Experiment Eight

[status_is_not_quo]

Mom just owled me an article from the muggle paper that says there's going to be an Adventures of Captain Hammer movie. They just confirmed the cast list and everything. Next thing you know there will be a musical or something!

They can't be doing this. You've got to be kidding me. My childhood is over, this is not a test.

This Neil guy they have cast as Dr. Horrible looks like a total goober.

[So curious. Cannot let anyone know. Will attempt to hide it badly.]

Wwhat's so fuckin important about that?

[status_is_not_quo]

[That's adorable.]

Only that movie adaptations are notoriously atrocious, and the series came out almost ten years ago so there will be all sorts of people going to see the film who never read the comics, and then they'll go around thinking that it's canon, and god forbid even better than the original.

You want to read it? I can let you borrow it if you'd like.

[Eridan has to think about all of that.]

So this is like, you bein enlightened about muggle culture? [You know that's something he could almost approve of. Almost. Except MUGGLE except goddamn he really really wants to know. CURSE YOU BILLY FOR BEING SUCH AN INTERESTING FIGURE.]

You could call it that.

Or me being vehemently opposed to a Hollywood bastardization of a treasured childhood memory.

You curious?

im fuckin skeptical a the quality a this

[status_is_not_quo]

What is there to be skeptical of? It's a comic book, not a hand grenade.

[yerawwizarderi]

its a muggle comic book though

[status_is_not_quo]

That's even less reason to be skeptical of it. It's not like it can actually come alive and bite you.

Give it a skim, if you don't like it hand it back. At most, you'll have wasted thirty seconds if you decide it's not worth your time.

...all right
