In season 7 Taylor shows a mastery over tropes, to weaponize our familiarity with them to depict the experience of loosing loved ones in battle. Season 6 ended with a very unconvincing death scene for The Red Panda. Like most superhero audiences Kit refuses to accept that he's actually dead, even though its more proof than the army often gets.

But the show committed to it across 2 breaks & half a season.

Then there's the contrast with everyone off to war...
