Okay. well, I'm gonna tell ya what I Need. I need some escapism in my escapism.
Cuz, I mean, it's just that.....I can't even go to a Batman movie without taking my life in my hands. Babies being gunned down in Syria. Babies being gunned down just going to see a friggin' Batman movie. Babies being snatched off the streets by some twisted S.O.B.
Yeah... I need some escapism. Go figure. This world is breaking my heart. It's difficult for the good guy to make a difference, much less triumph.
So, yeah, I want to see the good guys triumph. I want to see them make it out alive. I want to see them make a difference. For better. I'm tired of sad endings. PC's dropping like flies.
You know, a good story is shelter and sustenance for the soul. A story that acknowledges that yes, there is loss. There are difficulties, but you can make it.
.......but whatever...just sayin'.
