I think a neat detail about Rebecca is that her brother was killed by someone going through cyberpsychosis and instead of rejecting someone going through a similar condition, she reaches out and tries to help David. I think that's one of the most human moments in the show

[@madjackgamingandfitness498]

When you get down to it the show is very human. It’s young love, young tragedy. It’s pains and emotions a lot of people go through early in life and sometimes before you even have the time to learn your lesson it’s over.

[@thegrimcritic5494]

My favorite moment with Rebecca had to be when she was walking home with David and she asks him why he froze up in the middle of a firefight. It gets to a point where she tells him he needs to cut back on the cyberware and playfully remarks that she’s got chrome enough to protect them both. David starts to give a dismissive reply, but then Rebecca IMMEDIATELY cuts him off by saying in a stark, almost commanding tone, “I’m serious.” That was the moment I realized that the show’s writers hadn’t written her with the intention of just becoming a meme or simple comedic relief. She was, as others here have said, a genuine ride-or-die friend. Yes she has a crush on him and, yes, she knows she can’t have him. But damn her if she won’t tear the world apart to make sure that the man she genuinely loves comes out okay.

[@ghostchannel4766]

Something that helps sell that moment is the framing of the scene, too. During the entire walk (and many other scenes) it's hammered home how small she is. David (at least post time skip) is shown as large. Though he only takes up the space of the direction he is walking in. But when we get that line, the camera abruptly cuts to Rebecca taking up the entire frame. When she's serious, she's more commanding.

[@syedmohammadanas3055]

LUCY : the girl who everyone wants REBECCA : the girl who everyone need

[@acephantom903]

In my experience, it is reversed. Funny because it seems like most of the fans support Rebecca more than Lucy. Not hating on Rebecca other than the fact that she is only a few steps away from being a loli which weirds me out. Rebecca is a great friend and a great part of the crew while Lucy abandons the crew after they lose the leadership. However Rebecca needs someone to ground her while Lucy is fully independent. Having to be the grounding rod for someone is exhausting and can pull away from who you are as an individual -- many people desire this for some reason. Yes, Lucy and David both lied to each other and kept secrets. Those are flaws they had for each other. If they were both more open and communicated properly they could have had different outcomes.

I think Rebecca represents the human experience to an extreme degree. Every emotion she feels is so vibrant and bursts from her. Shes in complete contrast to the dreary soulless machine that is Night City. Whatever emotions she feels she feels it to the Nth degree. The final episode was so sad especially from Rebeccas POV. She truly loved David, probably more than Lucy did, but deep down she knew that it wasnt reciprocated from David in the same way. She put her feelings second and realized they needed Lucy because she knew that she was the only one who could bring David back from the brink of losing his humanity. Everyone focuses on David and Lucys relationship because they are star crossed lovers but i think what I just described was the most altruistic form of true love ive seen in modern media.

[@Cinxdr]

Atelast her and David went down together

[@CrimsonUltrafox]

I'd do anything to have a girl support me the way Rebecca supports and loves David. I've told people countless times in my life that true love is loyalty and sacrifice. I learned this during my time in the marine corps. The people who REALLY love you are willing to die for you. They're willing to suffer with you. They consider your happiness and success an extension of their own. They won't abandon you even if you're at rock bottom. They are 100% ride or die. Most modern-day relationships and friendships treat people as disposable. Tinder swipes and fairweather friends being the most egregious examples. Someone who loves you won't leave for greener pastures or a better deal. They don't have a plan B. They have a Plan You. It's almost sad when you realize this, since it brings the epiphany that so few people in the world truly love us. The average person might know the love of their parents and siblings...maybe a close friend or two. However, true romantic love is very rare in the world. For people who have ever known true love, It's an all-consuming and beautiful experience. One that's so impossible to replicate that it leaves you feeling isolated and empty when/if you lose that person. With all that said, I feel like too many people in the world today throw around the word "love" with casual disregard for its true meaning. Thanks for covering this topic and insight into Rebecca by the way. I agree with your message that she is a perfect example of true love. I feel like more people need to see these examples so they can avoid toxic relationships and find empathy and connection with others.

