While talking to @berserkerzodd about re-reading Weapon X (2017), I started thinking about this panel and Vic’s lil nice gesture <3
I believe that if this had been written by another author, the situation might be different 💀 (or he might not even do anything lol). Oh c'mon!! I’m not saying Victor has to be a feminist ally or anything; it’s just empathy. And seeing occasional glimpses of humanity in Sabes gives the character a touch of freshness, allowing us to say that he still holds onto his ‘human side’ without expecting anything in return 🧡
I know there are people who didn’t like this stage of Vic bc ‘it doesn’t do justice to the character’ or ‘it makes him appear weaker than he should be.’ And I understand that perfectly, but you can’t keep a character in the same line for so many years. I’d even venture to say that it’s intriguing to see him fail or reconsider things, and I truly commend Marvel for allowing it. I hope we’ll get to see a Sabretooth like this again 🐯✨
