Wasn’t expecting Shrinking Rae to still be alive. Curious if she’ll get back to strength or if she’ll eventually die from her injuries to provide an extra motivator later on for Rex and the rest of the team.

I hope they don’t kill her off immediately or make her retire off screen. It’s bad enough they did a fake out, if there’s no sort of character development on top of it, it was all meaningless imo

Aye. I thought the Invincible writers were above fake outs. Three dead turns into one dead - Rex surviving was actually done well - but I can't help but feel that Rae dying would have been more impactful and assisted further in the character development of Rex, having 'shot-gunned' squad lead, and then had his two team mates die in front of him.
