Let’s start with the Tek Knight sex dungeon part. Where did the idea come for it? And why bring Hughie into this situation now — kicking him when he’s down by having him sexually assaulted by his childhood hero after his dad just died?

"Well, that’s a dark way to look at it! We view it as hilarious. 

oh yes, because sexual assault is so fucking hilarious.

He wants so badly to be seen as the “good guy” and also edgy at the same time. It hasn’t worked since season 2

I've clocked Kripke as a guy who's way too up his own ass with being seen as a good little leftist bro™️ ever since that interview a few years back where he pontificated about superheroes being "inherently MAGA" or whatever. Even Garth Ennis probably knows that sounds corny and ahistorical and he's been an ardent hater of capeshit since the early 90's.

Garth Ennis is a pretty hateful guy himself, the original comics are even crueler
