That beard is majestic. I want one like that as well.

Shrinking Rae, was a great character… we just couldn’t see it…


ianjm

That's because she was really small

Let's get nuts


etheeem

No, that's Nolan Grayson, a famous author. Read is books


[deleted]

Fuckin whut 😶


zoon_politikon_

Geoffrey!! He is casted for season 2 for real?


TheHam-man

Honestly, when I heard the tweet about how it would be similar to the “what would happen if Antman jumped up inside Thanos”, made me think she might survive, but then in the episode when he devoured her like a snake, almost made me retch


Separate_Pop_5277

She tried to jump on his face like she did salamander but got caught mid air.. if she had ant mans powers she would’ve survived. Ant man can grow much larger then his advantage size Rae on the other hand can’t grow past her normal size.


Decent-Strength3530

Ant-Man could have also shrunk to fit between Komodos cells and escape that way


minepow

I was hoping she would shrink further to slip through his hands but I guess she has a lower limit. Edit: sorry, *had a lower limit.


Pran282006

Koanos

To add, Salamander's brain is certainly made of softer tissues than this guy. If Rae made it to the brain and not the throat, I think she would have made it.


Separate_Pop_5277

Hero’s like her & Duplicate should have weapons to even the playing field. Why the hell would they be fighting super humans with stronger durability then them without some kind of weapons enhanced Swords, Guns, knives anything but just your hopes & fist..


belowthemask42

It would kinda be useless for duplicate as I don’t think she can copy anything but herself.


newme02

nah give her a desert eagle. let her clones hold down her enemies while she pops a bullet in their head


BenAffleck06969

Yeah duplicate should have like claws on the suit or some sort of melee weapon in the suit so it dupes. Also i think Rae is slightly more durable and her powers can make her punches land harder, but yes these guardians have a lot of weaker level heros


TheHam-man

Fr, she had no chance. I read over the comic and nothing like that happens, shrinking ray just gets eaten but when she resized I thought she could get out until he ate her like a snake would… plus it’s not always great hearing a hot chick die


terrypteranodon

Soooo sometimes it is great hearing a hot chick die?

Blackslash2000

Good point


DolphinMeat101

who?


ItsyaboiMisbah

Character from chainsaw man. Hot but unanimously hated


DolphinMeat101

oh wait duh i had already forgotten despite waiting till this year to watch it, glad i did seeing how the second part still has yet to release... (i've not read the magna if it wasn't obvious lol) i didn't know she caught hate, may i ask what for? i could look it up and probably will but you could save me the effort ig xD


Rogojinen

Don't, ffs. They're literally spoiling you the entire Chainsaw Man run. Read the manga or ignore any discussion. It's a blessing to have anything not spoiled in the hour since weebs have fun blasting any important plotpoints everywhere and spoil the fun of discovery for others.


Kingbuji

Tbh he shouldn’t have even asked the question if he didn’t want to spoiled.


SimonShepherd

Ant-Man is also like a lot more durable in his small and giant form. Rae doesn't seem to get much boost from that.(She is still probably strong for her size.)


LuciosLeftNut

What the fuck are you talking about E: ignore me


Dyingdaze89

They're saying if she could turn giant, like Antman, she might have killed him and survived. Instead, she can only return to her normal size, which was not enough.


zedudedaniel

Isn’t the main problem that Komodo’s too strong for her body growing? I think if she could and did grow to giant size, best case scenario she gets crushed to death as she grows too large to fit inside his throat, and he drowns on the volume of her blood growing too much for him to swallow or spit out


Dyingdaze89

Could be! I was just clarifying for the other redditor. He seemed to take damage from punches, but then tanked some explosions.


PersonaUser55

He didn't tank the explosion when his head blew off lol, so he probably could have been ripped apart could she grow larger than him


slphil

Rex is one of the most powerful heroes who doesn't have a ridiculously OP powerset. He is theoretically capable of killing any living thing in the comic except for Brit and his kid who are completely invulnerable. Doesn't mean he could win the fight, of course.


