"We gonna make the metals kiss and the fuel turn lively." One of the best lines in Achewood, ever.
And yeah, this storyline doesn't really go against the character because the characters aren't static- They gradually change over time as different things happen.

This line is probably my favorite sentence ever written, anywhere. Even out of context, it's oddly poetic and vaguely badass.

Yes.
This is an underrated line, lost against the backdrop of the epic Jeep action.
Just so might Oppenheimer's "I have become death, the Destroyer of Worlds", quoting from the Bhagavad Gita during the testing of the first nuclear bombs, have become forgotten were there no one there to hear and remember.

I was just wondering why nobody mentioned this awesome line. I guess the rocksomeness of the rest of the strip pushed that to the back burner.

Note what Ray's dad said - they've been fighting together since they were little, Beef using brains, Ray using fists. It's not surprising that they would work together to get themselves out of this situation.
What is surprising is that it's Ray with the plan and Beef who's following along - maybe because Beef's smart, but not tactically smart.
Or practical with the common sense. Ray always has a plan of action.
Ray Smuckles: He Gets Things Done
It's not that. The GOF is sacred to Beef - he has been obsessed with it since oldest times. He's been dreaming about this moment all his life, which is how he got them this far. But that very dedication is what holds him back now - he's so immersed in GOF history that he can't even imagine going outside the parameters of the game. Only Ray -- who doesn't know "even like one sentence of information about the Fight" -- can transcend the system, "become the ruling body," and truly inherit his father's legacy.
I just think it's sorta cool to see two dudes I like beat the shit out of some guys, you know what I'm sayin?
who better to throw down the Great Outdoor Fight than the Son of a legend, am I right?

That comment was fucking epic.
And their success in the GOF is rooted in their natures: Roast Beef's the cautious, careful planner, with a born worrier's fretful attention to detail, while Ray's whole life is mostly a wild improvisation, and true to his bloodline, "noone said it could be done" is his idea of a perfect plan.
This is quite possibly the most beautiful comment on all the Achewood boards. It needs more chubbies.
agreed
Throwin' another chubby on this fantastically well deserved pile. Man, an archives crawl is immeasurably improved by the scholars and gentlemen of the Achewood community.
I pretty much gave you a chubby for your avatar. Mike Haggar is a King among men.

I think it's a satisfying conclusion. Beef got them through the fight and Ray got them out.

argh, my hand slipped! sorry for the lame.
I think you're forgetting though that these are dire circumstances. Remember that "abnormal reaction to abnormal circumstance is normal." It is difficult to predict or characterize how even well known associates will react in grim scenarios.
I agree with you; they are not acting like themselves. But I also think that they are in some crazy times right now and that they area just playing accordingly.
