Dumb can be dangerous

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, July 15, 2023




So we love our clever villains, our smooth criminals, the conniving sly characters that use their brains to thwart the heroes and be a real menace. Like the riskiest game of chess, the hero has to match that kind of villain in strategy and smarts as well as determination, prowess ...
