This doesn't sound real. This sounds like a lazy comedy sketch from 10 years ago.

By the way, as someone who hasn't been under a rock recently, kids still play with toys.

That cat is tripping balls.

Point 40: "People have names".

In history, sure, the idea deserves criticism. But in fiction this archetype is called a protagonist and its very different to tell a story without at least one. Is Sherlock Holmes an example of Great Man theory? Most people are not as gifted as he is. What about Robin Hood? I'd argue that these characters share a lot of traits with Batman and Green Arrow respectively, so why is one ok but not the other?

As for the status quo thing, I honestly don't know what to do about that from a storytelling perspective. "Guy who shoots lasers decides to enact social reform" is an odd pitch.

Supervillains consider themselves to be superior to the common masses. Superheroes don't see it that way. They see their power as a tool to help those who weren't as lucky as them. The superpower lottery is a vehicle to tell the story. The moral is about how those powers are used.

Some quick corrections.

  1. That bat was absolutely afraid.

  2. I wasn't asleep when I heard it. I suffer from ADHD brain and am often awake till 2 AM. This is the first time I've heard this sound and we've never seen bats in the house before. I also have a small house with very few hiding spaces I can think of.

It is unlikely that this bat has been in my house before last night, but I will contact a doctor if needed.

How would I go about doing this? I looked up how to get a rabies vaccination in my state (Illinois) and only found information on how to get pets vaccinated, nothing for humans.

I didn't touch them in any way. I was very careful.

Don't bring my favorite song into this.

I think you mean "free range cats". The term " stray" refers to homeless cats/dogs.

Ever see a dog or cat run across the room super fast for no reason? Zoomies.

It's a leopard pattern leotard, but the N64 couldn't do it justice. Curiously, they must have realized it looked off-putting, because Wind Waker portrays them as borderline alien and redesigns them to match.
