I haven't read comics in decades but isn't Simpson working from an angle that wasn't even really fleshed out and explored in jj? Calling him misogynistic is kind of pointless, if he was written to one day portray him as he is in the comic; a mindless weapon with no actual control, personal agency stripped away by induced delusion and deliberately dissociative therapies.

His whole attempt to take over the situation and trivializing jj and walker and wanting to do things his own way without input from them doesn't necessarily have anything to do with their gender, or anything else about them personally...he's fucking Nuke, a tool of his handlers with no real free will beyond achieving objectives. Of course he's going to ignore the wishes and ideas of civilians once he reactivates. He's not Simpson anymore, he's a vassal for the drugs and mental conditioning that take him out of reality and lock him in a perpetual warzone. He's batshit insane by design.

If anything, him not unceremoniously slaughtering JJ and Walker for even remotely being in his way once he got back on the pills was the misogynistic part.

Maybe I am remembering things completely wrong but from what I remember of Nuke, he's really not even supposed to be around the general public when on the pills, because he's basically a walking disaster that is only to be used in areas where everything that moves is considered to be a legitimate enemy target, he's a free-fire zone vaguely poured into the shape of a human.

Or maybe I don't remember him properly, or he isn't supposed to be like that in the show. I don't know at all. Like I said, I haven't even flipped a page in a comic book since the Reagan era.

I hope so, though. I always thought his character was interesting (which is how I found this article and this sub), in a "the destruction you passively tolerated for your enemies is now mandatory" kind of way. Mamma's little boy with the best of intentions turned into a broken golem running amok, a situation that was always accounted for by those who created him.

Or maybe he's meant to be a minor plot device and just whiteknighted too hard, I don't know.