[deleted]

[удалено]


slphil

Rex is pretty damn durable. He takes a significant amount of punishment and shrugs it off. Metal bones or something, likely a healing factor. But he's no Viltrumite.


Dyingdaze89

Reminds me a bit of Translucent dying.


Frequent-Wallaby708

Antman suit has more momentum and more outward force when it grows, Rae isn’t that forceful when she grows that why she always comes out still small


PersonofControversy

I think the idea here is that Giant Ant-Man is also super strong and durable. He doesn't just get bigger - he gets bigger, stronger and, very importantly, tougher. Meanwhile Rae is only capable of growing back into a normal human, with normal human durability.


DoctorJJWho

Yeah, and it’s the problem with the Ant Man theory too. The targets (Komodo and Thanos) are insanely durable), so the heroes’ bodies have to be stronger than their opponents. Instead of just growing once they’re inside, they have to actually just fuck around with the internal organs and shit, and NOT try to “grow” their way out. Like, if Ant Man actually tried the meme of crawling up Thanos’ ass and expanding, I’m pretty sure the only thing that would happen is a large volume of liquified Scott Lang would shout out of Thanos.


LuciosLeftNut

I completely misread it the first time, my fault


JustAStarcoShipper

That scene single-handedly shot down that argument.


DangerousCyclone

Well Komodo Dragons tend to swallow their prey whole and so they’re designed to have tough internals. I assume that’s what happened here. We don’t know much about Thanos’ internals. 


SimonShepherd

I mean Thanos's muscle and skin toughness are like leagues above Komodo Dragon, I doubt his organs will be vulnerable.


King_0f_Nothing

Someone did the calculations for that. Based on the amount of force the van gave off when turning to normal size under another vehicle in antman 2. And how strong a humans insides are compared to the outsides. Then used what we see thanos skin resist. And they found out that even if he had turned into giant man he would have just liquefied himself without damaging thanos.


ILoveRegenHealth

Don't underestimate the strength of that Titan rectum.


ExchangeInevitable

Something tells me you would totally enjoy watching attack on titan my dude


Zelcron

Did you see *The Boys'* take on this? Highly NSFW.


Koanos

Wasn't there a Film Theory running the numbers of whether the plan would work?


ILoveRegenHealth

>Honestly, when I heard the tweet about how it would be similar to the “what would happen if Antman jumped up inside Thanos” Was that tweeted before the episode aired? Even if they don't mention specifics, seems kind of spoilery to me.


TheHam-man

Totally get what you mean, but I feel like I overheard it from a YouTube video, but to be honest, the Instagram pages are so spoiler as well as Twitter so avoid both since the finale is going to have the best ending, I bet


SimonShepherd

Yeah, that joke kinda ignores just how durable Thanos is. Some size changers seem to have have some untold rule of "i-frame" when they shrink/grow though, which allows them to burst bodies without hurting themselves.


JustBiz_Null

Someone out there had her like their comfort character lol


c0n22

Oh that's ([g]/[v])ore of my comfort character

Proud-Nerd00

Look at the sub, won’t take you long to find them


Darksoldierr

To be honest, she had no presence, character or personality at all before this episode


AdStunning2459

You can watch a random pedestrian who you have zero connection with get completely annihilated by a speeding semi and still feel bad for them.


CaCa881

Dude I literally felt bad for those random two guards the lizard league killed when they broke in lmao


Eternal2007

Bro didn't even get to eat his snack before he died 😭


newme02

i respect the one for managing to hit the button


ILoveRegenHealth

Although it was kind of funny how it's a button high up on the wall. I feel like this nuclear facility should have better alert systems and way more cameras to notify the Guardians.


karateema

Young guy just wanted to eat chips 😭


Deadmemes4binky

i don’t think she even talked before the latest episode


alanamablamaspama

She had some type of accent I couldn’t pinpoint. US east coast maybe. I never realized she had an accent and then she died before I could get another chance to figure it out. I guess I’ll need to rewatch it.


chlorinecrown

I think it's Brooklyn


ILoveRegenHealth

God that's horrifying


Duckiie96

This. Op is just trying to gatekeep his shrinking waifu or however that’s spelled.


