Aren’t the people he kills always guilty of some pretty objectively horrible crimes? Maybe not necessarily death sentence level stuff, but horrible stuff? I just find it a bit of a leap to connect the Punisher’s actions to those of mass shooters that kill innocent people. Not saying that the perpetrators of mass…

It was S&P, they were coming down HARD on all the animated shows then. That’s also why Morbius craved “plasma,” and never even said the word “blood.”

The Spider-Man cartoon version of Morbius though was fucking hysterical given that he couldn’t bite their necks so he used his suction cup vampire hands to obtain their blood. Not sure if it was S&P or just written that way.

I’m fairly convinced that “Gotham-Verse” is one of those underworlds tearing up DC comics with Batman Metal. It’s just one where Gordon saw the threat and killed Bruce Wayne on his 18th birthday.

Hey Nolan! Pretentious much?

And Yossarian.

Polite Counterpoint: I feel like my enjoyment at this moment in the movie wouldn’t have been any greater if I hadn’t known it was coming.

Uh, lots of kids with absent fathers learn to play sports perfectly fine. My father didn’t teach me shit. It’s all about being motivated to play. I wanted to play, so I learned by watching others.

This isn’t so much an issue with denial as much as it is a completely self-serving rationalization to help him cope with the reality sinking in: that he’s done. He’s not denying reality so much as he is trying to shirk off despair. There’s actually something perversely healthy about looking at it this way.

Why doesn’t your butler just bring them in?

No it’s entirely and in totality Ranch dressing.

Ranch dressing is why America is fat.

I was living in MA when he took Kennedy’s old seat, and I was dumbfounded. “He’s just a regular guy - he drives a truck!”. Even in MA people are fucking idiots.

He pops up on your radar all of the time. You just don’t realize it because he is a master of disguise.

Why are we looking at it in terms of brute force (no pun intended)?

Are you kidding me? Vader wins because Godzilla is too big? This argument was defeated in 1980:
