We knew the character were bad, but it’s revealed they’re absolute monsters

I don’t know how many people know about Aliens In The Attic but Ricky is Tom’s sisters douchebag boyfriend, who lied about car troubles to stay with them at a lake house. We knew right away Ricky was sleazy but he drops a more disturbing line when alone with Tom “I tell your parents a lot of things, my car broke down, my parents own a lake house…I’m 18”. It turns out Ricky is a senior in college lying about being a high schooler to his GFs parents.

We all knew from the prequels that Anakin was going to turn into a planet destroying warlord but it’s also revealed he personally murdered Jedi children.

What broke Naomi Wolf?

I went down the rabbit hole of feminist author Naomi Wolf, her rise as an lgbgt and women’s rights activist to her work being called out for plagiarism and misinformation that had people questioning whether her stances came from good intentions. Nowadays Naomi has fully switched to the alt right. Her substack and twitter now resorts to sexist attacks on other women with different views than her calling them sexual frustrated and mentally challenged. I grew up when feminism was the go to point of mockery on the internet and Naomi Wolf was a prime target. What are your guys thoughts on her legacy and current beliefs? Is this a genuine change in heart or all a grift.

Anyone else concerned by how many of the jokers pranks were sexual harassment and public indecency?

So I’m watching clips from the show on YouTube and noticed something. In the skit where a celebrity cameo appears to pants them, they take down their underwear too so their dick is out. In both the skit at the mall with Tommy dreamer and the one with Jay and Silent Bob, there are kids right behind Q. I thought they’d at least have a way to filter kids from coming near where they kids but apparently not.

Even without recent events, a lot of them verge on harassment, assault and public nudity. In one episode, they use a laser pointer at a guy and Joe has to touch whatever part of the body they point at. So the jokers point it at his crotch and Joe touches him there. It’s weird how many sketches are centered around touching people like sneaking sticky pads on their back or pens into their pocket. Another episode where they have to lead a tour group on a bus devolved into Joe pulling his ass crack out and shoving his butt into a ladies face.

Something built up as a supernatural horror turns out to be a realistic depressing thing

Spoilers for Reservation Dogs and Tales From The Hood

In Reservation Dogs, Bear gets lost in the desert and an elderly man named Maximus kidnaps him and brings him back to his house. He tells him the desert isn’t safe, there are star people out there he’s been trying to contact. We see spirit visions and supernatural things in Reservation Dogs so you might assume he’s telling the truth. But when Maximus tells Bear to run because the Star People have arrived it’s just the police to take Maximus back to his nursing home he escaped from. Maximus was an estranged family member of Bear who grew old and suffers from dementia.

In Tales From the Hood, a kid comes to school with a black eye, when asked what caused it the kid drew a monster on a piece of paper. The monster turns out to be the kids abusive step father.

Geniuses who can also fight

Who are some genius or nerd characters who aren’t afraid to get in on the brawling?

The first person that came to mind was Sherlock Holmes who is canonically a boxer and I’m glad the Robert Downey jr movie and young Sherlock series are bringing that aspect back.

A real life example is Dolph Lundgren who is both. Professional kickboxer and a chemical engineer who graduated from MIT.

Dan Bilzerian, The Neo Nazi Influencer Running For Congress Discovered He Is Part Jewish In A DNA Test

The TLDR is that Dan Bilzerian is a rich manosphere influencer with a long history of stolen valor, bigotry, and holocaust denialism. Recently he declared he was running for Congress in Floridas 6th district. It has resurfaced that Dan took a DNA test and discovered he is part ethnically Jewish. Now he’s on twitter fighting Nick Fuentes and using Nazi race science to defend himself.

(Hated trope) Episodes even die hard fans choose to ignore

I love ouran high school host club, hilarious show. But I think the majority of fans will agree the worst episode is The Sun The Beach And The Host Club. Haruhi, pretending to be a boy, gets into a fight with two bullies and gets thrown into the water. Then her friends get mad at her for getting into a fight because she’s a boy. Then you get objectively the worst scene of the show where Kyoya by pretending to SA Haruhi to show her why girls need to rely on guys??? What the fuck were they thinking when they wrote this?

The principal and the pauper is agreed by fans and the creators as the day the Simpsons die. It destroyed Skinners built up character.

Children’s media suddenly becomes dark or depressing

Spoilers for both adventure time and Ed Edd n eddys big picture show.

In Adventure Time season 4, what seems like a normal episode following ice king writing songs suddenly becomes very depressing when he meets Marceline. It’s revealed Ice King used to be friends with Marceline and was a father figure during the war, but the magic crown he discovered made him crazy and he has no memory of her now.

