It's Time to Root for the Henchman!The bank is getting robbed… again. Just another delightful day in Big Little City. As I huddle on the floor, I know I shouldn't complain. After all, the regular villain attacks keep the rent low, and the City Council even subsidizes the local college tuition. It's the only reason I can afford to get my degree. The problem is that the heroes are better at showboating for the cameras than trying to save us hapless civilians. As if to make my point, a hero leaps through the window just above me. When the glass shower is over, I peek between my fingers and get an eyeful of glowing orange boots and a muscled body wrapped in the most highly modified suit that crypto currency can buy. As I pick glass out of my hair, the hero bellows, "Worry not, young lady. Shine is here to save you!" Ugh. Save your cheesy lines for a different damsel!
