Welcome to NatrixNate — where superheroes meet hot takes. I share my opinions on everything from comic book legends to their big screen adaptations. If you love debates, rankings, and bold takes on your favorite heroes and villains, you’re in the right place.

We explore the growing trend of people idolizing fictional villains and anti-heroes like Bullseye from Daredevil and Homelander from The Boys. What started as the harmless “Literally Me” meme has turned into something darker—where characters meant to be cautionary tales are now seen as role models. We look at how this mindset twists the meaning behind these stories, how simplified portrayals of heroes like Batman, Spider-Man, and Superman add to the problem, and what this says about modern pop culture and internet culture. This video dives into the psychology behind why we romanticize villains and why understanding their true narratives matters.
