    1. Nurse novels (and their offshoot, Nurse comic books) were a big genre once. Let's imagine a world where they came to dominate entertainment the way the superhero genre has.pic.twitter.com/f9mdeo7vfr

        2. In Earth-Nurse-Genre, all he big Hollywood movies are nurse movies. All the nurse novels get adapted for film or Netflix or HBO. To make an art movie you have to do dark, grim nurse movies.

        3. In the world where nurse stories are the dominant genre, fans of other genres (say super-heroes) will be grousing that their preferred entertainment is being crowded out by the plethora of nurse movies. And they'd be right.

        I mean, they work harder and help more people than your average superhero.

        Hey, those superheroes are providing jobs for those nurses. Collateral damage and whatnot.

        Let’s invent a new genre: the gothic nurse novel.

        In a sense, all gothic were Nurse Novels

        This is just a backhanded way of arguing for Rosario Dawson to get her own ‘Night Nurse’ series Our fixation on superheroes could be worse, it. It could be pirates.