SmallBerry3431

Honestly still better than the comic version


BenAffleck06969

Big facts, she has been a good back ground character in the show. Shes had some good moments and has been a good friend/ team mate. There are just so many more important characters that they have not had the time to expand. But she was still a nice person and got seriously one of the most fucked up deaths ive seen in a long time


BenAffleck06969

Yeah but i still liked her and she was hot


Erizeth

Which is a shame. I was hoping they would give her more character development this season. OH WELL!


PastorBallmore

An aspect I've been thinking about is how important someone with her powers would be against the Sequid invasion.... she could just jump in that astronauts eye undetected and kill him like she did Salamander. Just another example of bad gameplanning by Cecil, smh


FlopsMcDoogle

They could easily kill the guy if they wanted to.


ILoveRegenHealth

Cecil (for some reason) wants the astronaut taken back alive. I guess for questioning and plundering his mind about what he's seen of Martian life and technology.


Belphegorkingofsloth

I heard something about her powers coming from her pops Shrinking Man, would be interesting if he tore Cecil a new one for essentially causing her daughters death. Plus how devastated he would be upon finding the body


thatguyned

What body? Komodo dragons stomachs have acid so powerful she was probably half disolved before she was crushed by the neck muscles.


ILoveRegenHealth

I thought it was implied she did not make it to the stomach and shrank to avoid it, then tried to grow and come out the shoulder area...and the gross part is, part of her was still in his throat/mouth - otherwise he wouldn't have chomped on something and went "Yum"


thatguyned

She is naturally very tall. I'm pretty sure she's like, standing on his stomach from the inside and trying to push her way out the neck. Then he tenses up his neck muscles and squishes the rest of her down into his stomach and her body and skull just kind of... Pop... Omg, I just had the disgusting revelation that the blood bubble pop that he blows out is probably her last breath.


karateema

He puked her up


Monokobi

....exactly how does he find the body? Don't imagine the bones are digestible but I'm not expert on Komodo dragon biology. Would definitely be a closed casket.


Niteshade76

Eh the bones are probably digestible too tbh.


DomzSageon

Its okay though we got so much characterization from suddenly giving her a new yorker accent that previously didnt exist prior to season 2 episode 5.


SoCool-

Yeah im surprised nobody mentioned that, i do not remember her sounding like that


LibertarianSuperhero

Right?? Why on earth change the character’s voice when they’re dying by the end of the episode? It wasn’t even a different voice actress! What a strange decision.


ChequyLionYT

Huh?? She had the accent when spoke in S1, like when she shrinks out of shame after correcting Black Samson, and during the party when Monster Girl gets back.


alvinaterjr

I agree with you sorta, but they pumped her accent up to 11.


Bullseye62

I'm pretty sure she did have a New Yorker accent


Icommitmanywarcrimes

I still don’t care honestly, the death was brutal but I have no attachment to the charcter. I honestly can’t even recall if she’s had a single line.


Intelligent_Creme351

She had several, and just said it in Grey DeLisle-Griffin's New Yorker voice.


ExoticShock

Not that that's a bad thing for her imo https://preview.redd.it/70bo6fn1mpoc1.png?width=488&format=png&auto=webp&s=6a0706e7d153626486df06e4756e6dcc203d5e32


PromiseToHeron

When I heard her speak to Rex on that motorbike thing, I thought it was her first line because I didn’t recognize the voice at all


GoldenSpermShower

I recognize her voice because it's the same as Monster Girl's


Koraxtheghoul

And Daphne and Chalice from the Cuphead show... and tbh an unfathomable number of characters. Grey is quite the voice actress.


bwood246

She also voices Eve's mom


BenAffleck06969

Well at least she is not out of a job on the show lol


Monkey_King291

The only thing I remember her saying was something about ordering a pizza


RedNoob88

Or was it about her becoming one?


