I could be completely wrong here, but I’m guessing this is just Gita’s fixation on Tumblr being shoehorned into the article that has nothing to do with it.

But we all promise to be really supportive of Elder Fahey if he’s unable to snacktaku because of his high blood pressure, right? Right everybody?... <sniffle> 

I’m reminded of Superman/Captain Marvel: First Thunder, where Superman finds out that Captain Marvel (or Shazam because of weird copyright issues) is a small child, confronts the wizard Shazam about the fact that he thrusted a child with that much power and responsibility, and then decides to become Billy’s mentor.

As far as I am concerned, the only Robin Hood movie worth watching is the one where men are proud to wear tights.
