beccaelizabethThis morning's dream was simples yet disconcerting: I dreamt I tried to sing A Kind of Magic, the album, but had forgotten the words. Which seems likely after the general passage of time, but, time passing goes quicker than you think, so. Dosconcerting.
Also in the dream Highlander got acquired by one of the major comic companies and integrated with their comics code approved lines, so there was a bloke in a trenchcoat who might look like Connor if you squint, and he had a katana, but as far as you could tell it only hit scenery, statues, and other swords. Nobody actually got hurt, because he's a Hero in a Comic and Heroes Don't Decapitate.
... the problem is that, even awake, I find this all too plausible. Just ignore the series and all attempts at moral quandry, and just throw a dude with a catchphrase at a number of fights. That's ... a bit too comics.
People would probably complain that he's Wolverine with fewer blades or Deadpool without the ... everything else.
Also is trenchcoat still the magic user uniform of choice? They'd complain his kind of magic wasn't whooshy boom enough. Just a bit of lightning and some water breathing.
... I was reading on tumblr about the DCification of John Constantine and apparently my dream brain reeeeeally thinks they have a point. *sigh*
