also since the abandoned script of what JC3 was Going to be is again fresh in my mind and is in fact canon on this blog -- I don’t think trish is dead.
the creeper has this moment of rage, and then horror, when he realizes it’s her he’s taking with him and not her aptly-named son, darry. he’s shown later to have suffered very minimal burn trauma ( which … duh, he’s a fucking phoenix ) but major force-trauma and body trauma indicative of just being tossed around like a fucking ragdoll. it was the blast, and not the fire, that damaged him -- he is immune to the fire, it won’t burn his skin. it seems, too, like he took the brunt of the impact.
now of course we’re all thinking Well Ruben What Are You Getting At, Why Are You Telling Us This, What Does It Mean, Just Say It and so. yeah. the creeper wrapped trish in his wings, tucked his chin over her head, and let the missile rip him apart so it wouldn’t tear her to pieces instead. he wrapped himself around her so the fire couldn’t reach her and he left her there to be recovered from the debris.
That Is All.
trish is fine.
he made sure of it.
