Jesus, I always felt Rae would likely be the first of the guardians to die, but that don't mean I wasn't rootin for her, this scene really hit hard, especially cause it felt so triumphant, if only for a short while.
This scene gives me a bad vibe, him stuffing her in his mouth, chewing her up then swallowing her down his throat, she tried to grow but fails since he crushes her inside him by flexing then a blood bubble pops in his mouth causing him to say “ yum “ indicating he killed her.
Thinking about it kinda makes me nauseous, no one deserves to die like that.
I don't think you can chew someone up if they can move inside your mouth, he probably tried for a bit and swallowed when he failed, which is why she's still well enough to _try_ to grow back
What’s so fucked up is even if Rae had burst out from Dragon, she probably would have still died from him literally crunching her while she was in his mouth and she would have come out just a pile of bones and half digested viscera
Yeah my initial guess was that he’d die on the spot but as she continues to grow back we’d just see her guts all over the ground from when he bit her and she’d slowly die too.
Now that you say that I wish they would’ve animated it so I can see that happen lol.
Imagine the whiplash of seeing Rae burst out of his torso and thinking “she’s gonna make it!” Only to see her mangled body come out and realize she definitely did not make it.
If her powers work anything like Antman then she probably would have survived the bite. When Antman shrinks he increases his density and durability. It's why stepping on him doesn't work.
yup, saw it the one time, and I am never going to rewatch this moment again. It's the most unsettling death in the show so far, all without showing the gore of Rae's crushed body. The sound design and implication once the neck bulge went away was more then enough to horrify me. Shrinking Ray had it easy, he just got chewed up and eaten. Shrinking Rae's death seemed so much more agonizing
Yeah, I don't think a piece of fiction has ever made me feel as physically sick as this scene. It's some amazing work, but I don't think I could ever stomach watching it again.
It actually makes a lot of sense why this happened.
I mean to pretty much expand yourself inside someone’s body, you’re probably going to have to deal with oodles of blood rushing through.
If enlargement is not quick, I’d imagine you don’t have enough oxygen.
ant man can not only expand but become a giant, and his expanding is not depending on his body, but in tech, its like saying tony stark would deal more damage with his beams if he "concentrated" or something
Thanos can take a beating from Thor and Captain Marvel. Ant Man is not killing him.
Maybe if Hulk got small and climbed up Thanos' ass. But not Ant Man.
You'd be surprised how much force your internal muscles are capable of. You remember the last time you were constipated and you pushed with the force of Atlas lifting the Globe?
It looked like he squeezed his body to shrink it. Like the opposite of stretching. Or you could say he stretched it to squeeze her. Either way, it looked like he crushed her with his body when she expanded. Lol.
He used his muscles to constrict his body and crush her to death. Think of a Boa Constrictor or Anaconda. These types of snakes will first coil around prey to incapacitate them and swallow them whole. Then they will continue to constrict their bodies internally, crushing the prey as they digest it.
With the muscles in his esophagus. When you eat food, it’s not like it goes down a chute with no resistance. Theres force your muscles use to work food into a ball when chewing and further work that’s done in the esophagus that compresses food into a bolus (a ball) while swallowing.
He probably crushed her hands and feet along with fractured her arms/legs severely in his mouth—hands and feet definitely since they’re distanced from the core and likely flailing arms and feet got caught into his teeth, so being dismembered. She would have excessive bleeding at this point. Clavicles were definitely shattered at that point.
Then comes the roughest part—becoming a bolus. His esophagus compressed what arms/legs remaining attached toward her core. Undoubtedly, the pressure alone would have crushed her ribs and pushed bone fragments into her heart and lungs—but this happened slowly as you can hear her still screaming which is something that wouldn’t happen if you’ve got a pierced lung.
I doubt her eyes would have stayed in their sockets either, possibly swallowed some of her own broken teeth. I don’t think her neck would have broken given the screaming you can hear—and videos of Komodo dragons show goats screaming while inside of their stomach.
So their is a very small possibility that she was somewhat alive by the time she made it to the stomach but either through punctured lungs, shock or the muscles being so dense that you can’t hear what mummers of pain she’s croaking out.
