:DDDDDDDDDDDDD Oh, this makes my heart sing, anon - thank you! I LOVE BRUCE AND MARTHA SO MUCH, and the thought that I managed to really capture what's great about that relationship is a REALLY GREAT THOUGHT. \o/
because I'm sure Bruce thinks he's the epitome of practically and no-nonsense behavior. Only to have Martha just kind of quietly shaking her head, fond, and disbelieving, at Bruce's incredible depth of self-deceiving faffery
I'm sure I have no idea what you mean! BRUCE IS EXTREMELY CLEAR-HEADED, AND NOT AT ALL MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON HIS OWN BURIED GUILT AND REPRESSED EMOTION. :D Honestly one of the things I love best about Martha is that I think of her as having, yes, exactly that reaction, much like Clark - and, UNlike Clark, having the insight to understand what Bruce is doing relatively quickly. (To be fair to Clark, of course, she HAS known Bruce much longer, having not been dead for a while at any point.)
/o\ Oh, anon, there are times when I'm just so bowled over that anyone wants to read any of this ONCE, let alone several times! :DDDDDDDDDDD THANK YOU.
It really is kind of an unusual scenario - the movie just makes it SO HARD to explain how Bruce could possibly be at Clark Kent's funeral without Martha knowing who he is. And yes, as you say, it also maybe makes it a little more difficult for Bruce to keep track of who he's ... being at any given moment. OH, BRUCE
:D Aw, thank you, anon - I hope that in the end your excitement pays off! ♥
