Best Scene of Marvel's Runaways - Thu, Apr 21, 2022
The only bright spot was James Marsters.
I decided to give Marvel’s Runaways on Hulu a try just to have on in the background while I’m doing some other stuff, and it’s interesting so far. Big surprise is James Marsters is one of the stars, which I didn’t know, and while most know him from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I know him as the performer of my favorite audiobooks: The Dresden Files.
Anyway, episode 2, he’s doing an experiment with a rat (I’ll be vague so as not to spoil). The rat doesn’t get hurt and is not at all abused even in the slightest! In fact, the rat is super cute, but Marsters’ character is a platinum card-carrying asshole. When the experiment doesn’t work, the rat runs off and finds a snack under a table. Marsters’ character’s wife comes in and retrieves the rat and holds him and pets him while the ratto is eating a snacko.
Before exiting the lab, Marsters’ character says, “Get rid of that. It’s useless.” And I yelled at the tv, “HE IS NOT! HE’S ADORABLE! FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING DICK!”
Rats make me do crazy things.
