Saw a reddit screenshot the other day of someone asking what's Superman's kryptonite lol

blessedly "achilles' heel" won't run into this issue, if the person is at all capable of thinking for a second

So you're saying it will run into this issue.

Reminds me of the recent reaction to the director of the Supermen movie, and the people calling the xenophobia "barbaric".

I mean, it's nice when it falls back at the same meaning, but it reaching its antonym is just great.
