Conservatives love to talk about people being anti-American but I can't think of anything more anti-American than supporting a wannabe king

Yeah, I agree.

The Joker definitely had "one bad day" but like you said, he is like Manson. He gets labelled crazy more 'cause of surface level stuff like how he dresses or acts or the fact he kills in goofy ass ways.

It's ironic 'cause he is the poster boy for crazy Arkham villains but is sane.

Yeah, some just treat Arkham as prison for weird people, that's it.

Plus he always talks about how he is crazy and anyone can be as crazy as him with one bad day. But actual crazy people don't know they're crazy.

Basically the dude in the vid confirms what people have been saying about how Joker is too self-aware, lol

Yeah, he says what I suspected all along. He calls him a psychopath and says he shows signs of antisocial personality disorder, but doesn't show evidence of psychosis or of compulsion or delusion or anything like that. And he clearly knows what he's doing is wrong since he plans not getting caught.

I meant those are the 4 villains he said belong in Blackgate and not Arkham

I’m more optimistic than most about Ultimate Spider-Man’s future.

However, I’d like to present this journey in 4 Parts. I can only laugh.

Lol I'm sure! It's got a distinct worn out old people smell you only get from Democrats!

Hmm what's that smell?

Oh it's just Cuomo's burnt ass after that debate. Wow I can smell it from Toronto!

And since Spectacular stole that idea and even showed how it's done, that means a kids show taught Noam Chomsky's message to the masses 🤤🤤🤤 and with Spider-Man (major American icon)

Makes my inner Chomsky-and-Spidey simp heart all fuzzy 😁😁

Subatomic Viewer... But Spooky! 🎃👻🕷 @subatomicviewer.bsky.social · 1d

Spider-Man being connected to them was forced but I figured that was cuz of the Sony deal.

Now they're doing all these characters that shouldn't be tied together, and that makes it feel more forced and the world smaller.

I still don't think that was a problem in Infinity Saga since they were only doing movies about Avengers.

Cap, Tony, Thor, Hulk, Ant-Man/Wasp, T'Challa & Carol all intersect. So it's fine.

Doctor Strange & GOTG were temporarily tied to them via Thanos. So that felt natural to me.

It's way more obvious with Marvel Knights.

The whole idea that superheroes need to be distracted with supervillains or else they go after real problems and "start running the federal reserve" like Norman said (aka redistribute wealth) is straight out of Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent.

It's been said ad nauseum but it's one of the best CBM castings, period.

And while Infinity Saga wasn't always perfect, somehow they always managed to give him a character arc that feels like a natural continuation for him. In every movie he was in from 2008-19.

Part of why Endgame paid off IMO.

Hawkeye is the worst example though.

I think in 2012 they modelled him after Ultimate Hawkeye to play it safe, and then Whedon doubled down cuz he liked that Hawkeye. But I suspect in hindsight they regret it.

If they could go back, they would do something way more like 616 Hawkeye from ground up.

MCU Iron Man is by far the best example of an Ultimate counterpart redone right.

He's still a playboy and kinda an asshole but it's humanized. And updating Vietnam to the War on Terror makes way more sense than the "my body is all brain" thing from Ultimate.

Yeah, that was the smart part. They start out as a government program but then go their own way.

The Ultimate universe did that too, but way too late. And by then it didn't matter. Plus the Ultimate Avengers are all assholes, so splitting them from the government doesn't have that same impact.
