Oh yeah. I was getting flashbacks to just about everything Batman related. And I was making the jokes. And I have Ben-muse glaring a hole in the back of my head for suggesting that they make sure there's no Cadmus nanotech chips stuck on his mom that'll cause a major problem down the road.
I've seen people complaining about Kevin and his willingness to kill in this episode and "Vendetta," saying that it's too late to throw in the references to him being a bad boy. But honestly? This hit home for him. He pretty much just went through this shit with his own mother. And looking at it from an outside perspective, there's nothing Ragnarok can gain from targeting Devin Levin's family--the man is dead already!
Kevin's always been more pragmatic than the cousins, and he also is very protective of them. It's obvious how protective he is of Gwen, but less so how protective he is of Ben. I've said it before--these two were destined to be best friends. They just ended up on the wrong sides, simply because they were both too stubborn to see things the other guy's way (they could have been the greatest hero team or the greatest villain team, depending on whose ideals were stronger). They've stood by each other and they've hurt each other more personally than anyone else ever could have. But they always recover and watch each other's backs. I'd have to say that Ben's the only family that really matters to Kevin (with Gwen in a category separate from "family").
I love Ben's parents. Especially his mom--she's so...spacey, it's awesome. I really think they might be the descendants of the hippies from Avatar.
Yeah, Ben seems to have a love-hate relationship with his fame. He started off hating it, mostly because he only got hate. Of course, Jimmy got to him about the "attention" thing (I swear, I'm not starting a thesis on what it means to him, given his childhood and all), so he's trying to enjoy the positive aspects... I don't know. All I know is that the Power Rangers never had it this hard. They could go to a press conference, and the worst they'd have to worry about was a kid calling the suits "spandex."
Okay, and Dillon being a smug but loveable asshole in front of the kids.
Switching to the icon I was tempted to use
