She observes and takes delight in the classic action movie concept of the one-liner (The joy-joy way you paused to make a glib witticism before doing battle...!) and also points out the archetypal characters that the hero can be (I fleshed you out as a blow-up-the-bad- guy-while-grinning type...but youre actually the moody-gunslinger-who-will-only-draw-when-he-must type.)