I wish I knew better how to recognize people like that… I once had a relationship I was willing to do absolutely anything to preserve, and every inch of me believed we were in it together, but she turned out to be far less committed, and basically traded me in for someone else. It’s been four or five years and I’m still not over it-I haven’t dated anyone since. I still feel empty inside, like an old dog waiting for their master to come home.

Talking about the scene where she says "Alright David, lets go, to the top then". And in the end, she helped him achieve his goal and died alongside him. Hands down best character of the show.

It took a few seconds before someone broke the deafening silence. "He got you too, huh?" David paused and nodded with a small gloom on his face. "Yeah.." Rebecca finally sat up and looked at his eyes. His eyes were fixed on the white wall a few feet across the room. A small cloud loomed inside the room but somehow, David didn't budge. Until he felt someone warm on his shoulder when he finally snapped out from his trance, it was Rebecca resting her head on his right shoulder. David could only stare at her. Her head smelled like Lavender. "David?" she mumbled but pushed through. "Can I stay like this, just for a while?" David finally broke a gentle smile and leaned on her for a bit. "Yeah.. Sure."

I love your videos so much and when you dive into a character's look. Can you due Sterling Archer from Archer.

[@figo3554]

I love seeing character analysis like this. Keep up the great work!

[@ItsJoeHut]

You've been doing so much good work on this channel, I really hope that you'll get your chance to blow up soon! Your content is fun to watch and if someone were to discover your channel today, there would be so much past content to binge! Best of luck and thanks for covering best girl in this video :D

I think Rebecca being offed was very…. Heart breaking and painful for me. It hurt a lot even and to be honest ruined my entire night when seen DESPITE knowing it were to come soon. What frustrates me is how she truly loved David to the point she would die for him at all costs just to keep him happy like a good real friend would do. Every time i think of the anime i say “Lucy never deserved David” because she didn’t. She wasn’t there for him. She didn’t tell him to lay off the juice unlike Rebecca did. It makes you wonder how things would have turned out if they got together… yet again, in the end David chose his self destructive path from the start that i don’t think anyone could have had helped him avoid that and only makes the tragic story all the more aching.

[@theinnerscience3947]

Gonna have to follow you. As a writer who tends to make more dark, psychological horrors, hearing your insights on characters really has my creative juices flowing

[@brandonhall7498]

Everyone deserves a Becca in their life, and every Becca deserves better...DAVID.

[@PiccsChannel]

Rebecca was an amazingly real character. I hope everyone is lucky enough to have someone like that in their lives.

[@scottyhuntington8753]

I didn’t realize how attached I had become to Rebecca until the end … and then I couldn’t stop bawling. Hard messy cry with snot everywhere. One moment I was fine and the next the damn had burst and was nowhere to be found.

[@sandoristar7597]

Becca's voice when she says "to the top then" is heart breaking.

[@damoyquentin4684]

From my point of view, Rebecca is a loyal friend with boundless empathy in the same way that Jackie is with V, ready to involved themselves in situations or adventures whose outcomes may have irreversible consequences such as their own death, in order to help their loved ones 🥲. Be that as it may, as soon as we mention the way their relationship as friends ended, tears and a kind of emotional shock seize me personally in a quite systematic and sustainable way 😢. Even though, I don't always have their positivity as much as I would like. I really, as they do, do my best to help the people I care about and the people who get my empathy's attention. I wish to all those who will read this commentary, to find someone like Jackie or Rebecca as a friend or soul mate to face what the future holds, especially in the hardest and darkest times in our lives 🤞. May they rest in peace and continue to watch over their loved ones who are still among the living, as our unfortunate deceased loved ones probably still do. . . ❤‍🔥

Thank you Georgia for covering her so perfectly. I have been waiting for this.

[@GeorgiaDow]

You're so welcome!

[@sarahloonam8532]

@@GeorgiaDow it warms my heart how you have replied to all of my comments on this. Rebecca is me if I was morally ok with hurting other people. Thank you Choom

Favorite character for 2022 check. Decent review on said character check. this is now one of my favorite channels

[@djmyboi3597]

I know we don't have much of Adam smasher stuff in the show, but Id find it hella interesting if you did some research on him and do a break down of him. That's just me

[@SomeGuy1234X]

You have to refer to the table top game to learn about him. Basically, he is a sociopathic ex soldier who lost his body in war. He 96% cyborg and only takes jobs with high collateral. He is essentially a high functional cyber psycho. Also he is supposed to sound like Elvis Presley.

