The biggest inaccuracy movies taught us is that villains are cool. Not talking about the moral aspects, just that they would look and act stylishly. Real world evil is so frequently dorky, schlubby and banal.

I always say that many Americans’ (MAGA) emotional development has stunted at age five; when children are amoral and support the “winner,” the bully in the playground because they can’t differentiate right from wrong yet.
So true. Black MAGA hat t-shirt, jeans, and a sports coat afterthought while the spawn tells POTUS* to gtfo of his own office. It's all so banal considering the seismic shift in operations.
Yeah, Anyone who has looked into serial killers and family annihilators knows that they are often the most dorky forgettable socially inept people ever.
They're so incredibly uninspiring. Boring, boring people with nothing intellectually stimulating about what they say or even how they say it. They're all so vapidly insipid it's like watching marshmallows slowly crash into each other despite knowing they'll still somehow manage to destroy the world.
I worked in the international unionized construction trades with every kind of thug and gangster you can imagine and honestly, it was a lot more fun to work for the gangsters because they just enjoy life more breaking the rules and living by, fuck the world.
If you make some unconnected nobody a foreman he thinks he has to act tough to garner respect but he just comes off as an asshole but make a connected guy a foreman and he doesn't have to remind you that he's a tough guy because everyone knows what he can have done.
And unimaginative. A feudalist tech empire. Boring!!! An Olympic size swimming pool full of champagne Jell-O with gold coins floating in it? EXCITING!!
Ya know what IS cool? Fighting fascism! Write your reps and tell them you will not support anyone who reaches across the aisle and works with fascists.
Yyyyyeah but it kina ends there? Hugo Boss and Channel happened to design for them, but the people inside the uniforms were uninspired schlubby dorks and boring wonks. Much like Elon or Ben Shapiro in their leather trench coats, one cool garment does not a badass make.
