2.x - "Really Dysfunctional"

Jenny and Ted discuss Insinuation 2.x. Episode Notes: The interlude formula is character work mixed with exposition Why doesn’t Superman have bugs all over his face? Practice makes her appear perfect Think of the Brockton Bay Public Works budget, Glory Girl!! Glory Girl is a loaded gun with a hair trigger… but at least she’s crushing Nazi bones! Ted coins the phrase “cow down” Does the girl make the aura or the aura make the girl? Is it worse to compare Victoria to Donald Trump or to Emma? Victoria asks for a favor Amy can’t refuse A strong counterexample to the gendered powers theory Victoria watched too much 24 New Wave, new theories Finally, extensive details about crime and crime lords in Brockton Bay We're already seeing the ripple effects of Taylor's actions Okay, maybe Armsmaster had a point What would we do with the burden of Amy's power? Does Amy first do no harm? The dicks-destroyed-to-arcs ratio is surprisingly high Does Amy want to be good or just better than her sister? Victoria as deconstruction/reconstruction Jenny can't stop thinking about Emma We're hoping Taylor has to face off against the New Wave, but we're not liking her chances Who would win in a fight: Glory Girl or Lung?
