Adult Swim's new Superman show is really good, and demonstrates (in the first couple minutes) a better understanding of Superman than any non-comics Superman media of the last 2 decades, by recognizing two small but essential features of Clark Kent's characterizarion:
A) He has to discover his powers via an act of altruism (specifically saving a life) and
B) He ALWAYS saves the cat stuck in a tree

Alright, I finally watched Pacific Rim last night and yeah, okay, I get it now. From what I've read, the second movie is not as good but the prospect of a Charlie Day corruption/possession arc is just too tasty for me to ignore, so I'll have to load that one up soon.
Tangentially related, but I CANNOT unsee Luigi in everything this man does. He was truly born to be a green plumber from Brooklyn.

It drives me a little bit crazy when people insist that Mikasa is obsessed with Eren or unreasonably attached (unhealthily is another question)
a) Eren is the only family she has left and she is terrified of losing him the way she lost everyone else, it's only natural for her to be very protective of him. He is the last piece of the home that was stolen from her as a child TWICE.
b) Eren first appeared to Mikasa as a hero, saving her from being trafficked and giving her the strength to fight for herself and others. Of course she's going to see him in a very good light (until she realizes the horror of his actions in s4 & readjusts her view)
c) Mikasa is quite protective of her other teammates too, especially her other best friend Armin. Remember when she almost killed Levi for him? When she comforted Armin (to the best of her abilities) after he was kidnapped? Intense care for her loved ones, and others as she grows as a person, is just one of her main character traits.
d) I've seen people be angry at Mikasa for not defending Armin during the table scene, but excuse her for being shocked that the person that she's been desperately trying to protect for almost half her life apparently hates her, and that her other best friend, who's known for avoiding fighting, threw the first punch on her behalf.
Of course she doesn't want them to fight
Of course she's going to watch in disbelief, in horror, needing to see just how gone Eren is
Of course she still won't want to kill him at first, won't want to sever her last family tie by her own hand
But she does
Because she isn't obsessed and she isn't selfish
And she still keeps his scarf by her own will (and in defiance of Eren's), in memory of her closest friend and last family
Because she's not a slave to anyone's will
And acting despite all the love she has for Eren, refusing to allow her love to keep her bound - that is what frees Ymir
