gokuma: ofcorcapsia: This panel is so important, and I don’t think a lot of people realize that. Especially the ones calling Getaway manipulative for what he said to Tailgate.This panel, by its juxtaposition of a lone Cyclonus with a text box about being emotionally inarticulate, implies that perhaps Cyclonus finds it difficult to say what he means. So, given that he did discuss events with Getaway (which would make sense, he probably doesn’t tell everything to Tailgate to not hurt or confuse the poor little guy when what he wants to talk about is him), it’s entirely possible - nay, plausible - that Getaway misunderstood what he was being told, so when he passed it onto Tailgate - he thought he was looking out for Tailgate’s best interests. He in no way wanted to hurt Tailgate (or Cyclonus) he was just wanting to make sure Tailgate didn’t get hurt in the long run.He wasn’t being manipulative - he was being a friend. Getaway implies he is quoting Cyclonus. I find it VERY unlikely Cyclonus would share Tailgate’s words (or - for that matter - anything about that deeply personal moment) with anyone, let alone someone he’s just met.I think it’s much more likely Getaway learnt about Tailgate’s behaviour from someone else (or perhaps faked it? since we actually saw Tailgate being unbelievably brave - especially if we consider the fact he was in terrible pain, paralyzed and dying) and now is using it to manipulate Tailgate. Also on top of all of the manipulative language in Getaway’s speech there’s:which basically confirms he was flat out lying and wants TG to avoid communication to Cyclonus about this -- source link
