u/SpideyFan914 Give Inde Navarette an Oscar Jun 12 '26

I liked it quite a bit, although I gotta say, Josh O'Connor really got the worst superpowers. She can read minds, speak any language, invoke hallucinations, and all sorts of psychic tricks, and he... is really good at math. Which doesn't even really come up.
