Episode notes
Superhero Work As Corporate Comedy
- The one-shot frames a superhero workplace as mundane corporate life with high stakes and absurdity.
- That contrast lets characters solve problems with office-skill creativity rather than pure combat.
Marty's Powder-Blue Stanza Pride
- Marty drives the powder-blue stanza and prides himself on custodial skills and an immaculate interior.
- The players use small character details (pink wheel cover, chibi faces) to create humor and stakes during the commute.
Appearances Are Strategic Resources
- The branch's survival depends on presenting metrics and appearances to higher-ups.
- That creates a playbook where PR, staging, and narrative management become superhero tools.
