Bill Maher on Comic Book Culture

[thrasherpix]

I can't recall where I saw or heard it, but someone said more people are fans of a dead Stan Lee than a live Bill Maher, and I'm sure that's true. (While that in itself doesn't prove or disprove his statement, I think it does show how pointless it is...but I'm sure Maher will be milking this for years to come.)

I really enjoyed the interview between Maher and Milo Yiannopoulos, because Maher wants to be this cool edgelordy contrarian but Milo has him beat in that department.

I don’t read comic books. I didn’t even read them when I was a child. What I was saying is: A culture that thinks that comic books and comic book movies are profound meditations on the human condition is a dumb f—ing culture.

'I don't know anything about this thing. But this thing is stupid.'

- Bill Maher.

This genuinely cracked me up. I gave his original comment too much respect just by responding to it.
