So I said, I really identify with villains. I'm not really a superhero individual, right? Like, I identify more with Magneto than I do Professor X, for sure, hands down far and away. The reason that I identify with villains because they tend to be more realist, very, very intelligent human beings, but have been blessed with or cursed with great power, most times more than what they want it. And they've been thrusted into this space, and asked to to be nice to play nice to, to use what has been bestowed upon them, to better everyone around them to the detriment of themselves. And most villains say raw deal, not with it. There's a great number of villains actually, that I wouldn't count as villains at all that have been placed in this box of like, well, if you don't do it the heroes way, then you're a villain villain. Nothing could be more true than that when you're talking about Magneto and Professor X Magneto, not a villain. It's not. He is just seen over and over again, how humans treat mutants and has decided why do we need to keep interacting with them? Every time we do it, they find out our about us and want to kill us or want to capture us. And like study us want to use us to create weapons to make themselves more powerful. This doesn't seem like a relationship that I should be in Magneto is a realist. Neato is somebody that I can identify with. That like every time we get into close relationship, you do some foul stuff. And then you expect me to be cool with it. turn a blind eye from it and keep moving. Right like and I'm not supposed to adjust. Why am I the villain because I don't want to be bothered anymore. Why am I the villain because I want to protect myself. Far be it from me to want to live. And I'm supposed to like sacrifice myself so that you feel comfortable. That's all Magneto saying. And a lot of real ways. That's what most villains are saying. I saw the new Batman movie. I'm not going to spoil it for you. I don't have enough time to actually spoil it for you. It was a three hour movie. My podcasts are no longer than 10 minutes. Don't got enough time to spoil it for you. We're already three and a half minutes into this episode. All I'm gonna say is maybe just maybe the riddler’s right and more often than not Batman's villains are Batman is like this tortured soul who is somehow also an eternal optimist who thinks that everything can be better. The Joker's The Riddler is correct. In this, I believe. When you see the movie, you will know what I'm talking about. What I did like about the movie is that the Riddler was in control the entire time. And he says something at the end of the movie that blew me away. No, I'm not going to tell you what it is. Maybe I'll tell you what it is because by the time I actually put this out, I hope you've seen it. He said that I couldn't have done any of the damage that I did without your help. In talking to Batman. Batman thinking that he's solving a crime is actually Helping to commit the crimes. Because without Batman, Riddler doesn't have the strength to pull these things off. Without Batman putting the things together and involving himself, because he has to save the day, there will be no story. If Batman went on vacation, there would have been no movie. I sat in a movie theater for three hours to come to the realization that Batman needs a vacation and a therapist. And if he had both of those things, there wouldn't have been a movie. Go figure. Some of y'all need to understand that. That some of the stuff that's going off in your life, if you would take a nap and get a snack, there might not be a movie might not be a scene to create because you're not there. Maybe you just need a vacation. Also, maybe the villains are right. And we should listen. It's a weird episode. Take it for what you will. It's kind of like the chicken fingers episode. Whether you like it or not. It happened. This has been so I said and I just did