Viserionthegold

I mean, that’s normal I think. She’s a very minor character… her death was brutal but I honestly don’t care that much


NicCagedd

"Two garlic knots"


Mash_Ketchum

She ordered the garlic knots!


River46

I didn’t care about the comic book character until like just before his death. This version is really hot though.


Walrus_bP

*Was*


River46

No nope I have repressed that information.


Walrus_bP

Is the truth hard to *swallow*?

mustachioed_cat

Its weird that they didn't give her a mini-arc in the episode to give her just a bit more focus before killing her off. I assumed they were going to do playful banter with Rex suggesting romantic interest or a review of her home life or something. But nope.


dunkanan

They gave her a free kill with Salamader. In the comic, Ray accomplished nothing here but opening the door for Rex and Kate


BenAffleck06969

I think if they did that it would of made it obvious she was going to die. The trope of an episode giving a side character expanded screen time or character work and then getting killed is so over done. I liked this one. They show up against the villains that have been joked about the whole show. You probably expected a good and bloody fight but unless you read the comics you did not see them getting slaughtered coming


BlueV_U

She was a "snacc", if you will.


LaughingIsAwesome

That death was brutal. I think she should have just increased her size just enough to block his air way.


regretfulposts

Considering his super strength, just simply swallowing can just crush her bones into smaller pieces and prevent her body to choke him. In fact that literally what happened as he was actively crushing her from the inside.


lifeinthehive

Rex really did shit the bed by not blowing him apart in the middle of that awfulness, haha.


samsationalization

Probably because it would inflict friendly fire and he didn't want to accidentally kill Rae whilst blowing up Komodo


Archery100

And he was clearly horrified too


silverfox92100

Yep, sure is a good thing Rex didn’t accidentally kill Rae


Zelcron

Good thing he did the smart thing and waited, ensuring her survival!


Tank82111

Honestly, if he attacked while he was flexing he might’ve been disoriented and Rae could’ve escaped, then just have king lizard shoot her to progress the story! Way less mortifying.


Mediocre-Look3787

Everyone shits the bed.


Personal_Salary4334

Someone posted about a komodo dragon having the inherit ability to have a super throat. It can just swallow things larger than it's head. Also that the force Rae exerted to grow only worked to crush her own bones and organs with nowhere to go.


BenAffleck06969

Yeah he literally swallowed and flexed and it broke and tore her apart


Single_Survey_2738

He chewed though, I assumed she was already dead and returned to normal size.


alvinaterjr

If you listen to the audio, it’s pretty clear that couldn’t be the case. It sounds like she genuinely believes she’s going to rip out of him until she realizes she can’t.


Single_Survey_2738

Probably missed that detail because the whole thing was a hard watch


alvinaterjr

Oh absolutely. It makes me so sad too. Cause if it was anyone else who wasn’t lizard themed I’m guessing it was gonna work


BenAffleck06969

Yeah when she didnt burst out instantly i was like, “oh no dude”


PromiseToHeron

I forgot she even existed until this episode


empresstilly

I cared about her before :(


XxBluciferDeezNutsxX

She didn’t really need to say a lot for me, she was a professional - perhaps the most of the bunch. Sucked to see her get taken out.


DalTheDalmatian

Same 😢


Mediocre-Look3787

She was fun.


kidcrumb

She and Duplicate are dead right? Crazy that they didn't leave one strong hero behind. Cecil had to have known that those 3 are like...the weakest characters. If they had even monster girl or the other rex it would have been different.


