Yeah, the ol' "Disingenuously imply that there is universal disdain for a term/phrase which constitutes an arbitrary personal pet peeve" template is always good for a solid 1-4 likes.

Were the genders reversed but the scenario otherwise the same, would you be singing this same song? Really take a long look inside yourself (eww—this afternoon's granola~!) and answer honestly. Would this article even exist? And if it did exist, but instead as an irritatingly verbose treatise with the central…

Likewise…

Yup, that's a quote from the movie, alright!

Well there's the whole business about his arc being comically rushed and less than wholly convincing, for starters.

How is that a new complaint? Folks were complaining about TDK's darkness relative to its superhero brethren from day one…
