Well it wasn’t a dream we see that from the beginning, and we know she is going to die because there’s no way to survive that. So we know she’s going through some last minute coping to die somewhat happy, it’s not a cheap annoying trick in actuality. However, if you take it as cheap that’s fine too
Spoiler Alert: Every story ever told has been told 1000 times before. Its the natural consequence of being part of a species that has had language for 12000 years and is obsessed with storytelling. What matters is the execution, not how unique the idea is.
Trying to imagine someone dying happy is a shared idea a lot want. Is it used a lot and sometimes with little effort, oh hell yeah. It’s a simple ingredient for storytelling that is gonna be used a lot. It’s like complaining there is flour in all your baked goods. It’s common, not cheap.
The question is was it a good dish anyways?
I think this one was a light snack. Nice. Not filling but nice.
“It was just a dream” and “you are dead” are such cheap tricks for storytelling. Annoying.
I took it as hallucinations due to oxygen deprivation ¯\(ツ)/¯

almost as overused as the complaining about it
The strip is written by Rebecca Sugar; she thrives in cheap storytelling. To her excuse, this is from 2010.
But I like this art style.
