My question is for everybody else in this thread: why are you continuing to validate this attention whore?

We're supposed to all be amused because he makes some videos calling himself a "villain?" Tell you what, I've got a Flipcam right here. Give me five minutes and I'll be a billionaire inventor superspy.

Whatever your feelings on Phoenix Jones, here's the thing: he acts like the thing he's claiming to be. He's putting on a costume and hitting the streets. You may not agree with his methods or his goals, but he doesn't just get a camera and say "I'm a superhero! Pay attention to me!"

Look, Ryan Cory (I refuse to address you by that stupid name), you have some decent filmmaking skills. And kudos for finding a gimmick to get yourself some attention. But Jones is right: you're the equivalent of a Kardashian, trying to make yourself famous without having to do anything substantial.

Drop this act. Take the small bit of notoriety you've won yourself and use it to get a job somewhere better than Best Buy. Make a movie, or an art installation, or something useful. If you want to keep up this silly bit of performance art, I won't be at all sympathetic when Jones pounds you to a pulp.
