T-Rex: Something that really resonates in stories is hope and inspiration: we want to see heroes winning, good triumphing over evil. We want to see a better world! So good news, cats and kittens!
T-Rex: I'VE written the most inspirational story ever!!
T-Rex: It's about a world in which everything is bad, and then this one lady shows up and fixes everything! Immediately! It's barely an inconvenience for her!
Dromiceiomimus: Does she encounter any, you know... obstacles?
T-Rex: NOPE! Everything she does works out instantly and perfectly. Wow! I know when I think of her I get inspired!!
Utahraptor: If she doesn't face obstacles, then it's hard to relate!
T-Rex: Ah, so tone DOWN the inspiration?
T-Rex: Okay, now everything she tries fails and then she dies! GOTTA SAY, NOT VERY INSPIRED RIGHT NOW.
Utahraptor: There's a middle ground, man! Where effort is challenged but she ultimately succeeds in SOME ways, but not EVERY way?
T-Rex: What, we'll only relate if successes are MITIGATED??
Off panel: ...I mean - yeah, I guess.
T-Rex: Hah! WOW, that's the greatest condemnation of reality I've ever heard.
Off panel: Oh, I've got more of them!
Off panel: I've got SO MANY MORE OF THEM
