A wish is humanity’s way of avoiding the hard work it takes to make a dream come true; the immediate hit of gratification in problem solving or gaining advantage is there as a get out clause for the thought it takes to embrace the struggle and see the objective from all sides, to take every possible move into consideration.

There was a time when a graphic novel adaption, or a spin off from a much-loved film would be met with the mixture of apathy and delight. Apathy because there was only so much that television could do in terms of making the programme accessible and in keeping with the character’s back story.
