The Boys is about non-superhero characters in a superhero universe, pretty much matches your post question. The core group of people (“The Boys”) start out as regular people living in a world being trashed by people with superpowers.

As the series progresses it does veer off from that but maybe the first season is closer to what you’re looking for.

But if that’s the case, why did the wand kill Harry the first time in the woods? Why didn’t it just fly out, spin around, and hit Voldemort then?

At that specific point Harry Potter was still the second to last existing horcrux (leaving Nagini as the last one) so you could say the Elder Wand was actually aiming for the piece of Voldemort horcrux.

During the final duel Harry Potter is no longer a Voldemort horcrux, he’s just himself at that point.

At least that’s my take on how that worked out but it’s been a bit since I’ve read the books, maybe there’s a detail I’m forgetting.

Not a doctor and you may want a doctor’s opinion on this stuff…

But I’ll mention what you’re describing is very much brain fog like symptoms. It’s more well known as a long covid symptom nowadays however it did always appear as a symptom of other infections. I have an older family member that went through an intense encephalitis infection (for him it started out with a viral mosquito infection, west nile virus to be specific) and since encephalitis affects the brain he eventually recovered with brain fog symptoms among other things.

Thing is that healthier/younger people can be infected with viruses leading to encephalitis and be asymptomatic (no symptoms) during that time, but down the road long term symptoms can show up like brain fog. Yes, like long covid, but other infections can lead to the same result is what I’m getting at. Getting some blood work done with a doctor would narrow down or rule out stuff like this.

Once worked with a guy who refused to wash dishes, said that is a woman’s responsibility. He only uses paper plates and plastic utensils.

I never asked him if he cooked but kind of figure it’d the be same answer LOL.

I suspect most people (including me) are probably lurkers/upvoters. The lurkers will have more to say when the new season is live :)

Also, where does that subscriber count come from? I looked at this community via 3 different Lemmy instances & saw different numbers on each of them… maybe that number is just specific to the amount of local instance members subscribed to that community. Here at lemmy.zip we’re at 18 subscribers for !futurama@lemmy.world
