The beginning of the film quickly puts an end to that notion. He makes no secret of the fact he thinks the frontlines are Someone Else's Problem. Break the Haughty: Cage is rather content with his current position and station.The subsequent Many Deaths of You montage as he tries to reach Rita further shows how lucky he was to survive as long as he did in the first time loop.But then he does one even better when sheer luck lets him kill an Alpha with a claymore mine and, well, the reset is history. But when he finally manages to find the safety release he actually manages to gun down an attacking Mimic right away, which considering how badly humanity is getting mauled is almost enough to count as a Curb-Stomp Cushion in its own right. For most of the first battle Cage is pathetically useless, with no idea of how to operate his Jacket, screaming for anyone to tell him at least how to take the safety off his weapons.Which makes the After-Action Patch-Up scene, where he casually fixes Rita's shoulder wound, a subtle but powerful milestone of his Character Development. Afraid of Blood: Mentions this to his defense when the general commands him to go filming with the first wave.It's from there that he begins to become more of a badass. Action Survivor: He graduates from New Meat to this early on, at least once he starts to figure out how to avoid dying immediately.This gets him sprayed with an Alpha's blood - and allows him to get their Save Scumming power. Achievements in Ignorance: He clearly did not know what the claymore mines Skinner carried around would do, and yet he used one as a last resort against one of the Mimics.When he kills an especially powerful Mimic by pure chance, he accidentally gets the power to loop back to the day before the invasion, allowing him to find a way to turn the tables on the aliens. The film starts with him getting sent on the frontlines to film the invasion when he tries to blackmail his way out of it, he is instead demoted to private and sent straight into the grinder.
