I wish we had gotten more of PV and the idea that POINT was basically breathing down his neck. Maybe with Grayman being utterly convinced that he was Laserblast, at odds with Foxtail who refused to believe it (though thinking he was the villain responsible for Laser’s “death” - it was just his first move).
And moreover, how PV felt about Chip Damage, considering that he was Laserblast’s “replacement”. And in a way that was pedantic at that.
Though that would have made things fun when the show was still running because of all the theories that Chip would have been an old flame, but NOPE. Literal, actual replacement. A “So I WASN’T perfect enough for you all along!?” type of replacement, at least as far as PV is concerned.
Chip is exactly what everyone expected PV to be as Laser, but he wasn’t capable of being able to reflect on those burdens. To be powerful, to be charismatic, to be able to take being a celebrity of that caliber. And when he was given the capability, he saw that status for the farce it was and chose death rather than finding another way forward. Except it was a “real” death for Chip, collection of drones as he was.
And he left Elodie to pick up the pieces of what hero culture had left her from him and Laser.
And so then…what would that mean…for PV’s perspective on Elodie, who craves fame and attention to the detriment of everyone around her?
