psychologist Carl Jung once described
the persona as a kind of mask designed
on the one hand to make a definite
impression on others and on the other to
conceal the true nature of the
individual right
basically who we are on the inside is
different than who we are on the outside
but what if putting on a mask could
actually reveal what was underneath it
underneath the mask
you mean your face I don't even know how
to start to answer that use your mouth
it's on your face
oh wow Wiz is trying to figure out how
masks work dumb ass let's talk about one
mask in particular the mask its origins
are shrouded in mystery some say it was
used as part of an African tribal ritual
others say it was created by Loki the
Norse god of mischief who knows and who
cares it wound up in the hands of
stanley ipkiss this lobbyist dorkiest
loser this side of deadpool regenerate
degenerates have feelings tell you now
curious
Stan Lee donned the mask and was
transformed from an everyman to a
Superman okay and now he's a big green
cartoon character the media dubbed
bighead but you can just call him the
mask with his newfound powers Stan Lee
would take on the mob get the girl and
live happily ever after
right don't let the family movie fool
you sorry movies I always forget that
second one don't blame you visit your
silly Steamboat Willie shenanigans get
ready for some good old-fashioned
hardcore violence see the mask itself is
alive and it desires nothing more than
absolute carnage by tapping into its
wearer's repressed in it can turn a
nebbish nobody like Stan Lee into a
rampaging serial killer complete with
Bugs Bunny powers horrifying
metafictional scientists like myself
have long speculated about a unifying
theory that could explain the source of
the masses pow
among many others drugs what no it's a
phenomenon known as crack cocaine a
phenomenon known as pcp come on where's
dude totally high on something
fine whatever we'll just finish this
