->''[[https://youtu.be/45a1NTArG-g BoJack]]''': My question is for Diane. Look, I'm sorry about all the stuff I said about you earlier. We can publish the book you wrote. You're obviously a better writer than I am, and I don't actually even really care what the world thinks about me anymore. I just hated reading that book because I hated feeling like that's how ''you'' saw me. Because I guess you know me better than anybody, and if you think that... Um, I- I guess my question is, do you... do you think it's too late for me? [[RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic I mean am-am-am]] I just doomed to be the person I am? The-the person in that book? It's not too late for me, is it? It's -- it's not too late -- Diane, I need you to tell me that it's not too late... I-I-I need you to tell me that I'm a good person. I know that [[ItsAllAboutMe I can be selfish and narcissistic]] and self-destructive, but [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold underneath all that, deep down, I'm a good person]], and I need you to tell me that I'm good... Diane... Tell me, ''please'', Diane. [[AintTooProudToBeg Tell me that I'm good]].''

->''Beware the man who would kill a god, the choir whispers, for he will never know peace, and he will drag the whole universe into war to keep him merry company along the way. He will stand before the throne, look the void in the eye and laugh. He cannot bear to live in a world where he is not sovereign of his own soul. He would rip his teeth into divine flesh and swallow the universe whole.''

-> ''Thanos, on the other hand, is a far more ambiguous symbol. If Darkseid stands in as a metaphor for a locus of multiple dangerous and terrifying grand historical concepts, Thanos embodies something far more intimate. Thanos is a surly adolescent, forever constrained by the limitations of his Oedipal obsessions, fixated on the concept of death and defined therefore by a strange mixture of curiosity and lust. Darkseid is a fantastic villain precisely because he is so resolutely petty - he rules an entire world with ironclad discipline, embodying everything fearful in political and ideological repression. Other people matter to him on a profound level because domination matters as a goal for Darkseid in and of itself. Conversely, Thanos could not care less about domination, although he is often styled as a "conqueror." He has shown little interest in ruling the universe. He is not a tyrant, he is - or at least, he envisions himself to be, a capital-R Romantic in the vein of a Shelley or a Keats. Even when he wielded the Infinity Gauntlet and was, for all intents and purposes, the literal ruler of the universe, he didn't give one iota's thought to ruling or dominating the untold trillions of lives under his control. Rather, he was concerned with his own private passions, a slave to his emotions, unable to transcend the limitations of his self-obsession. He cared about being able to assert his own will with impunity, to live without restrictions, and to gain recognition from the object of his erotic fixation.''

->''"I mean, he's not some common vampire. He's—I don't know ''what'' he is. A giant. A titan straddling good and evil, serving no master but his own considerable desires. ''And'' spiritual! Did you know he spent 150 years in a Tibetan monastery? (Which I guess explains all the desire.)"''

-> ''Towering Music/TypeONegative singer and bassist Peter Steele may be remembered as a brazenly sexual libertine, but just under his horny, brooding exterior was a sensitive lover who fell hard and suffered harder when it all fell apart. Steele's lyrics were often deeply personal and, even with his signature sense of sarcastic humor, acted as a window into what plagued the frontman: death, love, addiction, and betrayal.''

-> ''While workshopping ideas, though, the duo came to the realization that they didn't really see Elsa as a cartoonishly evil cryomancer who wanted to rain ice and death from the heavens, but rather a conflicted and emotionally troubled young woman with a terminal case of resting smug face.''
