>>23397222Then you have Colonel Cumpa, who instigates a lot of the conflict of the show being responsible for a lot of confusion death (and the technological advancement/intensification of the human relations that he seems to want). Towards the end of G-reco he lands on the Plateau with Bellri's mother and smacks his helmet on the canopy of the glider as he tries to get out, it's a funny little detail but I think it and when he eats shit eats shit when one of the GIT unit members tries to kill Bellri kicks the glider along the plateau, without even thinking about it, and crushes Cumpa and sends him hurtling off the Plateau. It's a pretty brutal death and I think the lack of regard for his safety (and others) is set up by that initial clumsiness, it's a funny part of being human but it becomes a grave concern when you're actually getting into the physical mechanics of piloting these insane machines. Cumpa looked at humanity in the abstract, and failed to see the little human realities right in front of him which he pays for with his life.
I think a lot of shit like this goes unexplained or uncommented on in the narrative because you're meant to put together the underlying themes together, of course it can be difficult to do that because G-Reco is such a fucking whirlwind. But I think I'll grow fonder of the show overtime. Now if only there were some reprints of the kits...
