Favorite bread?

Fair

How do you think they'd better address self harm, specifically?

Ooh. Do you drink them because you work out or for health reasons or?

Tea drinkers unite

Coffee is delicious though

What's a huel-like foodshake?

Noice

What do you eat for dinner?

What kind of sandwiches?

I feel like movies, comic book movies in particular, are structured to condition people to resist changing their worldview, especially views that society wants the audience to have.

Like Batman movies are notorious for this because they're always about pressuring Batman to kill and his refusal to for stupid reasons, even when it is obviously the morally correct thing to do. And producers do it because they don't want the audience to think killing evil people is good -- can't enable the peasants to guillotine their masters, after all.

I genuinely wish we'd get a movie that kind of does what you're asking; that has a character who holds socially correct worldviews and who rejects those views in a way that philosophically makes sense. A movie that sincerely questions those views.

I think the closest we ever got to something like that in modern film is Fight Club.

The rest of the rogue's gallery does in fact have better dynamics with Batman than Joker does.

Joker's some lame ass loser who views supervillainy as a career while literally everyone else in the rogue's gallery has better, more interesting reasons to do what they do. Joker's doing evil for the lulz schtick is boring as fuck. He's nothing but a boring-ass two dimensional Gary Stu and I am tired of being quiet about it.

The only interesting Joker we've had in the past twenty years is the Joaquin Phoenix one.

Heaven forbid writers be forced to come up with something original or anything

There is no one factor that dictates whether someone becomes good or evil. What matters is getting rid of people who are evil for our own benefit, liberty and happiness. To dispute that is to imply people should suffer evil against their best interests, an inherently evil position, so it can be dismissed off-hand.

What part of "no" do you not understand?

No one wants ads. Conversation over.

Never

I don't use them.

It doesn't matter; they're controlling media and entertainment and that makes them always bad regardless of any extenuating circumstances.

All of those problems can be solved by breaking apart all of those corporations, putting all modern franchises in the public domain and legalizing pirating. Change the law solely for our benefit and not theirs. If they don't make content anymore, great; we'll shut off their shitty AIs and make shit ourselves like we were supposed to be doing the whole time.

For that, I recommend lots of vodka