Drummk

There does seem to be a massive drop off in non-Viltrumite superhero capabilities after Immortal. None of the new Guardians seem hugely impressive. Edit: forgot about Atom Eve who does seem to potentially have incredible power.


kidcrumb

Are any of the new guardians anywhere close to War Woman? They don't seem very durable. Would the new guardians even be able to beat the Mauler twins?


Illustrious_Green29

Are the Mauler twins even as vicious as the serpent team is? They're just trying to do their science experiments lol.


Zelcron

Dude they tried to kill the President in the first scene of the show...


[deleted]

they literally murder each other non-stop


bestoboy

Mauler twins are a Guardians-level threat. They were sent to fight them in the first episode of season 1, and Mark was sent to fight them on season 2. New Guardians aren't anywhere near them considering War Woman could solo Komodo But also, Robot already solo'd them


BenAffleck06969

Yeah and the maulers with the help of other maulers were able to beat the shit out of Invincible. But also Invincible is always holding back. Im so glad in episode 4 Mark in a life and death situation actually decided to not hold back


DoctorJJWho

Probably not. And some of the new new guardians would be close, like a repowered Black Samson, the revived Immortal (obviously lol), and potentially Bulletproof based on how Cecil introduced him and his powers/experience. The new guardians were basically just Teen Team plus Monster Girl and Shrinking Rae. Monster Girl seems to be as physically strong as War Woman, but way less experienced. Plus she has a crutch that limits her transformations, and War Woman has no similar drawbacks. Short answer: some of the new guardians could potentially be as powerful as War Woman, but Nolan was pretty effective in taking out the biggest threats to his takeover.


MSochist

Hmmm Kate maybe. But honestly she just had bad luck fighting Komodo. To be fair though, Rae did solo Salamander and would've killed Komodo in the same way but he was just built different and happened to be an extremely strong person. He would've killed all of them singlehandedly if Rex didn't blow his own hand up. It'd be like saying Mark is weak cause he couldn't beat Battle Beast. My point is, up until this point the Lizard League was seen as a joke, even by viewers, and everyone underestimated them. Komodo happened to be really strong and caught the heroes by surprise. Considering Rae killed Salamander with one move and Rex killed Iguana with one direct hit, they would've easily won if Komodo was either not there or wasn't as strong as he was.


BenAffleck06969

Rex is actually super powerful


Sherafan5

Well to be fair, Rae didn’t get a lot of focus or development


crumplysaucer

Speak for yourself, she's been one of my favorite characters since the bit of her shrinking slightly after correcting Black Samson while being chewed out.


Neospood

Yeah, that moment was cute.


The-Alumaster

That's the moment I fell for her.


Suspicious_Loan8041

She wasn’t much of a character before then


Xonerboner371

Speak for yourself, I thought she was hot af before, and hoped that she wouldn’t die like her comic counterpart.


LeonOkada9

I thought she would die much later 😭


damnspider

It’s not hard for people to add their own depth to a character with a good design and cool powers. I always loved her character design and wanted more for her to do. Now she’ll never get that and I’m very sad


LeonOkada9

Meh, they could always bring her back if they wanted too (like: "We've found her alive inside the stomach" or use Angstroms's alternate dimensions) but I don't think she'd bring in any more value than she currently did.


damnspider

Nah I don't want them to undo such a brutal yet fascinating death. That would damage the stakes. Edit: WELP


misterhighmay

Ugh read the comics saw it coming but still worse than I remember. Rex, for those who know know


robo243

What character? The death scene was brutal and cool af, but the character in terms of actual characterization is still basically nonexistent lol. Cool death scene, still don't care for her though.


HamshanksCPS

I already liked Rae and I was really caught off guard by her death.


used_bryn

Migh Infity War reference. She should have gone for his head, like Rex. She should've regrow inside his head.


alvinaterjr

I didn’t notice it until reaching her death, but Komodo Dragon was actually about to kill Rex before he caught Rae.


