I think we have different understandings of what constitutes a happy ending

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 40 points 9 months ago

My massage parlor also has a different understanding of what constitutes a happy ending.

[-] seantpayne@fedia.io 1 points 9 months ago

Happy for her. It wasn't promised to the reader.

Oh hey, this comic is by Rebecca Sugar, creator of Steven Universe! They have some interesting comics, like Don't Cry For Me I'm Already Dead

[-] JackiesFridge@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Thank you and curse you for introducing me to this.

[-] chili6633@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 9 months ago

Oof. I read that on my break at work and now I can't stop crying. That was so heartbreaking.

Rough that she's named "Chubby Mary". Even if there was another Mary on the ship, ya coulda gone to surnames.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago

First name Chubby, last name Mary.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Her parents kinda predestined her with that name.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 9 months ago

Have you ever met a girl named Chastity?

Predetermination doesn't work.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah, that's how Chub's parents reasoned but here we are.

"It was just a dream" and "you are dead" are such cheap tricks for storytelling. Annoying.

[-] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 42 points 9 months ago

I took it as hallucinations due to oxygen deprivation ¯\(ツ)/¯

[-] qooqie@lemmy.world 39 points 9 months ago

Well it wasn’t a dream we see that from the beginning, and we know she is going to die because there’s no way to survive that. So we know she’s going through some last minute coping to die somewhat happy, it’s not a cheap annoying trick in actuality. However, if you take it as cheap that’s fine too

[-] kilgore_trout@feddit.it -3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The strip is written by Rebecca Sugar; she thrives in cheap storytelling. To her excuse, this is from 2010.

But I like this art style.

[-] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

Well now I want to cry 😢

[-] uservoid1@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

fuck

[-] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

But how did you survive the explosion of Namek?

...Muffin button.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Dem boobies floppin about in zero grav doe

[-] dudinax@programming.dev 4 points 9 months ago

It's a Jacob's ladder type situation

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 9 months ago

Reminds me of that bit in Gravity that some people got really angry about for no apparent reason.

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

Tf?

[+] Artyom@lemm.ee -8 points 9 months ago

This is pretty much the plot of Lost.

[-] reminiscensdeus@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

If you're implying they were dead the whole time, they were not.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

That would have been so much better. Not good. But so much better.

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Spoiler for the movie Gravity:

In Gravity, George Clooney's character wasn't her husband and it was he who drifted away. But other than that, it's a pretty common interpretation that this is the same thing that happened to Sandra Bullock's character. That she died and the ending on Earth was her already being dead. This comic is basically a summary of the movie.

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 14 points 9 months ago

That's the only way any of the physics in that movie make sense.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 10 points 9 months ago

LOL they were so proud of the physics, even had Tyson do his whole "Im the smartest person in any room" shtick at the time on the movie.

I really like the science in The Martian, even if it was a bit generous with the best possible outcome each time and forgot about the dangers of martian soil toxicity.

Sunshine was also pretty good!

[-] freamon@endlesstalk.org 4 points 9 months ago

Wait, what? Bullock's character is actually dead in Gravity? I've been watching that movie way too literally. Kinda messes with her character's arc though, if she karks it halfway through.

[-] WillFord27@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Well, the last season of a 6 season show.