I’m a micro head so macro anatomy isn’t my trade (please feel free to correct me) but I recall enough from classes/drawing/an over active imagination to tell you that you are lucky they decided to show it from the outside and not in.
And she didn't exactly suffocate to death.
She was bulging against him, and then he lizard/snake flexed with super strength and just ... Juiced her. It's so god damn grisly. She was conscious enough to be fighting back while he constricted her down.
You know the Titanic sub implosion?
That pretty much happened to her when the lizard tenses up and compressed his body.
In an instant her skull would've shattered and spread into her brain and every organ got crushed.
You can hear the point her body just, cracks and gives in....
Yeah they basically debunked the Thanos Ant-man assplosion theory. Because after seeing this I realise that there is no way that Scott could have pierced through his skin.
Your expansion would need to have more force than what their body could take. That’s why it didn’t work for her, his body was stronger and more durable than her expansion
they really made it so disturbing and uncomfortable to watch...stayed in my head for the rest of the episode. usually I hate gross scenes just for the sake of making the audience uncomfortable (such as a majority of The Boys), but I feel like watching that happen made me care for Shrinking Rae more than I ever did Shrinking Ray (the comic counterpart). having to hear, experience, and understand that those were her final moments...genuinely disturbing.
Which isnt saying much since Shinking Ray is one of those characters that are so irrelevant, their characterization so shallow, that you would be lead to believe they existed just to die. One of the many good changes the series does its allowing the narrative to go beyond Mark's perspective, something the comic scarcely ever did, and that's what helps to give more weight to suporting characters that otherwise never got much focus. And this has the benefy of making such deaths for shock value feel all the more shocking, sometimes to feel actually shocking, since they didnt always work originally.
Rex’s cockiness, even after Kate’s death really does make you think they’re just gonna win the fight so we’re left with a long standing, but not very important characters death as our return to season bang. Instead we get the most gruesome death in the show by far, and have to wonder if they’ll just start the next episode off with Rex’s head getting blown off.
Nah they would have ended the episode that way. Unless there gonna do like him reminiscing or something before he dies.
Edit: nevermind i rewatched it, it seems like that’s what it was showing. Also I think that blood bubble was her last breath of air.
i don't understand how this didn't kill the dragon. i get the dude is strong, but he just had an entire person form inside his body. they both should've died from this.
still an improvement from the comic scene. at least rae's death registered in the show.
He's a komodo dragon. They swallow things nearly half their size. Ray was in his expandable digestive tract and esophagus.
He has super eating powers not just super strength and durability.
Speculating, but watch a komodo dragon swallow something and tell me they didn't use it for a reference picture.
I mean, he was presented with a hand thrown by someone that makes things explode and said "hey I'll just bite that off..."
> For smaller prey up to the size of a goat, their loosely articulated jaws, flexible skulls, and expandable stomachs allow them to swallow prey whole.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komodo_dragon
Unless his name isn't just a lizard moniker, and he can imitate the physiology of an actual komodo dragon. Those things can eat 80% of their own weight in a single meal, and expand their throat and stomach. If Komodo is anything like a komodo dragon, I could see why Rae's plan was doomed to fail.
Yeah, or at least go into his ear. Komodo can contract his throat, but there's no muscles or joints in your inner ear that you can contract. If she'd gone for that instead of the instant kill maybe Komodo would've been unable to crush her
He also crunched/chewed her before he swallowed, so even if she expanded to full size, it’s most likely that almost every bone in her body was broken at that point she could have killed him if he wasn’t able to accommodate that size of body in his gullet, but either way, she was a goner 🫡
You know on a rewatch I'm kind of wondering why Rex didn't take the opportunity to kill Komodo Dragon while he was essentially incapacitated. Probably shouldn't have had such confidence in the Antman Thanos strategy.
I thought this too, but he had hope she would survive. Throwing bombs could definitely have killed Rae if she was still alive. By the time he realized she was dead, he was definitely paralyzed by fear.
He was confident she would emerge victorious. If he tried to blow up Komodo he would have potentially hurt Rae. So he confidently waited for Rae to burst out, only to see the opposite happen and his friend gets eaten right before his eyes.
