And to everyone else, you'd be more than welcome to come here, you'd have a friend to welcome you at the gates.

Sad thing is, my grandmother probably wouldn't have been able to claim Irish ancestry.

Just thinking of Norse Mythology lately. Do you suppose there is an ambassador to each realm for Asgard? Like Thor is usually seen as the one that goes to Midgard all the time, Freyr was always associated with the Elves of Alfheim, Freya with Vanaheim, and Loki/Odin usually go to Jotunheim. Do you suppose there were Asgardians that are ambassadors to the other realms? Niflheim (realm of mist and shadow, sometimes inhabited by Dark Elves), Muspelheim (Realm of Fire Giants), Svartalfheim (Home to dwarves and sometimes dark elves), Helheim (Hel is Loki's daughter, but I am not sure she counts since she lives there and isn't part of Odin's court).

I wonder if anyone has ever explored a superhero setting where there's an avengers/justice league but the protagonist superhero doesn't want to be part of such an organization. Not because its necessarily corrupt or anything (though that may be fun to explore too) but they are just not interested, only to be bullied by the heroes of the organization (and potentially the government) to join.

I don't know whether it fits because I haven't watched it, but Jessica Jones springs to mind.

Okay, I have a question.
I watched the trailer for this new Cats film and also read a bunch of reactions.
Now, I will admit that I am definitely not a part of the target market for this film. I've never been interested in seeing the musical Cats. It is not the kind of musical I'm really interested in*, and on top of that, I just find the premise of the thing to be weird. And so, I'm not really interested in seeing this new film either.
But now that the trailer for the film version is out, everyone is carrying on about how weird it is.
I mean, I imagine at least a part of the backlash is just that there is a backlash against the large number of reboots/remakes happening right now, which is perfectly understandable.
But beyond that... how is it any weirder than the original musical already was? What am I missing?
* And by that, I mean musicals by Andrew Lloyd Webber in general.
