Hey! Let's talk about Soap and Taco's growing dynamic!
(Ramble under read more!)
I'm sure others have noticed, but Taco and Soap were set up to be very clear parallels/foils of each other this episode.
Taco is taking a step forward to become a better person. she's trying to distance herself from her past and attempt to become "clean" like her associated word.
Meanwhile, Soap seems to be taking a step in the opposite direction! + she realizes her niceness is what cost her from being able to stay in s2 longer than she should have. She is actively seaking to let go of her kind and clean persona that she built!
What does this mean for their dynamic? I think it's possible that Soap is going to enable/encourage Taco's old scheming behavior as an attempt to learn from her.
( Also, this don't have to be boring comment. Yikes! Maybe not the best thing to say to Taco!)
Playing "Dirty" entails a lot and Taco has verbally stated how much she doesn't want to work in secret.
I feel like their gameplay styles are going to crash and cause a rfit in the team. Especially now when Taco is going to be extra paranoid of doing anything wrong.
Not only that, but Taco looks up to Soap on how to behave!! Who says Soap won't use that to her advantage?
+ We've been shown that Taco isn't completely "perfect" yet. In fact, in episode one, we see her actively shutting down Soap's idea and favoring what she thinks. She is still very capable of being manipulative (even if unknowingly).
The wording here is very similar to when she shut down Microphones protests in Test tubes lab. It goes to show that Taco is an extremely precarious place right now.
I'm not saying that Soap is gonna . Like . Uber pull tacos strings or anything . But idk!! Theres a ton set up here!!
What do you guys think? I think it would be fun to focus more on soap and taco esp since taco and mic already had their spotlight last season!