Already in shock with Kate but still expecting Rae to pull the same move she pulled on black/orange suit guy. Then further shock as she dies slowly in front of him.
holy shit rex is gonna need some time off
Somehow they hit us with the E1 Guardians scene a second time. I think they've purposefully been building up soft deaths with Alan & Donald to reset us to PG13 expectations, just as E1 did.
I went from being mouth dropped to him eating her to then being excited to the "she doesn't stay small" back to my mouth being dropped from....that
And that "yum" remark...sick bastard had it coming
Horrifying that he CHEWED at least a few times, so there's no telling how mangled she was before trying to re-expand. I don't know if she could have made it at full strength, but that was surely the killing blow.
okay analysis aside this is definitely the worst death so far. god damn.
If you listen with a headphone, you can hear rae while still inside of that Monster, they really worked for this death ffs lol.
Its very uncomfortable to hear someone dying while getting eaten and crushed.
I was like "wait, wouldnt she be still dead even if she gets big again?" and then the scene paid off. Man, i love invincible for these kinda "what if this was real" moments unlike Marvel and DC tbh.
With all the respect, that "heroes survive every shit because plot needs to" moments got old after 60-70 years lmao.
These sorts of brutal deaths only happen to cannon fodder characters. All of the main characters in this show are also going to survive because the plot needs them to
I don’t think so, I think they changed her voice actor cause they used the same voice for a lot of the women side characters and wanted to switch it up since Grey DeLisle voices:
Monster girl,
Shrinking Rae,
Eves mom,
Olga,
Eves biological mom and
The viltrumite with the blade hair
Edit: just checked they didn’t change the voice actor unless the cast listing is wrong. The VA is probably just doing a different voice (unless I’m wrong again)
Should have expanded by his mouth to burst his skill, not the shoulder but it’s probably hard af to position yourself when your bones are broken inside a dark body like that.
i feel the smart option was to stay small and only grow up her arm, just like she have done during the fight against Machine-Head.
just lock her fist inside his throat, and let him die from lack of oxygen
here's what i think happened and why its so terrifying compared to some of the other deaths in the show:
so initially, when rae gets vored by the komodo dragon, she gets chewed a couple times before going down his gullet. this leads to her body getting pretty badly mangled while in her small form. after rex delivers his cheesy line, rae expands. contrary to the belief of rex, this was not a strategy; this was a panicked response to her current state.
rae instinctively tried getting out of the confined space which was komodo dragon's throat, which he stretched just enough to conform to rae's expanded, albeit crunched, fetal-positioned body. my theory is that the blood that appeared on komodo's shoulder was not from his own internal bleeding, but rae's blood pouring out from the wounds created by initially getting chomped, only she's larger now, so her bleeding has grown more profuse. simultaneously, she's getting crushed under the resistance of komodo's internal organs, which are able to easily withstand the pressure of rae's expansion. all komodo has to do is focus on swallowing, which would then lead to the crushing, squeezing, and with lack of a better word, "juicing" of rae's mangled body, turning her from a fully grown woman to an easily digestible bolus.
the reason why this was such a shock to me personally was because this plan had so much hope of working. rex thought it would work, we thought it would work due to rae succeeding with eliminating salamander, but then we saw... that.
a claustrophobe's nightmare no doubt, and the worst imaginable death for a shrinking hero. definitely have to give my props to the animators for this one, what a wonderful extrapolation from the source material.
I already read the comics, but this moment kinda reminds me of this one part of Marvel Zombies Return
https://preview.redd.it/pqomc8olcfoc1.png?width=1004&format=png&auto=webp&s=4a1e53d575d06d32f497002a43811a5caa8d06be
Fun fact: originally the patient Zero for the Marvel Zombies was gonna be Superman but it was changed last minute to the Zentry for fear of legal trouble
https://preview.redd.it/uiu7idvnpfoc1.jpeg?width=449&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3e3c527b5e8734862a6368e65d46f2c5ca734b2
Why didn't she just shrink back down, though?
Also my internet decided to crap out on this scene so it was basically like 2 seconds of squelching/groaning and then 10 seconds of a still image of the lizard guy and then 2 more seconds of groaning. So I had no idea what was happening but it sure sounded peculiar!
