I respect an “I can fix him” villainfucker 50x more than a “he didn’t do anything wrong, he’s just misunderstood!” villainfucker. like yeah they both get the cute domestic happily ever after, but man the first guy has depth they have nuance and most importantly they are actually aware they’re a villainfucker
but the guy i respect MOST is the unapologetic villainfucker. “yeah he did that shit and it was sexy” fuckers. “was the wanton murder fun babe it looked fun” fuckers. these guys know where it’s at
Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone’s lying about themselves they’re trying to look better but sometimes they’re trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intent to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.
I will die on this hill; Peter does NOT look like a sea captain. Do you think he does any work on that ship? He looks like a smarmy businessman in the most generic suit you’ve seen in your life that he copied identically from a mannequin because he doesn’t care about learning fashion. Or maybe he’d just wear black shoes with a brown belt. Either or.
