--- End quote ---
I was unsurprised. It's a pretty typical QC gag.
But also... Millie probably wouldn't have done it on her initiative, but with encouragement from Bubbles, I could see her going for it.

I'm surprised by Faye letting it happen without retaliation.

I'm confused, when did I mention her looks?
MrSmith:

So you prefer barbaric responses to barbaric acts. Let's agree to disagree.
--- End quote ---
I dont consider it barbaric

--- Quote ---What exactly do you feel Faye should have 'got' as recompense for what she 'dished out'?
--- End quote ---
Thats a good question, normally for villains I like to see poetic justice dished out. I really dislike it in movies when the underlings get shot but the big boss has to be taken alive to go to court, I prefer seeing the boss get executed.
Having said that Faye isn't a villain, rather a self-absorbed, mean bully. Yeah shes getting better but that cruelty is still there and I'd say that any friendships she has is due to this being a comic and not real life. But she isn't a villain so what should Faye have 'got"
I can't say specifically, it might have been ironic to see Faye on the receiving end of some physical violence (so she can really understand what her actions were like for Marten) that she initiates ie getting drunk and harassing the wrong person
If thats a bit much maybe Bubbles breaks off the relationship after seeing how much of a bully Faye really is or at least putting the relationship on hold to show Faye he consequences of her actions
As I say Faye has improved but that mean streak she has is still there
--- End quote ---
You say she isn't a villain yet you both paint her as one and seem to she receive comeuppance.
If this is only your view relating to fiction, I think we are reading different comics.
If this 'eye for an eye' view extends to reality, then we are simply different people.

--- Quote from: Killspree on 14 Dec 2020, 23:36 ---Just wondering if this behavior would have been acceptable if she had asked for a human femur? If not then she's treating Millie as a thing and not a person. But that's my opinion.
--- End quote ---
--- End quote ---
By the definition Killspree seems to be using, Bubbles is a thing. Is it illegal, immoral, unethical, or fattening for a thing to offer to upgrade/repair another thing? Does the answer change if a human is involved in the transaction?
--- Quote ---Neither can an human femur be replaced. Are Bubbles and Faye treating Millie as a thing by offering such a service?
--- End quote ---
Well actually, Total Femoral Replacement has its own CPT code, so yes, you can.
And unrelated: Millies original femur was repaired. The Grobulax femur does not show any sign of repair. Have I missed something?
