MCU made Thanos about "resources and balance in the universe" and shit while in some comics, he just wanted to fuck a personification of death. The comics version is more ambitious because it makes him feel so alien that he is in love with a concept like death, like something so mystical. This stupid shit about balance is like the lamest "morally ambiguous character" example.

I remembering hearing that the Tau in Warhammer 40K are inspired by asian cultures and pop culture and then I remembered their faces. Because I just had a funny idea: You know people said some aliens in Star Wars were based off racist stereotypes? What if that happened with the Tau's? Only makes the "WH40K is a satire about fascism, you're not meant to idolize the space marines" shit even funnier in hindsight. Like "orcs are based on black people" all over again.

Was it Kamen Rider that had a show where they added a George Floyd "I can't breathe" reference (Which sounds like a /pol/ joke edit) and had people going "this series was always woke" when said show had messages about violence and "fighting back" when said series was more "pacifist" previously? Forgot (And being wrong about this maybe) but I also recall a Japanese mangaka saying Japan's idea of justice is just "Making things fair" while the American idea leans more into "punishing the bad guys". Maybe American cops are as brutal as they are because of something to do with American culture that even ACAB people have but won't admit. "Marvel's Punisher is just an edgy character anyway, you can't just kill everyone that has ever done something bad when there's systems that can make people change and-" same people fantasize on killing someone for the wrong opinions.

BTW I'm almost half asleep while writing this shit.

It's one of those "I wish someone else said it because it'd be kinda funny" things.
