The gloves are off, the gauntlet is cast down, yes, it's a Saturday crossword, so you might need some PLOTARMOR to protect you from the absolute deluge of tough clues. starting with, well, speak of the devil, 1A, Protection of a protagonist for narrative purposes, in slang, PLOTARMOR. The fun continues with the clues beneath it, 15A, Get in the pool, say, RIDESHARE, which bumps into the even slier 7D, Bunch of hipsters?, MANBUN -- and that's just the top-left corner!The bar for the rest of the crossword remains at that same stratospheric level, but it did include 35D, Source of Vibranium in the Marvel universe, WAKANDA, and 44A, Father of Jörmungandr, LOKI, so we will not only forgive Adam Aaronson for any transgressions. we will award his oeuvre a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.We love feedback!