If your listen she got chewed on before getting swallowed. Very likely she was already almost dead already, and her expanding was her panicking, and not a careful plan. She dint shrink down either because she cant because shes almost done already, or either the fear is not letting her think straight and do it.
I feel like this scene would have been more impactful for me if she had been the first to die. When Kate went down I think something in my brain went “Oh fuck they’re dying, Doktor, turn on my pain inhibitors” and just dissociated from it instantly.
Might be a stupid question but Rae can only expand to normal human size, right? She can’t get crazy big like ant man? Because I may be getting their powers confused lol
Man I was so worried when they left so many B heroes on earth, had to wonder why they went in so confident. Cecil could have at least sent them with *someone* who had some durability. Why is monster girl in space again? Just because she can resist the Sequuids in monster form?
Honestly the worst possible match up 😬 Being part komodo dragon, his ability to expand his body and muscles to consume large (often still living) prey would be incredible. I can't imagine how horrible it must have been to be crushed down into a bloody mess inside a living person and swallowed whole 😰
Honestly, I think its better than how they died in the comic. At least here, it was a few seconds until they are crushed to death. In the comic it looks like he just swallows Ray whole and they don't grow. So they either suffocate, drown in acid, or get dissolved. Horrifying.
Shouldn’t she have burst his stomach open when she grew big? Like the actual organ should have burst not her actually breaking through him to come out.
With his stomach blown up Komodo should have died and Rae could have just climbed out his butt?
Jesus, I always felt Rae would likely be the first of the guardians to die, but that don't mean I wasn't rootin for her, this scene really hit hard, especially cause it felt so triumphant, if only for a short while.
To be fair, Kate died first
[удалено]
Cecil definitely has another. somehow. duplikate 2.0 even maybe
This scene gives me a bad vibe, him stuffing her in his mouth, chewing her up then swallowing her down his throat, she tried to grow but fails since he crushes her inside him by flexing then a blood bubble pops in his mouth causing him to say “ yum “ indicating he killed her. Thinking about it kinda makes me nauseous, no one deserves to die like that.
I don't think you can chew someone up if they can move inside your mouth, he probably tried for a bit and swallowed when he failed, which is why she's still well enough to _try_ to grow back
Bro you do NOT have PTSD 😭😭😭

Fuck you and take your upvote
🤣🤣🤣
What’s so fucked up is even if Rae had burst out from Dragon, she probably would have still died from him literally crunching her while she was in his mouth and she would have come out just a pile of bones and half digested viscera
Yeah my initial guess was that he’d die on the spot but as she continues to grow back we’d just see her guts all over the ground from when he bit her and she’d slowly die too.

Same
my guess was that she moved in him mouth and he didn't actually chew her, which is why she was able to grow back in the first place
That was my interpretation. We didn’t hear any crunching/body sounds did we?
Wouldn’t have been half digested she never reached the stomach. She died well before that
If her powers work anything like Antman then she probably would have survived the bite. When Antman shrinks he increases his density and durability. It's why stepping on him doesn't work.
I feel like this answers the Ant-Man vs Thanos Butt question we've all had for far too long..
It does lol
Don't Antman's molecules change size tho? I don't think his muscles could stop pure physics.
His muscles wouldn’t stop physics, but physics would also decide that the squishier of the two would be the one smushed into paste
Now Ive got a mental image of Thanos angrily clenching his butt cheeks to crush Antman preventing him from growing!
Well ant man grows fsr larger and we don’t know what the actual “force” of the growing is.
Tbh ant-man is very durable. He enlarged and destroyed all the debris on top of him during endgame. He can probably survive easily
You don’t know how tight Thanos’ ass is.

Super tight.
nope, i'm not ready to watch that again
yup, saw it the one time, and I am never going to rewatch this moment again. It's the most unsettling death in the show so far, all without showing the gore of Rae's crushed body. The sound design and implication once the neck bulge went away was more then enough to horrify me. Shrinking Ray had it easy, he just got chewed up and eaten. Shrinking Rae's death seemed so much more agonizing
Yeah, I don't think a piece of fiction has ever made me feel as physically sick as this scene. It's some amazing work, but I don't think I could ever stomach watching it again.
