“I’ve gotten tired of people calling Christopher Reeve a hero. A really terrible thing happened to him and our society can’t deal with it when terrible things happened so we try to make out that it isn’t a terrible thing – ‘It’s an uplifting thing. He’s a hero.’ He’s not a hero, he’s in hell.”
Three guesses who said that, and the first two don’t count! It’s part of Newsarama’s coverage of a Q&A at the Mid-Ohio Con, and it’s followed up with the explanation that Byrne wasn’t criticizing Reeve. He was just defending the English language from misuse.
Wait until The V hears about this.
