[QUOTE="The Penitent Man, post: 1527714, member: 21400"] Call me sadistic but I really enjoyed when Switch died. I never liked the character and I found it satisfying how helpless and surprised she acted before that guy pulled her plug. The chick that played her did a pretty good job reading both of her lines throughout the movie. I made it all the way through Loki without realizing it was all about trannyism. I remember hearing some thinly veiled reference to homosexuality in one of the quips but I didn’t realize the entire premise was centered around gender bending until I pulled up Wikipedia to read about some plot point in the show. I thought it was just a show about a a time traveling comic villain, but I guess the writers, and apparently the actors, need to see the gay in everything and put it on display for the rest of us.
