On the right speech team bus, it don't matter what cartoon character you got on your shirt.

Well, no one in that show is without a really bad moment. It's one of its better virtues.

It entirely turned around my perception of that power set, that's for sure.

What I really like though is that is beat one for her awesomeness followed by becoming a speed boat (a little down for beat one) followed by the truly awesome (and honestly funny) infiltration sequence.

Umm, so, I could be missing some nuance in your post but… Catelyn had a bit less time to work on the Bran problem (which apparently wouldn't have been a problem absent villainous intervention) than Cersei had to work on the budding villainous psychopath problem which was apparent pretty early on to a lot of people.

Wakanda isn't exactly secret in the comics so much as secretive.

Fitz is clearly the wild card.

Yeah, the fight choreography they have with her is some of the best I've seen both for balls out 'what the hell, how did someone even think of that?' and for communicating character and competency in equal measure.

Bambi is… less a movie in my house than a crime Disney committed against tearful young Mother's everywhere.

I don't think she's terrible - interacting with her would certainly have its harsher moments, but she's never not showing up for what needs doing.

She catches exactly one break.

Eh… I'm fairly certain Catelyn would've at least taken steps to attempt to curb a child like Joffrey.

I… at one point some poor professional* came in to explain that we would not be able to use en epidural or drugs during our oldest son's birth and I have never been more afraid for someone in my life.

I think you've got a lot of history getting in the way. People can always go their own way, but…
1. There's the one true faith construct you brought up, Orthodoxy doesn't work very well in a Classical context
2. Most of the other stances have complications because subsequent cultures were explicitly working to reject…

Diffren' strokes for diffren' folks, I suppose.

I'd be down for that club.

No, more… avoiding the conversation with Tony for obvious reasons.

You don't think Winter Soldier had at least some variation from the formula character-wise?

I thought some of that was a reflection of his trauma. Like on the one hand, an internal 'no one feels this as much as I do.' On the other, everyone else walking on eggshells and refusing to go into it with him.

I did appreciate the implication that a lot of the informal organization of the city was shaken up enough that organizers like Owsley and Kingpin would end up with disproportionate influence.
