I just caught up on AoS last night. Interested to see where they go with this.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
This seems like the place to talk Runaways, yes?

They pay me in WOIMS
Yes! I'm getting a little impatient for them to actually, like, run away!
I'm also a little annoyed at the characterization of some of the parents, especially James Marters, who is all over the map.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
And just like that, my inclination to watch Runaways vanished. Marsters has become like the Johnny Depp of genre TV for me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Was that mask a nod to Leia's bounty hunter disguise in Return of the Jedi?

To me, it's Molly, I get that she's a tricky character to translate from the comics, but she's just STUPID in a way that doesn't connect to her youth for me.
I don't mind the Marsters in this role.

PREACH! Way too much of the parents.
I also agree that Molly is a weak link. I loved her in the comic - think they should have had her be younger in the series like she is in the comic.
Karolina's mom looks like an older version of Lindsay Lohan, had she not gone off the deep end. IOW, I think she's pretty hot.

AoS
I bet the writers get themselves tied up with plausibility and all that, then one of them shakes themselves and yells, "This is a comic book show! Let's damned well act like it!"
