#guy badman

[slowbrew]

Got to introduce my new side character in game today. Meet Guy Badman, a lycan hunter seeking revenge for the loss of his son.

[starleska]

have any of you ever heard of 'Badman', a short-lived antagonist of the Super Richie/Richie Rich comics? 😂💖 he's just a horrible prankster who lives to cause chaos, Robbie Rotten-style!! we love to see it 🔥🔥 i found about him through a fabulous book called 'The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains' - a compendium of terrible, absurd, and absolutely baffling comic book baddies throughout history!! i cannot believe this guy was only in three issues 🙈

[ask-the-badman]

Y'all are too good to me... I know I don' use this phrase a lot, but...

Thank you.

-Bad Man Johnny.

i love how Everyone agreed on 'durge' like the game is all oooo the Dark Urge so gloom and mysterious name what horrors live in this wretched mind...... and then we all went "this is my friend derj :)"

[johns-prince]

I told him: “You know you love your own company. Even Cyn says you go days without speaking to her. She feels a million miles away from you.” John replied: “Ah, but she’s not, is she. She’s in the kitchen putting the kettle on.”

—Tony Barrow, Beatles Book Monthly Magazine, No. 149 (Sept. 1988) [×]

¶

There’s one line in the lyric I don’t really mean: “Well knowing you / You’d probably laugh and say / That we were worlds apart”. I’m playing to the more cynical side of John, but I don’t think it’s true that we were so distant. 

—Paul reads from his new book, The Lyrics (2021). [×]

¶

“I’m kind of expected to say, ‘[John] was a saint, he was always a saint, I remember him as a saint’, but it would be a lie. He was one great guy and part of his greatness was that he wasn’t a saint. He was a great guy but he was pretty sacrilegious. He was pretty up front about it. But it was half the fun.”

—Paul McCartney (c. 1984) in The Dream Is Over: Off The Record 2 by Keith Badman [×]

¶

“John is neither a saint, nor is he a sinner. He was just human, like the rest of us.”

—Cynthia Lennon, answering the question “John Lennon: saint or sinner?” The Independent, July 1999 [×]

¶

“Seeing Lennon focus on Ono rather than him[Paul] was as devastating as it would have been for Cynthia Lennon to witness the couple making love.”

—Peter Dogget, You Never Give Me Your Money. [×]

¶

“Then also we were like married, so you got the bitterness. It’s not a woman scorned this time, it’s two men scorned — probably even worse. And I had to make way for Yoko. My relationship with John could not have remained as it was and Yoko feel secure.”

— Paul McCartney, Interview by Duncan Fallowell in the Chicago Tribune, October 14th, 1984 [×]

¶

“Apart from giving me the courage to break out of my stockbroker belt... Yoko also gave me the inner strength to look more closely at my other marriage. My real marriage. To The Beatles, which was more stifling than my domestic life. Although I had thought of it often enough, I lacked the guts to make the break earlier.”

—Skywriting By Word Of Mouth by John Lennon (pg. 17) [x]

¶

“I still think at the back of John’s mind was this fascination of wanting to get back with the first girlfriend, if you like, and that was to get back with Paul, who he had so much history with.”

—Tony Barrow, The Beatles’ press officer, on the Lennon/McCartney reunion that was never to be [×]

¶

“I mean, I think really what it was, really all that happened was that John fell in love. With Yoko. And so, with such a powerful alliance like that, it was difficult for him to still be seeing me. It was as if I was another girlfriend, almost. Our relationship was a strong relationship. And if he was to start a new relationship, he had to put this other one away. And I understood that. I mean, I couldn’t stand in the way of someone who’d fallen in love. You can’t say, “Who’s this?” You can’t really do that. If I was a girl, maybe I could go out and…”

—April 3rd?, 1985 (Soho Square, London): Paul talks on German television show exclusive about the breakup of the Beatles and his personal breakup with John. [x]

¶

“But Paul was his own man and not afraid of John. In fact, musically and personally, the two were beginning to go in separate directions so perhaps Paul’s visit to me was also a statement to John.”

—Cynthia Lennon, John [×]

¶

“Paul, who believed strongly in the family and in family values, told me that he felt as if it was the Beatles themselves who were heading for divorce, not just John and Cynthia.”

