YMMV / Redd

• Angst? What Angst?: The end of chapter 2 in a nutshell. Redd starts to hang out with her friend, exchanging in the comic’s usual Seinfeldian Conversation. All of a sudden, her bosses call her into a fight her with first supervillain, whom she has orders to kill. Up to this point, she’s only had to deal with mindless destructive Kaiju, negating any moral qualms with killing them. At first, she’s shocked to hear her new objective, but then IBISEC counters by Deconstructing the Joker Immunity trope here. Thus begins Redd’s most disturbing actions in her series: She dives in giving the villain an absolutely toxic Death Glare, grabs him by throat before he can say or do anything, and despite the objective cries from a bystanding superhero, performs a Neck Snap. After that, she walks back to the bench where her friend was and rests her head on his shoulder for a tad while exchanging in a bit of sarcasm. From that point forward, she retains the most bubbly personality of the comic like she always had.
• Creepy Cute: Ezzie. Overlaps with The Knights Who Say "Squee!".
• Les Yay: Despite saying that she doesn't like girls, Redd sure doesn't mind the prospect of getting a sponge bath from a hot nurse. Her interactions with an American heroine in Nevada (and later, Ezzie) seem to only compound on this. It later turns out that Redd is just going through some sort of "ideal superheroine" checklist, and is deliberately invoking this trope as part of the process.
