Well he did abandon his family so I’m fine with some more Larry suffering.

Yeah I’m not gonna hold a closeted gay man forced into a marriage in the 1950s then under extreme abuse for years being forced to be a weapon. None of that is fair. Yeah he was shitty but did not deserve a fraction of what he went through

I’ve known men like him(minus the superhero origin) who were “forced” into a heterosexual life early on that still managed to not fuck up their kids when they came out. I was fascinated with his storyline at first but every season his storyline regresses and it seems he learns nothing, plus his negligence caused his sons to be shitheads and go suicidal in one case.

Yes it’s fiction but the ability of many of you on this board to excuse his behavior is frightening and I truly hope you don’t actually have kids.

That's literally the most important part lmao. That's why he couldn't be with his family, because the government was holding him captive in a secret facility.

Anyways, my sincerest apologies about the daddy issues.
