The trouble with any show where you give a character powers is they can then just power out of it. So then you have to take their powers away, and then it's not the show any more. You had that lad in Heroes who could have any power, then they had to take them all away in season 2.
this show continues to be a joy for me because of this sequence, thank you. may we all get our hyper-specific peril fetishes realized in crisp illustrative detail.
Survival Likelihood Tier: B - he's gonna lunge out of the way when it strikes
Someone's Fetish Tier: A - yes don't @ me you want the snake to hypno you and eat you
Survival Likelihood Tier: C - it doesn't seem to be going that fast and he's falling onto grass he's probably fine
Someone's Fetish Tier: F - Crash (2004)
What you don't see is the giant bird fucking the building which is what dislodged him in the first place. Still niche, but definitely a fetish for some
you know, having an immortal character is neat because if nothing can kill them, you can still trap them. you could toss him in a dimensional nexus, bury him in liquid gold ala ninja scroll. or you could throw him in a tomb, that will probably buy you some time at least. or drive him silly!
It's was a show localized as 'star fleet' with a killer soundtrack, but also known originally as x-bomer, and its named in the show. even kept the oiginal name for the mech. it used a simmilar style of puppet animation i think, and it was a real treat when i found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw0AXky83Fo
If memory serves, the only thing guaranteed to kill a Mysteron (which Captain Scarlet technically is) is a blast of electricity, so he'll survive all those.
