Mine was The Great Muppet Caper.

Your friend is sounds like a DS9 head.

I read the whole Lee/Romita ASM run in Essential format as a teenager. It was my only means of access at that time. My brother still has 10 odd volumes of it I left him when I moved overseas.

I watched tje Shape of Water on a first date with my future wife. Skill issue.

I was looking forward to First Steps and it's literallt been difficult for mr to even remember I watched it this year. Completely unoffensive and unremarkable. I'm literally more excited to see them interact woth the wider MCU than anything else.

Everything before and after is great though.

Read it for first time last year and there is a rather large speed bump...

I mean obvious answer with this.

Capitalist Nepo Baby is mad about getting cucked by Capitalism.

Apparently, the Moff was born 5 days premature, lol.

I also assume it's Steven Moffat's birthday for both those reasons. Nobody fact check me on that.

It definitely wasn't RU2HED.

Not if they oust Nancy Mace first. Then it'll be tied.

I'm up to God Loves, Man Kills in my Claremont Era read.

It's somehow incredibly prescient (A hate rally in MSG) & ideologically funded hate sqauds doing lynchings (Purifiers).

It's also unfortunately horribly dated (Kitty dropping a full chested N word) & an immediately rapey gang latinos.

I was gonna say the same. I thought this was AW2 initially.

I think my most toxic trait, when it comes to engaging with media, is no matter how deplorable, evil, or downright morally reprehensible a given protagonist is, I will somehow find some way, through mental gymnastics or simple logic, to relate to them.
Despite being nothing like them.
How???

The creators of those shows were often astonished by how much they'd managed to put the audience in their characters' corner. Walter White poisons a child, and people were still ride or die.

Nearly all of prestige TV's antiheroes rely on this cognitive bias.

Walter White, Tony Soprano, Don Draper, Vic Mackey, FUCKING DEXTER.

Those shows are often intensely focused on that character's biased POV, which creates understanding, which breeds empathy...for some genuinely heinous dudes.

An actual image of Gunn writing at lightspeed to try and outpace our society's and Warner Bros' structural implosion.

Idris Elba saying “learn to make topical jokes but in a way where you don’t get in trouble” and he’s renting his fingers

Hawkeye by Fraction and Aja. I forget the issue number.

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 (2011)

Never read it, but this looks like Civil War.
