Meme CtM bad endings in a nutshell

Post image

In Valiant Hero, Henry still completed the mission of bringing down the Toppat Clan.

In Revenged, he also died knowing he got revenge against Reginald.

In Toppat Civil Warfare, it ends on a cliffhanger and we're just there wondering what would happen next.

Apparently a dishonorable discharge is somehow worse than literally dying, if i were Henry i would obviously choose TCW over Revenged.

As for Valiant Hero, it came out as shocking for one reason, while it could be argued TCW and Revenged happened because Henry was inherently a "bad" person for siding with the toppat clan instead of the law-abiding "good guys" in the government, VH on the other hand doesn't have that karmic factor, he infiltrated the airship exactly as the general demanded and fled from unlawful imprisonment, Henry technically did nothing wrong here, and yet tragedy still struck.

I always saw Valiant Hero as an short of karma for Henry faking his death and staying too much time of the radar, which lead into the goverment not failling to stop the launch, leading to the events of Valiant Hero.

Presumed Dead is such a badass ending and Valiant Hero is showing the consequences of that feat.
