Somebody *told* me her reputation was dead! Glad to see it confirmed.

That’d be romantic. A marriage built around the undead is one that won’t die.

“Worldwide, more than 10% of marriages are between first or second cousins.” Even in the modern US, it’s not illegal everywhere.

What if it’s my own superhero, though?

The single thing I can’t get over with is Thor is supposed to be a deep introspection of his entire life and place in the universe — and it’s basically a three day weekend on Earth.

China Miéville’s Embassytown is a very good read that looks at linguistic issues like that.

He’s not your some guy, some pal.

It was my first introduction to Bananas Foster; and Emma Del Monte was shockingly good, too. 

If you see Aubrey Plaza, run!

That’s the part I’m not following. If people who go see it are relieved that it finally meets some minimum bar, they may drag people outside of the usual sector, giving the movie legs.

Maybe it’s well-produced at being horrible!

WOM? I was saying that WW, its own virtues aside, benefited from the low expectations engendered by the DCCU, the lack of other women superheroes, and a rallying point as a symbol of womanhood in a year where that has felt attacked.
