That incarnation Owl Man is the furthest thing from Verbatim. He's a nihilist.

- Destroy the first replicating molecule.
- No explanation required.
- Universal peace and sublimity.
I think I found a perfect character for you, Verb. Owlman!

huh

does he hate people or something
He wanted to eradicate all of creation, and got really close to achieving it. Like really close.

a lot of people have confused me for a nihilist

It's a standalone animated film. Not a comic (although it might be based on one).

Ultron is a better repesentation, IMO.

I mean, his methods weren't exactly sound, but his motives were pretty spot-on.

Someone has to make a movie or some sort of literature where the antangonist is a bleeding-heart anti-natalist who just wants to sterilise the world.

That would make for an extremely compelling villain and would push the anti-natalist ideal into the subconsious of the viewer, which can only be a good thing.

not if they're a villain lol

i've thought about writing that very book, though, except like... it would be better to write a philosophical treatise, tbh
like a benatar or schopenhauer

i don't think it's worth trying to evoke it in fiction, but it's worth a shot i guess
it's apparently already been done in true detective

Kill that drunk guy who wrote the bible.

Ushan · September 25, 2015, 01:58:26 AM

1. The outcome of the Second Punic War
2. I'm curious

3.) I think America would be a better place in general. I also think we would be on Mars by now.

You do realize the only reason we went to the moon was to beat the Soviets, right? We wouldn't have gone further, and honestly if Kennedy survived, things like Jim Crow laws would have taken far longer to get going.

Luciana · September 25, 2015, 02:10:22 AM

Anyway OT

1. Stopping the burning of the Library of Alexandria
2. Because it's argued we're many years behind for how much knowledge was lost with that. Imagine how much more advanced we'd be if such things didn't fade with the Dark Ages.
3. We'd be more advanced in a few things, medical science for sure.

Nexus · September 25, 2015, 02:16:53 AM

1. Help Nazis win WWII, continue to help them eradicate all inferior beings.
2. Life would be instantly better with out subumans like the Jews, Blacks, Gays, Latinos, Sandniggers, ect.
3. Less crime, world peace, major advances in science, closer to a space age, no welfare queens, no weebs, no jews trying to take all of our money, just overall better quality of life, free world wide internet with actual privacy, good trusted industries. just everything would be better.

1.) What would you change
2.) Why
3.) What do you think would change in modern day

1. Prevent the Dark Ages from happening.
2. Cause it slowed the progression of humanity by a few hundred years
3. Humanity would be more advanced, technology wise

I still think the space race would be farther along. I'm sure there wouldbe negatiev side effects as well, but overall I still think America would be a better place.

-No Famine
-More Irish people alive and in Ireland (Current population is still lower than in the 1840's)
-Less Americans of Irish descent claiming to be "Irish"
-Possible earlier independence from Britain (more folks to riot), hell, maybe even a fully independent one if Michael Collins had more of a force on the bargaining table then.

The problem is that you would not reach the same audience a comic book villain would.

Villains are generally not the people you root for. No one's gonna root for an anti-natalist villain.

let alone agree with him

Verbatim · September 25, 2015, 12:17:45 PM

I mean, sure, you can argue that there are sympathetic villains who are likable because some of the stuff they say actually makes a lot of sense, but like... I dunno, that's kind of a weird way of going about it. I don't wanna fuck around, you know.
