Re: Are Superheroes Inherently Fascist
But that's the exception not the norm and often Superheroes are characters that reflect everything fascists hate.

Re: Are Superheroes Inherently Fascist
This seems to be a view pointed shred by the original creator The Boys comic series, Garth Ennis, who is infamous for his dislike of Superheroes and Captain America and Wolverine in particular. Pretty ironic, considering Ennis actually likes Superman. https://preview.redd.it/garth-ennis-really-hate...

Re: [Marvel] How I'd reboot The Punisher
Frank Castle is a hurt person who hurts people. I think the stories work better when the writer realizes that he is NOT an aspirational figure, but part of the fallout of a broken system.

Re: What did Elon Musk do this time.
Not surprised that the Musk and Trump love in is already breaking up though. I really do not get the impression that Musk is as indoctrinated in extreme MAGA as a lot of Trump's followers are. For one thing, maybe it has hit Musk that he runs international companies? That's the thing about Musk, he...

Re: Is it really the M-SHE-U
Honestly, the only thing that's giving this "M-SHE-U" culture war buzzword any sort of ammo is that the last few MCU projects haven't been all that profitable, which has a lot more to do with other factors and not what one particular side thinks.
