Really weird that Rae is probably alive. It doesn’t just diminish the insane impact of her “death” scene in the last episode, but if her, Kate, and Rex all survive the fight then it’s going to be increasingly difficult to make it feel like there are stakes in the future. Also, what do they even plan on doing with her character now?

Or maybe she’ll succumb and die within the next episode, idk.

My theory is that she looses her powers. Or atleast can't use them without risk to herself.

"Oh Komodo Dragon crushed her mid-transformation, so her body is literally bend out of shape."

To me it looks like she lost her legs, so maybe she is out of hero business for life ?

Then why keep her alive? It just feels weird

That's pretty cold. Cecil is a bastard but he does have humanity. Also they literally rebuilt Donald, they can at least give her new legs, even if she can't use her powers anymore.

Oh you probably meant from a writing point of view. Yeah, confusing on that aspect.

Haha I meant narratively it wouldn’t make sense in a show like this to have her survive this encounter only to be written out shortly after

possibly for a filler arc or to add depth to her, since she's the least developed superhero out of the group. Or as others pointed out, maybe even to replace other superheroes that aren't available due to licensing.

In the comics, Ray kinda died, and no one cared. It's probably a time thing. Why kill her if you can't focus on the grief and fall out from it? It's probably a focus thing. Have her live but be out of the picture permanently. That's a good work around that I guess
