I'd say the inspirations, or rather motivations were both real life and fictional instances.

On the fictional side, while yes Spidey or Batman were massive inspirations (suits a dead giveaway), its the real life MOTIVATIONS that drove me to doing this, One night I was with my mom, driving home from east orange, saw some lady getting beat up by a full grown man, and while unable to do anything considering the circumstance, that moment was still burned into my head, and made me think "Why don't people help?", I kelt that qeustion in mind whenever I saw tragedy, someone getting picked on.

Then one day in 2020, early off in the year, someone in my school had pulled a box cutter on me, and while yes I could've easily let them go, what if that person did the same to someobe else? What if someone left in a few cuts, or in something worse that day?

I couldn't personally bear that, knowing I could've done something about it, and I did, notifying security of the issue asap, and my eyes didn't leave that person during the whole situation, determined to keep everyone safe.

I think that day was the day I really took what was going to do as Midnight seriously, cut to 2 years later in 2022 and you got me.

So they can order me to unmask myself and let my identity get revealed, subsequently putting not only me but my loved ones in danger? No thanks.

Not to mention, I literally presented this exact idea of a N.Watch to this subreddit, and geuss what? The idea got shit on πŸ’€

I understand where you and the 25 other people who upvoted your comment (who I geuss dont like interaction/joke) are coming from, but simply going to the police who already don't do jack in a city devoid of hope and faith and joining a neighborhood watch, aint it.

-Friendly Neighborhood Midnight.
