That's the dumbest interpretation ever.
Little actions like "stepping on his tentacle" are plenty of proof - It's called maintaining a "theme".
Why don't you try going back to the flashback pages, and re-reading what Mandy is capable of.
Mandy doesn't know fear. You're completely disregarding about all of Death's flashbacks in regards to their time together. She's the women who subdued Death. She's Death's wife, that glorifies her willpower and personality more than any other being in the universe!
If she had the least bit of fear, she wouldn't have bothered stepping on his tentacle at all. That was a show of discipline, a non-verbal way of saying "Know your place."
Such an action out of fear is completely unnatural for anyone who carries the least bit of fear.
More then that, it's 100% inconsistent with her character!Mandy could easily take down Junior in his current state (let the record show, he can`t control his powers, he can just let them run loose - Mandy's observant enough to know that.)
But more than anything, Mandy is cold and calculating - She's not one to let her anger cloud her judgment.
1) Junior's developing some courage
2) Keeping Mimi alive could be useful in future scenarios against "Him"
3) Killing/Maiming her own son isn't exactly a smart move.
You say she tried to keep control of the situation - I say she had control the whole time. Being in control doesn't mean always getting your way, it means being able keep your ultimate goals in mind.
Killing Mimi is not something that's very important to her, just a momentary whim of rage. Raising a good family on the other hand, (as strange as it is, but apparent after she banged Danny) IS important to her.
You're the one dumbing her down for whatever reason, and underestimate the depth of her character.
just because she doesnt SHOW fear (which she does for a moment when grim says hes going to kill her
http://grim.snafu-comics.com/index.php?comic_id=29) doesnt mean she cant feel it and who's to say jr cant control his powers now? for all we know he may have learned to control it since the time between fighting alongside spawn and now. there is no evidence as of this arc to support that he still doenst have control of his powers and more evidence to show that he does. he was able to maintain a transformation to get to mimi and transformed into his demon state to protect her without losing control and used his tentacles during twister with his sister. youre entitled to your opinino that she kept control of the situation as i am entitled to mine that she didnt and have given my reasons why. you believe she could take jr down as he is ive given reason why i believe she coldnt. im not dumbing down mandy i just think its strange that people glorify her so much. for all accounts and purposes shes still human and can still be killed. jr can not be killed and isnt human. if they each fought with everything they had jr would win since everything he has alsmot destroyed the entire underworld at one point and im saying this as if minnie would not try to stop her brother since she's still able to control his powers. all in all i'll continue to state my opinions and support them with facts from the comic and interpretations i pick up along the way and i'll gladly defend them against intelligent opponents who can also back up their side of the argument.

like you have the evidence

? you have just as much opinion as the rest of us. we do not see any proof that mandy was scared.
did she "shiver"? did she step back? was there "fear" in her eyes? no. there is just as much proof of her being scared as proof of her
not being scared. as groundwolf said, dont be a spoilsport.
there's support to back up that she's not. she purposely stepped on the tentacle of someone who was just inches from attacking her. she even talked about making the girl his pet and replying in nergal that he should place a name tag.[/quote]
yes i have evidence as stated in all my posts. i never said my opinion was worth more than anyone elses and have even admitted that people are entitled to their opinion just as i am and just because someone doesnt show a physical manifestation of fear doesnt mean they dont feel it. also groundwolf didnt say not to be a spoilsport he/she got upset when i called them out to back up their claim and resorted to foul language and an inarticulate way to express themselves. im all for people expressing themselves but if you want to debate then at least be intelligent enough to support your opinon and dont nerd rage when you cant think of a proper argument. also just cause she spoke in nergal dont mean a thing in my honest opinion because its just like if someone spoke to you in spanish and you replied in spanish. its just a language.
