Maybe Cyclops was always bad but we were fooled into seeing otherwise, by a mind trick perhaps.

It's not like you even have to look that hard for official Marvel comics with jokes about characters being mistaken for Batman.


(Mark Waid's Daredevil run, don't know the issue)

and another couple from that run, because they're funny.

In theory that's what we should think. And in nearly any other work of fiction I would say "the villain doesn't get it."

But this was written by Quinten Tarantino. And if there's anybody Edge-lord enough to say that and think that he's saying some universal truth in his film, it's that guy.

I can get why you would think that, but the whole point of Kill Bill, and of everything since that, is that while the whole "spectacular gratuitous murder" thing is fun to watch on screen, and sometimes is directed at the right people, it's terrible, and the people who actually enjoy it, or worse, default to it (what Bill is saying the Bride is, and what she was trying to deny in El Paso, and what she's trying to deny again at the very end) are nightmares, and both the world and them are better off with them killing each other until there are none left.

Kill Bill was a movie with the tagline " Kill is Love" and "a rip roaring rampage of revenge"

If the message on the film wasn't "ultraviolence is cool and solves all the problems" then he missed it himself. And probably every other film he made (I only watched Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained after that.)

I 100% believe that Tarantino is what he is on the surface and that his work doesn't have the deeper meaning he thinks it has....apart from Foot Fetishes.

Maybe he can try and justify it after the fact, but he really sucks at getting that point across.

Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are both really good movies, if you haven't seen them. I'm not going to pretend that there's some deeper meaning to them, but they are entertaining.

I love Pulp Fiction. I've seen it a bunch of times.
Don't take me the wrong way, I like Tarantino's work. And I do love Kill Bill.

It's just his work is suffused with some much violence and it's done in a way that excites, glorifies or shocks.
It's the 70's grindhouse stuff done in the "modern" age. (I say modern. His stuff is from the 90s to now.)
But he never does violence in a shocking, ugly real perspective to desuade you of the notion that it's the right course of action.

If that's his intent, I think he's been missing the mark.

in interviews he's usually pretty upfront with "i think violence is cool." like inglorious basterds he was like "what are you NOT gonna kill a nazi?"

dude did uma thurman dirty, but it's hard to not respect that kind of attitude. course, hating nazis was obvious back when basterds came out, not so much now so maybe his position has changed lmao