—Tony Bramwell, Magical Mystery Tours [×]

I wanted to end this post with a quote from Cynthia, whether it was from a book or was an answer to a question, about how she simply misses lying in bed with John, and just the two of them talking. This quote from her book John [x] is relevant, but unfortunately I couldn't find the exact quote I wanted.

To accompany the sentiment from John's first wife though, is this quote:

“If John Lennon could come back for a day, how would you spend it with him?” “In bed.”

—Paul McCartney answers questions for Q magazine, 1998 [x]

Ok so I was drawing shadowy Rando M. Guy without his hat, and realized that he has the same hairstyle as Saul Goodman so now to me he just looks like a dark version of Saul

…Saul Badman

[allseeinganalyst]

The Dragon Ball Vegeta Valentine’s Day things made me remember the bit in the dub that makes me laugh non stop — right before he gets the “Badman” shirt and he gets out of the shower and he demands Bulma brings him a “Drying Cloth”.

“Drying Cloth” — I can’t fucking breathe. What was the logic? “Oh he’s an evil space alien so he wouldn’t just say “towel”” yeah no of course he calls it a fucking “drying cloth”.

You guys do not understand how much this just gets me, I laugh every single time. I refuse to believe he ever stopped calling them that. Bulma asks if he wants a towel one day and he’s like “???”

ballad of a badman ♱ steve harrington (reader is called ace!)

You don't even have it in you to turn on the stereo to fill the time.

You sit and suffer in the silence of your car. It smells like cherries and cigarettes, never your cigarettes. You don’t smoke. Bad for you. He doesn’t care, especially when you tell him how bad it is. He’s here for a fun time, not a long time.

You eyes watch her wildly as she races across the student lot, a single hand tight around her bag strap. She yanks the passenger door open to her mother's car meaner than the town’s meanest storms.

She disappears in a flash, like she hadn’t even been there in the first place.

She hadn’t been an alive thought in your guys minds during the summer, and as the last few weeks hit—she was everywhere. All consuming. It made you want to wail. She was killing you without even touching you.

You sink into the driver seat more, chin touching your chest as you frown. The neckline of your light grey tank top tickles your chin, and suddenly the jean jacket you wear feels too small. Even your jeans feel ugly against your soft skin, too tight and itchy. You could cry.

Guilt is the ugliest thing you've eaten since you were a kid.

Your passenger door is pulled open. You don't look to see who it is. It's obvious. It always is.

That’s why the door is unlocked.

“Hey,” he says as he slides into the passenger seat. His voice is cooled and calm. Always is. He talks with such a carefulness around you it makes you want to yank on his hair and ask him to yell at your for once.

“Hi, Steve.” You say it even softer than his voice could ever go. You’re quiet. He hums and his hands disappears under your hair and cups the back of your neck. He squeezes gently. Like he always does.

He leans over the middle of your car, his lips pressing an all too soft kiss to your temple. As he pulls always his lips brush the edge of your eyebrow. You want to cry and grin like the Cheshire Cat.

He’s so sick. This boy. This teenage god.

You haven’t looked at him, he notices.

He pulls on your glove department, his pack of cigarettes hide in there. He pulls a cigarette from the box and lights it. “You alright?”

You cut right to the point, before you get the chance to light your car on fire with his lighter. “What’s the matter with Nancy?” Steve stiffens automatically at your question. God, he’s so mean.

“Why you askin’? She say something to you? You know you were here first.” The words use to bring you comfort, now they just make you sad.

You finally look over at him. He’s never seen this look on your face before. Like you’ve killed someone and they’ve killed you just the same. “Steve, what are we doing? This is so mean.”

He stares, smoke lingering around his face. You can smell it, it’s so bad.

He doesn’t get why this is bothering you now, it’s been months. It’s been months. And it has been bothering you for months, but you’re always so scared to say anything to him—ever.

You wished he’d open up a damn window.

He doesn’t say anything. You’re not sure he has anything to say. Or maybe he’s trying to think of something to calm you down. To reassure you everything is good, like he always does.

But nothing is ever good when a boy strings along two girls.

“It was just a fight. She doesn’t know anything.” That doesn’t make you feel better and quite frankly, you know he’s lying.

You look away from him, your shoulders cave into yourself even more. “Why’d you have to fall in love with her? Wasn’t what we were doing just enough for you? Steve, nothing ever seems enough for you..”

