to raid bullion guy’s vault. His trademark is that he has a life sized wildebeest in his office made from some of his stash; so the movie can be called “The man with the golden gnu”.
I don’t gnu if that is a good idea.
now, you absolutely HAVE to do a”Maxima gets most of her clothes burned off then has a fist fight with someone in a vat of molten gold” scene …
She can fight mutant bling fish!
I’m guessing Wormil took Coot’s body as a host for his own survival, which ended up reviving Coot as well.
Heh. Snap! You beat me to it, but pretty much what I just typed in a reply above.
Coot is going to be really unhappy to know that someone is living inside him…
Not just someone, but a full-on monster!
Which, just like a werewolf, or Jekyll and Hyde, also makes Cooter a monster. It will be interesting to see how he takes that.
