Honestly, it’s too bad the only time we see future Tyler is while he’s doing the more humdrum part of vigilante detective work as opposed to the awesome, exciting part.
Don’t think so. If Cecil was strong enough to fly with Tyler’s added weight instead of just towing a balloon, they’d have done that in the first place.
He’s managed something like that for short periods but it left his coat whimpering. In the shrunken state it wasn’t possible to actually fly both of them such a vast distance relatively speaking up against gravity.
Ironically, that should be exactly the opposite. Due to the square-cube law, shrunken, the area of the coat should be able to more easily carry the reduced volume/mass of the kids.
Ah but the distance is now, relatively speaking, far greater than it was before. There are trade-offs after all. Things improve in one area and drop in the other. The main benefit being that Tyler likely could survive a fall from that height without more than a few bruises due to his greatly reduced size and mass making air resistance able to slow him much more.
Y’know, that raises the question of how much fine control Cecil has over the shrink ray. Why not just make Tyler even smaller, shove him in his pocket, and off they go? Or, if he can’t do that, and now that things have gotten good and chaotic up there, likely preventing *too* detailed an observation of events in the local airspace, un-shrink himself enough to fly while carrying Tyler?
… also, how has the Flea not realized that Tyler is Moon Shadow yet? I’m pretty sure that he hasn’t been in totally bug-free areas every time he’s changed…
Of course, knowing the Flea, he’ll reveal that he’s known for a while that Tyler is Moon Shadow, and didn’t bring it up because ‘you didn’t ask’.
That or Flea has never thought to ask bugs to do a recon and report on Tyler, and bugs who just happened to see him change didn’t think it was odd enough to tell Flea without prompting. After all, humans change their funny outer skins all the time.
“Oh, yeah. Hang On.” Does Tyler really have a choice but to hang on. Especially with how much he has wrapped the rope (actually thread) around his arm like that.
Oops!

(“What’s this liquid in the cup that I’ve brought down?”)
Given we clearly see the underside of his pants in that last shot, I’m going with your joke doesn’t work. :p
Wrong fluid. Tyler was trying not to throw up last page, remember?
See his grip in the last panel? Revenant has trained him well.
Yep, he really really doesn’t want to fall when he’s not got his bag O goodies with him.

I’m not entirely sure of that – arguably, he grabbed the wrong rope.
Did he? I doubt it was severed close enough by that he could have snatched the end that Cecil was holding.

Is it bad that all I wanna say is ‘bbbyyyyyeeeeeee’?
What kind of blasts do you think there are? I can see fire, and some sort of laser, but besides that I cannot tell.
Well, the one on the far left is definitely Emerald Gauntlet’s.
“This is probably bad.”
Well, at the very least, Cecil has demonstrated mastery of the art of dramatic understatement.
Only the Sith deal in absolutes.
It’s been pointed out that that statement in and of itself is pretty absolute.
And most retails liquor outlets…
Someone kill the previous post and put it out of its misery.
And most retail liquor outlets…
They are shooting balloons to get what is dangling from them.
Sure invite your friend for another balloon ride. . .

Or the always plausible “I was playing along with the ‘mystery’ because it’s fun watching everybody else flail around in their own confusion” ploy.

We’ve seen the results from when someone tries to shrink something that’s already been shrunk. They’re rather explosive.

Ironically, Tyler could probably just let go and he’d be fine. He only weighs as much as maybe a mouse right now, right?

No surprise why he’d hate party games if this is indicative of how they were growing up, always set up and themed for supers rather than non-supers.
