came out, you caught some backlash for opening the special with political jokes about Trump, but you told people to just get through the first seven minutes if they disagreed with you. You get more consistently political throughout this special—is this a direction you see yourself growing in?
I don't know if I would call those right-wing critics of mine fans necessarily, though some of them were, but I do think there's an objectivity to the stuff inthat it wasn't specifically ideological, it really was, again, about fear.
I think still, the criticism is valid and I think in a weird way in the special, I kind of honor the comic book world more than attack it. I present my criticisms of it, but the throughline is kind of fun, and if they can't see the fantasy of it, then everybody is so dug in the tribal trenches that I don't know, maybe we just can't see—there's no possibility of us all being on the same page again.
