WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

I know we all love Edna because she’s super fierce and determined and an awesome role model and shit but

do you ever think that she feels intensely guilty over this, having made this suit that lead to the death of this amazing young girl

Maybe there’s a reason she never looks back.

Repeated for emphasis:

Maybe there’s a reason she never looks back.

Edna at the funeral, veiled from head to toe, slowly ripping pages out of her pocket sketchbook and mouthing the words “no capes”

I feel like this is probably the experience that changed Edna’s mind. All the others were experienced, older super heroes that did something dumb and should’ve known better, but this one… This one was one teenager’s small mistake with her clothing AND SHE PAID FOR IT WITH HER LIFE. That’s why: No. Capes. Ever. Again.
