Well I meant she might have drawn away at the inception of his oddest behavior.

I do believe she genuinely liked him to start with after hearing her speech. I think she was really shook up and wasn’t just acting.

We're members of an elite crime fighting force called, "Super Heroes in Tutus."

We hope to finance our crime fighting activities by clever marketing of merchandise through our website, superheroesintutus.com

We're a super secret organization, so don't tell anyone.

It must be a utilitytutu, carts enough firepower to level an entire city block with one frilly shake.
Or make the block laugh apart.

Not sure what a knife in someone’s head means...

Is this supposed to be funny?

There was a reference to MJ having converted is Islam. The image was a reference to the Shia ritual of using a machete to bloody oneself. It was an attempted jab toward islam itself.
