And lastly, My Complaint about Aquaman:

People generally have strong views about Aquaman. But first, I'm going to jump ahead a bit and talk in general terms about how all Aquaman does is complain, complain, complain. Then, I'll back up and fill in some of the details. Okay, so to start with the general stuff, Aquaman truly believes that his decisions are based on reason. I hope you realize that that's just a venal pipe dream from a lawless pipe, and that in the real world, if you intend to challenge someone's assertions, you need to present a counterargument. Aquaman provides none. Help me provide an antidote to contemporary manifestations of immoral particularism. Join your hands with mine in this, the greatest cause of our time.
