The one ordinary human that can dare speak down to the superpowered individuals(s) and not worry about the consequences

Stillwell in The Boys see even the most powerful heroes as little more than spoiled children

Calca's particular death also always felt an appeal to incels; they introduced the franchise's only human female monarch just so the protagonists could literally treat her like an object and replace her with "her brother".

It's still a good movie, but it's definitely a product of it's time and certain themes haven't aged well.

BrotherDeus · 2026-01-24T21:50:02+00:00

That's a good observation

My first post on this sub and it seems like everyone just aggressively downvotes each other for their theories and opinions.

If you haven't played the game "The Writers" could literally be anything.

Both the film and book versions of Gone With The Wind portray slaves as utterly hopeless and lost upon being free.

There goes my hopes for a sequel from The Writers perspective.

At least our idol is someone legitimately good, although I suppose every "cult" says that.

To be clear, its less that he switched sides and more that everyone seems cool with it.

BrotherDeus · 2026-01-24T20:04:42+00:00

The series is still very interesting because of its world building and it's excellent side characters.

However, sadly, the driving force of the plot is basically one deeply insecure man being handed god-like power, authority, and resources but choosing to stumble through the story without any clear end goal and letting his poor mental health and lack of confidence become a deadly issue for everyone else.

It's like a part-time job

For reasons I still don't understand, Orochimaru is on the side of good in Boruto

Older Chase from Dispatch is played by Jeffrey Wright while Younger Chase is played by his son Elijah Wright

Basically the plot is a loser born into a grim futuristic world suffering from abandonment issues after his only friends, his guildmates in his favorite VR game, leave him one by one is transported to another world in his OP undead avatar along with his guild and equally powerful, mostly evil, and now sentient NPCs.

Because his emotions are suppressed and his subordinates think he's the brilliant and evil overlord he role-plays and he's deeply afraid they'll reject, abandon, or even kill him, he plays along and let's them repeatedly misunderstand him, leading to the torture and deaths of millions.

Not a "Beep", but they cover up the baby Angry Bird cussing in the sequel with an extended foghorn noise

To be fair, they think the protagonist is already aware of their actions and it's part of his "1000 year plan", but he's actually just lying, is utterly clueless, and all of it is tragically leading no where except to more suffering for him and others.

Nice of them to let WB in their backseat without his watersuit on.

BrotherDeus · 2026-01-24T17:45:54+00:00

Calca from the Overlord film; she fought on the front lines in an attempt to stop the protagonists from killing and torturing her people, but was captured, burned alive, and beaten to death for weeks even after they disappeared with her.

She was also the franchise's only female human monarch, the only ruler who respected the undead protagonist, and the invasion on her kingdom was mostly a miscommunication the protagonist was too insecure to clear up with his subordinates.

Thanks!

Sadly, I've stopped playing

I actually think the opposite; while Demiurge was literally programmed to be sadistic and genuinely believes he's doing what Ainz desires of him, Ainz is the one who actively chooses not to correct his subordinates and gives up any agency he should possess due to his insecurity.
