>> (The storm wasn't supposed to be that powerful, they were supposed to be one the other side of the shielding.) <<
Yeah, that was a problem.
>> While they aren't part of MCU, this Reed is much closer in age to Tony than the path often taken. <<
I like the parallel this way.
>> Reed is very much part of 'Ask'. It does take Sue a bit to see some things aren't fair (he does need to keep an eye on the anomaly). <<
Yes. Sue keeps trying to get him into Hint and he just ... doesn't stretch that way. Victor, of course, is the fucking creepy side of Hint, using his people-reading skills for nefarious purposes. Yet he also managed to make Sue happy for a while, so there's something to him.
>> Well, I'm fond of Jack O'Neill and Jim Ellison as mama bear. <<
Heh.
>> Johnny I think does need some 'nagging' (impulse control, he's not got much and an external voice of reason...) <<
What he needs is someone to teach him how to regulate his own emotions and impulses, and why that's important. Like the fact that a fire elemental's emotions always connect to the flame, so lack of control is Big Deal.
