Best Super Villain Parents of the Year
We binged Marvel’s Runaways over the holidays. It’s not the best show honestly, but I’m a nerd and things Marvel tend to get watched.
The basic premise of the show is a group of super villains are discovered by their own teenage children, who then run away from home and dedicate themselves to exposing/taking down their parents before they potentially destroy the world.
The characters are all affluent (super villains come from money, obviously) and some are downright tropey, but our absolute favorite evil parenting couple hands down are Stacy and Dale.
They are everything good super villain parents should be - well-meaning, horrifically embarrasing, over protective, and dorky as hell.
If we ever had children and bioengineering degrees we would absolutely send our kids off to school with gluten free homemade protein bars before heading home to feed whole fried chickens to our genetically created dinosaur in the basement.
