I mean, yeah. Like ninety percent of Batman’s rogues gallery are just mob bosses with a gimmick. He’s a street level superhero, that’s about how much you can reasonably take on when your superpowers are martial arts and money.

I mean, if you only look at visuals, Pyramid Head is just a dude in a costume. Pretty tame by “hear me out” standards.

Humans, apparently, throw like gods

Let’s also add on that humans used a tactic called “persistence hunting”, in which you follow after some animal at a brisk pace startling it every time it tries to rest. With nothing more than sweat glands, pointy sticks and ridiculous endurance, we marathon jogged some species to extinction!

From a post on the forums for Order of the Stick:

“Calling a wizard a sorcerer is like telling a college graduate that they only passed because they were naturally gifted.”

“Calling a wizard a warlock is like telling a college graduate that they only passed because they gave the dean a BJ behind the Arby’s.”

Anon doesn't like Rorschach

I remember coming across a post of tumblr where someone said that if a guy says his favorite movie/tv show is Breaking Bad, Rick and Morty or Fight Club, you should run immediately.

The reason was that while these are good works exploring complex, broken and often violent men, a certain subset (the kind of people who would claim that one of those was their favorite of all time) doesn’t have the reasoning ability to understand that they’re the villains of their universe and should not be idolized.

Rorschach easily fits within the same mold as Tyler Durden, Rick Sanchez and Walter White, a complex and entertaining protagonist who’s also a terrible person who no one should want to be.
