#can't believe i have to paraphrase a marvel movie here but- do not mistake his appetite for apathy

Okay, another for this fucking Argit, Rooters Arc run because I'm still here-
The focus Argit has on food through the Weapon XI two-parter is wonderful and annoying.
Annoying because I have seen so much shit in my time about how Argit doesn't care and isn't treating the situation with seriousness because of his repeatedly focusing on food during the two-parter.
Wonderful because the closest we've seen to him being this food focused is in Cough It Up, where we learn he's canonically a stress eater. Literally "I eat when I'm nervous", actual quote. Of course he's thinking of food for this entire arc, there's no better way they could've shown how serious he's taking the situation and how he cares while remaining in-character and not having him steal too much focus from the others.
A stress-eater and his best friend are trying to get somebody who doesn't trust them to safety before the evil organization that wants to mind-fuck them into soldiers and labrats again tracks them down and attacks- of course the second the the word 'pie' comes up that's gonna draw his attention
Stress-eater has just watched his best friend go through a portal into a hell dimension they're both intimately familiar with, intending to square off against the evil organization alone because it's the safest way to do things- of course he's gonna beeline for the pizza
Stress-eater is stuck in the hell dimension with the people they were trying to save mind-fucked into being soldiers and labrats again and his bestfriend seemingly having joined the evil side of his own free will, all because nobody listened when he said they shouldn't follow him- of course he's going to down the horribly expired but at least it's there food they find like it's nothing
Argit spends that two-parter stressed as hell, with any luck at least managed to put on a pound or two during it, and honestly we should consider ourselves lucky he's only eating actual food this time.