He almost crushes the cigarette between his teeth. He finally opens the fucking door and flicks it out, stomping it out with his all too white shoes. He looks back at you, leg still out the open door. “You’re serious, right now?”

You eyes glaze over and your head stings. You look over at him, lips parted. His attitude isn’t a shock. “You can’t blame me, Steve. This is awful. It isn’t fair, to anyone, but you.”

His jaw clenches and you can’t remember the last time you two got into a fight. It must’ve been in freshman year. He’s your best friend, you guys don’t fight. Maybe you would more if you spoke your mind when you wanted.

“She’s a junior. We’re seniors. She’ll be an afterthought, soon.” Oh, my god…

You glare at him now. “Is that suppose to make things better? Steve, she likes you.”

His grip is tight on the door. His eyes look lost for the first time in awhile. “You like me.” It’s all he says.

You can’t say anything. You don’t know what to say. Your lips part but nothing comes out so they close and you don’t realize it but tears slip down your cheekbones. He watches them.

“You liking me, is enough. It’s more than enough.” He leans back towards you, his thumb dragging too roughly against your skin as he rids you of tears. “I’ll see you tomorrow morning, Ace.” He squeezes your chin, a little too roughly. The nickname makes your throat close up. He’s been calling you that forever.

He’s gone and you don’t even know what the point of anything was.

i'll never forget my first pride experience. i was a baby trans going to pride for the first time, wearing a badman button up and trans socks and carrying a little trans flag, i was probably like 18. and then this older trans guy, shirtless with top surgery scars and a trans flag painted on his chest, walks up to me with open arms like "omg are you trans too??? thats so awesome!!" and gives me a hug and takes a selfie with me

it made me feel so seen and loved and i appreciate that guy to this day

Heath’s Ultimate Horror Recs; A MASTERPOST.

We’ll start off with my letterboxd top four (in no true order)

1. The Thing (1982)

First of all, it is unanimously agreed that the only way this movie could have been improved would be if Kurt Russel had worn a crop top that said “baby slut”. This movie has everything and is one of the (if not the original) Imposter movies. It takes place in the arctic, and is a little bit creature, gore, and psychological horror. It’s smart and it's fun! Not too scary, but a good time for sure.

2. Cabin in the Woods (2011)

Please ignore that Joss Whedon made this as it is, unfortunately, INCREDIBLY fun. Like so much fucking fun. It’s a movie that completely deconstructs horror movie tropes, and I don’t mean that in a pretentious not-like-the-other-movies way. It literally deconstructs them, and has the most ridiculous half-twist at the end that really just ties it all together. If you like final girls, and every possible horror movie villain you could get your hands on, this is the movie for you. If you don’t already know the plot, go in blind.

3. Possession (1981)

NOBODY, NOBODY, NOBODYYYYYYYY. This movie personifies what it feels like to have a Mitski-induced breakdown. I believe it was banned for a time in much of Europe upon release for going too hard. It’s not really like “demon on the ceiling. gotta call the exorcist” and more like “go stupid go crazy”. Gets More and More as it goes on. Bonus points for Sam Neill, an underrated horror guy. Foreign Film. 10/10.

4. Jennifer’s Body (2009)

Literally ahead of its time. Girls kiss girls kiss boys kill boys kill girls. Yeah. I’m using the word- it’s camp TO ME. Again, not particularly scary (that’s what the next section is for) but it is very fun and also it is a romantic tragedy. I don’t know what else to say.

SUPER HONORABLE MENTIONS (that might be mentioned in later categories):

Nope (2022)

Candyman (1992)

Alien (1979)

Okay. Now the ones that really got me good (that are rec’able)

1. Hereditary

Did I like the plot of this movie? No. Did I like this movie? No. Did I leave the theater wanting to crawl out of my skin and throw said skin into the trash with the popcorn? Yes. Rancid vibes, and for that it gets #1. Personally, it hit all my marks for going NOPE. -1000/10. (Really though, I thought the plot was dumb but my god was this movie the literal definition of horrific.)

