    Question Of The Day

    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Can’t Stand Carnage Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy Matthew PetersonDecember 2, 20197 Comments1 Min Read

    Regular listeners of our Dueling Review podcast will note that Stephen takes great joy in poking at me about the recent Carnage-centric Marvel crossover.  I’ve mellowed on my youthful dislike of characters like Wolverine, Green Lantern Kyle Rayner and even Venom, but the idea of taking a character whose concept is “the worst elements of humanity AND Spider-Man” and upping the ante into the blood-soaked mess that is Carnage is something I can’t stand.  It’s not that I don’t like him, as it’s sometimes fun to mock and snark about things you don’t like, it’s truly a fundamental disconnect between Carnage and my world-view, leading to today’s razor-edged query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) also thinks that Woody Harrelson’s fright wig was quite silly, and hopes that any Venom sequel does better with Kasaday’s hair, asking: What single fictional character is the one you most find you can’t stand?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      Damian Wayne. I’m pretty sick of Bat-anything at the moment and he embodies all that’s bad at Batman.

      Boba Fett.

      So of course, when Disney finally makes a live action Star Wars TV show, it’s all about a friggin’ mandalorian. Blargh

        I partially agree. Boba Fett as a character is overrated. He is the essence of style over substance. I hope he stays dead.
        In the Mandolorian, he is not the super-uber warrior that Fett was supposed to be, but a mostly competent bounty hunter that has a conscience.

          Yeah, I’ll probably end up watching it. It’s just all the Mandolorian lore we have exists only because of fan and author obsession with Boba Fett, and I can’t separate that knowledge from the experience whenever I encounter it.

          It’s partially irrational, but that’s how deep my feelings about the overratedness of Boba Fett go.

        and “unsavory” is obviously subjective, but personally, the types of folks who are really, really into the Punisher are dudes who i’d rather stay far away from.
