when i started watching football, zulte waregem were playing real pretty - v good attacking football. as it turned out, they did quite well too, coming in second by a single point (gently caress anderlecht, gently caress nzolo, gently caress standard). but i only really started to love them when the drama started. transfer drama, drama with the ceo, ridiculously bad games, crazy games, etc. i like me some ups and downs. i don't like my teams to be efficient machines that trample their opposition or buy their way to victory. if my team does well, i want it to be surprising and unexpected.

i also like inexplicably bad teams like aston villa and everton (last year) in england.

their logo is terrible

The sport known as football outside the US, soccer inside of it. You just need a ball and arbitrary goalposts.

i mean ideologically correct sport, not exploitative blood sport involving the capitalist classes grinding up poor people into entertainment and discarding their useless bodies afterwards

jms, the other creator behind sense8, wrote one of the absolute worst superman stories of all time

he took a character that has always been a champion of the common man (Action Comics #1 opens with superman pimp slapping the governor to get an innocent man on death row pardoned, and he spent the 30s kicking the poo poo out of corrupt politicians and union bosses) and decided that he was just going to be the biggest republican dickweed to everyone

at one point he meets other literal aliens and gives them this big lecture about how to be One Of The Good Ones, like him

the reaction to the run was so bad he abandoned it midway through

I partied too hard the other day then today had a doctors appointment on no sleep, feeling like poo poo, ughhh. After a nap I feel a little better, but still strung out. Recuperating with coffee and maybe a sweet potato later.

superman was never a champion of the common man originally. he was the superego representation of urban American Jews.

Which turned out to be close to republican dickweed through the advent of Israel and Zionism.

other than the parts where he was beating the poo poo out of corrupt politicians and poo poo

and now he's literally going to beat the poo poo out of corrupt riot cops despite having like, next to zero powers and having to use what's left of his cape as brass knucks

and his characterization for basically forever has been that he ust wants to help people be the best they can be

superman is basically the best superhero because he is the only one that isn't motivated by guilt or superheroics as a job or whatever. he's not sad about krypton exploding or anything. he was just taught "hey you should be good and help people" and he does that.