2. The Descent (2005)

I watched this movie at FAR too young of an age. I was like 8. My mom showed it to me because she thought it was cool. It made me scared of the dark for the next decade of my life. I’m a bit desensitized to horror at this point so I didn’t find it that scary upon rewatch. However, it’s my favorite combo of creature, proper build up, character-driven, and action-y. Also it’s a literal blood bath. :^)

3. 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

This movie is not a classic horror, but it did fill me with immense dread and shock and it has a left a lasting impression on me. You are a girl who gets in a car crash and wakes up in a bunker with John Badman (?) and another guy and he’s telling you the world has ended outside and that if you were to leave you’d immediately die. Except there’s no way to know if he’s telling the truth. I remember my body physically hurting from the stress after watching this for the first time.

4. It (2017)

I’m not above the clown movie. Listen, was it cosmically horrific? No! But it did have a bunch of good scares and it’s honestly one of my favorite ensemble cast movies to have ever been made. The sequel can die in a dumpster fire though. I still squirm in my seat for a few scenes even though I know Mr. Skarsgard is gonna pop out.

Conceptual Absolute Fuckin’ Bangers ( and/or amazing visuals)

1. A Quiet Place (2018)

I held my breath the entire movie, and so did the rest of the theater because it pulls you in so well. Bawled my eyes out. Amazing story, and it keeps your nerves frayed the entire time.

2. Candyman (1992)

My most favoritest slasher. Actually perhaps the only slasher I will recommend. Underhyped, a story less told and it just feels different in a nice way. It has everything, including the Looks.

3. Crimson Peak (2015)

High drama, and arguably the prettiest visuals I’ve ever seen. Definitely a vibe-based movie and not for everyone. Guillermo Del Toro at his prettiest. I would read the content warnings though, because the plot is also not for everyone.

4. Queen of the Damned (2002)

I’ll use the word again. Camp. This movie almost made me become a Vampire Person (notorious werewolf person). It’s ridiculous and bad but its also good and a vibe and everyone is very hot so what’s not to love.

5. Nope (2022)

MY BABY MY BAAAAAAAAAABY MY BAAABBY MY BABBBYYY MY BABY. Zero criticism, it’s just not on my top four horror list because I don’t think it’s a horror. I think its a sci-fi suspense action mystery masterpiece with horror as an undertone. Literally best movie of the decade.

6. Re-Animator (1985)

Cult classic. And a classic example of they made it so subtext gay that now its just text gay. Ridiculous. Body horror abound. 10/10.

7. Alien (1979)

Can you say anything bad about this movie? No. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it, but it’s very good. And of course the Face Huggers and Chest Bursters can never get enough of their dues for being icons.

8. The Ritual (2017)

Please just trust me. If you like what Nope did with The Design, you might like this movie. Because ohhhh ohhhh The Design. The first two-thirds I quite enjoy, the last third loses me a bit but then I really like the last scene. But yeah. The Design. Also spooky and fun. And it’s on netflix! Nice!

Here for a fun time, not a smart or “good” time!

1. Pitch Black (2000)

Yes, I am recc’ing a movie that stars Vin Diesel. I like Riddick. Die mad about it. But I also like this movie a lot! It’s bad in a 2000s sci-fi kinda way. But it commits to what it does and I like the characters. Shoot me. Nice blend of horror and action.

2. Tremors (1990)

Heath Lore: for like four years in a row I made my friends watch this on my birthday. It’s so very dumb and also so very fun. And. Gay cowboys. Yeehaw. (There are two sequels made prior to like 2008, and I have also watched those. They are even more dumb.)

3. Poltergeist (1982)

My mom also showed me this movie when I was about 6 or so. Traumatized me for life. I was a little bit paranoid about EVERYTHING. I’m re-watching for the first time in a long time this year, but honestly this movie goes so hard and for what. To be rated PG? That’s how my mom convinced me to watch it.

4. Brain Damage (1988)

gonna be honest. went full monkey brain during this one. main character...sexy. this concludes my thought process. it’s very dumb and bad, and i would probably read the trigger warnings before you watch it.

5. The Evil Dead (franchise)

So much happening, I would argue none of it “good”. Fun time.

6. The People Under the Stairs (1991)

Spoiler alert: there are people under the stairs. A movie where I kept yelling WHAT?! W H A T?! Amazing. 10/10.

Modern Horror Gems (not Oscar Worthy)

1. The Conjuring (2013)

I really like this movie. It’s not perfect and it’s not innovative, but I think it was well made and I think the scares are good. Also Ed and Lorraine Warren (movie versions, not the real people) are relationship goals for real.

