Yeah. The comic civil war had some of the best spin-offs, but the event itself ended up way too black and white. The movie version, I fell right at the knife's edge when it came to whose side I favoured.
Anarky in Arkham Origins. No idea if he's the same in the comics, and he still used shitty methods to achieve his goals, but the game does give him the space for a very long monologue explaining his position after he's defeated, if you're interested in what he's got to say. Other villains in the game would get fist in the face.
I've ran into my sister a few times. Hilariously one time she didn't notice my username and actually quoted my own comment back to me IRL because she thought it was funny.

Would you rather be in the wood with a bear rather than a woman because you fear she could rape you? No? Then what the fuck are you even talking about?
Flew under my radar. Gotta watch that. Which reminds me I still need to finish off Samurai Jack. I think I stopped somewhere in the last season of the old series and I want to watch that before I get to the new episodes, which I hear are excellent.
Of course, I'll probably want to finish off the few lingering pieces of new trek. And I gotta watch all of that before second season of Arcane comes out, since that will take priority as soon as it comes out. And...
This is a very wild guess, but I recall there being some resentment towards Polish immigrants in the UK on the basis of "they took our jerbs!", especially ones working in utilities. So my thought was that this could be a in a small way an attempt to counterbalance this characterisation. See? Polish repairmen are cool!
Of course, the whole thing was a long time ago, long before brexit, the girl tweeting this may not even be from the UK, etc etc. But there could be a reason along these lines, who knows?
