このコンテンツについて

A podcast that doesn’t just explore characters—it deconstructs them.


Each week, we pull apart the most iconic, complex, and controversial figures across comics, animation, video games, and pop culture. From masked zealots to haunted warriors, fallen heroes to corrupted gods—we unravel what makes them tick… and what makes them dangerous.


Blending dramatic storytelling, continuity-rich history, and philosophical analysis, Disassembled isn’t just a lore dive—it’s a breakdown of the characters we thought we knew. One that asks:


When does belief become obsession?

When does loyalty become a lie?

When does a hero become the villain?

And what lesson can we learn from the icons we grew up with?


If you’re looking for more than backstories—if you want to understand the why behind the who—this is your next obsession.


New episodes every Thursday.

Written and hosted by Tom Bedford of Handsome Comics.

Thanks for listening

And as always—Stay Handsome.

  • How The Fallen Became a Monster And What That Says About Us - Transformers Deep Dive
    2025/07/24

    Megatronus was forged for greatness.

    A Prime. A brother. A guardian of the stars.

    But when love became grief—and grief became purpose—he didn’t rise.

    He fell.

    In this episode of Disassembled: Heroes and Villains, we unravel the legacy of Megatronus, better known as The Fallen. From The Covenant of Primus to IDW’s twisted time loop, to the Dreamwave cults and the Bayverse apocalypse, his story echoes across the multiverse in flame, shadow, and sorrow.

    This isn’t just the tale of a traitor.

    It’s the story of what happens when belief turns to obsession—

    when guilt calcifies into dogma—

    and when even the noblest lose sight of who they were.

    Because Megatronus didn’t fall out of ambition.

    He fell because he believed he was right.

    So what happens…

    when a Prime trades mercy for certainty?

    And who do we become when we do the same?

  • What Mewtwo Taught Us About Choosing Our Own Path - Pokemon Deep Dive
    2025/07/17

    Mewtwo was never meant to choose.

    It was created—not born—stitched from the DNA of a mythical Pokémon and forced into existence by human ambition. A weapon. A lab experiment. A god with no past and no permission to ask why.

    And yet… it asked anyway.

    In this episode of Disassembled: Heroes and Villains, we descend into the full legacy of Mewtwo—across anime, manga, and film—to uncover what makes it one of the most complex and quietly tragic figures in pop culture.

    From its violent awakening in Mewtwo Strikes Back, to its quiet transformation in the Pokémon Adventures manga, to its moments of empathy in Genesect and the Legend Awakened and Detective Pikachu—Mewtwo’s story is not about conquest.

    It’s about choice.

    This is the tale of a being designed to destroy, who instead searched for meaning, agency, and identity in a world that never wanted it to be free.

    So what happens… when a god refuses to be your weapon?

    And instead chooses its own path?

  • What Overlord Taught Us About the Monsters We Make - Transformers Deep Dive
    2025/07/09

    Have A Character You Want To See Featured? Send Us A Text

    There are villains who conquer.

    There are villains who believe.

    And then… there’s Overlord.


    A Decepticon Phase Sixer engineered for escalation, Overlord wasn’t created to win battles—he was built to end them. From Masterforce and Zone to Last Stand of the Wreckers and Requiem, this is the story of a monster who didn’t just thrive in war… he became it.


    But what happens when the war ends?


    In this episode of Disassembled: Heroes and Villains, we explore Overlord’s brutal legacy, his terrifying evolution across Transformers continuities, and the deeper lesson he forces us to confront:


    🧠 What do we become when we chase victory without values?

    ⚠️ What happens when we build monsters—then act surprised when they behave like monsters?


    🔥 Whether you’re a lifelong Transformers fan or just love great villain storytelling, this is an unflinching look at one of the most terrifying figures in Cybertronian history.


    🎙️ Subscribe for weekly character deep dives into the icons and monsters that shaped pop culture.
