Cause movie villains are made to be cool to sell merch and relatable so you like them as a character, real life is often a lot more lame even when it comes to awful shit including awful people.
It’s a damn good article too
One of my favorite parts of the article:
“Unfortunately, while you may be able to buy power, it’s impossible to buy a good personality. Watching his Nigel-no-friends attempts to be popular, his endless pathetic tweets that read as though they come from the brain of an 11-year-old poser, has made me start to believe we should bring back bullying.”
I take back everything bad I said about Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor… He nailed it.
It’s very likely that all historical world-burners have been losers.
I mean…
Look at Hitler.
Don’t be so surprised – I hate to go all Godwin and bring up Nazis, but the Nazi hierarchy was largely loosers. Hitler was a failed artist who led a failed coup. Hitler was a dorky chicken farmer who looked like Poindexter. Goebbels was a short, ugly little man, but he was the only one with any extensive education. Goering was successful in the 1st World War, but his Luftwaffe ultimately got spanked, and he was in disgrace.
The decline of civilizations tends to be led by noticeably flawed people (but their minions just don’t care about the flaws, because they tell them what they want to hear and get rid of people they don’t want around).
Whos the bigger loser? The loser or the ones who support them?
People without morals are people without spine. And people without spine are typically losers
Always remember that any of these people could use their fortune to feed just about every hungry person in the world. They choose not to. They are the problem that needs to go.
All the villains, banding together, only to be struck down in a single, glorious blow
Good god, this is the first thing in weeks I’ve seen that REALLY deserved the title MbW.
Are those inflatable pool toy glasses?
Well written.
The new ‘bro’ look he came out with. Loser.
Wait is he thinking those glasses will actually become a thing?
love that temu woody allen pic
One little point about this article that I’d like to point out:
Nerds are nice people. They’re focused on their own little topic(s) and like to enjoy themselves without disturbing others too much.
That’s what “normal” nerds are.
These “tech bro” CEOs aren’t like normal nerds. They’re insecure nerds. The so-called nerds who are desperate to be “cool” like their bullies.
Mark Zuckerberg | Donald Trump | Elon Musk | Andrew Tate | Joe Rogan | Jordan Peterson … Rebecca Shaw?
I was confused for a second lol
I visited Meta Lab in LA a while ago. The Ray Ban / Meta Glassed are garbage. The video and photos take forever to transfer from the app to your phone’s photo library, look awful, and the slow clunky AI is a joke. It’s basically a Sharper Image product.
Hey, that’s actually kind of a funny line. I didn’t think this sub was capable of that anymore
I skimmed the article.
Reddit is gonna hate me but….
Not only was inappropiate, heavily bias and downright misleading in its opinionated views. It was written by a woman which won’t help any arguements made in it.
It was a 100% true though.
10/10 would recommend.
This guy, this guy. Have you heard his ‘patter’, he talks like a cheap self help audiobook for under 15s.
I blame the movie Revenge of the Nerds. That movie empowered the dweebs. Damn you Luis and Gilbert! Damn you!

Zuck looking like he’d trade his limbs for tik tok like Ongo Gablogian
We let the geeks take over
Why is my boy Nathan catching strays here though
Spot on
The best and most accurate headline for out times
A bunch of goddamn nerds who latched on to a b list celebrity and 100% narcissistic conman loser.
My friend went to school with ivanka at choate. A bunch of old money, well educated elite. They all scoffed at the Trumps. Trump had the worst reputation. For being overly litigious. Overtly criminal. No one wanted anything to do with him.
Now he’s got the keys to the United States nuclear arsenal…. For the 2nd time. After trying to overthrow our last election.
Side note: for everyone that voted for Trump. Hope you enjoyed the fruit of our countries last fair election. Musk is going to go to work to make sure that was the last one. Fucking rubes.
Legit.
They are a bit like Pixar villains. They went evil because nobody gave them love or attention. They go to bed sad and grumpy. Hopefully they will encount some pesky little girl or a chubby boyscout.
It makes sense though now that we’re here. They wouldn’t be awful if they weren’t losers.
Great article
Folks here need to be a bit more level-headedness to appreciate what they read and agree with while also calling out its shortcomings.
While there’s good straight, pointed criticism here, the depth of material covered is pretty damn basic. I’ve seen much better interpretations from communities elsewhere, including Reddit itself. It doesn’t go much beyond repeatedly using the headlining, angry keywords. I just read the word “cringe” at least four times.
I agree with the subject matter. But the write up isn’t worthy of The Guardian tag.
*(Seriously, please stop employing the informal word “cringe” as a shoe in for repulsive behaviours and tendencies. The word itself is cringier than whatever or whoever it’s describing).*
So the villains aren’t cool or charming enough to burn it all down? That’s the kind of attitude that enabled these sorts of freaks to prosper in the first place.
Isn’t that sexist? We make an effort to say things like humankind instead of mankind and so on, but now it’s just men? Here in Europe half the leaders of extremist-right parties are women. What about Weidel, Meloni and LePen? In the US they shown themselves malicious enough with people like Boebert and Pelosi. It’s just sexist to pin that on one gender at this point.
This is such a cope lol billionaires are fucking you over and you think they’re the losers?
Please.
omg! you showed them!
Here’s the specimen who wrote the article
Stop making fun of Zuckerberg! They’re real people! You know how many mean comments about his appearance he’s probably read about online? It’s like a big classroom and people are bullying the nerd.
The world isn’t ending because of Facebook lol
