He’s not Batman but kinda looks like him so #batman
And here’s #moonknight just cuz.
The ending ending is a funny btw, totally not real. - เกม
This character would've been the coolest thing ever when I was 14 and stupid.
"whats the size of your pp"
right? like, how is this cool?
That's how it is with lots of characters created by Mark Millar. He's just edgy for the sake of it sometimes
I agree... this writing isn't compelling... Nemesis is just an evil Mary Sue...
Especially when they brought him back as "Nemesis 2: Electric Boogaloo", they even used the same name and costume. How uncreative and lazy can you get?
Nemesis has the violence of moon knight, the brains of Batman, and the sense of humor like Deadpool. Also the twisted mind of the joker and I love it
No it’s poorly written garbage.
Edit: oh I get it, you’re all a bunch of consumers who consume product because it looks cool.
So real @@zzodysseuszz
@@zzodysseuszzAlways that one guy…
@@zzodysseuszz mister fun police over here
@@zanemob1429 It literally is though. The comic was complete dogshit.
Edit: a comic that is predictable and relies on depthless shock value is not fun. It’s boring and redundant. The comic was bad, use your brains for once. If your best arguments for this comic is “I don’t care if it’s poorly written, it’s fun!” Then it’s pretty clear that you don’t even really know why you like it other than that your standards are low. Mary sue edgelords aren’t appealing.
Edit: TH-cam deleted my comment even though all I said was “No it’s poorly written garbage.”
Edit finale: I think how childishly people are reacting to my comment kinda proves my point. This comic sucks, it’s only appealing to teenagers who don’t know how to handle scrutiny. Insulting me, belittling me, or rejecting my criticism because you don’t agree with me is just immature. Nobody said this comic needed to be complex, so stop with that terrible counter argument, the comic just needs to not be edgy garbage.
Nobody said this can’t be fun and I never said you can’t have fun, I’m saying this comic was so predictable and garbage that you could only find it fun if your standards are low. Stop misrepresenting me just because you can’t properly defend this comic.
Nemesis is when writers try too hard.
When the writers have never felt the touch of a woman.
That's Batman
fr
Well it is Mark Millar afterall
@@johnjuiceshipper4963 That's Mark Millar for you. The sweaty edgelord that he is.
"Everyone feels safe that the villain is locked up"
If only they knew they were in comics, where villains have 100% escape rates.
This prison can't stop me because I am a villain (plays classical music as everything that can go wrong goes wrong)
This comic sounds like it was written by some edgy high schooler.
Mark Miller seems to have that as a common theme in his writing.
And I love it. He's the sauce for the movies Wanted and Kingsmen. Read the Magic Order. You'll dig it.
It's written by mark Miller sooooooo
Yeah it was written by an edgy teenager
That’s Mark Millar for you. Although I feel he is definitely capable of writing more than just that, as he’s shown by having written Superman Red Son and Civil War.
This is not even the peak of millars edgyness lol
This dude would absolutely make any super hero drop their “no-kill” rule if he were to encounter any outside of his verse
nah Batman would find some excuse
nah Batman would take him to prison or to the psychiatric hospital.
Superman would put him in the phantom zone
Batman: *reads nemisis file*........JASON, rember the no kill rule? Yeah fuck thay merk this mf
@@user-fd2ce5qo5cBatman killed Owl Man and Ra'as Al Ghul
Nemesis feels a bit too 'magical'. He just seems to know how to do everything and is good at everything. Kinda makes the evil he does come off as more comedic. Anyone else get that?
Yeah
Yep
He's for sure a Gary Stu. Terrible writing.
Yeah a few more moments where he gets his ass kicked like when the cops captured him would’ve evened it out
Yes. He's a Mary Sue.
"By the age of 12 he was a gang lord" oh my god the try-hard starts early as hell here and only gets worse.
