What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I've been thinking about how much I like it, because I was thinking maybe I thought Finding Nemo better, but lately I'm thinking it may be better because I can identify with superheroes better than fish. Finding Nemo may be funnier, though.

And my disbelief is heightened by the fact that I thought an old-school comics fan like Broomy would surely have seen it by now.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

I don't watch movies unless I have friends who'll go with me, and my circle of friends has a habit of going to see movies without telling me. Fortunately, this girl seems to have the same problem.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Cool. Something in common. ;)

I was about to say. There's a girl now, dammit!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I know there are lots of superheroes who are related, but I can't think of ones who actually fight as a family.

Power Pack - but they were siblings. And kids.

Amusingly enough, the Marvel summary mentions that Franklin Richards, son of Reed and Sue, whom I didn't even know existed, joined the Power Pack at one point.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oy, years of successful deliberate amnesia, and you bring it all back!

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Actually, Brad Bird said in an interview that the powers map onto the roles/personality of each family member, rather than a specific FF reference.

Though Violet needed to make it clear the force field power was more a way to keep people away from here...

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I had had a though about TT 18. Right at the beginning of the issue, when Future!Bart is talking to Rose, he says that the "Titans from the past are here. Just like I remember it." But later, when Bat!Tim and Robin!Tim are fighting, Bat!Tim says the future Titans are going to erase the kids' memories to preserve the timeline. So how does future!Bart remember ? Is it a plot point, or was Johns just being sloppy?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'm pretty sure it's a plot point.
