Competence Was Never Guaranteed in the Prophecies

As a kid, I was really upset that Bill Watterson wouldn't license Calvin & Hobbes so I could have plushies or so there would be a Saturday morning cartoon. Now, I realize his resistance is the reason we don't have a Calvin & Hobbes DreamWorks movie starring Chris Pratt.

i love people who love evil characters without feeling the need to defend them! i love it when people love their characters evil and nasty and vile in all the ways they can be, from the regular stuff to the taboo, and can confidently say it without having to defend their horrible, nasty, vile actions. i love people who don't feel the need to woobify their favourite characters. i love people who don't try to twist the bad deeds of a character into good deeds with wild leaps of logic just to have reason to like them. i love people who don't try to iron out all the bad deeds of their favourite characters to like them, essentially defanging them and their actions and making them boring. i love people who know their favourite characters are manipulative and self serving and who love them for that because it makes them just as complex as their good qualities. i love people who leave room for their favourite characters to be flawed and intricately complex in every way. i love people who are secure enough that they understand you do not have to vehemently defend the terrible actions of a character to love them. i love you all, you're so rad and interesting and smart.
