I don’t like Captain America either! Snooze-ville… But I do like Drew Brees AND Adrian Peterson. How about Drew Brees as Night Owl from The Watchmen? At least he’s kind of sexy in his geekiness instead of pompous like Cap.

In reply to Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness). Because it's so true? Because you, too, recognize the ultimate sweetness and goodness of the loveliest quarterback in the league? (NB I am aware that your team possesses the loveliest running back in the league. Bless Adrian Peterson's sweet humble heart.)

In reply to NWK (@MumsyNancy). I know! How sad would that be? It would be the saddest ever.

In reply to stitchesandmarginalia. Exactly! Step up your game if you have to do evil!

In reply to Ash. Hahahaha, aw, you are so sweet and kind! I will not switch to talking about shoelaces, as I find them markedly less interesting than books. :p There are a few authors I've encountered who are able to write kind and good characters in a way that's interesting. But it's odd to me that it should be so difficult. I know a lot of people who are unflinchingly honest and morally upright, and they are all very very interesting in real life!

In reply to Randon aka Captain Hammer. Mmm, okay, I can see that. Any recommendations for how I can love him without shredding my heart by imagining it is Drew Brees going through all this sadness?

Funny review 🙂 I don’t really love the Captain either, although the comparison to Drew Brees made me laugh a lot.

You have broken my heart with your notion that Drewcap Breesmerica’s revivified brainwashed young partner would be Jimmy Graham. Not Uncle Jimbo!

I hear you on the villains thing. While I would never endorse villainy, if you are going to be villainous, don’t to a half-assed sloppy job of it.

I have no clue who anyone you are talking about here is, except for Captain America & Bucky and I think I like the concept of Cap more than you do but you kind of almost persuaded me to come over to the dark side and think that maybe he’s a little boring because this bit is so true – ‘In real life it is heartwarming, not dull, for someone to be all the time kind and good.’ (It’s a weird disconnect in fiction that probably says something about something?) All this to say that you have a magically sensible storytelling voice and I’d probably be just as interested in what you’d have to say even if you were to inexplicably switch to talking about something like shoelaces instead of books
