Wonder Woman aside, fall’s origin stories include EVs, Dahmer, and Gilbert Gottfried
The new film grew out of a 2012 graphic novel from Derf (aka John Backderf), who attended high school with the notorious Dahmer. Based on Derf’s character in the film, he considered Dahmer a friend of sorts. Dahmer lived one of those involved-on-the-fringes high school lives—he joined the tennis team and played trumpet in the band, but sat alone at lunch. Instead of spending time with friends, he spent his after-school hours in his makeshift lab dissolving roadkill carcasses in some acid gifted by his scientist dad.
But Derf takes an interest in Dahmer heading into senior year because the latter starts showcasing an oddball, Jackass-style performance humor (faking seizures in public places, for instance). He becomes a kind of muse for the aspiring cartoonist, who doodles Dahmer as a superhero or as the Statue of Liberty during shared classes. So Derf invites Dahmer into his social circle more frequently, giving him (and us) a front row seat to all the complex forces influencing this future killer’s life.
These mofos love their serial killers man.
I bring this up because in these recent times we have seen a mass uptick of white terrorism.
The LAST thing we need them doing is to be glorifying their psychopaths
Angry white male syndrome/white psychosis/ is no joke
Bonus round:
But even as a teen, flashes of the future Dahmer would come to the surface on occasion. Dahmer asks a black classmate if his insides look the same as his.
