The year is 1991, a villain robs your record store and on a whim you call a new hero helpline. It takes them over an hour to arrive, during which the villain waits around patiently because its a fun novel experience and it's new to everyone involved. The hero and villain almost appear to be play-fighting, and afterwards the villain immediately escapes their police holding cell because neither containment foam nor the PRT exists yet. Everyone tips you afterwards.

The year is 2002, a villain robs the restaurant you manage, and you call the local hero team, who arrive within 20 minutes. There's a brief, professional fight with a back and forth that almost seems like a therapy session, before the villain is captured. Because of circumstantial political tides they're immediately sent to the birdcage, despite it being a first offence.

The year is 2012, villains rob the grocery store that you work at, and you wearily call the PRT, the heroes arriving 50 minutes later because most of them have been killed in endbringer fights. The fight is bloody and quick, with all banter from either side taking the form of growled threats. Upon being brought back to the phq all of the villains are immediately offered plea deals to become probationary heroes.

The year is 2015, villains rob your community's new grain silo. No-one calls the heroes, but they decide to come anyway, taking over 2 hours (they live 10 miles and two portals away), to eventually catch up on a highway where 30 civilians die in the ensuing fight. After this the villains are captured and subsequently exiled to a blacksite prison world where one of them almost immediately dies of exposure and the other later becomes a titan. You don't get your grain back.

I was catching up with a friend and told him about Worm, and he said "oh, some of my friends had to read that for a class they took"

???

I tried to clarify. "There are two webcomics called worm, are you sure it wasn't one of those?" And he said "yeah, it has superheroes right? My roommate hated it, she read it out loud to me, I remember the main character being on public transit?" I asked if she was in a sundress and he said yes.

So to be clear. There is a professor in Florida who is making their students read *the entirety* of worm for a freshman media studies class.

I convinced both of my parents to read Worm, due to living in the same apartment as them and having a hyperfixation. And both of them really enjoyed it but they're very different people, so I get to see two entirely different perspectives from talking to them.

The average conversation with my mom (someone who graduated college with a degree in womens studies and literature) about Worm is like: "The slaughterhouse nine fundamentally sells the fantasy to its recruits of being inhuman; the idea that they are monsters and even if they have physical vulnerabilities, by becoming heartless they remove their ability to be emotionally wounded. This is how Taylor first sees them; completely inhuman threats. But that's fundamentally not what they are, they're broken damaged people left behind by society and abused by Jack Slash. The reason why Jack considers Siberian and Bonesaw to be the purest members of the team is because they're the best as being inhuman, Siberian being a projection of someone else, and Bonesaw being a child that Jack is entirely able to shape without resistance (which is why she ultimately betrays him as she ages)."

Average conversation with my dad (a guy who liked The Boys and One Peice) about worm: "Alexandria could beat Omniman in a fight."
