I saw the stuff about the Srmthfg pitch ideas for Mandarin. Warning dark talk of science experimentation.
What if the Hyperforce unknowingly sent him unto a corrupt prison ship that was performing all kinds of messed up experiments on him and other prisoners and while going through that for YEARS, was thinking they sent him to all that ON PURPOSE! Imagine how horrified they’d be, not to mention the guilt they’d feel because not only did they send him there, but might’ve found out sooner & put a stop to it….had they visited or kept some kinda contact into his status up there💔.
I'm into the idea that one of the justice systems the hyperforce trusted turned out to be corrupt and how team would react to that. Then again that sort of happens with Antauri and the Verons, so the show might not delve that deeply into it (disappointing)....
Tbh, a part of me thinks the team wouldn't feel specifically guilty? They didn't have issues with putting Mandarin into infinite sleep and they weren't as concerned about the Lug as Chiro was. I can see Chiro having issues about it due to the Lug thing though and making more of an effort to reach out to Mandarin. Man, the extra resentment and spite Mandarin would go through would be interesting.
