possibly, much like every big superhero origin story there's a bunch of versions of exactly what happened

it's a joke, because very single adaptation of batman in every medium has to show us his parents being killed

every time they reboot the movies, it happens again

every single time

lol i guess that's why the amazon seasons of the expanse have revolved around these stupid moustache-twirling villains and their asinine schemes, instead of the interesting first contact / international anarchy stuff in the first seasons

bezos, writing on a whiteboard titled movie plot ideas:

"positive emotions"

everyone in the room nods, murmurs in agreement, whispers to their neighbors

bezos holds up his hand for silence. turns back to the whiteboard and blocks what he's writing with his body.

turns back around with crossed arms to reveal: "negative emotions"

the room goes wild, the air fills with howls and roars, men tear their hair, women cry and faint, people fight one another to crawl to bezos' feet

also, if bezos had actually been responsible for the last season being centered around marco inaros, that wouldn't exactly be a count against him. macro inaros was one of the best drat characters in the whole show

the expanse indeed. in the far future space does a good job of making you cut and tight apparently

the casting for their son was good and i feel a bit bad thinking that he'd be a constant mcguffin. the last season's been fine so far even if it's being light on the alien artifacts. i'm gonna miss belter patois when i start a new space show
