No, she looks *somewhat* skeptical only in panel 2. Panel 3 is more like dread. (That’s not the right term though, if anyone finds a better please say so).
Also, I’d like to think they really do have team tutus, like Narbonics Labs had official pajamas.
No, I’d stick with “dread”. In panel three they both have that look that I’ve seen on some of my high school students… that look that says, “please don’t make me do that on stage.”
Seems to me that it could be scepticism at the “I do not believe this level” or the “My intelligence has just been insulted” level too although I wouldn’t rule out both. Mind you, I won’t rule out the possibility that she will fall for this one since she’s a good agent (Or perhaps because she wouldn’t mind a good excuse for not obeying orders?) but I’d say that it’s 50-50 here and that Nera may have overreached. ^_^
Yeah, looks like Nera pushed it too far. Cinderblock has shown little evidence so far of being stupid, and is obviously more intelligent than Goose Girl.
I seem to recall that the first joke of her introduction was the characters *thinking* she was like she was going to be like She-Hulk because she was the team’s tech support, and then it tuned out her idea of tech support was a fistful of percussive maintenance. So saying she’s smart enough to be a skilled lawyer is pushing things. Admittedly, Mel’s idea of tech support would probably be ballistic maintenance…
Come now, Neera… You’ve missed out on an opportunity to see some less-performed parts of the repertoire. You could have chosen “the Fairy’s Kiss” or “Job: A Masque for Dancing.” Or you could have embraced your inner Savoyard and ordered them to perform “Pineapple Poll,” which I daresay fits the situation.
GG: OOH! OOH! GEESE ARE PRACTICALLY SWANS! I CAN DO THIS!

I’d say “Appalled”…

I’d go with “appalled,” too.

Goose Girl can’t help being a bird brain, while Cinderblock mind has a solid foundation.
+10 ^
Cinderblock hasn’t exactly shown much evidence of being smart, either. Being smarter than Goose Girl isn’t saying much.
She seems to be an expy of She-Hulk and She-Hulk was bright enough to be a skilled lawyer. Which would make her about as bright as Mel.

Maybe. But I myself was reminded of the old cliché that the way to bet a faulty machine going again was by banging on it. Especially since it seemed to work for her.
How terribly quickly power corrupts…
I think Cinder block is about to give Cerebriac another “adjustment”! (inadvertently reconnecting the dormant AI, which immediately rampages…)

Neera, don’t get on the hubris train! The brakes are bad and there is a lot of cliffside track!
Half of this comic wouldn’t exist if anyone actually followed that advice.
How quickly the supervillainess soon overreaches! ^_^
Alternatively, Cinderblock may actually check the circuits and realize that Cerebriac is not what they think it is….
A Waffle Heart?
You don’t love waffles?
How ’bout having them take off their shoes and walk on hot coals? Team-building exercise…
That sounds like something the PHB would make them do in “Dilbert”.
Sounds more like something Catbert or Dogbert would make them do, to me.
It’s been done for real—I’d cite a twenty-year-old article if I knew where one was—but Scott Adams has also written about it, too…
