unpopular opinions

Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

top level

with your characters’ unpopular and/or controversial opinion. Or share few of them at once. In person or via text. Prepare for disagreement.

to tell them why they're wrong, validate a kindred spirit, or just troll them for caring about such a silly-ass thing in the first place.

Until they start dragging others into their miserable self-determined fate. Side-kicks and predecessors and turning unwitting people into their stupid experimental goon-squad all in the name of protecting people.

[Sigh.]

[...Ah.]

Did that happen to someone you know?

I'm sorry.

It's actually pretty common where I come from.

Don't be.

Do you come from a superhero haven or something?

They almost sound like cult leaders, the way you describe them.

I guess you could call it that. Probably sugar-coating it though. Retirement Home for Failed Experiments might be more accurate

You're not wrong. Have you ever met a Batfan? Yikes.

I've never met one. Do you have horror stories to tell?

I suppose so. They're all just a little... culty. Is culty a word? I wanna say culty.

So, the type who'll shun and publicly shame you if you were to say, "I think Iron Man did it better"?

More like the type who'll run you out of town on a rail if you even suggest that perhaps putting our salvation in then hands of masked egomaniacs isn't a great idea.

That's quite extreme...

Then, aren't you putting yourself in danger right now?

What's the worst they can do to me?

Got nothing to lose?

Not a thing.

That's a little surprising.

[And, well, depressing; but he supposes he's the same way.]

People usually only conceal their faces when they have something to lose.

It's not for my benefit.

[Is he... scarred under there? Did a superhero do it?]

How do you see like that, anyway?

Eyeholes. Under the glasses.

Oh, that's smart!

Has anyone ever tried to take them from you?

Yes.
They're dead now.

And that's why they wrap all the way around.

[Is that a really deadpan joke, or did this guy actually...?]

You're not going to follow that up with a punchline about being the modern version of Medusa, by any chance, are you?

No. I don't have snakes for hair. Or hair for hair.

But do you have the whole, "anyone who looks at me dies" deal going on?

No. It's not pretty, but the sight of me won't kill you.

What've you got under there instead of hair for hair, then?

A whole lot of third degree burns and enough ionizing radiation to start the next Chernobyl.
