i do think we could get something interesting out of making people who like worm read strong female protagonist. worm is 100% better i think and much of my read of sfp is just me critically picking it to shreds but alison greene is like. you know how taylor realizes she can use the Power Of Incredible Violence to literally just force people to do what she wants. alison greene is like if a superhero figured that one out and then had a sort of incredibly stupid moral crisis over the ethical implications of it. i like dissecting her about half as much as i like dissecting taylor. i think becoming a communist could fix alison greene. also crucially it has a dyke with cool powers in it. also crucially it has a guy whose powers fundamentally alter his relationship to personhood in it. i need to reread sfp and drag ollie along with me is what i need to do.
#this is not necessarily a sfp Endorsement per se. there are many things about it i like#but i would argue the appeal of watching a bunch of capes argue about morality in nuanced ways drops a bit#when you realize that most of them would be fixed by just like#Becoming communists or learning about restorative justice or figuring out it's ok to punch nazis. or whatever#but#like#if you like picking Narratives and such apart. dissecting what's going on w/ each character is pretty fun!#and also there's capeshit. some of the capeshit is interesting. i do like some of the capeshit.#and also there's patrick in it. i like patrick.#patrick isn't alec-adjacent but he is alec-diagonal
