 Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2008 10:19 am Post subject: Where's Becky? |
 |
|
Anyone else notice that Becky has been largely absent from DD lately?
Back around #99 I think, Dakota tells Becky that she's found something out about Melvin's attorney (Becky's friend). Becky's response has the classic "er.." in it hinting that there's maybe something more to the scene than meets the eye.
Since then we've seen Becky once. If I remember correctly she's asking Matt and Foggy what's going on, and not getting an answer. Since then Foggy and Dakota are frequently seen offering moral support to Matt and Milla, including the epilogue scenes in 105, but Becky is not around.
Do Matt, Foggy and Dakota suspect Becky was under Fear's control? Was she? (it would explain a lot of Fear's ability to manipulate Matt's situation). If so, how might this play out in the future status quo? |

Maybe because I really love Becky from her very first appearance, but I feel that you're reading too much in that "er..."
So I wouldn't say that she doesn't appear due to any involvement with Cranston, but mainly because the plot concentrated in other events. Dakota hasn't appeared much more. Also, Becky must be affected by both what happened with Melvin and his old college friend Gus.
Also, I believe that if she had been under Cranston's influence, she wouldn't have been approached by her friend Gus (who was really under the Fear influence, but take the case herself directly
Still, only Brubaker can tell.

| Yeah. I've always loved Becky, but I'm beginning to fear the worst. Abduction. By Skrulls. |

You almost nailed it. I'll break protocol and tell you what I know. According to some loose talk at the local Skrull watering-hole, Becky wasn't abducted by Skrulls; rather, she was seduced by one. Not me. As I've stated elsewhere,* earth-girls are easy.
You're a clever guy, Pete. In fact, you're a bit too clever for our liking and comfort. Needless to say, you're now under 24 hour surveillance. For your own good, my friend, I suggest from this point forward that you sleep with one eye open!

Bah! I'm a goddam Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D!!! I get three threats like this from Hydra before breakfast on a daily basis.
Anyway, all S.H.I.E.L.D agents have lots of nifty Kirby / Steranko designed gizmo's at their disposal. If any creep from Hydra/AIM/Skrull land decides to pay me a visit when I've got both my baby blue's closed, it's trigger off all kinds of lazers, light beams and other stuff, and vapourise 'em to Hydra/AIM/Skrull dust! Tell yer Skrull pals!
Of course, paying a visit to the bathroom in the middle of night can prove problematic. But I'm a highly trained agent. |

Forget that SHIELD crap! I just realized that you're from Liverpool. Liverpudians are direct descendants of Skrulls. Don't believe me? Just look at Ringo to notice the resemblance. That means you're one of us. And that means you're safe.
Besides, Skrulls love Beatles music, especially Revolver.
Speaking of the Fab Four, today wasn't one of Sir Paul's best. Too bad for him; but great for that viper he married.

Huh... "Revolver" is one of my favourite vinyls, then... then... I must be... (terror sinks in with the realization )

So, uhm, a bird whispered in my ear that this is the thread where all the Skrulls hang out now, and I just couldn't stay away... Since we all know I'm a complete sucker for Skrulls...
Oh God, I'm pathetic. Slowly backing away now... 
PS. As for Becky, I'm sure she's been busy holding down the fort with the other partners and Dakota running around like crazy hens (as we say in my part of the world). She'll be back in the next issue, I'm sure. Unless... No, I'm not even going to go there.

I suspect that you just spoiled the end of secret Invasion: Bendis intended Heather Mills to be the ultimate Anti-Skrull weapon.... Just Kidding! Yet look at what I found!

Boy, am I glad I've always prefered Abbey Road. I'm sorry to hear of your shocking find, Gloria. But if you just peacefully turn yourself in at your local neighbourhood S.H.I.E.L.D office, I will personally guarantee your safety. We can do this nice an' quiet an' peaceful, like, or...

Agreed about that last bit.
Anyway, all this talk about Ringo did get me a bit worried. I mean, the more you look at him, the more Skrull like he becomes. Then came all this John (Lennon) the Skrull - bit from Gloria. So I just had to check the S.H.I.E.L.D files on this.
Luckily I'm not descended from Skrulls.
Anyway, it turns out the Skrull invasion of Liverpool almost happened in 1942. Unfortunately for your lot, the timing happened to be bad, as World war II German fighter-planes happened to be trying to wipe the dock area off the face of the earth at the same time, and one of the bombs directly landing on the Skrull Mothership hovering just above ground level. Only one Skrull survived, and the lucky guy went undercover for a while.
Anyway, it turns out years later he gets caught up in the Merseybeat boom of the time and finds that he's got natural rhythm and would make an OK drummer, so he happens to abduct a local lad by the name of 'Ringo' and takes his place in a local band. Word gets around the local scene that this 'Ringo' (really Skrull-Ringo) is actually one of the best drummers around so Lennon and McCartney invite him to join their band.
It's only years later after the band make it big that the three human guys find out their drummer is really an evil alien. McCartney and Harrison want to kick him out. Lennon just doesn't give a s%*$. But anyway, it's this, not Skrull Yoko Ono, that contributes to the group splitting up. It's agreed that Skrull Ringo can live a quiet peaceful life and keep all the royalties from 'Octopus' Garden' if he reveals the location of the captive real Ringo. This, I'm glad to say, he agreed to, and the real Ringo will be somewhere near you all soon, drumming away frantically making up for all the lost years, and keeping time very, very badly. |

So... the Skrulls were to blame for first Beatles' drummer Pete Best leaving the quartet?
Ringo originally banged the drums for Rory Storm and the Hurricanes, and their hanging around in Hamburg with other Liverpudlian musicians on tour there was a first step into their becoming a Beatle.
Query: is Hamburg a Skrull base as well?

Indeed. Pete was a great drummer but Skrull Ringo had more rhythm. Plus, Pete Best would have been crap singing lead vocals on 'Yellow Submarine'.
Maybe we should rename this thread 'Where's Pete Best?' |

Pete Best isn't a skrull. He's the walrus. Koo Koo Ka Choo. |
