8.1 - "A High School Cafeteria Scene"

Jenny and Ted discuss Extermination 8.1.

Episode Notes:

• Jenny's dying of suspense
• A parahuman response, but no military?
• We're meeting some pretty intense capes. Amazing that they're not gonna be enough
• This is gonna be bad...but fast, apparently
• We get why the heroes are here. Unclear about the villains
• Also unclear why the Endbringer is here, actually
• Jenny has sea monster theories
• Taylor's such a fangirl
• But sadly she's part of a one-person fan club right now
• This chapter is basically the lunchroom scene in Mean Girls
• Let's get Taylor back in with the Undersiders soon, mmkay?
• Some very teenage cynicism
• Taylor finding herself a bit of an unfortunate celebrity
• How are all these villains and heroes going to organize themselves?
• Some people's motives for being in this fight may be less than pure
• Death predictions
• We do a brief survey of the capes
• There's an awkward child soldier angle here
