pardon my western superhero-centric perception of media but I love how Donbrothers does one thing that western superheroics struggled for literal years to make interesting: the "what if Superman was an asshole, actually"

and like, not to discredit the "an ubermensch becomes a fascist asshole because come on look at him" stuff because it can still be good, but it feels trite. Like every narrative like this struts its stuff like it's prescient as hell but barely any of them have anything to say that isn't already covered by Alan Moore

but then I have Momoi Tarou, an alien who, unable to fit into the human society because he's biologically conditioned to be a perfectionist "I'm simply being honest" asshole, doesn't become a superpowered supremacist. He's just... sad. And lonely. And wants to figure out what is this "happiness" he's missing out on. So he engages in mimicry, in servitude, in generally trying to do good things the way a book would describe "doing good things", but they don't feel good. Because things are done to be done, perfectly, honestly, without failure or deception. You have no dreams, Momoi Tarou, because you need to have aspirations, and for that, you need to be imperfect. And you're not. And it absolutely owns as a character thing much more than some Homelander or other