I find these sorts of comics hilarious because the police would not have arrested him, they would’ve killed him on the spot
Big plot hole with all ‘badass normal’ characters. No sane person with a gun would’ve let him live
“You call this resisting arrest? We call this a difficulty tweak!” *turns off body cam*
also they take him to jail and don't even remove his stupid little costume. like yo, you do realize he'd need to be processed before he can be taken to the slammer, right?
Honestly this should have been the end to the comic, that would have been HILARIOUS @@normalhuman1679
They were working for him so lowkey makes sense they didn't.
In an alternate universe he dawns a black version of the costume and goes by the name Man.
Aslume
and then he fights bone and asks him if there's a lore reason why bone needs venom
Tell me you’re a redditor without telling me you’re a redditor
and he fights the jonkler
@@oculuspi6975you mean why bone needs vonom?
Omnipotent Bugs bunny ass villain.
you snapped w this one
Honestly this didn’t even make me disturbed it just made me cringe at how utterly ridiculous it was. Sounds like a fanfic Batman people make in middle school
overrated af.
That's basically how Millar works...
Honestly its funny cringe for how bad and ridiculous nemesis is.
Yeah I kinda... zoned out after "his daughter got pregnant with his gay son by artificial insemination". Like... okay? He had a lab and a gynecologist implant sperm and... yeah no.
@@Abedeuss fr it this was even a bit of realistic he would've gotten SA'd and trafficked when he tried becoming a drug lord at goddamn 14.
genuinely some of the most juvenile edgelord shit ever written.
It was written by Mark Miller. He's actualy a good writer when he wants to be, belive it or not, but he somethimes flies off the handles and writes overly edgy stuff like this just to be edgy. This comic is still probably only like a mild 5/10 on his edgometer lol
@@zahard1732that's the thing with miller, he can write well but majority of the time he'll just go for shock content
It was edgy but im sure everyone could think of worse stuff. Theirs probably a limit to which the author could go before it couldn't get published. Like detailed instructions and depictions of rape or mass genocide or sexaul assault for example. Thats 100% more deplorable shit. I would consider this pretty tame and laughable bad at times tbh.
"oh oh OHH and then and THEN he artificially INSEMINATES the TEEN DAUGHTER of the police chief with her BROTHERS SEMEN!!!! But that's not all!!! If she gets an abortion she will never have KIDS again!!!! He made sure of that... somehow. Anyway, isnt that SO MESSED UP???? ...hey, hey where are you going?!"
@@austinvw1988nah bro that shit doesn’t go through anyone else’s head 😭😂 seek therapy
In an alternate universe, Nemesis is instead called Pretty Bad Chad who instead of physically and mentally scarring people does petty things to random people.
So Reverse-Flash?
🤓
So his counterpart isn't even a heroic person. Imagine being so evil to where your counterpart is still negative.
@@ClussyPomnixD
@@jujumaps2213I guess I’ll take it for the lesser of the two evils 🤔
-B-but Nemesis.
How did you made the president blow up a children's hospital with a tomato soup bomb that was spoiled 2 years ago while he was wearing a tu-tu vest?
-I paid someone.
inb4 it’s just violence for the sake of violence with a c-tier story tagged on.
Just finished the portion on Nemesis Pre-Reloaded!
It’s shit. Not the video itself, you did a decent job explaining things, but the comic itself. Only good part was the message about family and overcoming obstacles in regards to that. Nemesis sucks though.
Nemesis ReLoaded is much better than its original. Does that mean it’s good? No. Far from it.
But they seemingly didn’t take him that seriously this time around which is a net positive. Could’ve done without the parent plot though.
c-tier? You are giving the violent slop too much credit
How is Reloaded better? The edge feels so much worse to me and forced like Millar didn’t even like what he was writing
Nemesis sounds like what The Batman who laughs should have been.
It's up there more with Prometheus from DC, but agreed
what's your icon pic?
fucking A
Batman who laughs is a bad joke
@@ataraxia7439 artist is afrobull
this is exactly what it is though if I remember correctly Millar stated that he wanted to make Batman into a bad guy, he even paid a ton of money to get the licence to the name Nemesis
"Such a silly little goofball, getting up to tons of mischief" 😂
A dubious little creature getting up to mischief..
REHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE
Such a comedic little scalywag getting up to tons of wizardry
He’s just a silly little goose
A tad bit of tomfoolery even

Griffeth became one of the most infamous villains in storytelling by being a paragon, losing everything, and then as penance sent the entire world into a tailspin while betraying everyone who had ever known him and killing almost everyone on the planet.
Nemesis is a school shooter with indestructible plot armor.
Im sorry. Griffeth and nemesis' crimes can be compared, but the vast ocean of writing quality, discipline and excecution makes comparing them completely pointless. Except by ways of showing how to and how not to write pure evil.
He wasn't a paragon. Judeau saw in him the truth: he was willing to do anything to get his way, just faked a facade of decency and comradery. In the end, it was his own words towards Guts "that they are not equal, that an equal should chase their own dream" and "did you forget what I told you? You belong to me." and inability to deal with defeat (sabotaging his own career in Midland to sleep with the princess before getting wed, as a temper tantrum) that got him imprisoned and tortured. He LITERALLY TRIED TO STRANGLE GUTS when he came back to the Band of The Hawk, and stayed with them to rescue Griffith. Guts did not see that gesture for what it was, for he innocently thought "they were friends". Griffith blames Guts for all that went wrong. And in the end... OUT OF FUCKING SPITE, Griffith did what he always would have. Step on others to have his way. In short... ... willingly sacrifice everyone present in the event of the Eclipse, begining his transformation as the 5th member of the Godhand. Falconia being his ultimate goal, his own kingdom.
Griffith has only himself to blame. And he will never admit to his failings.
@@theguiltypaytheprice.4899 that's why Griffith is the GOAT (referring to how well he is written as a character, not him as a person lmao)
"Let my boy go he did no wrong"
The boy in question:
Real
Cause he’s gay?
"Free da homie___" yea nah
"Makes Griffith look like a good guy." This is a psycho with a gun shooting people. The other is a demon lord turning the world into hell on earth. Respect the ranks.
Yeah, this guy didnt betray his actual long time allies, or r word his only friend's girl, or cause a bunch of demons to invade the world r wording and torturing and killing everyone. Compared to Griffith he's like 10% as evil, and pretty poorly written just for shock value imo.
@@ZionswasdI agree. The writing is edgy trash.
@@Zionswasdtbh comparing a character that has been around for 30 years to a character that has only appeared in like 9 comic issues is kinda unfair.
@@warlockwaifuThe writing wasn't bad, it wasn't necessarily a masterpiece but it served it's purpose well enough.
@@daxie__3210 its totally fair, Griffith was planned out and was well written the whole way through, even in the first few chapters of berserk.
this honestly just sounds like it's edgy for the sake of being edgy
The next second that you do in real life, it’s not edgy because it call war crimes
Man went nuts when he turns white
Well thats one way to say it
This is perversely enjoyable, but, at the same time, Nemesis' ability to do everything he does stretches even the concept of deus ex machina.
THANK YOU! This dude just loves edgelord shit, he's not alone but lets not make it more fhan it is. Dude defies reality.
@@ombra711what is not to love in edgelord shit, I mean it's good every now and then. It is not like the MCU where it is force fed down our throat at least
How did he even get a nuke
The first Nemesis is atleast semi-believable at pulling off the things he did, the second one is just cringe.
you can't lie that it's kinda entertaining tho if you turn off all logic@@m8.614
I like how one of his biggest secrets is that his son is gay lmfao
It should be a secret.
@@idrinkmilk282nah lll be loud and gay or maybe I should become just like nemesis.
@@thealmighty6650 🤓
@@thealmighty6650Nah.
@@thealmighty6650 honestly it would be really cool to see a loud and gay as hell nemesis
I was initially disappointed when I heard the new Nemesis had an actual backstory since the mystery of the original was far more terrifying, but the sheer brutality of his cop crusade completely overshadows it. Jesus Christ
Exactly. Like am I supposed to feel bad for this guy because he lost his druggie parents? Because I fucking don't, he killed hundreds of innocent people who were actively trying to protect their city.
