H for Hentai?

Pope Pizzaball!

Almost like she’s willing to nearly kill you to make sure you have a better life than hers.

Grind down the universe to a fine powder. Find me one atom of justice.

Never heard of that tool. Thank you for sharing it!

Big guy like that must have BIG guts.

Totally agree with this. It’s part of why I dislike that DC writers sometimes import traits from the Watchmen into their Charlton counterparts. Obviously, if you scratch the surface of Rorschach, you find the Question staring back. If you look at Silk Spectre the right way, you see Black Canary. Nite Owl 1 & 2 are the Blue Beetle (I’m glad that Moore never got to adapt Jaime).

I want most of my superheroes to be clean and honest. I want to know that when I read a story, the Question follows leads responsibly (even if they do sometimes involve aglets) - whether that’s Vic or Renee under the no-face. I want to know that Dinah Lance comes from a loving family, has a man she loves and trusts, and is dedicated to being a hero and a mentor to those who aren’t in the same place. And so it goes for all of them. I want those characters to be heroes and in the right - or at least, in the realm of responsibility.

A dying old man yes, but no less an evil bastard for it. The problem is that Rorschach was deluded by Ozymandias. The evidence he had about the death of a friend pointed to Moloch. He pursued the lead. And like any human, he got angry because someone he’d respected had been murdered and thought he had a lead on the murderer. And the murderer was someone who’d killed in the past.

Ozymandias was wrong.

He wanted power over a world scared of an “outside” threat that didn’t exist. As soon as anyone with any knowledge was able to debunk the ‘attack’, regardless of how, it would get even worse. The difference was only how far in the future. Rorschach didn’t die because Ozy was right. He died because he couldn’t be complicit in a world where evil got to win.

Ozymandias wanted to believe a heroic ideal as much as Rorschach - one that’s just as self-deluded. He wanted to believe that there was an end to “history”. He wanted to decide when the future began. But he forgot just one fact that Rorschach at least was cognizant of:

Nothing ever ends, Adrian.

None of those characters were right.

Yes, but what about the Olympic and Britannic?

Fair enough yeah.

I’ve learned to ask “what’s on your mind?” instead. It’s less accusatory than assuming something is wrong.

Stress, the rapid and sudden shift to everyone being part of an always-online culture, and the ongoing social disruptions. In all honesty, I believe that most of the online social / wrongthink scandals that happened in 2020 & 2021 would still have happened, but they’d be delayed and hit smaller niches.

The lockdowns were accelerators, not always direct causes. But we did all go insane.

I remember the JonTron scandal from 2020, it was social rather than criminal. I like a lot of what he creates and has created, so I really don’t care if it reflects who he is as a person.

Sounds like a Controller talking to me.

Um, why do you have the Temu version of Rachel morphing out of an emu, when that’s supposed to be Jake into the gecko?

There are dozens of us! Dozens!
