A million batman origin stories. Parents brutally murdered by whoever. But instead of a family fortune you are approached by a friendly CIA agent who offers to fund your vigilante career.

    I think I have seen something like this. Can’t recall the name, but it was more like taken, with some agency funding some rando to collect their family.

    Edit: I think this is the one: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1000734-amateur

    Edit2: Remade with Rami Malek: https://youtu.be/DCWcK4c-F8Q

      I figure this is the origin story for a lot of terrorists.

      I just saw this movie.

      Tap for spoiler

      He blackmails his superiors to get training… he isn’t offered to get revenge on his wife’s killers. They laugh at him…

        I think thats in the trailer, so no spoiler. Its not exactly OPs premise, but its close, its still a normie being helped by a larger organisation. Did you like it?

          I dunno, he gets treated like a ‘normie’ but continually surprised people who underestimate him.

          It wasn’t the best movie but not the worse. It has some fun moments. Made me want to watch Mr. Robot (only seen pieces).

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
