Talwyn will always be a 5th wheel in this scenario (a very annoying one, imo lol). Plus, they have to juggle Clank and Kit too, who should be the most important relationships for their respective Lombaxes, and vice versa. There’s only so much time and energy the writers can put into one relationship. And either way you spin it, she’ll be in the way of Ratchet and Rivet’s relationship, siblings or no. She’s been smoke in my eyes since her debut in 2007. Regardless if Rivet becomes a love interest or not, I will still want Talwyn gone. But it better be low-key with the main emphasis on friendship. I just want IG to continue building on that in a well-written, unique, and meaningful way.Ī retcon is not necessary for RxR to happen. And I guess that’s already happened in RA. I’ve been waiting for him to realize Clank has been his true family all along, and Rivet and Kit can now be included in that as either their long lost ‘sisters’ from another dimension, or just best friends who are so alike and so different that they feel like true family. I want Ratchet to realize he doesn’t need blood relations to have a true family. I love it when the whole “blood is thicker than water” trope gets subverted, because it’s actually kinda shallow. Though I’d prefer they were all non-related family because that would feel more meaningful, imo. If Ratchet and Rivet turned out to be siblings, that would be kinda cool too. I just want to watch the 4 main characters: Ratchet and Clank, Rivet and Kit, all become best friends. Rivet's inner vulnerability, and the ways she's learned to hide it, is one of her most compelling attributes. She presents it that way, but she later throws her robotic arm down in disgust when she discovers who tore off the original. She looses an arm but then treats having a robot arm to be no big deal. Ratchet is in a position to decline the search because he already has a great life figured out with a best friend and girlfriend/wife, whereas Rivet is often just juggling paranoia and loneliness.Īlso Rivet doesn't come off as someone who would hold grudges towards others doing better in life than her. When Rivet offers to search for the Lombaxes in Ratchet's place, I fully expected her to come to blows with Ratchet over how he's squandering the much better situation he's lived in for his entire life. Rivet, in that same moment, is risking her life as a masked vigilante just to scrape together information to turn the tides against Nefarious for once. Ratchet admits to fearing he's a washed up has-been, suggesting that the time between Into the Nexus and Rift Apart has been completely peaceful, and that the prospect of a hero's parade feels unearned. Right, I'm saying that was an expectation I had going in.
