Red Team fans have all the right to be mad about how Red Team is constantly treated as comic relief, but we should acknowledge that this treatment has basically turned them into gods.
They can’t be harmed. Look at puny Blue Team. Wash takes a bullet to the throat and gets brain damage. Tucker gets stabbed in the gut and collapses. Weak. Pathetic. Sarge takes a bullet to the head and just needs a little CPR and he is right as rain. Grif gets run over by a tank, and just needs some spare organs, and he is back on his feet. They can’t be touched. They can’t be killed. They are invincible.
And it’s not just physical harm. They are free from moral responsibilities as well. Remember Carolina chewing out Tucker for wanting to kill Temple? Never mind Sarge, Grif and Simmons whistling innocently while Surge and Gene are melted by lava. No one keeps an eye on them. No one expects it from them.
If this treatment continues, Red Team cannot be contained. They will become more powerful, and when we first realize it, it’s too late.
