And the yogurt-spit conversation.

I like that all of the parasite's guises are calculated to manipulate David at whatever stage in life he is.

David can teleport himself and others, though. Couldn't that solve the problem?

What do you mean by "mommy tax"? The extra cost of childcare or the limiting of the career or both or something else?

I'm not sure I follow this though. The only way other women suffer for women needing to hire childcare help is if we assume that childcare is only a (low paid) female role, which is itself an assumption that holds everyone back. Maybe I'm not following your point here - is it more practical in that the reality is that…

If your goal is to make your "remake" as similar to a cartoon as possible, then you're actively avoiding being new.

If different actors, sets, and running time made something "fresh" every remake would be. I suppose the music numbers could refresh this, but it doesn't sound like they did.

Yeah. I mean "good reason" is subjective but… SPOILERS (since I don't know how to do the tag)

Possibly. But I can see Jessa keeping the baby and tormenting it whenever she needs an ego boost. Or leaving it with Adam only to reappear periodically in it's life in order to hurt it.

Yikes! Worse than Jessa? Because Jessa delights in cruelty towards those weaker than herself. She sounds like a nightmare mother.

Yeah. "More". Meaning that it was one factor among many. If you make ten dull choices, making nine dull ones and one interesting one instead, would make your story "more" interesting.

That wasn't why the villain was letting her run free.

I though WWI is kind of the perfect example of the senselessness of war. This seems to match WW better as a defender of humanity (as a whole) whereas WWII fit the "fighting bullies/injustice" theme for Captain America.

There's an element of malice in Jessa that Marnie lacks. Also, Jessa seems to have left a broader swath of destruction.

The older women in my life advised me to proceed as if men don't know where babies come from.

All those plots…

I thought WWI was a smart choice given that SPOILER

I don't see why there wouldn't be. It's no more or less accessible than AT, is it? All the kids I know are over 12 or under 2 though, so I don't really know for sure.

Oliver flat out tells David that he has a parasite that "makes him forget". You see the demon scuttling around outside the ice cube. I couldn't tell if it was Oliver having had tons of experience with mutants good and evil (so he recognizes a parasitical one) or if he recognized the specific one David had picked up.

Not sure I follow. What do you take issue with in her writing? Subject matter? Style?
