    Nah Thanos was a cool villian. Musk is Syndrome.

    He wanted to be a cool superhero, but he sucks at it so he’s angry and became a villian.

      Syndrome was at least somewhat sympathetic, you can see how he got to where he was. Musk is more like Tighten, a loser who lucked into his “power” and abuses it thinking he’s owed and still thinks he’s a hero

    I literally never saw Musk as a real life Tony Stark. He always was more or less ‘some tech executive’ to me, but my perception of him change to ‘toxic shithead’ the moment he lashed out at people criticising his submarine idea.

      Well I’d like to thank you. I’ve been considering watching that movie because my friend wouldn’t shut up about it. Now that I know Ed Norton is in it I can say fuck that and avoid it at all possible costs.

          He was basically blacklisted from a huge section of Hollywood for pulling what I’d refer to as a Chevy Chase. Only difference is that Ed retained his talent. No shortage of reporting on it either. It’s why he ran off to the tech world for a hot second. People just don’t want to work with him. Personally I’ve had a run in with him too, or been in the same area anyway. He was getting angry with some barrista that they didn’t recognize him and give him the drink for free. Was at that point I decided to purposefully never give him any attention because the motherfucker clearly has too much if that went that far to his head.

            You’re of course free to watch whatever you like, but it seems to be that if you are going to boycott anything which involves someone who happens to be an asshole, then there isn’t going to be anything left for you to enjoy.
