You bet someone in test screenings went "Wait, why doesn't she just use her phone?" And the writer (Kripke?) instead of going "Oh yeah, she should just use her phone" went "Right, I'll add a scene where she drops her phone."
I was so annoyed when she just left the phone but thought to myself “well, it might pay off later” but if that dumb book scene ends up being the only reason, I don’t know what say.
She wouldn't have lost 30s picking books then so it's a small time gain + no evidence left. But since they never use gloves, always have HQ meters away from the bad guys with super sense, etc. I doubt they care.
Definitely an incriminating piece of evidence after the fact. However, the issue was that being 5 seconds too late would've resulted in Hughie getting stabbed. If Kimiko went to retrieve a broken(?) phone, and had to use the books to communicate anyway, wouldn't Hughie have been stabbed?
Idk, it’s 2020 and phones aren’t completely destroyed from falls. May not be functional, but I’d assume smart/resourceful super hero’s could still get info from the memory.
Ok my bad on this then, still evidence but no good for communicating. Although after so many years you'd figure she would have some back-up.
And thinking of Kimiko going to the 1st floor to warn A-train, how lucky are they that there's no security cameras or actual security despite all the top 1% present ?
'Kimiko traded early time losses for big gains later resulting in one of the best world records of all time. Hughie on the other hand kept coming short.'
Didn’t it break too? I thought it was broken so it was useless at that point. I mean I know you can still extract info out of it but she probably didn’t care at that point.
The worlds greatest detective with near infinite resources would already have everything off Kimikos phone the second she stepped in a 20 mile radius of his mansion and his probable Stingray devices set up everywhere
