Questionable Questing

About how he used to think if he worked hard enough or was smart enough even a normal guy could go up against gods, and the Viltrum showed there were just some barriers you just can't cross. With Superman, the Robins, Wonder Woman all trying to convince him to keep fighting, with Luther of all people eventually getting to him.

With Luther giving him the speech about how Batman's one of the smartest people on the planet and instead of using that big brain to find a weapon or a strategy to beat them, he decided to get into a fist fight with a bear. Referencing the old joke about how if you put an Army ranger and a bear in a forest, you get a dead bear.

With afterwards, Batman moving to an Oracle role for the war and experimenting with drones. But he'll get a scene or two where he gets to do some Batman stuff.

Batman with mexh suit army working with Robot?

Maybe. I was kind of leaning towards him and robot coordinating an army of robots that screech in a specifical tone that blow out Viltrum ear canals. But Ironbat could be fun too.

Remote bat mechs?

Something like that. I'll look around for some examples, but I'm kind of thinking of some of the stuff from the Game Arkham Knight as inspiration. At least for the first gen. But now I sleep. Some good ideas.

Sleep well and writing this week. Will be good

Doing essay work tonight. No talk

See you later alligator.

Essay night. Talk tomorrow after homework catch up

I'm free tonight to chat and you want to read catch up Bastard Glory updates?

FREEDOM! Whoo! How did all the essays go? And Bastard's glory sounds fun. Although not right now, am about to go pick up some dog food for the puppies. Not used to how much food three dogs eat.

Would later tonight reading Bastard's Glory be good for you and I got 13 double spaced pages down for rough drafts with citations.

Am back. Taco's where had and doggies have been fed. And what's the subject deserving of thirteen pages of notes?

Talking about how Honor is written about between the Bloodsworn Saga and The Northman movie. Two different works with different ideas. Both using norse myth and history but their modern writers interpet differently.

Bloodsworn Saga critiques vengeance in a way the norse wouldn't while The Northman focuses on vengeance right but doesn't mention the importance of social dealings to avoid bloodshed.

The main point of my essay being both writers being modern people can't fully grasp that timeframe. Both are really good stories and authentically make use of their inspiration. This isn't about bad vs good art. Its how our worldview, our morality is so intergal to us that to look at these alien old morals is to place our own values on top or hyperfocus on one part and not catch the rest.

And you want those Bastard Glory updates?

I think with Northman, you could also bring up his family and their importance or lack there of in the main story. Since it's mentioned a few times that without him involved, they'll starve during winter, and how his quest for vengeance ultimately doomed his family and how his obsession with glory quite literally pushed them out of the story.
