I hate so-called "cool, calm, and collected" characters being presented as superior beings that are shown being correct so often that the consumer take-away message is that being emotionally cold and abrasive makes them smart too. :reddit-logo: worshiped characters like that pretty much since Digg collapsed and also LARPed as being the same way in their own self-descriptions. The "misanthropic genius asshole flattered by the script and by total screen time" cliche is related to this too.
autism as a superpower.
The fucking good doctor show is so bad with this, cause its both autism as a superpower but also "autistic people are obnoxious awkward freaks we can barely stand" at the same time, so it just comes off like the show thinks this guy should be in some kinda supervised living if he wasnt a medical superhuman so people "have to" put up with him.
Or at least thats the impression ive gotten every single time Ive had to overhear that show when my family watches it.
One of the Predator movies did this and it was disturbing. :visible-disgust:
oh shit, i totally forgot about that. had the kid from Room.
