You want to visit that Danny fellow, don’t you?
on October 3, 2017 at 12:01 amI love the idea of a former action hero trying to domesticate themselves and being profoundly terrible at it. It was an angle that made breaking Sal out of prison worth it to me beyond, HEY LOOK, MORE SAL.

“action heroes trying to domesticate themselves” is basically the premise of Manly Guys Doing Manly Things, it’s awesome
Isn’t that also half the backstory of Pixar’s The Incredibles?
I was just thinking, it’s kind of like the opposite of Commander Badass.
Also the movie The whole nine yards
This would go on to be a major overarching theme of Joyce and Walky!, if I recall correctly.
Also, Shortpacked…. kinda.
Press on
So do you have any super Martian doctor powers?
Everyone comfortable?
They lied to us, bro
Queen of the Ponies
I always felt that Sal’s affection for Danny was more rooted in him being the last vestige of normalcy she had, rather than just really wanting to get up in that mullet.
Sal!
Useless
I just don’t want to THINK about it, okay?
Cryptic
Electric fence
Most of these are oddly fitting.
Don’t underestimate how much your first love can mess with your head. More so if you lose your virginity to your first love. Which I’m not sure is the case with Sal and Danny.
Nope, that’d be Tony for Sal:

Walky’s a big loser virgin!
Better off
Up the ladder!
Those ain’t curling irons…
Pay up pay up PAY UP!
So clearly, there is a sex argument/bet going on in the middle of a mission.
It’s gonna be hard for Sal to have a normal life when she’s on the run and with her superstrength and stuff.
She wouldn’t be the first superhero who tried to run away in comic book history. I think that Spider-Man holds the reocrd but the X-Men are so neurotic that, if it’s not Spidey, it’s one of them.
In the end it is usually the “I can’t dodge my responsibilities” trope that drags them back.
What Sal proposes is a subplot of series 3-4 of Sherlock. (Spoiler: it doesn’t stick.)
Jason… She’s tired okay? Her life is a lie, she’s recovering from a psychotic episode and may have inherited her mother’s neurological behavioural disorder. More than anything, she wants to run away from this because she’s human, she’s tired, she’s scared and she wants out. Is that so impossible to believe?
Jason was only ever trying to save as many people as he could. That said, I do think that he sometimes forgot how young and how abused the Agents of SEMME were and asked more of them than they were able to give.
So how does she plan on having half a child? I can think of many ways but she does realize you can have three right?
2.5 is the average number of children the American family has. Many a joke has been made about having half a child.
… I feel like reading Manly Guys Doing Manly Things all of a sudden.
I’m sure this is not quite where the story is headed, but this feels more and more like Jason is isolating and gaslighting Sal because he wants to get in her pants.
Even Sal regrets loving Danny…poor Danny, except for that one time where you said you love her while still with Billie.
