I told a Marvel focus group it would be fine with everyone if Spider-Man didn’t feel guilty about skimming a few grand off of a bank robbery every now and then so he could afford things like a new phone and DoorDash. They told me I understood Spider-Man better than anybody.
The Reflecting Pool is a perfect metaphor for the Trump administration:
- Ignore experts and science
- Overspend
- Declare early, historic victory
- "THE LEFT HATE THIS"
- Ends in total failure
- Unfounded conspiracies about sabotage
- MAGA pretends it doesn't actually matter
