It's a pecking order of sympathy for some, first come your first world civilians (preferably white), then your LGBTQ first world civilians then brown third world civilians way, way back in the distance there.

And that would be a really depressing ending, "all of Wander's hope and optimism and the power of friendship thinkin' is useless against an enemy of pure evil, better to kick its ass". Man, I do not want that message to be one of the last ones we get for this show.

By some point, hair just becomes fur if there's enough of it, he's a fuzzy orange spoon guy so I'll say fur.

It had echoes of "Godfellas" but then a character being a god to far smaller creatures goes way back so there's a decent few examples you can point to. There were a few callbacks and references to other works so yes.

What happened? Well, the US' military strategy between 2001 and, oh, 2009 happened, people were driven to fear by the ghoul of Muslims and how there was a lot of profiling of all Muslims being part of a sleeper cell ready to bomb everyone you know.

Agreed, it's a point I made elsewhere that comfortable, secure and financially stable people do not look to guns to solve their issues. Make a healthy social situation where nobody gets left behind by design and the bad parts usually recede. The gun laws also need really strengthening up to prevent someone being able…

Who's this we, charlie?
