Jenny and Ted discuss Insinuation 2.x.
Episode Notes:
- The interlude formula is character work mixed with exposition
- Why doesn’t Superman have bugs all over his face?
- Practice makes her appear perfect
- Think of the Brockton Bay Public Works budget, Glory Girl!!
- Glory Girl is a loaded gun with a hair trigger… but at least she’s crushing Nazi bones!
- Ted coins the phrase “cow down”
- Does the girl make the aura or the aura make the girl?
- Is it worse to compare Victoria to Donald Trump or to Emma?
- Victoria asks for a favor Amy can’t refuse
- A strong counterexample to the gendered powers theory
- Victoria watched too much 24
- New Wave, new theories
- Finally, extensive details about crime and crime lords in Brockton Bay
- We're already seeing the ripple effects of Taylor's actions
- Okay, maybe Armsmaster had a point
- What would we do with the burden of Amy's power?
- Does Amy first do no harm?
- The dicks-destroyed-to-arcs ratio is surprisingly high
- Does Amy want to be good or just better than her sister?
- Victoria as deconstruction/reconstruction
- Jenny can't stop thinking about Emma
- We're hoping Taylor has to face off against the New Wave, but we're not liking her chances
- Who would win in a fight: Glory Girl or Lung?
