LADY BLACKHAWK: I'M FROM 1940, NOT THROWBACK, ALABAMA.
If you jumped fifty years in the future and said, "Gets back! I has a fierce!", people would deduct thirty points from your IQ as well. Every time I see some writer using Zinda being from the 40's to make some culture shock joke, it grates of my nerves. Zinda's either still a teenager or still in her early twenties, and a world traveler to boot, jumping ahead forty years would knock her off-balance for a few months, but given that she's been in the present for a year or two, she'd be as acclimated as any expatriate working abroad would be after a year.
Yet it seems like every writer (to the joy of fans everywhere) has to make little subtle jokes about how she's from the 1940's, though I can't think of a single time when they've shown Zinda acclimating. I want to see the missing scene where Zinda discovers that she can buy an airplane off the Internet.
It just bugs me. |
