read somewhere "jujutsu kaisen is just a story of people desperately trying to make the world a better place for their loved ones and failing miserably" and oh boy do i fucking agree with this

its so funny that the literal incarnation of evil is less evil to me than the facist dictator and the guy who killed his people to lie and control them better.

Demeter is afraid of bats so their main villian is gonna be this like. mad scientist who prolly created the spiders that bit her who is prolly experimenting on themselves to become some sort of bat creature.. like man-bat and the lizard mixed together but I don’t think this guy is in anyway sympathetic. he’s obsessed with evolution, he’s bored of humanity he’s prolly obsessed with spider-man (whichever spider-man exists in this universe is probably going to die or sumn 😭)

speaking of bafflingly messy media: sometimes i look at the 100 and i'm bummed out that it ended up Like That (or i guess that it just was Like That) because it had a lineup of genuinely good and interesting characters and sometimes managed really great storylines. but then, you know...
the rest of it.

also like the one fury road reference in billions seeming so like unspecific to me at first that i was like uh could that have just been Any reference to any media where any character spits in someone’s face. and then at some point in the however many times i’ve reexperienced the scene since being aware of that reference it’s like, well here’s a reminder of everything else going on around that, and i had the half joking thought like nux is going on back there like “he is the one who grabs the sun” and i’m like well axe would be like, wow great employee attitude. it has also then occurred to me like, it might be weird for axe to be like “i am nux in this scenario, who would be that lowest level employee and who everyone’s going like aw he’s pathetic we don’t have to kill him” and the like. But Then wretchedly it’s like well i would bet that looking at this movie as a whole, axe Could relate to the villain / go “wowww too antihero. unsympathetic” about furiosa because he’s going like “uhh fucked up if someone high ranking is entrusted with resources and this exchange task and even gets a shoutout from their boss & then they’re like, bye actually” like What a betrayal. my epic former employee character of all time who just defected will be so pwned if i compare them to this epic protagonist character of all time pwning someone who’s just said that you can’t defy him(tm) like, everyone would understand the perspective that that’s fucked up / you should say you’re like the antagonists in this scenario
