What was the point of killing off Rebeccawithout even a proper sendoff? Was it purely for shock value because the studio know she would be a fan favorite and would get people talking?

Most of this series is shock value

>>283476331 (OP)
they killed nearly everyone without a proper sendoff. you just care about her because she's hot.

It was just to establish Adam Smasher as a real threat and to show that there are no happy endings in Night City.

Many characters in the show die suddenly and with no fanfare. It's a constant theme of the cyberpunk genre. The show was written by a Pole btw

>>283476331 (OP)
what? most tt parties end up like that, the anime is very faithful to the lore if anything

>>283476331 (OP)
On a meta level she wasn't part of the original story, she was added by the animators and kept in because CD Projekt RED liked her. Keeping her alive or having her take up too much of the screen time isn't really an option.

In world that's the point. There's nothing special about them, you're just following along with them. Just like everybody else, they die and the world goes on.

The way they hyped Adam Smasher is always so hilarious because in the game he's such a dogshit nothing boss.

what. maine and kiwi had last words. rebecca just went splat without knowing what happened

>>283476331 (OP)
People die, anon

? She saw Smasher coming down and started blasting. Wdym she went splat without knowing a thing, you are dismissing her actual last stand

yeah maybe you're right. i just finished the show and im still shook up. she did so much in the last 2 episodes in supporting david and didn't deserve to go like that

>>283476331 (OP)
she died the same as her brother, a sudden death
the sequence where he dies was so fucking weird it felt like a dream sequence

I actually liked it, that was when I started paying more attention to the show because things started to get more serious. But at the end, you wish things could have stayed like how it was at the start

no, it was retarded, we got a party of seemingly immortal characters who go through all kind of shit, I say "seemingly" because they keep getting upgrades and survive all kind of damage, only for the first one to die when they were chilling. the one who killed him was a "literal who" too.

it's the equivalent of a ttrpg where the game master says "and then, a gigantic rock fell on your character and you died, the end."

She was a roastie so good riddance.

It wasn't her show.