You're telling me not a *single* person in *ALL* of L.A. would go outside despite the warning of a nuke? You just know there'd be thousands of people willing to take that dare. The entire place would be glass within minuets.
Frank Castle would have gone full DOOM Slayer on this guy.
Honestly it would be a absolute interesting match, frank is good, not going to lie but nemesis literally dropped 97 guys pretty damm quick

Oh, I'd pay to see that face off.
@@hyperionofhyperness1883plot armor lol
One batch, two batch...
Sounds like a load of edge for the sake of edge.
An invincible villain who just does a bunch of nonsense written by a dude who is a fan of wanted and the joker but failed to understand the point of either of those comics.
its more like revenge porn for sadists wanting to see people suffer its so uncanny
I bet you enjoy Batman comics don’t you? Where he is also invincible
Guy is not a fan of Wanted. He is the one that wrote Wanted loll. Along with Kickass and other shit, Mark Millar is kinda crap
@@Lorenzo_Lucci bane disagrees
@@samuelr5414 kinda surprising considering wanted kinda deconstructed this sort of edgy villain protagonist by pointing out just how shitty they are and how stupid you would have to be to root for one...
But yeah millar is indeed inconsistently bad writer...
This is just so stupid. It's like it's written by an edgy 12 year old. There's no story to tell, no interesting characters, no good central theme, just "This guy is so messed up! Look how crazy he is!".
Characters like "nEmEsIs" are a plague to comic books.
gotta love how he does all of this for the sake of avenging his parents and then just lets one of the people responsible work with him in the end
those two old people where the ones who really killed the hitch hikers, the police were the ones that got his parents killed.
Maybe he was just always like that and looking for a Freudian excuse
@@10tailedbijuu Those people killing the hitchhikers were the reason his parents were killed by the police. It's just bad writing.
Somebody in Japan has thought of and drawn up something way worse.

Ok, now i am really curious, Is there really a manga much worse than Nemesis?
@@lorenzoilmagnifico2431in terms of sheer scale of atrocities with psychopathic reasoning? probably not but ive read some manga that really fucked me up way worse than nemesis or the boys that are basically just brainrot comics
@@cheeseyexoticbutterssauce?
@@ir0316 im probably desensitized to physically violent ones at this point but mangas like junji ito's stuff, freak island, hideout, or even some mainstream ones can get pretty violent at times like vinland saga, chainsaw man, AoT, et cetera but they are usually the cool/shock value type of violence most of the time
with junji's stuff being the exception as his are usually body horror/grotesque but still making you curious about what'll happen next
my personal pick goes to oyasumi punpun tho that one fucked me up badly but also made me appreciate my current circumstances
Mullet-Man Comics: "To me, Nemesis is the most vile fictional villain I've ever read, this guy will do anything- and I mean anything- to get his way...He is so completely irredeemable that at times while reading I felt like I had to take a break and go take a shower, and I haven't felt that much darkness in me that I had to like wash it away since I watched the movie Requiem for a Dream."
Also Mullet man Comics: NEMESIS IS BACK BAYBEEEEEEEE!
"You dont want to look, but you cant stop yourself"
Yep. Same way i feel about the joker.
There’s a lot of Villains just like him
@jamesvanitas name a few
its like Tcoaal you know its absolutely horrible but once you force yourself to watch the first 30 minutes of the game you become addicted
Makes griffeth look like a good guy is crazy
Nemesis was mewing in the thumbnail
Fuckin Mark Miller was a menace 😅
He really is. He's never written a good book, yet he's so famous.
You know about his pitch for a wonder woman comic?
@@KaijuGal-rb9eknope, feel free to fill us in
@@KaijuGal-rb9ekI am also morbidly curious.
