I love the comic because it suggests that Techie made the wire trees not just because he enjoyed twisting wire, but because he desperately loved nature and had never seen a real tree.

According to the Judge Dredd game these are the ISO Cubes

I really don’t want him to end up in one of these it’s always for like minimum six years and I’m scared he tried so hard you guys and he was being abused and he didn’t know and guys he can’t end up in one of these things

He’d be so alone, so miserable. Missing his family and with nothing to pass the time except living and reliving all his awful memories 😭

jathis:

Does the concept of therapy exist in the Dredd universe?

Because how did Techie manage to get through all of that trauma from his physical and sexual abuse to end up having a kid and a wife in such a short amount of time that Dredd himself still remembers him?

Okay, I’m just going to start by saying this: I love Techie, and I love how the writers gave this HUGE nod to his fans and his fandom. But this short comic book story took all the AU’s, all the ships and the fan-made lore and turned it to shit.

I wouldn’t be as pissed if the comic was good. But they changed Techie’s body type (if y’all remember, Domhnall isn’t skinny as a stick), they gave him a mediocre name LITERALLY MADE OUT OF TWO OF DOMHNALL’S OTHER CHARACTERS, and perhaps most importantly (to me at least) they either omitted or forgot about Techie’s mechanical eyes.

The short flashes of Techie that we saw in Dredd painted a picture of a traumatized man scared for his life and willing to do anything to help him survive. Now, he has a wife & kid, he has logged all that emotional and physical trauma away and is just a dissatisfied ex-criminal? I DO NOT accept that. Techie has scars and tattoos and his eyes were literally gouged out and replaced, and all of this characterization was ignored in the comic.

I may love the Dredd fandom and Techie getting recognition, but frankly I believe we deserve better than this thrown-together thing.

That is a big issue for me honestly

Like okay the inflammation would be gone but the eyes themselves?

And where did he meet Zoe? How did he get over the trauma of the sexual abuse he went through?
