Max Lord should have been a villain longer at the beginning of jli. He got like what twelve issues? of being vaguely ominous before out of nowhere he decides to grow a conscience and beat the computer to death. He doesn't even do anything. His plans for the jli are so vague that they're non-existent. It's just suddenly oh noooo I feel bad for being mean :( Genuinely wish that I could write because I would rewrite his entire everything to be better. Let him do some actual villain shit before being a good guy it could have been so good
#maxwell lord#max being a twist villain in retrospect? stupid. max being a villain in the beginning? could have been fucking perfect#he feels so wasted. character of all time and all they ever do is shoot him and leave him in a coma#you have no idea how desperately i need to make ten million max fics#except i cant write anything unless i have a very specific idea in mind and i DONT#im in agony#i wish he had enacted some kind of villain plan that wasnt to add someone to the team#i cant think of a single thing he does other than expand the roster#and the switch is so sudden like.. give him time. we did not need to shove his entire arc into one issue#someday im going to find a character to latch onto thats well written and i wont have to create an elaborate new story in my head for them#but today isnt that day! instead I have chosen eternal suffering#maybe one day ill find a good way to unleash every horrible thought about him ive been bottling up#but for now. everyone is spared#also hi ant i specified which max its about this time :) just for you
