The myth of Achilles, but instead of holding him by the heel, Thetis sumberges him fully so that Achilles is completely invulnerable and Thetis has one invulnerable hand.
She only needs one oven mitt when taking cookies out of the oven.
But there would still be two small parts of him that are vulnerable because they were covered by her fingertips at the time, stopping the water from touching them. Which means those fingertips are also vulnerable on her hand
Achilles *putting those little round band-aids on two parts of his ankle before battle*
Thetis *knitting fingertip oven mitts for her thumb and forefinger*
This is a Greek comedy I could get behind
What if she put him in a sack and dunked him in? The water would saturate the sack and soak him and so long as she pulled him out quick, he wouldn’t drown. Then they’d have a sack that’s invulnerable too and can be used as the most unexpected shield ever.
Imagine Achilles storming Troy with one (1) invulnerable sack for a shield
thetis just sticks him in one of these bad boys
and swirls him around like a batch of chicken nuggets until he’s invulnerable all over.

The venom snake plot twist is cool actually, yall were just upset you didn’t see it coming
The game is FULL of foreshadowing, and it still caught people off guard, causing them to complain about it coming out of nowhere. Meanwhile others figured it out like a week after the first trailer.
Venom’s eye colour is different
Venom vapes while BB states that he prefers real cigars in Peace Walker, even stating that the original is always better
Eli’s DNA doesn’t match Venom’s, despite him clearly being Liquid Snake
The Boss’ AI literally states “you’re not Snake”
Ishmael has the same voice actor as Venom, literally states “you’re talking to yourself”
Venom Snake doesn’t know Russian while BB is fluent in it
Multiple references to and uses of David Bowie’s ‘The Man Who Sold The World’, which is a song about a doppleganger (double foreshadow since its a COVER)
Big Boss doesn’t have a sense of smell in MGS3 but Venom does (I admit that’s a pretty hardcore detail)
Ocelot constantly reminds Venom of info that BB should already know to reinforce the brainwashing
If you didn’t at least suspect something was up, you just weren’t paying attention.
Didnt people figure it out just from the fact that he vapes?
Sponge bob is very interesting as an adult viewer because the show has an almost obsession with the economics of daily life. Spongebob has a job. Starts businesses. Worries about getting fired and having to go on welfare or unemployment. You got Patrick who is explicitly unemployed. Squidward who dreams of pursuing his passions but is stuck in a low wage dead end job. You got mr krabs who is a. Wage thieving greedy manager. And you got jokes like this. This show is in dire need of some Marxist analysis
i don’t know how people feel about harley having actual powers but the idea of her being able to pull off ridiculous, “cartoon logic” things like in who framed roger rabbit or looney tunes or tom and jerry whereas every one else has to adhere strictly to “real world” logic is something that I very much want
things like her pulling her giant mallet out of no where or having endlessly deep pockets on her skin tight jester suit
or her having a wile e coyote and road runner relationship with Batman
Harley chasing Batman going through different doors in a hallway and coming out other doors like in scooby doo
Harley painting a hyper realistic alleyway on the side of a building, Batman cruises straight through it in the Batmobile but Harley tries to run through and gets flattened
That last one indicates that it’s a cosmic power that she can’t fully control and doesn’t even always work in her favor, and that somehow makes it even better.
*batman learns to fight toon logic with toon logic and pulls out a fresh baked pie* *harley slowly floats over to the pie, drawn in by its delicious smell and batman handcuffs her*
