    but Otto isn't a chef, so is making that sort of error actually canonically correct?

    Duck with remoulade, not remoulade made from duck, is how I took it. But also doc ock isn't a chef, so maybe it's okay.

    No he's not, but they are clearly writing him as being mr refined planning a fancy dinner...and you wouldn't call duck with remoulade just "duck remoulade." That's generally not how it works.





    ...snarkiness and professional nitpicking aside, this event totally had me laughing out loud with almost every mission. Even if it made up a dish that sounds kind of gross and totally doesn't exist.

    Could you flavour a remoulade with duck if you ground it up finely enough (the duck, that is)?

    Although, I can't imagine eating just a remoulade for dinner.

    Should have said Duck à la Remoulade for maximum faux-chef effect. Still, hilarious.

    Also... Daken doesn't have adamantium claws...



    But yes, agreed the writing was great and definitely entertaining.

    Next step is to write an event that skewers themselves, and has the heroes belittling the DAs for showing up over and over and over, and/or the DAs in an existential crisis, trying to figure out new careers or hobbies or something.

    Wasn't there a "You again?" dialogue bubble in Webbed Wonder? I forget who that was directed at, though.

    I think Howard says it to the hammer agents in the last sub.

    I'm pretty sure I spent more time laughing at the whole "lamest version of the sinister six ever" exchange in the last sub than I did in the actual mission.

    He's got to up his cooking game if he's going to impress Aunt May!
