It pretty much starts being a skippable panel at the beginning once Miller takes over the scripting.

Libraries all day!

Yeah, stuff like cultural appropriation is something you look for to explain a story that doesn't work well holistically.

Good Iron Fist runs are aware of that legacy and make it an integral part of Danny's character, though.

You just described why NI works, haha.

The issue is really that an entire generation was raised by people who spent their formative years watching their families get murdered by Nazis. And then that generation spent its formative years were spent being attacked on all fronts by all of their neighbors.

Yeah…fuck Century, haha.

I'm one of the most vocally pro-Israel regulars on this site.

Exactly.

I'd agree…but he also has men get raped all the time, haha.

Yeah, I don't trust anyone who says that there's a clear right and wrong there. (Other than the settlers. Fuck those assholes.)

I think he would distinguish between parody and Before Watchmen, though.

Eh, it works for the 1948 war, where Britain basically abandoned them in the middle of hostile territory, and then they fought off several countries at once.

Oh, definitely. I just think the whole "Alan Moore loves rape!" meme is a bit ridiculous, because his use of it stems from the fact that he considers it the second worst thing that one human being can do to another.

You can see the origins of Year One's dual "I should have taken the plane" "I should have taken the train" monologues.

It's because we want a client state in the Middle East, haha.

Yeah, like how OSC went off the rails in the middle of his Bean books when he made a gay character who gets married to a woman and tries to have kids so that he can be a part of the community.

But the IRA were terrorists and the PLF are freedom fighters!

Have the second and third Janni trades been better than the first? After "Century" and "Heart of Ice," I have no real desire to read any more of it.

But his use of rape is because of his fascination with human reactions to suffering, and his belief that rape is only surpassed by murder in terms of evil.