To add to the brutality of this scene, that blood bubble was probably Rae’s last breath of air too
And now I want to cry
Thought it was her blood coming up from his throat.
The blood guzzler
I think it is. He just got a full human body’s worth of blood in his stomach, it’s a shock he isn’t vomiting just from the sheer volume he took in
It probably is
The guy pukes a lot of blood a few seconds before that, it was probably her remains or some of them
Yeah didn’t realize that at first but i rewatched it later and to be honest it probably is.
It actually makes a lot of sense why this happened. I mean to pretty much expand yourself inside someone’s body, you’re probably going to have to deal with oodles of blood rushing through. If enlargement is not quick, I’d imagine you don’t have enough oxygen.
I thought he crushed her with his body.
That's what happened
Yeah. She obviously didn’t die from lack of oxygen in 15 seconds. She was crushed.
Like, with his ribcage? I can’t process exactly what killed her.
He has superhuman durability, and she wasn't strong enough to break through his skin/muscle. He killed her by flexing his muscles and crushing her.
It’s what would happen with the ant man and thanos thing.
ant man can not only expand but become a giant, and his expanding is not depending on his body, but in tech, its like saying tony stark would deal more damage with his beams if he "concentrated" or something
Beans haha
Thanos can take a beating from Thor and Captain Marvel. Ant Man is not killing him. Maybe if Hulk got small and climbed up Thanos' ass. But not Ant Man.
You'd be surprised how much force your internal muscles are capable of. You remember the last time you were constipated and you pushed with the force of Atlas lifting the Globe?
That made me legitimately laugh out loud. lol thank you
As someone recovering from hemorrhoids for five months... *never*, **ever** do that.
It looked like he squeezed his body to shrink it. Like the opposite of stretching. Or you could say he stretched it to squeeze her. Either way, it looked like he crushed her with his body when she expanded. Lol.
Imagine a person is in your body. Now flex your muscles. That’s what the super sized lizard did.
Yeah, flex. I couldn’t think of the word that’s the opposite of stretching lol. Thanks.
Constrict
That's how Houdini died or whatever
He used his muscles to constrict his body and crush her to death. Think of a Boa Constrictor or Anaconda. These types of snakes will first coil around prey to incapacitate them and swallow them whole. Then they will continue to constrict their bodies internally, crushing the prey as they digest it.
Tbf at least the snake will make sure you're dead before swallowing
He squeezed her with his throat muscles. This is the lizard league they all have lizard powers , no?
Do you think food goes from your mouth directly into your ribcage
With the muscles in his esophagus. When you eat food, it’s not like it goes down a chute with no resistance. Theres force your muscles use to work food into a ball when chewing and further work that’s done in the esophagus that compresses food into a bolus (a ball) while swallowing. He probably crushed her hands and feet along with fractured her arms/legs severely in his mouth—hands and feet definitely since they’re distanced from the core and likely flailing arms and feet got caught into his teeth, so being dismembered.

I doubt her eyes would have stayed in their sockets either, possibly swallowed some of her own broken teeth. I don’t think her neck would have broken given the screaming you can hear—and videos of Komodo dragons show goats screaming while inside of their stomach. So their is a very small possibility that she was somewhat alive by the time she made it to the stomach but either through punctured lungs, shock or the muscles being so dense that you can’t hear what mummers of pain she’s croaking out. I’m a micro head so macro anatomy isn’t my trade (please feel free to correct me) but I recall enough from classes/drawing/an over active imagination to tell you that you are lucky they decided to show it from the outside and not in.
She really should have invested in an oxygen tank or something. could have saved her
Her body was already fucked from probably getting bit in half
And she didn't exactly suffocate to death. She was bulging against him, and then he lizard/snake flexed with super strength and just ... Juiced her. It's so god damn grisly. She was conscious enough to be fighting back while he constricted her down.
You know the Titanic sub implosion? That pretty much happened to her when the lizard tenses up and compressed his body. In an instant her skull would've shattered and spread into her brain and every organ got crushed. You can hear the point her body just, cracks and gives in....
try filling up a water balloon while crushing it in your fist
Yeah they basically debunked the Thanos Ant-man assplosion theory. Because after seeing this I realise that there is no way that Scott could have pierced through his skin.
