She was in a couple Cannon company explotation films in her early career. She has thanked the show for getting her out of that explicitly abusive part of the industry.

Ha, I only called you out because I knew about windhaven already and wanted to share a good book.

I appreciate the goofin’

This one is actually about butterflies. You can read it here.

If you want to read about children on another planet that can fly, George RR Martin has you covered.

Hey thanks, I will.

The settings conceits shift at a whim, and have done so for 80+ years. They exist, then don’t. They all warp and change however is needed by whoever is needed.

At one point, a dude punches reality. Literally hits reality with his fists.

Its fine to argue about any art form, but I think the most pertinent critique of comics is that it’s art for capital. Any story element or setting is for sale in our world. Taking the inner world at any face value while ignoring that is pointless.

The writers pen.

A batman comic book does not have realistic economic systems. Its all hand-wavy bullshit in-service of Batman flying around doing whatever.

Yes, but it’s also an actual curse because of comic books.

Yup. It’s fucking stupid, but it’s there to stop people asking about it.

Fixing Gotham is basically a macguffin that the editors want you to ignore to just enjoy the setting as is.

Dude, it’s comic books. People fly around in their underpants and shoot lasers from their eyes. The conceit of Batman is that yes, he’s nuts, but the Wayne’s have always been intense philanthropists. Like, actually “good” billionaires, also very comic books and just as likely in our world as laser eyed underpants flying people.

The current conceit is that it doesn’t matter what you do in Gotham, underwear or hundreds of billions in goodwill. It will consume you and any who exist in its domain.
