unapologetically murder a random store manager after finding a piece of litter from his establishment
So, not even a case of the store owner doing something wrong, but a customer of his discards the bag on a beach (presumably), a sea turtle eats it, and that warrants killing the store owner? That's psychopathic.
Strictly speaking by the comic frames, it isn't clear it's the store owner, and it isn't clear if it is a Franchise or a sole prop. The ambiguity present allows it to be a random cashier clerk she stabs in the neck with scissors.
She (equivalently) saw a Walmart bag in the ocean, so she stabbed some greeter.
Some good news. The site I use to find these comics in bottles on the high sea are generally reacting the same way towards this, calling the writer a psychopath and criticizing the actions of the two characters involved. Nature Girl is being compared to full blown villains and Curse is being labeled as per the comic as "evil".
Similar to how recent DC comics have posed Superman [Jon, not Clark] standing with a crowd of eco-protestors holding signs with "There is no planet B", [even though Jon's father is not only literally an alien himself, so Earth IS planet B for him, but the League and others know there are multiple planets that can be inhabited and reached by many in DC stories] the recent events in the X-Men comics included the mutants terraforming Mars so that it is now inhabited by mutants. Nature Girl's complaint here is that she's allergic to the planet so "it doesn't count" despite the two main choices being: allergies vs death.
Of course the comic goes with the hyperbolic route that even though there is a safety net in the form of the terraformed Mars because 'it is icky and allergies and stuff' that's enough to warrant lashing out at what is effectively a minimum wage worker of a company causing the problems addressed.
Whatever the writer was going for with this it's not going down well in the slightest. And that's a good thing.