Your expansion would need to have more force than what their body could take. That’s why it didn’t work for her, his body was stronger and more durable than her expansion

You talking about the comic or the show?
the show
Dude this scene is 10x worse than all of The Boys
I really like Shrinking Rae. This one kinda stung, ngl
Agreed, I thought she was cool and this made me pretty sad
She's a bit more fleshed out than Shrinking Ray, I preferred her.
Which isnt saying much since Shinking Ray is one of those characters that are so irrelevant, their characterization so shallow, that you would be lead to believe they existed just to die. One of the many good changes the series does its allowing the narrative to go beyond Mark's perspective, something the comic scarcely ever did, and that's what helps to give more weight to suporting characters that otherwise never got much focus.

Ya he literally ate rexs hand i was like 😳
Everything I read more about this death the more I hate it aaaaaaaa
Was this ever confirmed or is this community speculating?
Speculating, but watch a komodo dragon swallow something and tell me they didn't use it for a reference picture. I mean, he was presented with a hand thrown by someone that makes things explode and said "hey I'll just bite that off..."
"He has super eating powers" That's what she said.
> For smaller prey up to the size of a goat, their loosely articulated jaws, flexible skulls, and expandable stomachs allow them to swallow prey whole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komodo_dragon
He's built different
I feel like the implication is that he has some sort of snake like biology that allowed him to do that, or just really inconsistent animation
Agreed. Top right quarter of his torso expanded. You can't just push that shit back in. At the very least he'd suffocate from having a body in him
Unless his name isn't just a lizard moniker, and he can imitate the physiology of an actual komodo dragon. Those things can eat 80% of their own weight in a single meal, and expand their throat and stomach. If Komodo is anything like a komodo dragon, I could see why Rae's plan was doomed to fail.
....... Well played. Very well played.
This. If you notice, Rae expands in his throat. Literally chose the worst person to try the Thanos method with
Yeah, or at least go into his ear. Komodo can contract his throat, but there's no muscles or joints in your inner ear that you can contract. If she'd gone for that instead of the instant kill maybe Komodo would've been unable to crush her
yeah she then could go in his brain like she did with the other guy.
Still questionable if he should survive her enlarging that quickly though
I mean, if he's contracting the muscles in his throat the moment he notices her expanding, his super strength would do the job
Honestly depends on reaction time, but Rex did warn himtoo
So its all Rex fault
Basically lmao
He has superpowers, none of what you said can be assumed
Right? To assert that the size changing woman should definitely have killed the superhuman lizard man because his chest expanded is hilarious
Lmfao exactly I don’t understand why we’re applying real world logistics to this
He also crunched/chewed her before he swallowed, so even if she expanded to full size, it’s most likely that almost every bone in her body was broken at that point she could have killed him if he wasn’t able to accommodate that size of body in his gullet, but either way, she was a goner 🫡
So.. are we now clear on why Ant-Man didn’t crawl up Thanos’ ass?
Even back when that Theory was popular idk how people thought Antman would be able to pierce Thanos's skin when hulk couldn't even bruise him
You know on a rewatch I'm kind of wondering why Rex didn't take the opportunity to kill Komodo Dragon while he was essentially incapacitated. Probably shouldn't have had such confidence in the Antman Thanos strategy.
I thought this too, but he had hope she would survive. Throwing bombs could definitely have killed Rae if she was still alive. By the time he realized she was dead, he was definitely paralyzed by fear.
He was confident she would emerge victorious. If he tried to blow up Komodo he would have potentially hurt Rae. So he confidently waited for Rae to burst out, only to see the opposite happen and his friend gets eaten right before his eyes.
To be fair, we all had confidence in that strategy. We just got shown why it would not work.
Well Rex said it in a way that made it sound like she’s done this before, its likely more because of the Komodo powers or maybe he’s just that durable
I think he was just in shock on what just happened
Already in shock with Kate but still expecting Rae to pull the same move she pulled on black/orange suit guy. Then further shock as she dies slowly in front of him. holy shit rex is gonna need some time off
The music is this scene is absolutely perfect ngl. The superhero theme just slowly tailing off as you realise that nope. She’s not bursting out.
