Talk:The Return of Queen Chrysalis/@comment-27078261-20160208183853/@comment-27739895-20160209182144

Ahh... I so wish this gentle "THUMP theory" would be true but...

If we honestly analyze the scene, I believe Chrysalis is trying to intimidate the CMCs and to demonstrate the limits of "friendship and love". If so, it would be mildly intimidating to show them the same ordeal that they are already enduring. I'm afraid the little critter's ordeal has to be, at the very least, a little bit harsher than the CMCs'.

Then, you have the gruesome-looking stain on the next panel as well as the puzzling comment made at a later point by Andy Price, the artist himself... This all seems rather sinister...

Having said that, the CMCs don't appear all that much intimidated by what they saw, and even less so "traumatized".

In the end, even if we choose to rule out the gentler theories, the actual severity of the infamous "THUMP" seems to remain purposely left open to interpretation... ...which perhaps summarizes the existence of "changelingkind" itself, actually.
