You say that as if Cal wasn't already alive.

See, I get that, and I agree with you, but then I think "This is Bro Strider we're dealing with here." Sure it's a slightly different Strider than the one we know from the Betaverse but deep down it's still Strider, so there's no telling just how deep the layers of irony go with the guy. So I won't be surprised regardless of what it turns out to be.

Except Bro Strider only had a thin, weak layer of irony to hide his erotic obsession with puppets.

Puppets with long, thick phallic proboscises.

You know, we only have Dave's word that his brother is completely and totally ironic, whereas everything we see of him indicates that Bro is completely straightforward with his interests.

Bro could be completely and totally unironic in every way, and Dave is just covering up just how uneasy he is with the puppets.

I should note that this is a person who wears a shirt with a picture of a hat printed on it. Some amount of irony is at work in this guy's personality.

Okay, close the doors, Bro is the best character in and out of this story and all the rest.

Oh, come on. He's just a pervier Rose with robots.

...Which I guess does make him the best character. Carry on.

Dammit Jake what did I tell you about the LE vibes stop that and take the hat off right this instant young man.

No see that's the thing.
He seems like a douche but his intentions are pure.

GT: Damn it man ive told you this is just something i have to do myself.
GT: Its a promise i made to jade and im going to live up to it even if im not the best or even second best robosmith i know!
TT: Yeah, I know this is your policy. You've done a good job and you should be proud.
TT: But it's my responsibility as your friend to offer one last time.
TT: Just as it's my responsibility not to just fork over a bunch of uranium just because you ask me in a moment of weakness.
GT: Frig!!!!!
GT: Why not???
TT: It's too easy.
TT: And you yourself are the one staking pride in this.
TT: If you were half-assing this project and made some slovenly plea for it, I'd just say, fuck it, here's a lot of green rocks dude, go nuts.
GT: Ok then! Im halfassing it!
GT: Look. See? Only a bisected bottom is present! Where is the other half you ask?
GT: Why... it is nowhere to be found. I didnt use it!
TT: Nope. Not buying it.

He's pushing his bro to live up to a promise he made to himself.

This is something all bros should do to each other. It's a form of support even if it's a tough one.

This guy is like some sort of dedicated ninja sensei he's so cool
