I can’t believe they really just killed off monster girl like that, I was just warming up to hers and rex’s relationship, who btw was actually cool in this episode. Especially when he was like “You just messed up”

She’s not dead, just seriously injured. Robot promises to fix her, and she definitely has more of a role to play in future stories.

Oh Fr? I thought she died cuz her skull was showing. Still I hope she and Rex become good friends

If the comics are anything to go by, someone having their face ripped off is probably one of the more minor injuries we’ll see characters survive

Yup. Giant spoilers ahead.

In the comics, we see characters brutalized to the point of having limbed pulled off (Allen after the Viltrumite attack), BB at one point purposefully disembowels himself so he can be on even footing with a recently-disemboweled Thragg, and the final fight literally takes place in the sun. These characters have insane healing properties. Mark once basically recuperated from a thrashing by Conquest that took him to within an inch of his life by just...resting in a coma for a few months on an alien planet. He didn’t even eat the whole time, although Oliver and Nolan gave him water. This universe has some characters who don’t really stay dead very well.

Marks time in a coma with his dad and Oliver was because of round 2 with conquest not thragg

You are right, that’s my mistake. Edited my original post.
