To be a bit more generous to the kids who get suckered into these loans, how many of them are actually taught what economic viability is or how one determines which jobs will be that? Versus how many of them are told “follow your dreams, you can be anything you want as long as you go to college for it”?
I don’t think we should just grant college debt amnesty, but I do think it’s more that these kids are being misled, manipulated, and taken advantage of rather than them just being dumb and irresponsible.
This was the autism episode
people seem to forget that house was a multiply disabled man, so it should be a given that he’d be against eugenics and eugenicist doctors
House was also a bitter misanthrope and contrarian, so if she’d though they should be accepting of their child’s autism he’d have mocked her for that.

What is it about The Boys that makes it everything you do *not* want in a superhero story?

I do not, and I can’t state this strongly enough, give a flying fuck what superheroes might be like in the “”“"real world”“”“. I do not care at all. I hate that premise. I despise it. I want it to be tortured and beheaded on a dark web livestream.
I don’t want to see terrible stand ins for my childhood heroes turned into murderers and rapists and strawmen for whatever current day issues the writers don’t understand this year. I don’t want to see superheroes used to tell the same tired ass defeatist bullshit story that life is bad and people are awful and everyone is a piece of shit and there’s no good or evil just shades of grey and blah blah blah blah
BORING!

BORING!!!!!
I want superheroes to fight super villains. I want good guys to be good and bad guys to be bad. I want hopeful stories of people being better than the narcissists and psychopaths we see on the news every day. I want heroes that exemplify the best of America and American values without narratively apologizing for shit that happened 100 years ago. I want superheroes to be role models again. I want a child to be able to pick up a comic and be told that the world isn’t an awful place. That friendship and love is real and standing up for what’s right is a reward in itself. I want superhero stories to kill jaded cynicism and embrace genuineness and optimism.
If we wanted morally grey depression and empowered narcissists, we'd watch the news. It's useless to put it where escapist fantasy would be
At this point, the deconstructed, grimdark "What if superheroes were really bad guys?!?!?!" story isn't exciting or interesting because it's pretty much exactly what I expect to get. Maybe it was innovative 40 years ago, but at this point it's a cliche. Show me your cynical, morally and visually gray superhero show, and I just think