@@infectedanimal9830okay I might be wrong on this one, I'm not sure if this is the comic the OP is talking about, but apparently Mark Millar pitched a story about s*xual assault, where the whole premise was Wonder Woman getting assaulted. For the whole comic. I'd normally think this was bullshit but considering the shit Millar has created I'd believe it. There is not a single man on earth who has a bigger hate boner for superhero media than Mark Millar
Nemesis definitely gives off the vibes of being an extreme evil version of Batman if he was ever bored and no longer had any purpose in life.🐱

What’s crazy is the artstyle looks a lot like the current Batman comics artstyle.
Big Jack Horner would literally run screaming from this guy.
This guy doesn't even hold a candle to Homelander.
It takes a lot for me to believe a villain is irredeemable. Sex crimes, genocide, that kind of stuff. He is one of few people, along side Doflamingo, Shao Tucker, Johan Liebert, Dio, Griffith, Mahito, Homelander, The Three Vs, The Gorosei, Satō, Hiro Shishigami, Sukuna, Micah Bell, AM, Konrad Curze, Skar King and Judge Holden that cannot be redeemed
To my experience, people doesn't really change much, but it's not real life so what the hell.
Anime is filled with war criminal edgelords such as Mahito or Orochimaru that are just irredeemable.

I remember seeing the cover and promotion of Nemesis in comics years ago but never knew it was this wild
The comics were released in 2023, not sure if you saw it but one of the lines that Nemesis says is about covid which means it was at least past 2020 and if you search it up they were all released in 2023
You should check out “Big Game” where all the characters from Mark Millars comics all collide.
Really great read
@@AngryStickBoi You're wrong and just googled the info.

Jeez, you would think this was written by the people who wrote The Boys comic
If they ever do an animated project that has nemesis in it I think nemesis should be played by the lego batman voice actor Will Arnett

He was excellently cast as the voice of Needles Kane in Twisted Metal
I think it should be the same guy who did Paxton Fettel in the F.E.A.R. games.
Broo this was dope I fully get the excitement of watching crazy villains smoke
Thank you for this. I've subscribed based on this.... and I'm now searching for Nemesis and Big Game for future reading. Also, it's so nice to hear a real voice instead of the terrible AI voiceovers that are everywher. Keep it up. 👍
This guy is horrifying. He’s kinda like Art the Clown but somehow worse.
Probably because of the sheer scale and reach of his crimes. Art is a sadistic serial killer but you've only got to worry about him if you're in the same town as him - this absolute freak is able to steal nukes and bring an entire city to its knees to get what he wants. In all likelihood just being on the same continent as him means you're in the crossfire of whatever crazed plan he has.
That's an achievement
Or the original Batman who Laughs.
But the comic just keeps doing the “I planned for that” thing. It’s clearly a parody of Batman, McGuyver, Bond, etc. that does those kinds of frustrating things that have no narrative flow.
Idk about worse but definitely on his level
It is pretty fun to have a “what if batman but super villain” character, however i feel like if a man successfully killed everyone in the pentagon and kidnapped the president then it wouldn’t be down to one detective to take him down. Literally everyone still alive in us military would converge on Nemesis and probably kill him on site. He’d have no chance of hiding.
Yeah, whenever a character like this is locked up I give up on the story. It's the same reason why I don't like the stories where The Joker is an absolute terrorist, gets locked up, and then is released again, dude would've been killed a long time ago

Its a black guy bruh😂 they have high testosterone
nah bro when i heard 5 girth i was like oh hell no that cant even feel good for no girl😭😭
Basically his girth is a flaccid turned on it's side, and the crazy part is a light squeeze would extend the length a few extra inches...
Not to mention the amount of blood needed for such a girth would likely make a normal person faint every time they got into the mood.

Even the Joker would go “okay, that’s too far”
I remember coming across Nemesis years ago around the time the movie Kick-Ass came out. I believe they are under the same publisher Icon Comics. I was intrigued by the cover so I decided to read it. Needless to say, I was quite disturbed.
Nemesis was marketed as being Batman just out of control.
