Mind if I, uh... ride with you for a while?

Hats off to Jon McDonald who wrote/directed this movie. I love the story between Ruckus and Vista so much. Here’s this man: brilliant and awkward, corralled by a PR team that he trusts to give him advice in the social situations that he clearly doesn’t understand when it comes to the two children that he cared enough about to legally adopt after his invention turned them into superheroes.

And you have Vista: young and scarred and likely abandoned by someone before Ruckus ever found her. She doesn’t know how to connect with the man that is supposed to be her new father and he doesn’t know how to connect with his new daughter. I can’t help but imagine she was trying to preemptively protect herself every time she ran away... she’d leave before he did.

But she never saw the way he was when the cameras were off and the PR team wasn’t there to whisper in his ear. She never saw the quirky smile as he wakes up to realize that his little girl fell asleep there or just how sweet and innocent she is. She never saw the way the held her close and protected her in the only way he knew how, giving her a gift to bring her home in the same way his own parent had tried to provide him with the same. In those quiet moments when no one was looking, that’s who he was. She just never knew that in her own childhood.

This story is incredible. Three cheers for everyone involved in bringing it to life.
