I mean yeah now it is pretty gross and illegal and I am not advocating it at all. I am stating the world and peoples of that time are different from the present and good luck trying to find something close to the good/bad moral compass of fiction because everyone in charge is a rich and involved in some pretty skeevy stuff that does not fly by our standards.

Like the only heroes maybe are the small burgoinging middle class and people into the grass roots of liberty which at this time is still developing and taking root.


Not too belabor this too much but this is a deeply ahistorical take. To take one moral compass we still adhere today, abolitionism, which was the cause celebration for the Haitian revolution, has always being a constant thorn in slave holders feet throughout history.

Ok.

E: gently caress lovely Snype. More on topic anyone else disappointed that they didn't include the Brown Widow in the hall of Spiderman in Across the Spiderverse?

Rusty does deserve some credit, because even though he’s a terrible father and a lovely person, he’s infinitely better on both accounts than Jonas Sr. ever was and actually improved some! And his “Team Venture” is infinitely less psychotic than the original.
I think the biggest difference is that Rusty actually wants to be a good person, deep down, he just has no idea what that means.

Did he ever address Hank's feelings of not being his favorite? What was the end of Hank's story I the movie anyway? Last thing he did I think was watching his dad get pantsed and Monarch yelling and he kinda waved his arms and backed away? I thought they were gong to do a beat where you see him appreciate his "found" family.

That's often pointed to as a turning point for Rusty, too, that so much of his behaviour is indistinguishable from supervillainy in the first place but he hadn't realised it. The while thing with JJ is probably also illustrative there, and with the implication JJ goes from murderous jealousy of Rusty to dismissive one-upmanship, and then rather implied to be pity when he realises how easily he wildly surpassed his brother, as well as how ridiculous the hero-villain games really are and what it's like to deal with that poo poo literally your entire life. Rusty would rather be bad at being a hero than good at being a villain.

Man jj only had like a year or less of proper living and being an uncle to the boys before dying. That's harsh as he does seem like a good guy.

The Ventures are a very real and relatable story of family trauma and how healing it is often a generational project. Being good is out of Doc's reach, but he's a lot less lovely than Jonas, and as a result, he's given Dean a chance to be less lovely than either of them.

As for Hank, he'll be fine. That kid's a superstar.

I'm still thinking that Hank's arc is incomplete, it's such a weird beat to end it where he's just backing away from the room at the end.

I thought that Hank was happy about being back?

Shore Leave is the best. Had the best lines anyway.

Knew a Dermott growing up in the UAE. Mahmoud. Wonder hows he doing.

Thanks to Sheila. Y'know, I feel like much like Rusty has the potential but not the desire to be a great villain, she could have been an excellent hero, it was just the Guild that snapped her up first.

The only thing you need to know is that Depeche Mode is like 100x better than Duran Duran, who are still pretty respectable. Rio is great.
