well, pilots use to cut off their legs cause rapid atmospheric pressure changes would cause the blood to rush to your feet. So people figured that the best thing to do was cut the darn things off. But that was before they figured out that really tights shoes did the job just as fine.

Hey Fox! We learned to control the blood-rush effect of intense G-force flight by tightening our flight shoes! You don't need yours legs cut off anymore!

Yaaay!-- Wait, but my legs were already...

Oooh, oooh! Me too!

By the way Airra, you're a grape earner.
Oh sorry, I meant to say grade eater.
Actually, I mean great editor. I hate autocorrect. Sorrel.

I don't think they've retconned the whole amputated legs thing. I think they more just ignore it as to not call attention to it.
I think they just have metal prosthetics or cybernetic legs now, but we never see them because of their pants and boots covering them up.

Well, I guess... I guess everyone who wants to be friends should PM me their Skype name?

Or maybe they made synthetic-organic replacements using their advanced cloning technology.

Like, how else does Andross's insanely loyal empire manage to throw thousands upon thousands of space monkey soldiers at you without regard to their own safety?

The prosthetic legs idea got removed because it seemed a little dark (God forbid a video game even get slightly edgy), but if you look at some of the character models, you can find one where Fox has no shoes and they look to be pretty human in skeletal structure. Although, I don't consider the new ones cannon because the old ones make more sense: "They use prosthetic legs to prevent blood loss from the G-force of the starships". I don't know how they explain how they do it in the new ones.

Because "Insert techno-babble futuristic sci-fi space-jargon excuse here"

As Doctor Who and Star Trek have proved. Anything is possible in science fiction because you can make up whatever rules you want, as long as it sounds plausible.

If you are familiar with game theory, this might make sense.

Airra · **Posted:** Mon Dec 29, 2014 9:29 pm

That's just a theory.
A Game Theory!
Thanks for reading.

Feels very fitting to say that in the context of metal leg discussions.

senpai likes game theory! yay!

But seriously, I was going to do pretty much the same edit, but with 2 pictures of foxes different legs. Also, with Falco's feet, would he need amputations/tight shoes? Birds are kind of designed to fly and stuff...

Poor bastard child of this comic and the last.

Also, I adore the way Katie drew Fox.

I'm also hoping people realize that "chopping off your legs and replacing them with robot legs" to combat g-forces pushing your blood out of your head doesn't fix the problem as the blood will still leave your head and go to your stumpy legs and torso.

Nintendo looks down on prostheticked people, tell your friends! I think that got retconned with Starfox 64, however. For instance, Falco panics when there's something wrong with the G-Diffuser.

Maybe they lost their legs in an epic battle, and that's why they would have prosthetic legs.

But that's just a theory.
