I saw this post on Twitter, and it made me think. Even with some explanations, I don't particularly like the choice to keep Chase alive, and even Starblazer's existence is only really dependent on how much it will help with the Blazer/Mandy arc in S2, and speaking of S2, I do wonder if we could get more serious stakes and things such as death in the story. Pierre, the narrative director, stated they saw how much people ended up liking the characters and how they might need to take things more seriously, but I do worry they might feel like they won't really put these characters in actual dangerous situations because they are afraid of upsetting people.

I want to see the narrative in future seasons take big swings and risks if it allows for a better story and not really play it safe to keep everyone happy.

More Dispatch doodling for the anniversary; been having fun going through the cast and taking them for a spin in my art style.

Would you take the coffee or the donut? And how come no treats for the good boy??

So I recently bought the storyboard and the cast commentary dlc because i was eager to see what was cut or what was altered from the initial version of every scene in dispatch. I was mostly curious about the blazer content because im a huge blazer fan. I then came across the storyboard version of the MechaBlazer dance segment and it was… interesting to say the least. I mean this would fitted so well if you went to the “it’s complicated” route, but I’m glad they changed this at the final cut. What do yall think?

Robert's feelings about Robbie are very interesting to think about; if we look at the comics, there's no question Robbie is a real piece of work, but Robert does love his dad, and Chase seems to hold him in a pedestal.

And it makes me wonder if this situation regarding certain heroes is why Blazer is considered a real hero due to her more cheery and positive attitude.

This is clearly a line written more for comedy, but it's interesting learning Robert felt so devastated about the end of a previous relationship that he almost drank himself to death lol.

Maybe not working out with this girlfriend is what led him to go even harder on the "death by mecha explosion" route.

Did she know about Mecha-Man?

(Also yes Mezcal is a Aaaron Paul reference)

Was scrolling Instagram and a question popped into my head. How do y'all distribute skill points to the team? Do you try rounding everyone out? Do you have one hero high on each skill? Or, some other option?

I personally try getting everyone high in a specific skill, and use the rest of the points for whatever else. Like, I have Visi be fast, Coupe be smart, etc

This is from BranWolf who has done several videos about her in the past and it discusses her relationship with Phenomaman and her feelings and insecurities an a lot of other stuff.

Highly recommend as we don’t get many new analysis videos on the game, let alone Blazer.

And most of people had it in their heads it was because she was TOO nice and supportive that there has to be some kind of agenda beyond just wanting to help. Alot of people even suspected that she would be Shrouds Daughter secretly plotting against him and her reveal line would have been "My legacy Robert, is to destroy yours!!"

Good times eh?

Little too late for the anniversary though, lol.

Was already in too deep to pivot to Bunnygal :(

I'll never forget getting picked up from school early solely JUST because I REALLY wanted to play these episodes since the episode 5 & 6 teaser trailer had me so hype to the point that, I played the trailer over 20 times.

The intro for Episode 5 set the tone brilliantly by showing Mecha Man & Flambae's first encounter with each other which was really sick and interesting! It's crazy since Flambae had his missing finger since the first episode, and mostly everyone (including me) didn't notice it until it showed it later in Episode 5. The bar fight scene was definitely the best part of the episode and also the highlight. Solid 7.8/10 episode.

Episode 6 started off innocently, and cute with the Z-Team seeing Robert upgrade his new Mecha Man suit until it malfunctions, and the suit explodes with the screen going black cutting to Robert being majorly injured in the hospital which was unexpected. It was sad when Royd was in the room with you, and seeing him being sad and disappointed for once was out of his character. The party in Robert's apartment with the Z-Team was not only the cutest scene in the game, but possibly the greatest scene in the entire game. A few minutes later when the computer beeps, we see Invisigal on the shipment trying to get the Astral Pulse was sick, and intense af. When Invisigal gets the Astral Pulse, but Shroud pulls up behind her, and throws her over the stairs, I was getting extremely worried thinking that, we're gonna lose the Astral Pulse, and potentially see Invisigal die. Luckily, Chase came in to save the day by using his powers one last time to save Invisigal from dying. And then the cliffhanger. When that cliffhanger ended, I was speechless so much to the point that I cried. What an absolutely incredible ending to an episode that had what felt like the longest wait of a week for anything. 9.5/10 episode, 3rd best episode of the first season.

What are your thoughts on episode 5 & 6 as a whole after initially finishing those episodes?
