I just walk around with an IV-drip on wheels. Never can be too safe. I want all of my muscles to be made of spike protein, hell, all my synth-meat is made from spike protein. Synth-meat is all I eat now, trying to be the Jordan Peterson for the Branch Covidians.
I’m a huge fan of the Eternals series by Neil Gaiman. And also an essene/gnostic. I really have no desire to see the movie, but I like your observations. It’s weird, in my real life, I’m a comic book fan, but everyone that finds that out wants to talk about comic book movies. It’s really rare that a non-animated comic book movie can “make it work.” Even most of the animated ones suck. The medium of film is so different than words and art on the page. It’s kind of unsettling to me. I think it’s because reading requires imagination, and film requires you to be still and be quiet, lol. I think that Tim Burton’s Batman, Amazon’s ‘the boys,’ X-men 2, and Kick-Ass are some good examples of the translation from comics to movies. Watchmen was pretty good, too.
If you want an honest answer, it’s because pictographic languages and symbols existed long before the written word.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Plus, what we do is fucking terrifying. We peak into the armpits of the globohomo elite, and we try to see and be the dust escaping from under the rugs —-when the brooms are massive and constant.
We need laughs.
Laughter is the best medicine.
Life without laughter is madness.
