Hmm they were good, but also, sadly, not about hellboy at all. The characters were just completely different, and it was not a change for the better

BJ’s dad, his struggle for self-worth at everyone else’s expense, the domestic violence, provided important context to mass racial violence. And that personal background made killing Nazis not merely a cathartic revenge against a cartoonishly villainous other, but a much more cathartic fight for survival, as its own…

“90s EXTREME movement in comics, which, coincidentally, was the last time anyone should have cared about the Punisher” and going from punisher worship = warcrimes to “The Punisher should have been left behind with Rob Liefeld’s career,” were the statements I was primarily responding to. You’ve since said you don’t…

We don’t give people due process because they deserve it, we do it because it’s necessary to protect all of us, and because we are very, very bad at determining if someone is actually guilty of anything if we do not go through a process to determine that. Rights are not about dessert, they’re policies.

Yeah that sounds unconstitutionally vague but that’s okay because what he did would be assault in probably every jurisdiction.

Poisoning someone isn’t a “prank,” it’s “assault” and it’s a crime everywhere.

Given that Punisher MAX started in the early 2000s, you are clearly talking out of your ass.

I think you too have critically misunderstood the character, or at least the most highly regarded and influential version of the character—Garth Ennis’s Punisher MAX version. The “worship” is definitely problematic, but it’s also entirely inconsistent with the character and the message behind him—so let’s not throw…

I don’t think people should stop making good art—which is truly what Garth Ennis’s Punisher MAX run was/is (since he’s doing prequels right now)—just because dumb fucks so horribly misunderstand the message.

Worth mentioning that there is reason to believe that peanut allergies are on the rise because of underexposure to peanuts. Parents are so cautious about possible, undiagnosed allergies that they’re avoiding exposure and creating allergies in the process. So it’s probably counter-productive overall to create more and…

That wasn’t an attack on videogames, and “it’s not a concern because it’s a concern everywhere” is the most nonsense thing I’ve read all day.

Yeah, I dunno too much about florida’s stand your ground law, but George Zimmerman’s acquittal is entirely inconsistent with the entire history of self-defense law

At common law, malice aforethought can be met by intent to kill, but it’s not limited to it: “Implied malice exists when any purposeful, cruel act is committed by one individual against another without any, or without great provocation.” Essex v. Commonwealth, 228 Va. 273, 322 S.E.2d 216 (1984).  

I think if you catalogued every marvel hero or every DC hero, they would not proportionately represent the population of the U.S.

Even if you believe humane meat is a myth, you’d have to be pretty dense as an animal rights activist to act as it is merely one or the other. It might not be humane, but it is far less inhumane then industrial farming practices. And I don’t think you protest McDonalds to make McDonalds listen—you do it to make their…

A taco is not a wrap, and is not made with any kind of bread. A burrito is a wrap. But this raises the real issue, which is that a hot dog is absolutely a sandwich, until you start added context. If Jimmy Johns opens up in a mall, and has a contract with the mall that prohibits the mall from leasing to any other…

Especially in the context of the character’s comic book history, the success of Black Panther looks like appropriation reversal. The character was created by white creators when black creators and characters had little or no place in mainstream comics. That added representation was a step forward, but that, in my…

Why is it that I sometimes cannot read kinja articles at all because it automatically scrolls to an ad and won’t let me scroll back up or down without it pulling back? I would assume it’s just a glitch if it wasn’t porting me to a fucking ad.

I agree that HH should have been more careful in how “nice” he was to his tenants, and I agree that this arrangement should change if HH is not happy with it. But his roommate and her boyfriend are not doing anything wrong here, and asking why HH has a problem with it cannot be so conclusively read as “being…

It’s pretty consistent with the Alt-Right’s whole game—ya know, being ironically racist, “just trolling,” until you find out just how many other people are as evil as you are
