A juggernaut is a literal or metaphorical force that is
regarded as merciless, destructive, and unstoppable. It’s a great word. I need to use it in my next novel.
In the world of fiction, every juggernaut must have a
weakness – a kill switch if you will, otherwise the hero has no hope of ever
succeeding. Whether you’re talking about
Marvel, DC, or your favorite vampire novel, no one is truly unstoppable. The truly unstoppable villain (or hero, for
that matter) is boring. Think about the
television series Once Upon a Time. The
evil witch won the battle so many times in the first season that she seemed
unstoppable. The show became boring
(because, honestly, don’t we want the hero to win at least once) and I stopped
watching.
Granted, the show went on for seven seasons. But I promise you, the evil witch didn’t win
every time. (And the ratings sank every
year.)
This wine is a very good Russian River Valley Pinot
Noir. It does have a weakness,
however. Make sure you give it a little
time to get some air before you drink it.
Straight out of the bottle, it’s tight and strong. It needs the air to open up. Once open, you’ll get good dark fruit flavors
with an overlay of smokiness. It’s
complex and goes well with grilled meats.
