Guest Lecture: I Have No Danger Room and Yet I Must Scream w/Escape the Mojoverse

Mutant Studies 101 by Dean Coburn

Episode notes

Become the Ghost in the Machine with us today, students! For this week's lecture, your professors are talking the origins of one of the most bizarre and punchy characters in modern X-Men, the living Danger Room known as Danger! And joining them for this discussion is none other than the great Matt and Alison Parent of Escape the Mojoverse!

Topics of this lecture include: The deep-seeded dangers of AI, what made Danger a fascinating creation of Joss Whedon in the first place, her relation to the classic Harlan Ellison short story "I Have No Mouth and Yet I Must Scream", a VERY fun Is It A Dazzler Song, and if we believe the sins of the father can truly be redeemed.

Content Warning: This episode deals heavily with both an in-story and very real suicide at the hands of an AI.
