I leave it up to you, Gentle Readers, to decide what word lurks behind the scribble in Scarlet Swordsmistress’ thoughts.
“It’s good to be the new boss” is a tip of the hat to Mel Brooks’ History of the World, Part 1, where the King of France keeps saying “It’s good to be the King” right before doing something juvenile (which, if you’re familiar with Mel Brooks’ work, is pretty much the sum total of everything).
Ever notice how in superhero movies, the costumes look a little off? It’s because they don’t work in real life. Thongs and sheaths don’t really cover what they’re supposed to if you move. Cowls hang up when you turn your head. Mask rash. So Scarlet Swordsmistress is right; comfort has nothing to do with being a superhero. And as far as Shellshock being right, I’m not going to comment on whether her tummy is sexier than, say, Sandstorm’s, because that would be odd.
Hmmm. Well, it looks like he’s keeping the cape. And the helmet.
Unless you’re the Greatest American Hero, a costume doesn’t normally grant you superpowers. Not all flying characters need a cape, and not all tough characters need a helmet.
Let’s see what happens with Shellshock, shall we?
…Because nothing looks more serious on a LEGO minifig and displays obvious leadership qualities than epaulettes.
