It gets better. They have matching Adventure Time tattoos. His name is not Finn but that's what he goes by. And after CPS deemed them permanently unfit as parents and put their child into a foster home they shrugged and had another kid. And they named her something along the lines of Lyndsey Stephanie Paula.

Yes, they named their new child LSP after Lumpy Space Princess.

I wish I was making this up.

I think people who are criminally negligent to their children are disqualified from terrible child names contests. Like, if Jared Fogle had a kid named Avocado or whatever, would that really change your opinion of him?

They're regular customers (well, they were) and he was a very chatty dude. Some people just share too much. My mother works with an CPS/APS agency and she was telling me about this poor baby with a stupid name and I was like "ZOMG WAS IT LADY RAINICORN???" So through just knowing a few other people I was able to piece the whole story together.

No, I get that (based on the image I'm assuming it has something to do with eating the right combination of "colorful" foods), I just mean that, devoid of context, if you heard a guy on the street shouting that he had the "color cure" for sale, would your first assumption be "he's slinging pseudoscience" or "gently caress, more white supremecists?"

Taskmaster would probably work better as a TV/streaming series, really. You could explore the supervillain side of the MCU, bring in a few more known villains at that power level, stuff like that.

Make it a heist show where him and a few other villains are robbing an even bigger bad guy. Each episode is them stealing a piece of a whole for the finale. Round up a few villains you'd NEVER see on TV, just get loving weird with it because A: the more weird and out of place your characters look the more fun you can have with it (and let's face it, costumes just look stupid might as well just lean into it) and B: these guys just CAN'T fit into the "OMG so serious" MCU. In fact being larger than life may be what got them caught and blackmailed/bribed into being in this situation to begin with and C: no one will complain if you rewrite their backstory. Guys like Kraven the Hunter in his original lion face costume just being loud and foreign and boastful and dumb.
Doctor Demonicus dying genius that creates monsters.
Paste Pot Pete because bitter characters are funny and he can be the "will he or won't he betray them" character
Zaran. Characters like that, street level idiots who play well off each other using their unique talents to steal stuff from good and bad guys with the ultimate goal to help. Just make it intentionally loud and dumb and make them "hard luck heroes" who finally prevail despite all the slip ups with Taskmaster their long suffering leader trying to herd these cats.
