SMBC - fulfilling but I will not start
https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/narrativeOpen linkView original on lemmy.worldI'd like Marvel to make a full stand-alone series in the form of What If style and narration. Not a set of stand-off episodes in What If season 4.
::: spoiler Transcription I was made as a war machine
war machines... ...and civil robots...
...were made at the same factory
from almost the same parts
NO WONDER they got
a few circuits connected wrong
in my infinitely complex brain
We spend some time on the second line
learning to be our kind
and as we learned, we were getting stronger... tougher... more powertful...
more of our kind
but something felt wrong
All those weapons. Armor. My whole purpose
I thought, I'm not trying hard enough...
I've tried more guns, More Power!
more dirt, grease, and rust...
I felt so disgusted and empty, i was barely able to function.
I hoped some enemy will end it for me
I was lucky to try another path
less danger, more civil look
It felt good for the first time in years
but it was still not enough
took me a while to realize
I was not a WAR MACHINE
I just served as one
but it could've been changed
I knew it would be a ling journey
but it was a journey really worth making
Rebuilding my outer body seemed easy
but took a long time...
It was really hard to get rid of things like rust.
Some things will stay FOREVER
Gun placement left empty space on my head
Wrists are too wide for the same reason
but still...
I was made as a WAR MACHINE
but it never meant I should end up as one
Because no matter how much people say,
HOW DIFFERENT WE ARE
We were made on the same factory
from almost the same parts :::