“What if Batman was the Joker” was a tagline before DC put a stop to it apparently
I mean he's not worse than Griffith because Griffith actually has a character, what he does actually has impact, Nemesis might as well just be someone screaming at the top of their lungs, yeah it's loud and people will pay attention but there is no art to it, it's begging for attention.
Well put. Yeah this guy on paper is more evil than guys like Griffith or even Johan, but it means nothing because he’s not even really a character. It’s just the author trying to say “See! MY bad guy is the evil-est!!”
@@specialknees6798 The point of the video wasn't really about how he is as a character, nor was it about the depth of said character, the point was literally that he is just evil, and yeah he is, he literally does a majority of this for mostly no reason and thats about it, no remorse or care, he does it to do it because he can, the lack of humanity from a single HUMAN BEING who just has a lot of money, and then spends it to hurt, murder, or ruin peoples lives constantly is why i'd say he's far more evil, he literally has everything a person could want and need, could have literally anything money can buy and chose to use it to ruin lives, not only is he incredibly sadistic but but what he does is downright disturbing, especially when you take into account in the original story he does it out of boredom. thats it. no sad backstory or events that set him on a path of evil or anything.
Nemesis is about on the level of a slasher movie bad guy. Have him not say anything like Michael or Jason and I'd understand him about the same

I like that story a lot but i hope to god that Amazon doesn't adapt it into a animated series something, I need people to stop shitting on superman
But Nemesis is a real piece of shiite 💩.. don't know if I love that, based on it's good character writing.. irredeemable as good as this story ?
@@triplehelix3207 bro you just made such a very good point that I didn’t even realize, both Invincible and The Boys have a powerful yet evil version of Superman and Amazon owns both of them. I’m ngl I feel kinda slow now but I completely feel you on some of the comparisons to Superman fr
@@kiaralee7667 yeah, its obnoxious
@@triplehelix3207you know what would be a unique and original idea Hollywood? How about you give us a good superman. Even the superman in the last few DC movies was a sad edgy boi.

Is he stupid?
"Oh shit I'm covered in an old person." 💀💀💀
good video and all but could use some background music, like a gentle piano or smth
"He makes Griffith look like a good guy" is such an apt descriptor for how dark a story can be
He is that bad?
@@moinmahmud6265no, it's a hyperbole
@@moinmahmud6265 (In my opinion) No, but he is very very very bad.
nah, griffith still tops this. but It is still a monster @@moinmahmud6265
Yeah no, that's very innacuratte, Griffith is def worse
I liked the first half of this. I really like how he was just evil to be evil and was pretending to be someone else. Then they have it where nemesis actually has rhyme and reason which is honestly lame. Him being random and insane is honestly really enjoyable and leaving you disconnected from Nemesis. I don't really like him having a reason to his action because it makes you get it. It's like giving a back story to frieza
I kind of agree, but ultimately the second version isn't really divorced from being so evil so as to thoroughly indicate he is evil for evil's sake. I mean, nothing about his backstory ultimately justifies anything he does. Just rationalizes why he chose to become this way. At least it's not apologetics.
@AlastairCreed he's doing it for his parent the first half was better.
His rhyme and reason for being a villain originally is just sheer boredom. That’s so boring. Literally. He goes thru all this effort for years just because he’s bored? That’s like if Batman became Batman because “I was a bored rich guy”
But I respect your opinion. I just personally think it’s very lazy writing.
Even if there's reason behind it, the shit he does is still pretty random & violent. Look at the pool scene or the suicide bomber, art heist, nuke lie detector, he's still just as unpredictable, but the original viel is the legitimate reason. Personally, his OG reason could be seen as boring (a bored rich guy who kills people for fun has been done to death) & sure revenge for the death of parents isn't much more original, but it still doesn't take away all the wacky shit he did w/ that reason.
@chill3282 I just like the Mystery behind him like how he really is just like the joker .
Bro was mewing in the thumbnail 💀
Nemesis reminds me of a villain that should have extremely dramatic classical music during his explanations of his plots and their occurrence.
aint no way you said this man worse than griffith
😂😂agreed
Nah Griffith may be bad but he is still fairly reasonable for a complete narcissist driven by a lust for ultimate power.
