I didn't notice, but I would also enjoy JK Simmons narrating the phone book, so...

I only noticed when Nolan used basically every thesaurus defintion of "surrounded" in one sentence xD

I thought you do that to emphasize the gravity of your situation. As an example, if the hero gets trapped by a villain, the hero might say, “I’m trapped, ensnared, and royally f*cked.”Or maybe it means you grew up with WordGirl.

I don’t think WordGirl would ever say “royally fucked”, unless PBS has really changed these days.

Yeah I know but I thought it would be funny imagining Lady Redundant Woman saying it. But in real life it would go, “trapped, ensnared, and well I like to say the last verb but this is a kid’s show.”

Now that I think about it, Word Girl could probably kick the shit out of everyone in the Invincible Universe.
