Hi, I just want to thank everyone
who took the time to comment on my rant
about how movies like Despicable Me 2
are proof that Hollywood has gone soft on super villains.
A lot of you agreed with me that movies
that present super villains as secretly having
a heart of gold are lulling our children
into a false sense of security.
DJSQUARED8 writes, Last time I checked, the classic
Bond villain was named Goldfinger not Goldheart.
Preach it, DJSQUARED8.
Commenter steveandhisidiot totally agrees
that Hollywood is trying to shift our sympathies.
He writes, I actually left Man of Steel
feeling bad for Zod.
See, that's how they get you.
I myself left Man of Steel feeling bad
for the tens of thousands of civilians
who must have died in that endless final battle.
Ah, the commenter henrygonecrazy writes,
Has no one realized that even Star Ward did this
when Vader killed the emperor?
That's a really good point.
He's actually an archetypal villain,
you couldn't really call Darth Vader a wussy.
GothamsBlackKnight writes, Did we ever consider
that the guy in this vid could be a gulp, bad guy?
Look GothamsBlackKnight, if it's bad
to fight against the moral relativity of super villains,
then I don't want to be a good guy.
Several of you suggested that I look like Gru
from the Despicable Me movies.
Gru from the Despicable Me movies is totally bald
and he has a fat, round face and a sharp, pointy nose.
I don't have a sharp, pointy nose.
Thanks for your comments.
Keep watching and keep commenting on the Wired channel.
[Voiceover] There's a lot of stuff I'm angry about.
What's getting under your skin?
Make a video and let me know.
Everyone's got an angry nerd in them.