Even with the most recent additions to the manga Griffith has yet to do anything this bad directly, most of the carnage is done by the monsters who did the same thought the series (only they became more prominent when the world order began to collapse).
@flackstar007 The rape of casca.
bro forgor what he did to casca 💀
@@flackstar007
Griffith being easier to reason with makes him a better villain. Its so easy just to create an absolute monster without any redeeming qualities. A truly evil person is one who is hard to hate despite all his deeds.
Man, Nemesis makes Reverse-Flash and Blake Manta look like amateurs when it comes to hating.
Blake Manta probably hangs out with Joe Kerr and Ping Nguyen
Nemesis' violence tolerance makes The Joker, Omni-Man, The Punisher, Moon Knight and Jason Todd look like Sesame Street.
@@poweroffriendship2.0 I don't know about omni man. Dude murdered an entire civilization and didn't feel anything.
@@poweroffriendship2.0tf you mean omni man?
He committed mass genocide to prove a point to his kid.
Theres no comparison here
They're more petty than anything at their core.
Spider-Man and Batman would have a exception to the no kill rule
This guy isn't even nuts. He's cashews.
This character reminds me of when kids take a bunch of candy or soda and mix it up thinking it'll be the best soda ever. Having a character have flaws, defects, and character progression makes characters good. Not, this shock factor, uncreative story about how many villains these guys can combine into one character and everyone just goes "ooh wow he's so scary and badass." Shock value is stale, and overused by people who lack imagination. Most good stories have very basic boring plots on paper, but their characters, world building and their use of emotion is what sets them apart. For example, it really is not hard for anyone to imagine something more sinister than Nemesis by just combining ideas of evil into a character. Anyways, watched the whole video, thought it was very well done! keep it up. ♥
this feels like someone looked at the "the boys" comic and thought it was the coolest shit ever
Honestly was a fun listen but not something I’ll remember a week from now
Exactly, he's like a teenage mary-sue of an edgy teenager's supervillain oc. We've all been there, to be fair, but like how old is Mark Millar? But yes, this was a nice video that spared me the trouble of skimming such a lame comic.
One dimensional characters dont immediately mean a bad story tho. Jonathan Joestar was written as pure good with dio written as pure evil, and the story itself wasn't bad.
That's a good point. However, these Nemesis stories just seem to be about "isn't humanity fucked up and isn't it satisfying to revel in that?" I'd rather take stories of simplistic triumph of heroism like Jojo's part 1 over that any day.@@Storiaron
"Nemesis"? Nah! "Anti-man"!

Are you stupid?
I was like "how bad can this dude be" then you hit me with that requiem for a dream refference...
If batman met him he would start walking to him then robin says what about the no kill rule “nah fuck that”
So basically, he's the typical Marc Millar edgelord character?
Yeah, the guy responsible for Wanted lol Nothing new.
I legit always thought that Nemesis was canonically an alternative version of Batman.
Mostly cause I always mix in my head Frank Miller with Mark Millar.
And because I remember seeing a title many years ago analyzing the comic that said "If the Joker were Batman" and I took it literally.
It's easy to remember:
Frank, Miller is spelled with E = good writer
Mark, Millar is spelled with A = edgelord who desperately needs an editor to supervise him.
Thankfully he's not a hack like Garth Ennis despite two of them being compared often
I get Frank Miller mixed up with Kaz Miller.
There was a recent comic called "The Joker Who Stopped Laughing" or something where Batman slipped and broke his neck, and it caused Joker to lapse off into a normal albeit depressed wage worker by day and a messed-up Batman by night. Kind of the inverse of the edge overload that is Batman Who Laughs.
when you burped with the baby image spitting... i just wanted you to know that it indeed made me chuckle. Have a nice day.
The Requiem reference was actually great. I know exactly what you mean because I’m 40 and I still remember how I felt when I was watching Requiem many years ago when it premiered.
