Girl one – “Why can’t I just be a little more confident?”
Girl two – “Why can’t I stop seeing my mother’s ghost in my dreams? She just whispers “your fault,” over and over again until I scream myself awake.”
Two equally important problems our main characters can work on!
I am weak and this article made me go grab some Starburst.
I just got an orange and a cherry, though. No pink.
Literally 80% of any show/movie/book about characters who use magic/have superpowers, ESPECIALLY if they’re teenagers, is dominated by detailed exposition regarding why they can’t just use their powers whenever they would be convenient or useful.
If they could simply whip out the mojo at will, it would be impossible to write stories for them that had any drama or tension.
This is why kryptonite had to be invented. It wasn’t in Siegel & Schuster’s original Superman back story…it was invented for the Superman radio play when the writers finally figured out that it’s no fun to write stories about a literally invulnerable character.
