reason #857 why corbenic is the worst: the passive aggression
After the maiden had passed once in front of the table, she returned to the chamber from which she had come. Sir Gawain followed her with his eyes as far as he could. When she was out of sight, he looked before him at the table where he was seated, but he saw nothing for him to eat. Rather, the table lay empty in front of him, although there was no one else who did not have a great abundance of food as thought it grew there. When Gawain saw this, he was too shocked to know what he should say or do. He realized that he had done something wrong, since he had nothing to eat as the others did.
— Lancelot Part IV, Chapter 137, Roberta L. Krueger translation
“Dinner is only for good boys and girls who have not even thought about sex once in their lives and ideally don’t even know what it is; we will not, however, be explaining this, merely rubbing in your face the fact that you have been a Bad Boy and look how nice everyone else has been”

Add one more tally to the "US medical care creates supervillains" tally.
Sure, John was already a criminal but if there was a hope in hell of him getting the supplies he needed to stay alive there was at least a CHANCE he wouldn't have gone full megalomaniac.
