Added 2022-11-04 15:05:01 +0000 UTCA trope talk about those unfortunate souls we KNOW are screwed from the outset - and an exploration of why we care if we know they're already dead!

Love it, especially citing how the best of doomed heroes work to bring hope to everyone else. But I keep imagining Red as that elderly oracle smirkily saying "You're screwed." ;)
