Every time a writer does this it’s like the biggest tell - you can see the moment where they realized they were describing the antagonist trying to change the world to the way things should be but then had to catch themselves and say “shit! We can’t show that! make bad guy blow up a hospital or something!”
Another example being the…lol…“Flag Smashers” from Falcon and WS. They were trying to give medicine and food to starving people, but because that’s cool and good, they had the main character literally bomb a hospital and say “that’s how you get through to these people” like ok disney we get it you hate the poors
but even that’s not a fair comparison, because sad grandpa is not self reflective. he’s just a fucking prick.
It would be super cool if you would temporarily suspend my account for one week, in successive intervals for each wrongthink upvote, so that my account is essentially bricked for an entire month. CENSOR ME HARDER DADDY
