This is fucking fantastic.

The thing about shit-talking Waiters is that sometimes they spit in your food.

Mostly.... depends on the hero. I mean how many people knew the origin story of Dr. Strange outside comic nerds? Hell, I am a comic nerd and I wasn’t 100% certain myself. Similarly with Black Panther.

That was a long walk, but it was worth it.

Deep in the Amazon basin there are people who have lived for centuries, maybe millennia with almost no contact with the outside world. They have been born, lived, raised their children and died for generations without seeing anything beyond their forest home. Because of their remote location and the difficulty of…
