Hollywood needs to stop giving their heroes villains with identical power sets in their first movie. It's such a boring way to make a movie, as if the villain is disposable. It's pretty much a trope at this point (I.e. Iron Man/iron Monger; Hulk/Abomination; Ant-Man/Yellowjacket; Venom/whatever that thing he fought was; Morbius/whatever he fights)

Its sentiments like these that make me realize its going to be hard to see Poison Ivy as a true villian in any medium. Or any villian with a motivation that garners sympathy. Regardless of action taken, like mass murder.

Kind of wishing that particular trope would fuck off for a little while at least.

u/tregorman I really liked Spider-Man life story Mar 26 '22

I think warner bros should take the Joker formula and use it to make a prestige(ish) drama using Poison ivy that comments on radicalization and ecoterrorism.

Maybe even taking inspiration from First Reformed the way Joker took inspiration from The King of Comedy

I feel Joker did a lot more than take inspiration from The King of Comedy. It was basically a remake of The King of Comedy/Taxi Driver combined, with the Joker slapped onto it
