I thought it was the writer's way of making a story so incredibly edgy they'd never ask him to write for Batman again, but then everyone actually loved it?

I think that's a fair summation of Alan Moore's entire career. It's just been that scene of Ron Livingston in Office Space scaling a carp on his desk but it's lasted about 40+ years.

"But see, if Batman kills someone, then he becomes as bad as the Joker! Yes, one of them is a mass-murderer and the other tries to help the world, but they're totes both sides of the same coin!!!"

If Batman killed someone, it would be a horrible thing because they would have to come up with another villain to replace the previous one.

You write two good things (both of which were, in all likely hood, accidentally good) and suddenly people think that you're a real writer and will tie themselves in knots to prove that you aren't a talentless hack.

Until the latest issue, it seems, where he kills for real random pro-white skinheads (who are a stand-in for TRUMPF!, somehow) with a fucking flamethrower

Giving that atleast one modern comics (Injection) uses "they were white supremacists" cop out to treat CANNIBALIZING someone as ok, I am not surprised.
 
Zootopia 2 is just ok. Not great, not terrible. Call me contrarian, but I have no idea why there is such a glaze on social medias. Maybe due to the fact it's not 2000s where Disney was on the run releasing banger after banger and now people have lower standards.
- the plot is simple
- humor wasn't really my cup of tea
- Zootopia was promised to the reptiles 3000 years ago
- the snake character surprisingly wasn't annoying, but it's not like he has a lot of screen time in the first place
- the twist villain... I'm just indifferent I guess. Niche reference to The Shining
Zootopia 3 will be about Nick and Judy adopting a baby bird, I'm calling it.

Decided to finally catch up on the bad guys 1 and 2. I know it's a little late to discuss one and the others is still only just new by virtue lf being released this year, they're OK as far as DreamWorks productions go, and given the future of that studio isn't looking too good ok is the best you hope for.


Also give the sequel credit for being the first DreamWorks film since shrek to use the word jackass and in the first 10 mins.


Can't tell if the plot device being literally mcguffinite and they flat out say it's a mcguffin is intentional or not. It makes unobtainium sound almost subtle.

Based. Although really, Shrek (like Pinocchio) truly only got away with it because it's using the natural word we replaced with "donkey", kinda similar to how Ice Age 2 got away with "dayumn" because it was an exaggerated pun. Was that also the case, or did someone call a non-donkey a jackass?

Syndrome specifically mentioned selling his tech to foreign countries in a military context first, with the "everyone will be super" part only coming after he has moved on and retired from the fame and glory that being a superhero brought him, per his own admission.

He's not making everyone super out of some noble idealistic cause of empowering the average man, he's only making everyone "super" to destroy the idea of being super after he himself had gotten bored with it. He doesn't give a shit about other people being super, he just wants "being super" to not mean anything anymore once he's done with it.

"See? Now you respect me, because I'm a threat. That's the way it works. Turns out there are lots of people, whole countries, that want respect, and will pay through the nose to get it. How do you think I got rich? I invented weapons, and now I have a weapon that only I can defeat, and when I unleash it..."

"I'll be a bigger hero than you EVER were. [...] Oh, I'm real. Real enough to defeat you! And I did it without your precious gifts, your oh-so-special powers. I'll give them heroics. I'll give them the most spectacular heroics anyone's ever seen! And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that everyone can be superheroes. Everyone can be super! And when everyone's super... no one will be."

He really is a Redditor at heart, a true mark of villainy

8 mins and 10 seconds in wolf gets called a jackass for driving a beat up car. So no it's not in the way shrek did it, if this wasn't rated PG he would have been called an asshole.
