Trying it over here. Disabled and queer. Word tinkerer (in schools) and word tinkerer (not in schools). Never not thinking about Plastic Man.
So much of the ability to do this kind of characterization comes down to Chechetto's fine-grained faces, btw, which have never left me since his incredible Punisher run with Rucka a decade or more ago. Just a rock-star.

This is the slow work of creating real stakes and committing to them. It's not 'omg, every issue THE WORLD COULD END'. It's 'every issue, the lives of this character and the people they love will change a little bit because of something they did'. Takes a big, defined supporting cast to do well.

Personally, I'd have ended the movie with this one instead. Fits better, as much as the one they chose is one of the top five songs ever written in English.

I'm very interested in the right words, and always have been, which means I'm even more interested in the event horizon where words were almost enough, and now are not, so we need to pick something else to get us the rest of the way over the finish line of understanding. What do we pick and why?
