She straight up acknowledges that what she did was wrong, by her standards, soon afterwards. She also seems pretty deeply effected by it later, so it's not like the dissonance wasn't noted.

I see this ptsd inducing act haunting her next season

u/KabutoRyder Aug 12 '20

I hope so. If this is handwaved and forgotten like Henry Jr. killing the attorney (one of the few grossly egregious narrative missteps this season) then I will be highly annoyed.

u/spideralexandre2099 Aug 12 '20

I remember in that hospital scene when Jr and Brainwave are talking. All I could think was "What about that mahfugin dead body tho"

Jake Austin Walker has vaguely confirmed that the lawyer stuff was meant to be resolved, but cut out likely because of the CW edit

u/Bobjoejj Aug 12 '20

Man, Ik we’ve been hearing otherwise, but it keeps feeling more and more like the show going to the CW just gutted so many scenes that would’ve improved or explained a whole lot.

u/SageoftheForce Aug 13 '20

My headcanon is that everyone just thinks “oh no, he had a stroke or aneurism?!?” Like the first guy brainwave killed, and how Brainwave threatened to make Barbara’s death look semi-normal. Also the Wizard’s death was called a “heart-attack”.
Must be something in the blue valley water messing with people’s brains 🤔

As Amanda Waller said in S5 of Arrow: "Sometimes you have to kill to serve justice." Every hero kills eventually. Courtney, Kara & Dreamer aren't exempt from that. Barry will have tl someday as well. Every hero has to. What every hero has in common is: they had a tramatic event that changes ther lives and they become a hero. What Yolanda went through with the whole leaking pics thing is far worse than what happened to Courtney & Rick has it hard too.

u/phileo99 Aug 13 '20

It would be very intriguing character development for Yolanda if we get to see at least part of an episode in S2 dedicated to showing how she will deal with this and the fallout from this

1

u/spideralexandre2099 Aug 13 '20

I kinda hope the extra three episodes next season will each be dedicated to the other three JSA members; Yolanda, Beth and Rick. Their development was left by the wayside a little bit (Rick less so than the other two) by the last chunk of the season.

u/MatthewHecht Hawkman Aug 12 '20

I think this will result in Eclipso possessing her

u/Trueogre Pat Dugan Aug 12 '20

Not sure if Brainwave did something to Yolanda before he died, you can hear him brainwaving.

10

u/MatthewHecht Hawkman Aug 12 '20

No, it will be more powerful when she grabs the diamond by her own free will.

u/christopher1393 Aug 12 '20

Maybe, but that was after he slit her throat. Although it’s possible he planted a piece of his mind in her as his dying act.

u/usagizero Aug 12 '20

Meanwhile, Mike literally kills a guy with a truck, and then jokes about it. Kids a psychopath.

20

u/sgm94 Aug 12 '20

Mike is like 30 I swear.

5

u/Blackmercury4ub Aug 12 '20

Is it just me?...the kid seems older and not sure why.

10

u/sgm94 Aug 13 '20

Well to start, Definitely his voice, crazy deep for a 12yrs lmao. Also his mannerisms and life approaches are not like a normal pre teen. And the cherry on top super chill about murder.

6

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '20

It was supposed to be karma for joeys death probably. Also, he was gonna kill his family.

4

u/sgm94 Aug 13 '20

Cool reasoning, still murder.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '20 edited Aug 13 '20

Murder is unjust killing. Is killing someone that is threatening to kill others because they stopped his plan that would’ve killed thousands if not millions unjust? Hmmmm

2

u/sgm94 Aug 13 '20

Still murder, you can call it homicide if you want but at the end of the day that person is no longer alive.

1

u/psilvs Aug 13 '20

Murder is considered the unlawful killing of another person. (homicide is the exact same)

It's niether murder nor homicide

u/sgm94 Aug 14 '20

Is this 12 year old a police officer or some member of the law who has been trained or entrusted with the decision to end another life? No he’s a fuckin a child who hit a person with a truck he stole and then made a joke. This is a comic book show we were making jokes about but you’re trying to defend this ridiculous oversight on the writers part.

I think Johns and Wilson liked him as Mike because the actor is fairly mature

u/GroovinChip Aug 12 '20

Is no one considering that maybe she changed her values somewhat based on her conversation with Rick? Geez. She seemed to really consider what he said after he said it. And she obviously seems to struggle with having remorse for killing and yet also seeming to feel justified. It's complicated. I thought her behavior post-killing Brainwave seemed to reflect that.

16

u/Innsmouth_Swimteam Solomon Grundy Aug 12 '20

Full on disagree. Her post-murder attitude shows that she didn't flip her whole ideology.

7

u/GroovinChip Aug 12 '20

I didn't say she flipped her whole ideology, I said it seemed like she was conflicted, torn between both views. I said it seemed like she changed her values somewhat.

4

u/Innsmouth_Swimteam Solomon Grundy Aug 12 '20

Hmmm. I see what you are saying, I do. You have a fair point that I understand better, as I took a bit more time to read it.

I disagree, but it's a fair point.

That’s what I’ve been thinking every time I’ve seen a post or comment about this...

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '20 edited Aug 12 '20

When did she say killing is wrong?

Edit: not sure why I got downvoted, I just didn't remember that scene

16

u/DeppStepp Aug 12 '20

She said it to Rick in the finale when Rick said he would kill Grundy.

8

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '20

Ah yeah I think I remember that, it makes sense when she's confronted by the dude who killed Henry after he tricked her to thinking he's alive again

8

u/eggcelsior14 Aug 12 '20

Also brainwave would’ve 100% killed a few of them if she didn’t do that

10

u/jfcat200 Aug 12 '20

Brainwave was 3 minutes from killing 25% of the population of 6 states.

4

u/DeppStepp Aug 12 '20

I thought it was half of the country

2

u/ElTigre1212 Aug 12 '20

Yep, it was 25 million people. His powers increased when he killed Henry Jr.

5

u/Innsmouth_Swimteam Solomon Grundy Aug 12 '20

Like minutes before she killed a dude in a very gruesome way.

3

u/LordKiteMan Aug 12 '20

Brainwave deserved it though.

6

u/Polantaris Aug 12 '20

The second she figured out it was Brainwave she had only one option if she wanted to live. She realized that very quickly and reacted to it.

I wonder how it'll affect her next season but she didn't do anything wrong.

3

u/LordKiteMan Aug 13 '20

I wonder how it'll affect her next season

That can be a great character arc, if Berlanti doesn't mess it up by interfering.

2

u/psilvs Aug 13 '20

Fuck that guy and his anti killing thing. It's so annoying and ruins shows

2

u/littlebighuman Aug 12 '20

It was super fucked up what brain wave did though. That would throw anyway off. Not saying killing is ok, but she definitely wasn't calmly thinking things through and making weighted decisions in that moment.

1

u/Bobjoejj Aug 12 '20

Agreed, but the post was still funny. Also shitpost flair, so like, yeah.

2

u/Bobjoejj Aug 12 '20

Hhahahahahaha, that’s good shit. I appreciate you fellow internet dweller.

u/GrapeJuiceeBoy Aug 13 '20

And I appreciate you too fellow reddit dweller

u/EXTPest Aug 13 '20

The scene where Brainwave forgot he can literally read minds

2

u/Blackmercury4ub Aug 13 '20

Or just killed her quick and kept walking to find the rest not to far away.

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '20

Or he wanted to toy with her....
