Do you think the Guardians Of The Globe could have won if Red Rush had stuck to just bailing the others out of death and hadn't attacked himself, or do you think everyone was doomed no matter what? They did put up a great fight even after he was removed, so I think it's plausible they could have. DISCUSSION

The Guardians could've won had they taken it seriously right out of the gate, but they initially had the same response Mark had, which was they thought he was under someone else's control. Nolan, along with the ambush, had them absolutely dumbfounded out of the gate. They're basically down to what? 3 or 4 of em before they all agree they choose themselves over Nolan. By then, that's too little too late.

That’s part of it, but tbh they were also just kinda stupid lol.

I mean, Darkwing literally just committed suicide for no reason by attacking him. And Green Ghost making herself vulnerable to catch him was also unnecessary, he was obviously dead at that point.

Darkwing was silly, but Green Ghost makes sense. Catching objects is a reflexive response, and can be really disorienting to someone not expecting it because the reflex to catch objects is faster than you can consciously register.

Plus you just witnessed your friend die brutally at the hands of your other friend. I think its reasonable that someone could freeze up for a second in a situation like that

Catching objects is a reflexive response

Not if you work in industry it isn't, at least not if you want to keep working..

But we now know that darkwing has a suit he may well have been wearing that gives him some level of enhanced strength. It might not have been as futile as it appeared

His flesh is weak but as we see he’s capable of inflicting force that vilts can feel at least

A spinning axe kick to the back of the head supported by his exo suit would have been a blow. Not a game changer but a blow.

If the old Darkwing could drag Nolan to the shadowverse like his successor could then it makes sense. If not, I have no idea what he was thinking.

This !!! They should have went for the kill straight out the gate!

But that’s the thing, they are super heroes and he is their friend. It wouldn’t be in their nature to try and kill him before they had no choice.

Why didn’t they just watch the end of the episode first and then fight him

They mustn’t have had Amazon prime accounts and heroes don’t pirate shows either I suppose.
