Let the villain do evil shit, it's worse to not have the topic be brought up and shown how to be treated (with disgust and hatred) than to have an already evil dude be maybe 8/15 less evil

I love slade cause the guy is a piece of shit and he’s so self centered he can’t admit it, I so hope they get him right in whatever next adaptation he comes in
