but I'm also very childlike in that way because I think a lot of that kind of
got because you know taken away a little bit so I still you know I still enjoy
cartoons and Marvel movies or whatever it is and these type of things these
escapism stuff that I feel like I just never really kind of fully got out of
the way and so it's like you grew up fast and now it's like you're making up
for lost time and doing that kind of stuff. I started embracing them again I
thought they were foolish like comic books and comic book movies and stuff
like that I thought they were foolish for a while and then I got as I got older
I go but wait a minute I like those and then I start embracing them as I got in
I guess into my 30s. Yeah I think I think you should have a better
understanding
and again not to get so super deep on superhero movies but I think there is
something that that really kind of shines a mirror on people to if you have
this
blank canvas and be able to create something as to whatever you wanted and
you can create this person. It's kind of interesting I remember I forgot there's
an
essay going around or something that's talking about like Superman for instance
and like how there is some interesting psychology behind it the idea that
everyone
on Krypton is Superman and his alter ego is actually a human as opposed to
every
other superhero his alter ego is their superhero but he actually has to pretend
to
be normal because he just himself is you know whatever it's like this weird
kind of
thing and I remember reading that kind of stuff and thinking about that and
thinking about how like
most recently I think Spider-Man they finally cast a young young guy as opposed
to like a grown
man and there's like what kind of stuff would you go through as a teenager that
all of a sudden
discovered that you have all this stuff going on and they did a good job in the
most recent
movies about him going to high school and telling his best friend and getting
caught about it and
getting all this stuff I feel like there's like as an adult watching it is not
the same I think I
really enjoy it in a different level but it's cool. Yeah well it's just
superhero movies they're just fun that's all it is. That's right. It's just fun.
It's junk food. Yeah. Yeah. Enjoy it.
Junk food for the mind. Yeah I think that there's there's a time like when
people would come by and
say this didn't have any. It's like are you arguing the realism like the people
who pick it apart like
that it's just kind of. They can do whatever they want like if that's what you
want to do with a
superhero movie. Yeah. Go back and do that about Bugs Bunny too stupid. That's
right exactly exactly. Oh he
got shot in the face. He could totally not survive that. Like yeah exactly he's
talking rabbit bro. Yeah exactly. None of it makes any sense.
You know what I watched the other day that I haven't seen in a long time. The
Watchmen. Yes. That's a fucked up
movie. Yeah but that's uh there's um I mean that is so well written. Yeah. And
especially the new
have you said do you watch the series the TV. No. The one. I was watching the
series for a little but
Dr. Manhattan's bullshit. Like Dr. Manhattan's supposed to be a glowing nuclear
blue guy with a giant dick
and all of a sudden he's a regular guy. Right. I was like what is this nonsense.
Right. That's like if the Hulk was
just a guy who like went to CrossFit. Wait wait wait. In the in the HBO series?
Yes. Yeah. I mean I
mean so. Bro he's supposed to be super jacked with a giant dick. Yes. That's
true. Okay. That's the
that's that's Dr. Manhattan. That's right. He's supposed to be able to like
time travel and do whatever
he wants. Yeah. Go to other planets and shit. Yeah. He seems way too normal.
Yeah. Let me see what he
looks like. Pull up what he looks like. Because the one in the in the Watchmen
the movie like it looks like
what you'd expect a god to look like. That's right. He's got the crazy white
eyes. He's almost like
animated. Whereas everybody else in this show is you know basically just a
person with superpowers.
for sure. And some of them don't even have superpowers. And I think that that's
that's
again that's one of those things where living in a world. What is that? Yeah.
Look at him. Get the fuck
out of here. How is that Dr. Manhattan? That's ridiculous. The real Dr.
Manhattan in the movie is like
a perfect specimen. He's like a god. He glows. And then this other one is just
like a dude with makeup on.
Like they just got lazy. Like I don't understand it. There's a what is the. Oh
my god. I can't I'm
blanking on it. Look at him. Look at that. That's not it. That's not it. That's
not it. That's not it.
What is that? That's a costume. Yeah. It's just some guys for hanging out at a
con. Halloween.
Yeah. Is that what it is? Yeah. Yeah. Thank god. I threw up in my mouth. Let
himself go.
It just I just watched it for a little bit and I was like I don't know. But it
is it is more raw. I
think that the the when you're talking about a show or move that kind of stuff
when you start to
kind of blend these superhero situations into real life like people aren't
going to be cool with
everything and they're not all going to be cool. You know like that's the thing.
I think there was there
been a couple you dystopian type of things where what if Superman was bad? He
decided to do terrible
shit. It's like we what could we do? Well, that's the thing about the Watchmen,
right? Like the comedian
is a terrible person in the Watchmen. Yeah. The guy with the mustache and the
cigar. He's fucking
horrible, horrible. He's a murderer. Yeah. You know, but yet he's a superhero.
Right. It's very
yeah, very conflicted. Yeah. The power. Yeah. Absolute power corrupts.
Absolutely. That type
of thought process. Right. There's what is the was that move that the series
the guy that come out
same similar situation where it's a superhero story and it's about the same
thing about these superheroes
like doctor. No, sorry. Mr. Something. God, man, I can't I'm blanking on it.
But but they basically
go follow these superheroes that just aren't good people. I know what you're
talking about.
Yeah. The boys. The boys. The boys. I didn't watch that. Right. Is that good?
It's good. I thought it
was like a Watchmen a Watchmen ripoff. You can kind of see it that way. But it's
obviously it's just
very well written. I'm going to wait that way. Yeah. You can see it that way.
But it's like when you
make evil superheroes like it's a but it's it's it's really it is true. I mean,
if you had if you gave
somebody a ridiculous amount of power or whatever it is. Yeah. How could you
possibly expect that person
to just decide to choose pure. Right. That's what we have right now with the
government. Yeah. I give
a lot of power. Yeah. Exactly. It's a it's a weird time for that. Watch the
