“Villains are too complex these days! Damn wokes!”

You’re a Disney adult. Go back to watching Disney movies and other Amerislop. The MCU is more your speed. Better yet, don’t. You’ll see the obviously evil villains and then start emulating them because “villains are cooler”.

Even Disney slop can be too complicated for these dorks - remember the backlash about Star Wars sequel Luke?

Far be it from me agreeing with a Twitter fash poster, but i do miss villains who might have had a good point, but who also were really enjoying being villains. There's fun in watching a joyful villain, and it's even more fun to watch them fall, too.

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Same. Especially since "complicated" villains is usually just an excuse to do the swerve.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

And even when it's not the swerve, it's something like making some incoherent and aimlessly aggrieved victim who's just lashing out because of how they'd been victimized. Like not even doing some cycle of abuse commentary thing, just a character aimlessly out for revenge and it's bad because victims shouldn't stand up for themselves or seek any sort of redress because that's a villain thing, they should just be special good boys and redeem enough good boy points for a bandaid for their arterial wounds instead.

When real villains are the ones with power, who want more power or who want to cling to what power they have or who are just abusive predatory scumbags. They're not victims getting back at society, they're bullies trying to assert dominance or get their kicks by hurting others.

I'm sure there are plenty Maltusian MCU fans that fuck with Thanos.

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I mean, I don't like Thanos methods. I would have to assume it works. He doubbled housing stock halved greenhouse gasses emotions. Probbaly killed a few billionairs. He did a retroactive one child policy. He could have just made it a one child policy going forward and it would have been fine.

[–] Saeculum@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

He could have just doubled the available resources for everyone, instead of killing half of all the people

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

He is a liberal. As the rules of liberalism dictate things cannot be improved. So as a liberal subject he could not have.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

The irony is that the MCU tried to make Thanos more sympathetic and "accomplished" that by rewriting him to be an eco-fascist.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Then 180 him immediately to "everyone must die, I'm evil"

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The fucked up thing is that it's not even a 180, he's committing super-genocide but for "sympathetic" (ecofascist) reasons.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I meant 180 into back to his usual shtick of being Marvel Darkseid