2. Shutter Island (2010)

There is definitely a lot happening in this movie. Psychological. Story driven. I did like it though.

3. Revenge (2017)

Action, thriller, horror. Woman stuck with a group of bad men in the middle of the desert. Woman seeks Revenge with a capital R. French film, very violent.

Final category: Movies that make you go Huh?!

1. Titane (2021)

Such a weird fucking movie. So fucking weird. So fucking weird. French film.

2. Eraserhead

I discovered my love for brown noise through this movie and fell asleep within thirty minutes. I liked it quite a bit though, I think, when I finished it the next day.

OK THAT’S ALL FOR NOW. THANK YOU FOR READING <3

imagine working at a clothing store and the fuckin prince of all saiyans, guy who like a year ago tried to destroy the earth, walks in and looks around and he goes "I want to buy the BADMAN shirt. Now."

[loiterer87]

...So I saw Across The Spider-Verse about a week or so ago... And I'm back on the bandwagon (which I never really left tbh) Anyway, here's my Spidersona vs. The Shocker! Who is to quote Seth from From Dusk 'Til Dawn, "A professional fucking thief.". Was wanting to have a go at the Shocker for a while and as I read up on the character, I dug the fact that is just a professional bank robber. Much more refreshing villainous motivation than, "I badman, hate good guy. Want revenge on him all the time!" He pulls jobs for cash, refuses to get involved with lunatic schemes without financial compensation and has no interest in pursuing revenge if he's caught by either the cops or superheroes. Also doesn't strike me as a guy who'd kill people even if it's convenient. Murder raps get more jail time than armed robbery, so why give them more reason to keep you locked up?

[fantasyinvader]

I really like with what TSA and NMH3 did with Henry.

When we first found out who Henry was, he was meant to be the "cool, handsome foil who just happened to be (Travis's) twin brother" who also had an Irish accent. In NMH1, Travis was meant to be a loser, someone whose nerdy hobbies have overtaken his life as a form of escapism. But Travis was made to face the memory of his ex-girlfriend/half-sister murdering his parents, realizing how much of a scumbag his father actually was, and come to realize there is no exit from the life of an assassin.

Travis grew up in NMH2, he began to see other assassins as people and realized how messed up the UAA's ranking fights actually were once he returned to them to avenge his best friend's murder. Travis had to face the fact that he ruined the lives of others in order to get his revenge on Jeane, and this development stuck in TSA where he ultimately befriended Badman and helped him bring Bad Girl back to life. We also learned he married Sylvia and had two kids, but he still has his nerdy interests. It wasn't his hobbies that was the problem (though his taste in anime may be a problem of it's own), but how he used those hobbies to run away from the real world.

Now, once again back in the Garden of Madn…Insanity, he's fighting aliens to save the world (albeit aliens manipulated by the douche Travis punched in TSA).

Meanwhile, Henry came to realize through watching Thor (and possibly due to brainwashing) he was running away from his own past. His entire "cool, handsome foil" persona was him running away from his own past, even faking an Irish accent and claiming to have standards. He was the type of guy you'd expect to play in such an action game, unlike the Dante-wannabe who dies in the intro, except actually cool. And when he faced that past, he broke. He went from a friendly rival who happened to be Travis's twin, despite Travis causing him to divorce Sylvia, to an enemy who would kill Travis in the future. Adding to this, he dropped the accent and began styling his hair in a way that invokes Travis's haircut. Even throws on shades on top of it. Henry has went from being a foil, a reflection of what Travis could have been, to a dark mirror of who Travis could have become. He becomes the greater threat Travis goes off to face with his family and friends at the end of NMH3 (while Henry has his clone army), the series ending on this conflict ending on uncertainty much like the original game did but now Travis isn't alone and is far more of a hero than he was in the first game.

#112 - superhero name

Strong Bad Email #29

Date: May 27, 2002

Enter a character that I'm honestly somewhat surprised we don't see more of, Strong Badman!

Alright, that's not entirely true, I can kinda understand why this didn't become a recurring thing, but it's still surprising that besides this email, Strong Badman has like... maybe 1 or 2 more major appearances.

Hell, even then, even this email doesn't call much attention to Strong Badman himself. It's mainly focused on making fun of the guy who sent this email's name, Stiny, which is admittedly pretty justified.

Quote: STINY! GET ME A DANISH!!
