Angel vs. Man: Jango/Obi-Wan
"Angel vs. Man: Jango/Obi-Wan"
Their first encounter. Cramped. Polite. A Personal Jesus. A meek Christ. And the Angel has higher frequency. Must control himself, or be a rage machine. Stay off the roids, kids. Too, the Angel can read the man, if trained. Realize it's the man's trepidation that makes his ownself taste a portion of phobic fright. It goes both ways. But the Man, in close quarters--is a savage. Could head-butt the Angel by dulling his own lesser sensitivity.
It goes on and on and on, yet they had it out. Equally matched. Never can tell, says Jack Burton; indeed, the little old lady can slay a werewolf, for she might be carrying a double-pump full of pernicious pellets behind her desk. We are not equally matched, from the outside nor in; on the contrary, the Man arms himself, wisely, as does the wise Angel. And both can be living weapons.
I got all of this from Attack of the Clones? It was an underappreciated piece of art. Like Kentucky Fried Chicken commercials. Extra-crispy chicken. Need a bucket of the Colonel. Hell boy, in Little Rock during the late 1980's, we had a local hillbilly dubbed THE GENERAL, and he didn't wear any decorative ribbons or a fancy suit. Said: "Screw the Colonel, boy. Come see the General." My ex-wife's Mom knew him. How typical. Sucks to be me, sometimes. You too, sometimes. So, we are men and angels, living together.
