Jenny and Ted discuss Shell4.x (bonus).
Episode Notes:
- Ted is wily!
- As is Wildbow. Way to hide the ball, Wildbow.
- Boo! There’s racism inside this feminism!
- Maybe Kayden is tragic but not sympathetic?
- She’s also seemingly very ineffective when not fighting
- Kayden and Aster as symbols
- Purity, blankness, and whiteness
- Is Theo too “pure”? Or is he lacking “manliness”?
- Empire Eighty Eight sounds like working at Amazon
- I don’t really have a quippy line about this, but we try to grapple with how 2011 supervillain Nazis feel different from the 2025 mundane ones
- Does Kayden want to change? Or even want to want to change?
- Oops we compared Purity to Tattletale
- If we can think Kayden's a hero for three-quarters of the chapter, what does that say about heroes?
- Purity and Bakuda are both changing the odds for the upcoming gang war
- This is an interlude more like what Jenny was expecting
- Jenny reads the first five words of the next chapter
- Does the dog die??
