I like the accuracy of the eyes growing over time.

Not only that, most fully realized versions of the character channel both the vigilante AND playboy personas to fight crime, using Wayne Enterprises to create welfare programs and jobs so Gothamites need not resort to crime to put food on the table.

There’s a scene where Batman pacifies a room of Black Mask goons without lifting a FINGER - he hacks the projector screen simply shows them a Wayne Foundation advertisement for better, safer jobs. One by one, every man simply drops their weapons and walks out the door as their crime boss irately yells at them to come back.

“It means ‘eat shit’, Mr. Drummond.”

Milchick going off on Drummond was so satisfying. That entire exchange might have solidified him as my favorite character.

Ah, I see. Hyperbole is degrading.

The sibling writing and acting between Devon and Mark never stops being charming. I love their initial banter in the car (“Tragically, you’re you”), and every time Devon reaches out to support him, it feels like genuine concern and affection. Her reassuring iMark in the cabin was so sweet.

Hoping to appease both sides by hand-drawing pro-ai wojaks. Is this how centrism works

Elantris by Brandon Sanderson is a great book about a city of godly individuals with magic and immortality somehow lost its spark and is now populated by equally immortal but shambling creatures who survive forever in decaying bodies.

I love that specificity. I’m happy I know that now

The theme I remember is that if established in a community and reinforced by tradition, any violence could be perpetuated and even endorsed.

nuh uh

Conversely, in an episode of House MD, the titular Dr. Gregory House references Pokemon lore.

Nah, it's a meme edit that's at least six years old at this point. Here's one of the earliest examples I could find.

My theory is that Gemma’s being exposed to “generalized” unpleasantries (dentist, airplane) and “specified” unpleasantries (thank-you cards, the crib). We see Helly working on Siena, and Siena is one of the rooms on Gemma’s testing floor, so we know Gemma’s been in a non-Mark refined room.

If there are other test subjects, maybe it’s useful to have a good collection of “general” worries that they can use on everybody.

fixed it, thanks!

On an rewatch, I realized Irving tells Helena “Hey, kid” to see if she’ll answer “what’s for dinner”. We love our detective Irving B

amended, thanks for pointing that out

It was definitely a brilliant gambit to boost engagement and not at all something I learned only through making this post

I see you've unlocked the secret true ending. As for simulacrum records, gamerh_0ST got to Wave 222 and then got bored. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPeDsD-mfE4
