Word Problem

So among new and upcoming offerings in streaming entertainment are a live-action adaptation of Garth Ennis's comic book series The Boys, coming from Amazon, and from Netflix another retelling of the life and crimes of serial killer Ted Bundy. This is the scenario behind the following ethical puzzle:

1) Choice A is yet another expedition into the mind of a murderous lunatic who welcomely left this mortal coil 30 years ago.
2) Choice B is a live-action version of one of the comic book industry's foremost practitioners of the illusion that brutal vulgarity is creativity.
3) Choice C is to have iodine injected directly under your fingernails via rusty hypodermics.

Which do you pick?

Ha! I'm sorry, it's a trick question. We ran out of iodine forty or fifty people ago!
