Victory Is Boring: Difference between revisions

Line 156:

== Web Originals ==

* In his 100th episode, the [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|AVGN]] came to the realization that his purpose as The Nerd is meaningless without bad video games. At the beginning, he was wishing that his game room wouldn't be cluttered with so many bad games. But when ROB the Robot removed them from existence (for its own purpose), that victory felt hollow.

* Entirely averted in ''[[Interviewing Leather]]''. Eponymous supervillain Leather has spent the entire web series snarking that superheroes aren't ''really'' interested in eliminating supercrime, because without supervillains they'd have no purpose to their lives and would look like total clowns wearing superhero costumes and codenames and rolling out to deal with mundane problems. The protagonist reporter finally manages to reach superhero Darkhood to hear his view on the topic, and he completely obliterates Leather's POV in one paragraph.

{{quote|'''Darkhood''': Let’s say that [Leather] was right, and that I’d feel… what was it? Silly? Silly showing up in costume if there were no costumed villains. So we reduce crime. We protect lives and civilians, and we get metahuman and paranormal criminals out of the equation, and the only price is my ''embarrassment''? You think I wouldn’t take that deal in a ''second''?}}
