Eddie. So there's Ed, Nickelodeon, it's like a plank in the network, right? Some kind of. They're always trying to scam the other kids and like, steal money from them. And it's, it's per. It's like. It epitomizes what it's like to be predictive programming. Well, it's, it's, it's, it's epitomizes what it's like to be a young American growing up in the 90s, 2000s, even 2010s. Yeah. There's no adults, no institutions, no nothing. Everyone's out the lunch. You're on your own. You got to figure it out. And there's like a lesson in there. They're pursuing this jawbreaker. The jawbreaker is like the, like it's going to provide them over in and of itself. I want to stress the reason why Batman is the best superhero ever is because I understand he was born rich, inherited money. The point is, when Batman Superpowers is described in comic lore as peak human, meaning he trains himself, he studies as hard as he can, and he works out to the best of his abilities and uses wealth, which is decentralized human output, to make the best technologies. He is, he is the best every human can be. He is, he is the best of everything that a human can be. He's also the most reactionary superhero because the common complaint by leftists, including even Grant Morrison, who wrote him for quite some time, was, well, why does Batman, privileged white guy, beat up poor people? Why does he just give all his money away from social. Yeah, social programs? And it's like, because you don't fix the Joker with more youth clubs, to be fair. Punch him in the face to be fair. I think the Injustice storyline, if it, you know, I'll put it like this. Okay. Do you guys know Injustice? Of course. One of the best, best stories in my opinion. They made the game with it. They've done the show. Joker drugged Superman, puts a nuclear bomb in Manhattan, drugged Superman, murders his pregnant wife, and then the bomb goes off, wiping out Metropolis. Coupled to a heartbeat. And he gets hurt, Right? He gets him to accidentally kill Lois Lane because he hallucinates that she's Doomsday. Yes. And then when she dies, the bomb goes off. So then he hunts down the Joker and Batman's like, why did you do this? Normally the games you play are not so serious. And he says, because with you, it's so difficult, but with him, I just want to play on easy mode one time. Superman comes in and rips his heart out. Superman snaps and just the Joker rips his heart out. And he says to Batman, if you just killed him, none of this would have happened. And that's the issue I take with Batman, that he's like, the Joker's killed so many people. He shot Barbara Gordon through the stomach, paralyzing her. Beat Jason Toll to death. He'd beaten Jason Todd to death. I'm gonna just put him in jail where he escapes every week. Law and order guy. He's in the system, right? And it never worked. It never worked. And that's the problem with Batman.
