You know. That passage of Blair's comprehensive dressing down of Hego for his performative bullshit is exactly why I've always wanted to keep Hego away from the grit of this setting. He's honest in his performance of course, but it isn't grounded like Mr Incredible or other great heroes of the age. His low stats excluded, the blundering idiocy of Hego as the Himbo Hero was endearing and also mutually exclusive with being effective as a hero. Hego never had the issue of us using him wrong. The problem was his dice, and the fact that unlike most including literally Dennis the Duck he just wasn't very concerned with self improvement and was absolutely un-self-aware about his own limits, which he needed to work on.
Hego as we knew him is dead. Caught monologuing instead of doing heroics.
Yet I absolutely love how Hego's low-intensity heroics came back to save his life, showing the importance of the little things even when one has super powers <3
I think Shego will appreciate Hego "growing up" a little, and I actually want to talk to him about our relationship to Perry after this. Because like, that's when we had to straighten out our life. Our partner, our nemesis died in a tragic accident of our own mis-engineering, and now we only keep to the tame inators which are guaranteed not to explode (explaining why we have no access to the ultra bonkers ones).
I'm very glad that Candace didn't get herself killed in her manic attempt to finally defeat the way the world gaslights her. Thankfully this time it's going to be literally impossible for her parents to miss, and there's no way her parents are going to end up at Calisota or something that dark. I think P+F shouldn't be altered in their lack of designing violence, but I think a good development for them is to get them closer to Candace and talk to her more about stuff. Hell, I'd even be okay with them talking to us about whether or not we're Evil.
In fact an epliogue of Hego, P+F, Candace and Doof talking at the memorial park for Agent P would be pretty poignant. I think leaving the masquerade up of Agent P and Perry the Platypus is best, but to just talk about the difference between Evil (with limits and regulations and consistent push back from your nemesis) versus EVIL like Negaduck and Kat and Syndrome. Doof has, really been grappling with the limits of his Evil lately and. Well. I'd like to see that explored alongside characters that are redefining their definitions of Evil due to personal tragedy.
I'm so happy that the Federation gets a huge win here. Shatter and capture part of the K fleet, prevent the looting of a valuable world (and associated science post), and get tabs on the criminal Joomba.
I might not want to go to space, but being on Fed contract to develop things for space would be nice. Especially since we've recently cut loose two of our most persistent problems, and seem to have an income shortfall eheh
