never stop blowing up is so fun bc 99% of the time it’s near incomprehensible and high octane action and then every so often out of nowhere someone will make a character choice that sucker punches you in the gut. and then it’s back to the antics so fast you get whiplash

One thing I’m curious to see established in NSBU is whether or not the movie characters see themselves or not when talking from the reflections.

Did Vic Ethanol see himself or did he see a scrawny, scared Wendell who had no idea what to do? Did G13 see Usha, who had well established herself as not tech savvy at that point, and still encourage her when she went beyond?

Did Jack Manhattan make out with himself or not?

the what now. how do I play?

Yall i dont think im gonna be able to stop thinking about usha and g13, actually.

Ushas an old old woman, clueless with tech. Lived long enough to develop various bonds with a LOT of people and relies on them a lot for help. In turn, shes VERY loyal to her close conpanions (a great example would be how she tends to back paula up a LOT, the way she sets up russel and paula to 'fake date' wink and all). She's very warm and very emotionally intelligent even if she's a bit clueless sometimes. Her logic is borderline incomprehensible, but it has heart.

G13 on the other hand, is a hacking prodigy. Hes young, hes sought after for his skills for better and for worse. But in turn, he's essentially lost himself in the process. He may be able to scrape nuke codes, but he'll never make a friend. He lacks any loyalty for anyone and anything except for himself and his interests, and if they dont satisfy those two points, then its worth nothing to him. His logic may be sound, but its cold.

The whole G13/Usha thing is really making a home in my brain atm. How much of Usha is being destroyed by being two minds in one body? G13 is pushing her down and drowning her out now, so what's gonna happen when they get out, how much of her will be left? Will Usha be a shell of a person, still mentally absent like she is now becoming in G13? That's like a worst-case scenario but imagine. If that happens, I am going to cry. A lot. Usha is so adorable as a character and Rehka can do something devastating if she wants to. I almost expect her to, given her bit being so combative with Brennan. Oh, you want a fun no-consequences, action story? How about I erase the mind of the sweet grandma I gave everyone and scar every player at the table?

The dynamics in general between the action heroes and Lake Elsinore crew sharing bodies is so fun and I'm happy to see how they'e being explored and are different between each player. Vic and Wendell are teamed up and act as one sometimes. Jennifer is subtly helping Russell, but never overtaking him. Jack and Paula are so funny but equally helping each other especially in terms of the divorce. Dang is letting down Greg and is left alone and unsatisfied. Liv and Kingskin are still developing in my mind, but I love how Liv is kinda become comfortable being this hulking fridge of a man, a mob boss who holds hands with his lackey because Doug Meat is awesome and my everything.

I don't know how to end this, but NSBU has been so fun to watch each week and I really hope that we see some real character fuckery as the season begins coming to a close.
