“Not providing a back story for your villain (and constantly creating baited detours for what it may be) makes the villain more mysterious and threatening.” That was what I always thought was the best part about The Joker as a character. He doesn’t need a backstory. He’s inexplicable, a creature who can’t be…

1) Twitter is often a terrible place online.
2) She seems to try to make it a better one.

The same sort of person that is super-butthurt that a diverse staff is working on The Witcher show evinces no concern whatsoever over (or, worse yet, handwaves the idea of) whitewashing in films that come from non-Anglo-European cultures.
