I loved the Krakoan Age so much. Truly the most thrilling X-Men stories of my lifetime.

Reminds me of when Mark Twain was swearing a blue streak so his wife repeated back every word he’d said. Twain responded “You got the words right, but you don’t know the tune.”

There’s always room in Twins Territory! Though it comes with decades of disappointment, you can still hang your hat on Kirby Puckett’s game 6 and Jack Morris’ game 7 in 1991. What a year that was

But did you get the hotdog? That’s the full experience

That's a fair point. I, perhaps, don't see as much daylight between "intellectual" and "intellectually challenging" as you do.

But isn’t that effectively how you described literary fiction as intellectually challenging? I guess it depends then on what is considered to be “high-brow fiction.”

I’m not sure I agree with you on this one. I look at people like R. F. Kuang, or Zadie Smith among others doing what you’re describing. They’re certainly intellectually stimulating & challenging. But it’s true that many of the best contemporary writers utilize elements of other genres in their work
