I want a Batman so gritty and depressing that one can't watch it without killing themselves

i liked iron man (2008) then i look away for a little bit and it's spawned dozens of spider baby movies and people are talking about thor and the alternate universe and while i am completely able to accept crap like vin diesel's "perfect dark" within the context of a single movie... just, i dunno. this comic book movie shit is somewhere in between a brainwash cult and when you've jerked off too many times but you're still trying anyways and meanwhile your life is ending one second at a time

while i'm here, i've read some snorri, the actual norse sagas, and it annoys the piss out of me that a generation of kids is now growing up thinking of thor as that movie twat instead of the badass he was

you know. if you actually read the norse sagas, there is a distinct whiff of the jungian. some sort of mussing with the shared architecture of metaphor we all have. like, that it's waking up and starting to consider itself
then, shit, if you r00t a jungian archetype can you collectively reprogram people? those who are into drinking diarrhea anyways

perhaps this is how both madonna and david bowie operate(d). but everyone hates madonna and loves david bowie; i'm sure there's a reason but snorri never got around to writing it up

i suppose it probably plays down to stock characters that a commercialized society eagerly fills in with monetized horseshit.

i dunno, that, perhaps, there is some need in people for a thor. and this has been recognized by disney, and they wound not flinch at grinding tens of thousands of souls into a pulp in order to control this for financial gain: fuck off, we own thor now. we're putting him on a mcdonald's cup

used to feel good about religion starting to fall on the unfashionable list, then i saw it start to go other places, like Movie Twat Thor and qanon. i've had fun designing my own ontology and it works for me but some days i wonder if i'm obligated thoughtfully jam a pipe wrench into the gears simply because i see it's not been going anywhere good as of late

i would argue that stories are at the basis of any human mind. fight club turning this into a sort of distilled perfume: i am jack's bile. i am jack's inflamed sense of rejection
homeric epics, the aeneid, jews biblically fjording the desert... these effectively form a package-ready "here's the history up until now and now you know what to do next." like, don't eat shellfish -- because when we are writing this, shellfish is some rank shit. and it helps people survive. but it also causes loads of really brutal wars. now disney owns the characters that make up our soul; who we are and how we decide to act. disney+ to go up five quid a month in march

it's kind of nauseating to consider how much Disney has taken over: xyz was common folklore; now people know it as a Disney movie. Snow white, Cinderella. Robin hood a long game promo for Zootopia