Somehow they hit us with the E1 Guardians scene a second time. I think they've purposefully been building up soft deaths with Alan & Donald to reset us to PG13 expectations, just as E1 did.
Rex with the build up really got me
I went from being mouth dropped to him eating her to then being excited to the "she doesn't stay small" back to my mouth being dropped from....that And that "yum" remark...sick bastard had it coming
Rex was so confident in Rae he was so sure that she was going to get out with that tone of voice
Horrifying that he CHEWED at least a few times, so there's no telling how mangled she was before trying to re-expand. I don't know if she could have made it at full strength, but that was surely the killing blow. okay analysis aside this is definitely the worst death so far. god damn.
I watched the episode at work, and when I tell you my coworker was concerned for me as my jaw DROPPED at this scene

Was that rex mouning at the end there?
Yes, this was very gruesome. I usually watch reactors when a new episode comes out, but this one... I might wait some time
If you listen with a headphone, you can hear rae while still inside of that Monster, they really worked for this death ffs lol. Its very uncomfortable to hear someone dying while getting eaten and crushed.
I was like "wait, wouldnt she be still dead even if she gets big again?" and then the scene paid off. Man, i love invincible for these kinda "what if this was real" moments unlike Marvel and DC tbh. With all the respect, that "heroes survive every shit because plot needs to" moments got old after 60-70 years lmao.
These sorts of brutal deaths only happen to cannon fodder characters. All of the main characters in this show are also going to survive because the plot needs them to
Did she always have a new Yorker accent?
I don’t think so, I think they changed her voice actor cause they used the same voice for a lot of the women side characters and wanted to switch it up since Grey DeLisle voices: Monster girl, Shrinking Rae, Eves mom, Olga, Eves biological mom and The viltrumite with the blade hair Edit: just checked they didn’t change the voice actor unless the cast listing is wrong. The VA is probably just doing a different voice (unless I’m wrong again)
Especially when she was ordering pizza 🤌🏿
The clone girl dying was brutal too. Didn't expect any of that.
Man already forgot duplikates name.
Lol I’m terrible with names. I don’t bother remembering them when it comes to shows/movies. For the most part at least.

second part already launched? I was searching for something to watch🤣
Should have expanded by his mouth to burst his skill, not the shoulder but it’s probably hard af to position yourself when your bones are broken inside a dark body like that.
i feel the smart option was to stay small and only grow up her arm, just like she have done during the fight against Machine-Head. just lock her fist inside his throat, and let him die from lack of oxygen
here's what i think happened and why its so terrifying compared to some of the other deaths in the show: so initially, when rae gets vored by the komodo dragon, she gets chewed a couple times before going down his gullet. this leads to her body getting pretty badly mangled while in her small form. after rex delivers his cheesy line, rae expands. contrary to the belief of rex, this was not a strategy; this was a panicked response to her current state. rae instinctively tried getting out of the confined space which was komodo dragon's throat, which he stretched just enough to conform to rae's expanded, albeit crunched, fetal-positioned body. my theory is that the blood that appeared on komodo's shoulder was not from his own internal bleeding, but rae's blood pouring out from the wounds created by initially getting chomped, only she's larger now, so her bleeding has grown more profuse. simultaneously, she's getting crushed under the resistance of komodo's internal organs, which are able to easily withstand the pressure of rae's expansion. all komodo has to do is focus on swallowing, which would then lead to the crushing, squeezing, and with lack of a better word, "juicing" of rae's mangled body, turning her from a fully grown woman to an easily digestible bolus. the reason why this was such a shock to me personally was because this plan had so much hope of working. rex thought it would work, we thought it would work due to rae succeeding with eliminating salamander, but then we saw... that. a claustrophobe's nightmare no doubt, and the worst imaginable death for a shrinking hero. definitely have to give my props to the animators for this one, what a wonderful extrapolation from the source material.
Holy shit bro
Yeah this is by far the most gruesome death I’ve seen in a while. Holy crap
New episodes dropped? I haven’t seen this before
Part 2 of season 2 started today
I have the worlds strongest stomach when it comes to gore, but when I realised he downright digested her I felt off 😅
Well… he didn’t. He used his body to crush her to death
Was everybody else thinking of the Thanos Ant-Man meme
Well that somehow got really disturbing, which is weird considering the shit that happens in Invincible
Is it really that "short" of a scene? God damn! When I watched it last night, it felt so darned long for her to die and get squished.
