      Depends how bad the other monster was, I suppose.

      Becoming Tony Soprano as a means of stopping Sauron, for instance, would likely be worth it.

      Here, the combined intelligence agencies of the West appear to think that Trump is an existential threat to Western civilization. If they’re correct about that then I guess that justifies rigging the Super Bowl. Especially when you consider that there are significantly worse things (Gaza Genocide) going on right now. To say nothing of the bad things that they/we did in the past
