I have to admit I'm not a fan of the fact that there have been 4 consecutive fakeout deaths in a row counting Allen, especially when theyre going to fake-kill Angstrom in a few episodes. Having 3 was bad enough but once Kate comes back it will really weaken the "anyone can die" tone. Unless you count the Thraxans, I don't think a single named character has actually died since episode 1

I assume the point of saving Rae is to add another person we know for Rudy to kill off, but I really struggle to imagine her contribution to the story outweighing the damage it does. Its especially bad when they made her death so graphic and horrible. The ending of episode 5 is really cheap when all 3 of them just make it out after all. Unless they're planning on leaving Kate dead, which would be weird because even show-onlies have been questioning why she didn't just keep a body somewhere

since there won't be as many characters included from across the comics for Rudy to kill off they're saving certain heroes for that.

It's probably because Brit and Spawn and a few others won't be available.

Spawn just a cameo, Brit survives anyway just like any other unavailable characters(mb except few, I don’t know everyone). So it’s strange that Rae survived. She is still not even a character in the show. What is the point? So far it’s just feels tasteless

Brit full-on joins the Guardians at one point. If he's not available, you need another character to fill that roster spot. May as well keep one of the Guardians you already had around rather than invent a new show-only character.

Well I don't see Rae lasting more than 10 seconds against Set lol