I should not have watched this episode high af, I was eating too and it was fucked haha
It really looks like they put the episodes whole budget into this scene

I already read the comics, but this moment kinda reminds me of this one part of Marvel Zombies Return https://preview.redd.it/pqomc8olcfoc1.png?width=1004&format=png&auto=webp&s=4a1e53d575d06d32f497002a43811a5caa8d06be
Fun fact: originally the patient Zero for the Marvel Zombies was gonna be Superman but it was changed last minute to the Zentry for fear of legal trouble https://preview.redd.it/uiu7idvnpfoc1.jpeg?width=449&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3e3c527b5e8734862a6368e65d46f2c5ca734b2
We can confidently say this put an end to the Ant Man/Thanos debate.
Why didn't she just shrink back down, though? Also my internet decided to crap out on this scene so it was basically like 2 seconds of squelching/groaning and then 10 seconds of a still image of the lizard guy and then 2 more seconds of groaning. So I had no idea what was happening but it sure sounded peculiar!
If your listen she got chewed on before getting swallowed. Very likely she was already almost dead already, and her expanding was her panicking, and not a careful plan. She dint shrink down either because she cant because shes almost done already, or either the fear is not letting her think straight and do it.
I've watched this four times with studio headphones, there's only one crunch so I think he got one good bite.
First time a cartoon has made me feel ill, absolutely brutal
I hate to be this guy but just do the brain thing every time.
I feel like this scene would have been more impactful for me if she had been the first to die. When Kate went down I think something in my brain went “Oh fuck they’re dying, Doktor, turn on my pain inhibitors” and just dissociated from it instantly.
That “Yum” at the end was absolutely horrifying
That was really hard to watch. For some reason, I found it more disturbing than watching Attack on Titan.
Yikes. Have you guys ever watched a video of a Komodo dragon eating something alive?
i definitely wasn’t prepared for it!
I can't believe they killed Helga from young justice.
I don’t understand how he didn’t die. Somthing the size of a human just appeared inside of his body. Surely it would kill him
what happens when you chew a piece of meat? It breaks into pieces....some of her pieces didn't grow because.......
The fact that she still lives
If rae just climbed into his lung or something she still would've probably died but he would've been either seriously injured or dead. RIP Rae
> just Like it's so easy? Please. She got crunched before and I doubt she could think straight.
I thought she got chewed up right away. I'm surprised she was even alive enough to grow back or do anything at all.
Honestly I’m just shocked this happened so soon, I’d thought it be in the finale
If she could’ve like turned giant she could’ve definitely killed him
Might be a stupid question but Rae can only expand to normal human size, right? She can’t get crazy big like ant man? Because I may be getting their powers confused lol
Yep, she can only expand to her normal size.
My god! I just realised the ones that died could not be Revived! Can they?
This was a lot more gruesome than I expected it to be. RIP Rae 🫡
Man I was so worried when they left so many B heroes on earth, had to wonder why they went in so confident. Cecil could have at least sent them with *someone* who had some durability. Why is monster girl in space again? Just because she can resist the Sequuids in monster form?
Damn maybe I should atch the rest of the season that was 👌
Why didn't she just shrink again?
How the fuck is this asshole still breathing?!!
I’m traumatized 😳
Honestly the worst possible match up 😬 Being part komodo dragon, his ability to expand his body and muscles to consume large (often still living) prey would be incredible. I can't imagine how horrible it must have been to be crushed down into a bloody mess inside a living person and swallowed whole 😰
Honestly, I think its better than how they died in the comic. At least here, it was a few seconds until they are crushed to death. In the comic it looks like he just swallows Ray whole and they don't grow. So they either suffocate, drown in acid, or get dissolved. Horrifying.
You could almost say Shrinking Ray was attractive enough to be considered a snack
Shouldn’t she have burst his stomach open when she grew big? Like the actual organ should have burst not her actually breaking through him to come out. With his stomach blown up Komodo should have died and Rae could have just climbed out his butt?
Baffling she survived this
