I think it’s obvious that they’re just screwing over director what’s-is-name and not getting him out of that zombie gator and he’s just gonna die. Unless of course he just cuts himself out and comes back at the end of the adventure to say something along the lines of “thanks for nothing a**holes” or a similar situation like that.
What kind of action heroes are they? Mojo is proportional to how badass one is, correct? Therefore, they should be perfectly capable of mojoing out of there. Incidentally, what did that accelerator in Narbonic accelerate? You know, the one reactor the rest of the cast probably avoided for months? Because Mojo is clearly powered by those particles. When Mojoing, those particles become gravitons, temporarily warping space-time to connect two places in space-time.
To clear that up, with “rest of the cast” I meant Artie and Mell. As for why they avoided it, Helen is a motherly figure for Artie, and Mell was just generally disturbed by the Helen-Dave interactions.
As for why a sewer would help them mojo out of there, look up a generic action movie. Fighting zombies in sewers ranks high on the “impressive badassery” list.
Yes, Virginia, this is cool. You have become cool.
Tip, on the other hand, has come a long way from that guy in the filename story who thought it was wonderful to meet a talking dog, and it isn’t in a good direction.
I wonder if Virginia’s response here has to do with her recent episode with Nick. Maybe she’s enjoying this adventure and spouting all this wierd(er) stuff not because she’s having a breakdown, but because she thinks maybe it will impress him or let her walk in his shoes a little.
As far as cutting one’s way out of monster stomachs, I liked Ron Perlman’s approach and subsequent line
I tthink virginia is conecting the dots of just how scifi action movie like her life is she is becomeing genre savy but at the same time she is getting to enjoy one of her favrot genres.
I get the feeling that Virginia’s going to break soon. Not necessarily her breakTHROUGH, but some manner of breakage that results in desperately grasping at things that, from a certain point of view, don’t completely suck.
I do hope that we’re witnessing a particularly slow manifestation, perhaps one that’s gradual enough to turn the scientist Mad (Walton’s Disorder) but not outright mad (more insane than the standard eccentric science geek). I expect Dr. Lee would have been tested for the genetic markers, but that doesn’t mean anything about whether it was a positive or a negative for the potential.
Why, Virginia? Is that a mad cackle of glee I spy??? Perhaps there’s hope for you yet.
Have you no romance, Tip?
I’m not used to Captain Wilkin being the wet blanket, either. Where is Sweetheart when you need her?

In all likelihood, he is already dead.
Or, given where they are, newly undead…
Wait, can’t Tip and/or Artie just mojo everybody to safety?
Mojo is deeply impeded by swamp water and soggy socks.

I believe in Artie’s and Tip’s cases, their “mojo” or related to sexuality, not badassery.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Tip’s mojo is only functional while he’s wearing a dress.
Mojo is clearly trope-powered, and thus can only be used when invoking rule of Cool or Rule of Funny, never as a Deus Ex Machina.
Powers As The Plot Doesn’t Demand?
Precisely.
Yes, Virginia, this is cool. You have become cool.

It *is* wonderful to meet a talking dog. It’s less wonderful to have one as your boss, and find out she’s an obsessive bureaucrat.
Of course she’s an obsessive bureaucrat. She’s a dog!
… I’m sorry, that was speciesist.
Tip tends to be less enthusiastic about adventures that involve mud.
Or mudlike substances that make you wish they were mud.
Hehehe…. I suspect the mad gene is becoming more dominant…
I don’t think it’s psychotic glee as much as a nervous response to a brush with death by a person not used to that situation.
have you on what a day in a zig is like
have you forgoten*
It was inevitable. Hanging around with Our Heroes is just going to accelerate the condition.
That would be cool! “He ate something that disagreed with him!”
“He disagreed with something that ate him” works for Sewer Santa, too.

I have never been more grateful for a movie’s foreign grosses: it’s the only thing driving having a sequel.
That is the absolute CUTEST Virginia has ever been.

eww. she just put a glove covered in sewage to her mouth!

No Tip, hot tubs are hot, not cool.
