Huntress' Diary
Chapter 5
Dear Diary,
Well, it seems very likely Donald Trump may be our next President of the United States. These are very dark times, I tell you. First that unspeakable attack in Paris by those godly awful ISIS terrorists, now all this Trump controversy. Honestly, for the life of me, I can't even imagine what in Hera's name possessed him to run for president? I mean, be fair, he is happy as a multi-millionaire, right? Right? Well you know what they say; the grass is always greener on the other side. Oh my, and then there's the matter of Bernie Sanders. Honestly he's the exact spitting image of that old guy from that show Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David. Oh and don't even get me started on Hillary Clinton. She is just very, very bad news. First we had that little blowout with her husband, as you all recall, now she's following in his footsteps which could only mean NOTHING GOOD will ever come out of winning the election. I remember Granny telling me in the old days presidents could be re-elected to serve more terms. Unfortunately, after FDR's passing in the final days of the Nazi incident, that idea was vetoed and replaced by two terms and two terms only. Those bureaucratic red-tape bastards
Also Dick thinks there are aliens among us. I mean, is he for real? Superman's an alien, Supergirl's an alien, Power Girl's an alien, Martian Manhunter's an alien, for crying out loud what else do we need; a freakin' UFO spaceship? Geez, I wonder what he and Amy do when they're all alone… not that I'm implying or referencing anything, mind you. Speaking of aliens, it is a few more months until Independence Day: Resurgence. And all I can say about it is: we're screwed. I mean, yeah, we blew up the 1st mothership, big whoop. Maybe if Will Smith realized that maybe that little ship that survived the whole ordeal was actually a distress signal to send all their Martian buddies here to kick the crap out of us in retaliation. And seeing how… huge the new ship looks in the poster, it's a safe bet this definitely will NOT be a happy 4th of July. And to add insult to injury, Universal has announced a third and hopefully final chapter to their infamous Purge series. I mean, seriously Universal, WTF is the matter with you? It's a slasher film that involves psychos terrorizing poor people just because senile greedy rich old bastards said they can and it's all over a stupid law that allows all crime, murder, whatever to be legal for 12 hours only. I mean, really? That's your best idea? And why in every film are you saying unleash the beast? What the hey is that supposed to mean? Is it one of those arc words? In case you didn't do your research on TV Tropes, arc words means a recurring phrase or saying that has a strong motif or plot point. The most famed example of arc words would have to be: who killed the world from Mad Max: Fury Road. It keeps getting repeated over and over, as we dive deeper into the film to understand the meaning of it all: why do the Five Wives keep saying they are not things? What's with the War Boys screaming Witness Me when they do something crazy? And who killed the world and made into the toxic, hazardous, bandit-filled wasteland we all know and love. Was it the government? Was it Immortan Joe? Or maybe… I'm just making a theory… maybe it was US? After all, we kinda DID cause the whole Planet of the Apes thing and let's not forget that our little nuclear experiments made the Big G aka Godzilla and I think it was a major, MAJOR load of bananas and some other stuff that created everyone's favorite girl-grabbing, plane-smashing monkey King Kong. So yeah, mankind basically created their own monsters. Man created Frankenstein. Man made The Wolfman. Oh yes and Man definitely positively DID create Doomsday
All I'm saying is we live in a frickin' comic book universe. We can make ANYTHING! Like, um, say for instance if the bigwigs at DC Comics said they wanted to add Sara Lance and Cisco to the comics? Boom, there you go! Have, um, have Felicity Smoak added too? Bam! What else? Ooh, how about we add the whole Neo-Gotham storyline, make Bruce a crotchety old man and have Terry be the new Batman? Bam! Oh wait, those guys at the CW did that and maybe, I'm just saying, if Warner Bros. Studios wasn't so stingy with their money, we could've gotten a live action Batman Beyond! Instead, those hotshot whizkids at Marvel Studios gave us Ant-Man which is Batman Beyond only in a way Marvel Comics could tell it. Ooh and there's only two more weeks until the biggest gladiatorial fight in the history of the world: Last Son of Krypton versus Dark Knight of Gotham, or would you prefer Sexy Hot British Dude from Man from UNCLE versus Guy who Played Daredevil? I think Jesse Eisenberg's the perfect choice for good ol' Lexy Luthor. I still wish we could have a Caucasian Mercy Graves, but you know, we're just characters, they run the show, not us. And I gotta split. It's time for lunch, we're having lasagna