Throughout Ed Edd n Eddy we always hear Eddy talk about his older brother like a hero, and the plot of the movie was them traveling to finally meet him. Except Eddys brother immediately starts abusing him. He’s the first adult shown on screen and it’s really jarring to see him suddenly beat the shit out of his own brother.

What historical figures or celebrities are you surprised were anti bastards or weren’t bastards?

We talk a lot about what great heroes turn out to be pieces of shit, but what figures were you surprised weren’t bastards and potentially heroes?

Joshua Norton was a business man who moved to San Francisco and bankrupted himself trying to price gouge the rice market and became homeless. After years on the street, he declared himself emperor of America and started getting involved in politics, attending meetings and publishing decrees in newspapers. I never had a low opinion of Joshua Norton but most videos on him do a disservice by leaving out what a genuine hero he was for the community. His newspaper articles were full of civil rights advocacy, the Norton trust discovered he was signing women’s suffrage petitions, he stopped a hate mob before it could form. He was more than some crazy guy pretending to be emperor, he was an activist who used his celebrity status to fight racism.

How Evil Are The Heffley Parents?

It’s no secret that the Heffleys are no saints and have committed several crimes and petty Karen behaviors over the years. So let’s assume every story from Greg in every book is true, are the Heffleys just unlucky parents trying their best, or menaces to society? I just thought this would be funny.

Comically Intense Exterminators

I never thought of how common the archetype of evil overly intense exterminators was until now.

There’s Dwayne Lafontant the exterminator from Over the Hedge who installs literal war crimes in people’s back yard to catch rodents and can sniff out what type of animals they are from a distance.

The exterminator from ant bully is seen as a god of death to the ant hill in Billy’s backyard.

In family guy to deal with a flea infestation they call in a whole military crew who destroy the whole house fighting the bugs.

The last time they tried a mundane hobby something tragic happened

We all know the trope of an older man who promised to never hold a weapon again, because of trauma. But tons of shows parody this by having characters trauma tied to a usually harmless hobby. Branch from trolls accidentally got his grandmother killed by singing. Benson tried to warn Mordecai and Rigby from playing Table Hockey because he used to compete in ice hockey death tournaments that got his student killed.

(Loved trope) Good representation in older media

It’s always interesting looking back at older media and seeing the good, bad and in between choices when showing marginalized groups. And it’s especially fun to find the hidden gems that had good representation. Yes, I know Jungle Book is a stretch but compared to Disney’s other work at the time it’s a relief.

In 1968 after MLK died, Charles Schulz was still hesitant to add a black peanuts character fearing it would feel like forced pandering. What finally convinced him was a teacher writing him a letter asking for a black character. And that’s how Franklin was added.

Survivor reference in Diary Of A Wimpy Kid

I was reading Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Hot Mess( yes I read those books still as an adult shut up) and saw this survivor reference. Possibly a reference to Jerri Manthey. It only lets me upload one image but there’s a second drawing of a man named Doug getting voted off. I can’t think of anyone named Doug on the show, at least no one notable, so they may both be just random names.

Bastards are complicated people and a lot of the villains and heroes through history made unexpected contributions to society. Hugh Hefner helping fund Martha Goddards laboratory that created the rape kit along with tons of gay rights activism for the time. What are the bastards that did the most out of pocket good things.

When an actors or creators personal life adds layers to the media.

Kevin Conroy is no doubt one of the greatest voice actors in history, and what helped him create the perfect Batman character was his sexuality. Kevin used his experience as a closeted gay man to channel Bruce Wayne’s double life as Batman.

During the production of beauty and the beast, composer Howard Ashman was diagnosed with HIV and terminally ill. The rose petal countdown for the beast became a grim metaphor for his illness. The crew literally brought a keyboard to his hospital room and he was writing Gaston from it. He died during production and the rest of the movie was finished in his honor.

Moses West, the engineer providing free water to communities with his Atmospheric Water Generator

Stumbled across this very cool guy, Moses and wanted to share. Moses West is a former Army Ranger and engineer who founded the Moses West Foundation in 2015. The idea started out as a generator soldiers can travel with and produce water. Moses West created an Atmospheric Water Generator able to generate hundreds of gallons of water a day to be handed out in regions suffering from droughts, hurricanes, and poisoned water pipes. 7 gallons of water sold for a dollar. The foundation's goal is setting up permanent generators in Caribbean countries hit by hurricanes every year.
