That is one way to comfort #127

That's a true bro right there.

[u/ZabrielHengist → u/YaminoTeio]

Amen. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

That’s a pretty common way for my brothers to respond to shit. What can we say to make it better? Nothing. So you make up some insult to jolt them out of how they’re feeling.

We might be a fucked up family.

[u/AlphaSpartan74 → u/ShenTzuKhan]

Nah that seems pretty standard. Throwing a light hearted insult can help someone get there mind off what's bugging them for a minute.

That's like... Normal brother banter lol he's trying to make light of the situation to make his brother feel comfortable and less caught up in the actual emotion of the situation. He's not being like damn mark what a pussy. He's being like "you're back after 5 years and I missed you, man! My brother! You don't have to apologize" by just being his brother and saying it in a joking way.

Ya don't read that as a brother and think "God what a prick he totally deserves some potential bad outcome for this rrrrrr" like... What? He's being NICE lol

[u/BellTwo5 → u/kal195]

I know, it was basically sarcasm. I have siblings too :3

[u/kal195 → u/BellTwo5]

I figured as much. It was more aimed toward the one dude saying this was the reason he didn't mind Oliver having a bad time later on and getting upvotes lol

[u/danial_champloo28]

I still hate the way he died.

[u/UnknownIcon → u/danial_champloo28]

Me too. Hopefully it’s reworked in the show.

[u/Rudolph_Conners]

I'm glad he told Mark that part coz it helped me get over what happened to him later, WAAYYY faster than it would've taken otherwise.

[u/Competitive-Zone-296 → u/Rudolph_Conners]

Let’s be honest tho, he was completely right. Mark was hella overreacting

[u/illdothisshit → u/Competitive-Zone-296]

Bruh

[u/dark621 → u/Competitive-Zone-296]

lets see you lose 5 years of your life and come out the otherside ok

[u/Odd_Remove4228]

OP, are you perhaps an only child?

[u/BellTwo5 → u/Odd_Remove4228]

Nope, I didn’t even mean it as condescending. It was just trying to play up the humor lol

[u/Suspicious_Loan8041]

There is value in saying this sort of thing sometimes. Time and place, sure, but it wasn’t a completely needless insult at a grieving Mark.

It’s a common thing between dudes, and it WORKS. Anyone with can corroborate this. It will snap you out of despair if someone tells you you’re being a pussy, even if temporarily.

And it’s not like that was all Oliver could provide. He hugged Mark, he listened to him, he validated how very not okay Mark is, he was a giant shoulder to cry on. THEN he insults him, and it worked. Mark recovered.

[u/TheSceptikal]

Holy shit, i still can't get over this god awful artstyle

[u/Ghost_105 → u/TheSceptikal]

Mark looks like he has one giant front tooth

[u/Glum_Sherbert_7320]

Oliver inherited the vitrumite brutality gene 😂

[u/HerEntropicHighness]

>! oliver survived to issue 127? Jeepers they really squeezed a lot in in the end !<

[u/Ashamed_Falcon_5375 → u/HerEntropicHighness]

Yah they put an insane amount of story all into 12 issues it really should’ve been like 20 issues minimum but it was still good

[u/Papa_Glucose → u/HerEntropicHighness]

Is that Oliver?

[u/HerEntropicHighness → u/Papa_Glucose]

I have no clue who else he would be

[u/t_moneyzz]

Oliver started as a bit of a shit but man he became so great as time went on

[u/Greyjack00]

This is why I don't tell my brother shit

[u/Live_Cabinet1140]

Faults aside, I can love Oliver
