Everybody's got to ride the Love Boat sometime.The question is, how do behave when the ride is done?
Our old pal The Watcher is binge-watching a war on a distant planet:
There's one unique thing about this fight, though...
OK, that is probably not the soundest strategy...bit props to the queen.
But for Uatu...cue the cheesy Star Trek love music:
Now, when you consider how many women the Watcher has watched, you've got to figure she's something special indeed!
But the battle takes a turn for the worse...
So the non-interference vow is put to the test...
...and Uatu fails utterly. "Free to make an appearance wherever I desire"? Totally bullcrap!
Still it impresses the queen!
Yeah, she's got it bad.
So how does the Watcher deal with this?
By being the biggest dickweed possible.
Obviously, those years of non-interference have left the Watchers staggeringly unaware of the "let them down easy" alternatives. Bro, tell her that you already have a mate! Tell her that you're not into women! Tell her that it's you, not her!!
Good gravy, you've been watching Earth! You've been watching Tony Stark and Johnny Storm!! You must know 57 better approaches to this than that "I must be cruel to kind kind" self-justifying dickery!!
Watcher, dude, next time take me along as a wingman. That's what friends are for!!

Yeah, I think you missed your own point there, Snell. He HAS watched Tony Stark and Johnny Storm. And Reed Richards. And Hank Pym. And even Charles Xavier. No one in the Marvel Universe knew how to talk to women, so why should the Watcher?