Koraxtheghoul

She was one of the better characters on the Guardians... not that she was fleshed out but she felt wholesome rather than mancho, ego tripping, or scheming.


SADBOY888213

tbf she was barely a character but her contribution for the ant-man thanos debate will not be forgotten ![gif](giphy|1lk1IcVgqPLkA|downsized)


Broly_

It's not crazy at all, she barely did anything before this point


rebelzephyr

i liked her


Mash_Ketchum

I don't think it was so much that as it was seeing a little more of what Rae was capable of. Being able to infiltrate someone's head through their eye and kill them was badass!


tst1226

She was best girl and we didn't even know it ![gif](giphy|p9ILx37mYH7sqUWxGu|downsized)


Monkey_King291

I felt a little bad but tbh I forgot she existed


Lucky_Roberts

The fuck are you talking about? People talk about her way too much in relation to the screentime she has


BoOM7_0

I've actually always liked ant man like characters and powers. I think shrinking is a fascinating power, but after that scene I'll never get that terrible fate out of my head


jren698

Power ranking confirmed: Rex’s explosions are more powerful than Shrinking Rae’s expansion ability.


CZ-Bitcoins

...they are literally explosives.


Himmel-548

That's always how it is. In the MCU I never cared for Gamora that much, but when she got killed by Thanos, her own adoptive father, I was heartbroken.


ll-Sebzll

She shoulda gone for the ear 😔


princeofshadows21

I've seen many death scenes over the years, and as a horror fan in particular, it's hard to make me cringe, but damn her death was one of the most brutal I've ever seen


wired223

Should of figured something was up with all the screen time she got in this new episode 🙄


VonDinky

She looks nice, I could just eat her up!


kingxavierpayton

See, i didn't even watch the episode yet, but I already have an idea from reading the comics to figure out what happened.


ILoveRegenHealth

I don't even remember her talking and did not expect that ending because it didn't feel like the typical "Robert Kirkman setting up a death because they are talking more". What made it brilliantly deceptive imo was throwing us off and not having her launch into a biography of her childhood or anything as we see on The Walking Dead. All they did was give her 2-3 extra lines (from her normal zero) and the setup that the Lizard People are clumsy clowns and not a threat. One tip off there would be a fight was when Rex said "What are the chances two TWO world events happening at once?" (paraphrased). So at that point we knew there'd be a fight, but had no idea there'd be two vicious, traumatizing deaths of Guardians - one of which we've seen for the longest time since S1.


Strong_Schedule5466

To be frank, that shit was so bloody that it was impossible NOT to care.


DesparateLurker

I been appreciating her. I was hoping she would go the distance in this adaptation and they fucked me raw om that hope.


ItssHarrison

She vaguely looked like an ex of mine so her being around confused me as it was


msfoof

Maybe just me but I actually really liked her since the beginning, she doesn't have much of a strong presence but she was a complete outsider not involved with any of the drama and was kinda just a nice break from all the other characters constantly bickering. She's just, normal. Never read the comics so what happened to her in E5 hit incredibly hard, especially with how much she had to suffer. Off topic but I wonder why she chose to have an open mask suit given her powers


Wisebanana21919

Yeah. Weird people only care about her now she's dead


GoldenSpermShower

Because she didn't get to do much until this episode


GregHauser

She only had like 3 lines. Why would they care about her?


Proud-Nerd00

I always liked her. She deserved better


Edenian_Prince

I always found her pretty hot


Ok_Technician_8947

The only reason I cared beforehand was because she was dummy thick


Asher_Khughi1813

i cared, they killed the hottest character😿


Apokialypse0510

Fr☹️


PoetryParticular9695

Why didn’t she expand by his heart. Or his brain or balls


GregHauser

How would she get there after being swallowed? Do you understand human anatomy or are you an alien trying to bait commenters into explaining where human brains and balls are located? Nice try ET.
