#reverse

Jerry reversed the usual formula of the superhero who goes to another planet. He put the superhero in ordinary, familiar surroundings, instead of the other way around, as was done in most science fiction. That was the first time I can recall that it had ever been done. ↗

Meanwhile the fact that the connection with the activity of memory in ordinary life is for the moment lost is of less importance than the reverse, namely, that this connection with the complications and fluctuations of life is necessarily still a too close one. ↗

Only we, the public, can force our representatives to reverse their abdication of the war powers that the Constitution gives exclusively to the Congress. ↗

The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. ↗

I know there are things I did in education that will never be reversed. I have not done that in film yet because I have only been here for about nine months. ↗
