I think Medusa's hair explanation is more relevant to the character she's named after, the gorgon Medusa, with snakes for hair. But a better way to describe her hair is that it moves like tentacles, not arms and legs.

Isn't Michonne a perfect killing machine in the comics? And Carol is also portrayed as one in the show.

I think No Heroics is a pretty solid show that anyone who watched enjoyed, and a good concept to translate to America, despite failed efforts in development. It sounds like Powerless forces references instead of winks them at the audience. And that it's not really funny.

Crystal does like her men hot tempered and B-list(Torch and Quicksilver), maybe Namor was to highly anointed.

He seems to only have eyes for the Invisible Woman, which makes him a little one-note, despite a flirtation with the White Queen, so he has a thing for unavailable blonde women. As far as I recall, despite the diversity of the Inhumans, there isn't a blonde white woman in their ranks.

Exactly, and the city could easily be tucked away into some obscure or even fictional mountain region. One setting was a resurfaced continent of Atlantis, causing friction, and ultimately a diplomatic solution with Namor.

Totally agree.

Team Kolstad checking in: I'm incredibly annoyed that Boseman presumes himself the better lawyer and Kolstad the better manager. And that Diane bowled over the firm to become a name partner and Kolstad just smirked like it's only good news the Chumhum is coming aboard. I wondered if the firm-shuffling nonsense would

I know those are common names, but international, star crossed lovers, Saeed and Nadia, with interwoven tales of people from other cultures? Is this a prequel to Lost?

I don't think Barbara was conveniently off scene for Marissa's moment, she likely has a busy presence in the office, and I hope she has better things to do than hover around Diane's desk. And so far, Barbara is almost being written exactly as Dianne was in the first few episodes/seasons of TGW.

I think what we really saw was a motion hearing, to dismiss the suit, not the full suit. BUT class actions take a lot longer to build, not in the time Marissa takes a long coffee break in Water Tower Mall.

Likely they all have very similar credentials, then one can go into "fit". "What's a good fit for the office culture and environment?" It can be code to hire only white people, a table that could easily be turned at RBK, which doesn't need to be a malicious effort, but one to build up the ranks of qualified and

I think the mission is being a black owned and operated law firm, taking up civil liberties with its civil litigation and criminal defense. And as long as general hiring bias negatively impacts minorities, particularly in white-collar settings, I don't believe RBK are in danger of EEOC violations. A story I would be

Oh, I'm team Kolstad. She's a name partner of a firm fighting to maintain a culture and mission while an interloper walks in and upends hiring policy while kolstad's position of power to do something about it is immediately marginalized. All building to something.

Another moment that could lead to a plot point is Dianne taking on Marissa, as Kolstad inquired about Dianne's choice, in light of other applicants(of color), which I hope plays out. Dianne was (jokingly) a minority hire, but now she's brought a new dynamic under the wings of her new partnership in a firm that was

In the Oath, Cap acknowledges that he's not the same man before his exposure to Kobik, shares his memories, but knows he's different, maybe a different person altogether.

I have two thoughts on that, which I generally agree on your overall remark. there could be more diversity in the aliens as presented, but that may add more of a distraction, than a consideration. And even on Earth, black bears look mostly the same to us, but you wouldn't argue that there are also polar bears, as they

Excuse me, she was deadly international assassin, White Gold, in Revenge.
