Jenny and Ted discuss Extermination 8.7.

Episode Notes:

• This revelation to the Undersiders had to happen, actually
• Why did Tattletale go along with the lie?
• We think better of some of these heroes than Taylor
• Legend is someone who cares about optics
• Turns out Armsmaster is a shameless hypocrite with a lot of reasons to hate Taylor
• Jenny is still rooting for the Amy / Taylor friendship
• The meaning behind the hero and villain labels
• Armsmaster as a foil for Taylor
• There's a reason Miss Militia and Legend believe Tattletale's story -- and a reason the Undersiders believe Tattletale's
• Armsmaster's downfall made this chapter so much more palatable than it would've been
• The arm is a metaphor
• The power of teen sass
• Worm is dark and gritty and still gives us the occasional escapist fantasy
• The potential for a future Undersiders reconciliation
• Hard to see where the story goes from here
• Each cape’s personality matters a lot
• Where are our post-battle pamphlets?
• Jenny still feels like they should be better at this Endbringer thing
• You’re not paranoid if they’re really out to get you
• Jenny's dreams of Taylor outing Shadow Stalker
• The challenge of reclaiming straying heroes
• We're glad they see the value in Taylor and the Undersiders
• Jenny distrusts Taylor's Emma theories. Fortunately she has her own
• Taylor is back to her Arc 1 self (she’s been through a lot!)
• The power of friendship (only takes her so far)
• Hero and villain as social roles
• Lisa is the best improv artist
• Choices that are false choices
• Look, everybody should read Worm!
