a man must have a code
So this morning at Starbucks, the lady wrote Virginia instead of Victoria on my cup. Then one of my co-workers called me Veronica. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. There are only, like, FIVE common names that start with a V. WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO GET THEM RIGHT?
On the upside, last night I dreamt that David Simon was doing a Jason Todd/Red Hood miniseries for HBO, and as part of the promotional material, I received a very cool origami Advent calendar that said "Red Hood Is Coming!" and there were pretty panels of Jason behind each door.
Clearly the David Simon of my unconscious knows that Jason should be Omar. Maybe this dream miniseries would have had Dick/Jason in it, given that it was my unconscious. Sadly, I woke up before I found out.
In other formerly dead sidekick news, I watched the latest episode of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (don't worry if you're in the US - it doesn't air here until 6/24, but I found it on the youtube) and not only did it have WINTER SOLDIER, it had SAM WILSON AS THE FALCON. They both appear to be brainwashed, which is a new thing for Sam, I think. I'm glad they didn't waste a reveal on Skrull!Cap, because that would have no emotional resonance whatsoever. Also, I think I see where the Bruce/Clint stuff comes from now - Clint seems to be the only person who interacts with Bruce when he's Bruce instead of the Hulk. They were very cute together.
I keep trying not to be excited about this, given that it's either being cancelled after 13 episodes or changed to match the format of Ultimate Spider-man, neither of which thrills me, but still! A Steve/Bucky reunion is basically all I want from this show at this point. Preferably without the hugs being as delayed as they were in the comics.
