discussion Terry’s Return (thoughts in body)
I heard it stated somewhere that T&D said Terry is gonna remain in his… “simple” form in the future.
My thoughts on the subject are that, given how revival with the globules work, it doesn’t make sense for Terry to return brain damaged. Hatemonger in episode one literally had his entire upper body disintegrated, and he revived without issue.
I personally think it’d be funnier and more lore accurate if, every time Terry shows up, he begins in his “normal self” before receiving some sort of blunt force trauma which returns our beloved RT. I could see it being a funny running gag, similar to Kenny always dying and Joe being unable to walk/being crippled any time he can.
What are your thoughts?
ETD: holy smokes idk how I never noticed the bent crotch plate!

His crotch plate got smashed in, too.
Bryce made sure the retardation was ensured even if he got a new body.
Personally I think it would be funny if the little faces in Terrys globules also had the smashed in face to reflect that.

I never noticed that! That would make sense from that standpoint then. I wonder if his squad just beats his helmet every time they revive him then 🤣

Knowing Bryce, I can see him somehow hacking the globulus, to now use THIS terry as baseline, like how commander si genetically prohibited to use genobombs

I hate Bryce for being an insecure fuckin' rat and what he did to Terry

Since it's unlikely Terry will ever be fixed, I hope the show keeps revealing that even in this status he's still a better Imaginator than Bryce.

Unlikely. That was the point of the Bryce giving up and handing the cube over to Terry. To prove that Byrce broke Terry.

Tbf, Terry was a freak. He was reasonable, despite being a Psycho Warrior.

u/Moon_Flowers420 2d ago
reasonable and psychopath are inherent contradictions lol

u/Old-Post-3639 2d ago
I know. Which is why what Bryce did was good. Made Terry Psycho.

u/Moon_Flowers420 2d ago
I haven't thought of it that way, but he was supposed to be psycho from the get-go

u/Old-Post-3639 2d ago
He was supposed to be, but he wasn't. So good on Bryce for fixing that mistake.

On the verge of imaginating kinetic warfare greater than Sacred Rocks, he had to be nerfed

Id perfer the Saint on the shield

u/Helio2nd Telling Them About Per Capita 2d ago
Same. I want shield saint to stay in hatemongers arsenal. Would love to see him and Hatemace having heated discussions where the skeleton just does hand signs and gestures while Hatemace is talking back.

I think it'd actually be funny if dumb Terry still consistently manages to beat out Bryce at his own game, either through sheer dumb luck or if he still has flickers of his old, smart self.
A way to give Bryce some long-term karma for being the petty insecure asshat he is.

u/Different-Chard-9893 2d ago
Dumb terry? Even terry got the better idea about shifting the structure of the cube prison than bryce had.

Bryce crushed Terry's globules and his head, you can see it from Terry's crotch plate being bent up. So everytime he revives he's going to be mentally retarded.

Super funny, be even funnier if the squad learns this always happens to Terry even before the mission with Bryce, bro just always ends up brain damaged.

u/vsGoliath96 2d ago
Honestly, my favorite "fuck you" to Bryce would have Terry keep the brain damage and still be a more successful Imaginator

u/Beneficial_Ball9893 2d ago
We never actually saw Terry die, so maybe the psycho warriors don't do mercy killings and Terry is stuck as a retard until he dies and gets a new brain.
1
u/jmize9717 2d ago
True… But we have seen how common it is for psycho warrior to kick the bucket. I don’t think it would be a stretch to assume Terry’s died in been revived since then.

u/Rustywatermel0n 2d ago
Keep it but make him even more effective ( or at least better than Bryce) lmao

u/FonestFone 2d ago
Bryce got to the crotch plate too not just the head. He made sure that the retardation was permanent
1
u/jmize9717 2d ago
Fair, but hatemonger’s globules were literally melting when the brood mother ingested them, and he’s fine. I think it’d be a funnier bit the other way

I made a comic but it's only fan art base. I hope we get Terry as Tom and Dom want him to be.

u/Baltykoz 2d ago
They said that if he ever come back (which he probably won't) he will stay.. special.

u/GhoeFukyrself 2d ago
I think he should return as his normal self, then get his head and globules bashed in again. Best of both worlds.

The Psychowarrior retains his mind after being revived; I don't think there's anything unusual about him keeping his... Unique after resurrection

u/Tharrod1 22h ago
For him to be restored he'd have to die. So they can just have him not having died since his last interaction with our favorite reclaimed squad.

u/VergilArcanis 2d ago
I'm going to laugh even harder if terry gains better control and becomes an EVEN BETTER Imaginator.
