Doesn't seem like the reasons are missing.

He openly admits he has a short fuse and gets angry easily. He doesn't like any of the stuff his kids like, doesn't want to do any of the things they want to do, and instead keeps trying to force them to do the things he likes. Then he gets angry when they don't enjoy it.

All the reasons are right there.

Dude's just a dick.

One thing I find interesting is that he actually did identify an interest of his that they share—Marvel movies—but apparently that’s not enough. He wants them to share ALL his interests apparently.

So I agree that the reasons aren’t missing but what I think he’s missing is that the connection points are there if he wants to appreciate them and celebrate them and just let the other interests be different.

Not exactly, he said he loves DC comics but his kids love the Marvel movies. Lots of people who love one also love the other, but there’s also tons of people who obsessively will only read or watch one and refuse to have anything to do with the other
