  • That happened at my university, though not to someone affiliated with the university. He was trying to break up a fight. He had a gun and it fell out its holster. He was grabbing for it as campus police were shouting not to. They shot and killed him. While you can argue about whether the police response and training was appropriate, one thing is definitely true. If he had not had a gun on him that day, he would not have been killed. A country awash in guns is not a better country, despite what the “a well armed society is a polite society” people claim.

    Depends on who writes him. The modern Marvel Cinematic Universe has more than its fair share of mustache twirlers.

    Sure, I’m talking general trends.

    • Black Panther’s Killmonger: Saw injustice against Black people and how Wakanda was doing little to stop it.
    • Thanos: Motive changed from trying to impress Death (the Marvel entity) to watching his home planet of Titan starve to death from overpopulation, leading to killing half of life.
    • Scarlet Witch: Mom misses her husband/kids!
    • He-Who-Remains: Sure he kept a timeline devouring monster at the end of time, but it’s for the greater good!
