I found the villain for my cinematic universe. 

"Did't you die?" "I got better."

Were you killed? Sadly yes, but I lived!

Eventually they don't even believe it anymore. "I guess that's the last we'll be seeing of him--" "No... It's not."

Evil Kenny

would get boring/annoying fast imo

Jack beats Landor in a game of Monopoly and then Landor runs off screaming "I'll have my revenge!"

We need a Landor slice-of-life comedy! In all seriousness, he could become a cult hero like Doofenshmirtz

Or a Perry the Platypus / Doctor Doofinshmirtz relationship

Landor needs to try to recover an African flamingo in Texas that escaped from a zoo for medical experiments. Both of the Torrence couple are captured in Port Lavaca to be made into half-human half-flamingo monsters, but flamingo 492 attacks Landor and saves the Torrence couple.

= dr dofenshmertz

So basicaly Call of Ctulhu ttrpg?

@@parableCahoot249 Only if the name of the game were "Punisher Vs. Innsmouth."

I was thinking the same thing

SECOND ACT PLOT TWIST - Landor is obsessed with Anthony because he is secretly one of Landor's own superhuman creations, but doesn't know it himself - DUN DUN DUUUUN

​​@@lordhaku oh I like that

@@lordhaku Austin: Write that down! Write that down!

Are they twins? Is this the earliest polyandrous family in comics? What's the real story here?

@@Kitsaplorax That’s gold! The twin (Jack) is the real creation by Landor. He replaces Anthony in person and in the woman’s memory as well. Meanwhile the real Anthony wastes away in captivity for Landor to study to create the ultimate monster! It would take a trilogy to really pull this off but boy howdy would it be cool!

Yeah, when they introduced the couple, I expected Marcia to be the damsel in distress who has to be saved in every issue, but she's an active player in the story, doesn't mind getting her hands dirty and is a quick thinker as well. Also she has genuine chemistry with Anthony which is rare for those old comics, especially the shorter ones. Wouldn't have minded seeing those two get their own series where they perhaps could have faced off against other mad scientists of different flavors.

Yeah it's a 1930s W for female characters I'm impressed

they're actually polyamorous and the whole thing where Landor kidnaps Marcia and Anthony rescues her is actually just a sexual fetish game the three of them are playing together.

I mean, they just keep burning down or blowing up Landor's house.

You mean JACK?

Golden age comics are largely... Not amazing 😅 but they're so full of oddities and creativity that they make great creativity fuel

yoo i know you

They could be the same characters, and still have a great and completely different story.

Who knows, he may have been creating the perfect interior decorator when the Landors first encountered him.

Maybe someone in the 2020s invents a machine that brings obscure heroes and villains from the thirties to the modern day and they fight to restore the socialist American values of their time. Minus the racism of the 30s, obviously.

@@Bacopa68 interesting

Actually a good idea would be to use him in creating man-cat

@@mohammadalbader3538 I still haven't watched the original video where he talks about his own cinematic universe, so I don't really understand

Oh that's actually quite good.

Or started using his middle name instead of his first.

I dont get it

+.

That's what I thought as well!

Agreed

Terry the Husband!?

Are they normal? We know there's at least one government connection. There could be a complex and dark set of back stories.

I mean it is paying the medical bills.

It's great to see him still doing what he loves!

😢i pray he gets better.

Honestly, if I had a potentially fatal disease i’d double down on my hobbies as well

Agreed. That's why I often find MCU villains like Thanos, Ultron, Iron Monger etc ,so boring and uninteresting.

​@@markmolino679 Why though? You just find motivations for villians in general to be boring?

@@IkeOkerekeNews I think it's more that it's over done, and sometimes with the limited screen time available in a movie going to the trouble of establishing a backstory and motivation for the villain can get in the way of the actual story. And I mean, really, how many times can you sit through writers bending over backward to try and make the audience go "huh, maybe the villain was right" before it just becomes trite and the villains' motivations become ignorable? Like, sure sympathetic villains can be cool if it's done well, but when attempting it becomes the default the few that are actually good don't stand out as much as they could or should because we're all just so done with the concept. I'm not saying villains should be doing things "just because", but like, A, their motivations don't always actually need to be addressed at all for the story to make sense to the audience, WHY the villain does what they do is very rarely as important as WHAT they actually do, and B, greed, because they're a dick, jealousy, revenge, lust, a power grab, etc. are all perfectly valid reasons for your villain to do what they do, that take almost no time to establish, and fit easily within basically all of our worldviews. Also, whacky "for the evulz" villains are fun and we don't see enough of them outside of kids shows anymore, and even those are starting to bend toward the complex villains these days. Complex villains with interesting motivations and potential moral ambiguity can be really cool, especially when they are actually done well, but when they become the default, almost to the exclusion of all others, they become much less interesting overall, or boring as Mark Molino said.

⁠@@jacobbissey9311 Nah, the “for the evulz” villains still suck, just like pure good heroes suck. Pure evil villains can still have at least SOME depth. I’d argue that most classic Disney villains have more than one character trait. They don’t have to be relatable, just understandable. Any type of villain can be fucked up if you write them wrong, and pure evil villains will get old real fast if people don’t understand why they can work well.

@@cosmicspacething3474 There's a big difference between having no reasoning given and what I was talking about. A lot of the time the reasoning can be inferred from the plot, like greed is pretty obviously the motive if they are stealing valuables, or a drive for power and conquest for a conqueror. It doesn't need to be complicated and it doesn't need to be incomprehensible. I'm just getting kind of sick of every villain and his mother needing a tragic backstory or to be the hero of his own story. Like just let the bad guys be bad sometimes. I just want some variety in my villainy.

Landor: BEHOLD MY TERRIBLE MONSTER! TRMEBLE AT ITS MIGHT! *cowboy gorilla shoots the fuck out of the monster, killing it* Landor: I...ahh...fuck. Dammit I have to make a new one. You fucks.

Jack: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

"You'll be Jack forever... *Jack shit-!*" A perfectly dumb one liner

_war flashbacks_

Vengeance isn't sufficient?

Anger being the only reason he has left to live. Kinda like those stalkers of idols

Cool. Then he just creates more monsters or “Children” as he calls them

Well, there's the trick: is it even _set_ in Europe? Could be somewhere on the New Jersey coast for all I know.

Maybe Six Gun Gorilla?

​@@llewelynshingler2173Maybe! Or, heck, retcon Shock Gibson. It would be appropriate...

Maybe they can even make Anthony his own hero or reoccurring character in the long run.

It’s probably because both the first Landor comic and Rocky Horror take inspiration from the same source, that being the universal studios Frankenstein film.

And of course Anthony would be working alongside Marcia, the brawn to her brains, though as he's not a superhero he hasn't been able to defeat Landor himself, which is why they've called in the superheroes. And Anthony and Marcia are an ultimate loving power couple who care and respect each other absolutely, a true model of a loving, supportive, equitable relationship. Though they do still have their quibbles, as they are still human. For example, Anthony is absolutely hotheadedly outraged at what Landor did to Marcia. Marcia has to keep pulling him back and reminding him that a) going in mad is only gonna get him killed, and b) its _she_ who was the victim/survivor, and therefore it's _her_ decision what to do as a result; he doesn't get to speak/act on behalf of her as that's just another way to take away her agency in the situation. Marcia is particularly sensitive to any perceived removal of her agency given her trauma around losing said agency, being kidnapped and experimented on by Landor.

Dang it Austin, if you don't give us these characters, I might just start writing them myself! And I don't have time to write them myself! 😅

This is an excellent observation