[@ForestRaptor]

YES! More vilains and assholes. Maybe stick a torchlight up his output and really see what the hell is up with that deranged MechaCyborg

[@justin-hurd]

It's something that makes her really relatable for people in similar situations, where at the end of the day if you can't be more than friends with someone, the least you can do is try your best to support them, keep them safe, and help them find the happiness they want.

[@onebraincellproductions]

My autistic self identified so strongly with Rebecca. The major difference between how I view the similarities is she's an extrovert, I'm not, but her intense hyperfocus on the well-being of those around her, choosing the happiness of others over her own, etc. It reminds me so much of my friend group that it hurts (Most of us are autistic)

[@StaK_1980]

Rebecca ... wasn't my first choice. But I kind of warmed up to her precisely because of her qualities. Best wingman you can have! 🙂

[@kianamarrie]

This is the second video I’ve seen you talk about Rebecca and I’m growing a huge soft spot because she truly does have layers that I was not aware of. I took her for granted. 🥺

[@BraanFlakes08]

i really love that you do these. i had therapy for a while but it was too expensive so i had to cancel. my therapist was never really engaging and it felt like i was going to a class more than anything. hearing the psychology of these characters in shows that i love has really been a great source of therapy for me. its really engaging when i get to know more about things that i love while also getting a better understanding of human behavior and tendencies including my own

[@UpendiChannel]

Thank you so much for this video!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@benjaminszatmari4714]

Lucy is the girl we want but Rebecca is the girl we need. It takes maturity and wisdom to see and appreciate someone like Rebecca. She is in this love triangle were she is treated like a pet, … loved yes, but not taken seriously or be valuable enough to be a love interest. Yet Rebecca adores David to the most, not only having a crush on him but also having a very deep devotion towards David as well. She is even giving in and goes after Lucy even if Lucy is her rival but she is willing to sacrifiece her chance to get closer to David just to save David and heal him up (mentally) as much as possible. Rebecca reminds me of these heroine characters from the antiquities but rewritten in the 19th century in the age of romanticism. Being hopelessly in love in someone but unable to fulfill her desires or being unwanted or experiencing an unfulfilled love. Absolutely tragic especially how she meets her end. She deserved better. She is/was a true friend and a fiercly loyal partner in crime to the bitter end. By the way I absolutely love the neck paint and costume, great as always!! 🌟

[@justinm6839]

Just found your channel due to the algorithm really loving your cyberpunk videos. I can see why! Entertaining, engaging and if i may say so, You are ROCKING the cyberpunk aesthetic! Lookin' forward to your upcoming vids.

[@GeorgiaDow]

Awesome, thank you! hope you stay. = ))

[@chosnbot]

Ur video are so well made!! Thanks for diving into the psychology of the things I really enjoy!! Ur awesome

[@mkelly033]

Love the video and analysis. Great cosplay.

[@GeorgiaDow]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JustGromski]

I think it would be interesting to go over her personality and the reason she may have developed it. My thoughts about her is that I feel like her extreme personality is compensation for her short height with everyone treating her like a kid because of it and her general appearance. By acting more violent and foul-mouthed she appears more adult which leads her to behave that way. I never heard anyone else talk about it or see it that way tbh but I think it's an interesting way to think about her.

[@NidhCthon]

Amazing video doc! I wish we had a live reaction; your insights help raise awareness of the delicate scene-building and writing the show puts on display, which may not always be obvious in all of the adrenaline.

[@pgagneaux]

bruh, I was already well aware of all the things she just said, but the way she explains it still made me tear up. I need a therapist like this dude.

[@EsporHB]

Seeing you pointing out how she acts made me cry again. I love Rebecca so much!

And made them part of the game,well in scripture on a mausoleum but nonetheless.

[@realMrVent]

Once more, I appreciate that you _don't_ cut out the parts where you're noticeably close to tears. It adds to the humanizing experience and shows us that you're not just coldly analyzing these characters and their stories.

[@Jae77]

thank you, your analysis helped me find some closure to this heartbreaking show

[@finfen9730]

Rebecca is the GOAT and one of the best female characters written in years. In a world where people cycle out their parts to become less human, it amazes me how much humanity cuts through in this show.
