And just got back from _The Last Jedi._ OMG, such a Masks game in so many ways, esp. every time Kylo or Rey was on screen. Seriously advise seeing it, and worthwhile seeing it in the theater.

Agreed. Won’t spoil anything, but there are definitely relevant information to talk about in that movie as far as this game goes.

I think of this (well, the first chapter, not the rest) as: “A fic about Bruce Wayne that in my head could just as easily have been Leo about six months before he made Pneuma.” https://archiveofourown.org/works/8524186/chapters/19539673

While it is difficult to catch lightning in a bottle twice, I’ve started reading (and quickly caught up on) the new run of Runaways, which is just darned excellent. While the original run’s of existential dread and rejection and loss and paranoia is toned down, the current challenges of “getting the band back together” after time has passed, dealing with death and life and aging and time displacement and beheading and cats with glowing eyes, and just trying to find belonging is very neatly executed.
Also, a shout-out to my alma mater in issue #3, which was completely unexpected.

Leo was that kind of focused powder keg at one point, but without anything like that level of self-control or skill. He was actually a little calmer as a bully, since his outlet for violence was always available. These days, he has to control himself more, so when it comes out, it’s gonna come out hard. There’s a reason I describe his robot friends not only as his power-up in battle, but also his restraint.

Apparently there is a different Japanese theme song for _Jonny Quest, _which appears to be titled Kagaku Shounen J.Q. (Science Boy JQ) (different, that is, from the classic Hoyt Curtain tune).

](http://www.classicjq.com/media/music/Japanese_Theme_vocals.mp3)The picture to the right is from a Japanese “sonosheet” (a 45 rpm flimsy record and comic book) of the episode “The Robot Spy” (the classic giant spider robot ep). The sonosheet sound track had a different artist for the theme music than in the YouTube video above, and an instrumental end theme.
“JQ! JQ! JQ! JQ!”

Menagerie Tropes - I did it as Markdown, which turns out to be a total pain in the butt to convert to the wiki format, so I just put it on my blog because I’m super lazy.

Total time taken: about 8 minutes, most of that filling in the header text and making sure the links work.

Some of these entries are probably not the trope that was originally picked, or could use some expansion. I can work on this tonight.

Oops. I probably broke some links.
I just thought we were going to put it on our own Wiki. It’s really need to see it on TV tropes.

A conversion to our wiki would take about 3 minutes. I can do that soon if we’d prefer to have it there for shared editing.

http://wiki.menagerie.team/Tropes for the version of that page on our own wiki, as an experiment/demonstration. If people are serious about adding to the tropes list, please pick a place for them to live.
Methodology:
Seriously, if anyone is trying to move structured text between wiki, markdown, HTML, PDF, or many other formats, go get yourself pandoc.
