In “Marshall the Martian,” how would you like to learn about what life is like on Mars? For a Martian named Marshall, life turns out to be way harder than he expected it to be. Marshall is not a very popular guy in Martian Ville. He doesn’t have many family members or many friends. And although he owns the Martian Ville Deli, he rarely makes much money because he doesn’t have many customers. It isn’t going to get any better for our friend Marshall. In “Plotting Revenge Is Fun,” Nedara stands on the corner of the block, waiting for that rusty old streetlight to change. It’s been broken for a while now. What kind of streetlight gets stuck on yellow for two minutes? Honestly, the second most hated thing in my life has to be that stupid streetlight.
