Vayntrub seems to be a great person who is highly active in the fight for immigration justice. She absolutely does not deserve to be creeped on.

She's really funny, too  She wouldn't be my first pick for Squirrel Girl, but I was pretty stoked to see her in a big role.

It wasn't supposed to be a mullet but too many artists couldn't seem to figure it out.

There are 2 types of popular isekai/reincarnation manga atm. One basically has the protaganist reincarnate into a new world, generally with some overpowered magic. The other has them reincarnate as the villain in the story who is fated to die/receive a Bad End   The Villainess Will Crush Her Destruction End Through Modern Firepower

I remember long-hair Clark going through Jimmy''s CD collection and referencing Shriekback at one point.

3D Megadoodoo posted:Wasn't Captain Marvel 12 years old? Captain Marvel in the golden age wasn't the same person as Billy Batson. They thought about each other in the third person. It wasn't 100% consistent , but the best stories have them as distinct characters and Billy is summoning Captain Marvel by saying Shazam rather than turning into him. I capitalized "Shazam", then thought that it shouldn't be since it's just a magic word, and then remembered it's a name so it should be. Comic books are confusing.

Oh OK, I've only read like two (American) Captain Marvel stories and I don't think it really came up in them. I just thought it would explain his "oh no a GIRL" thought to some extent.

So this is an example of how phrases change over time. While there were recorded uses of the phrase "making love" as a euphemism for sex in the 20s at the time it was more commonly used for something closer to flirting.

Miracleman of course had the most interesting version of this dichotomy, where they start out thinking of each other as one person, but Miracleman's enhanced super-mind has such different thought patterns than his civilian identity that they end up being so different they literally do not understand each other.

Technically, the word Billy says is an acronym, so it should stylized "SHAZAM" (or perhaps "S.H.A.Z.A.M." if you have a weirdo styleguide). Even more technically, it's a backronym since Shazam worked backwards from his name.

They did a similar joke for the Caped Madman in J-Men Forever, whose invocation is "SHBOOM." I forget most of the acronym (and crap, I can't find my DVD!), but the first O is for Obnoxious, the second for Double Obnoxious, and M for Mean.

I'd assume it was using the 'flirting' meaning as a euphemism and that spread to the point where it became the primary usage. Basically the same way gay came to mean same-sex attraction instead of joyful.

Random Stranger posted:What about when Gomer Pile says it? Gonna depend on context, but the only time I can see the lower-case S is when it's used is as an interjection, and sticking that in the middle or end of a sentence would be weird, but I guess it's possible. All-caps for the acronym when discussing the invocation, upper-case S when discussing the wizard.

What about when used as a Verb? Like "I didn't know what song played in that film, so I shazamed it."
