Penelope

When they are in the catacombs and Hannibal is about to leave but Will calls his name and he stops dead in his tracks

This show is so good at consistently showing, through his treatment of the crew, how Flint is a revolutionary who doesn't actually care about the people, but uses them for his own purposes (just like the empire he is fighting) and it's so compelling. The uninterest and even complete disregard for the members of his crew should be a turn-off in a main character but somehow it isn't, it just makes him more interesting. Truly the show of all time

Magneto isn't a villain he's professor X's lame boyfriend who occasionally dabbles in anarchy and helps them only because of Charles' doe eyes.

Gay fanfiction is the only reason I believe in love

I’m not a classicist, but I suspect one of the reasons so many of the Greek gods are portrayed so unflatteringly was less because they were seen as villains than because they represented their domains.  Of course Zeus sometimes misuses his power, that’s what a king does.  Of course Artemis’s wrath is wild and painful, that’s what nature can be.  Of course Hades snatched away a young girl from her mother’s arms, that’s what death does.  This is one of the reasons callout posts for some gods comparing them negatively to ‘nicer’ gods are kind of missing the point.

as someone who is partially a classicist, this is a better analysis of Greek mythology as a whole than 99.95% of the takes I’ve seen on here (and a substantial number of the takes I’ve seen in ~academia~)
