I call these Rorschach moments, in honor of retarded communist comic book author Alan Moore, whose inverted moral compass made him think that Rorschach would be an insulting caricature of conservatives and not by far the most relatable and honorable character in Watchmen.
It’s a funny thing when leftists try to frame their political and cultural opponents as the loser bad guys in media - because those “far-right reactionary fascist” bad guys always end up being kind of awesome and thoroughly correct.
Like happened with Red Skull in the last decade.
Someone evidently thought "Here's a topic we want to paint as bad, let's pair it with Super Hitler! That'll show them Drumpfchuds!"
Somewhat related since it's DC, Superman had a comic about climate change including Superman's son being in a group with a sign that read "There is no planet B".
Earth literally is "planet B" for Kal'El.
Various DC characters, including Superman, are written as being so beyond mortal intelligence that solving something like climate change should in fact be quite possible for a large number of the DC roster.
The Justice League also not only have the ability to travel to other planets through tech, but many individual members can similarly achieve spaceflight. That alone should mean access to solar resources but of course doesn't.
Because comics always try to be "Earth like" and maintain the status quo of having superheroes in a semi-realistic world that can't actually go around fixing things since that would get in the way of "the message".
That's a common problem with making Earth a nexus point for galactic protagonists, yet forcing the setting to remain contemporary. "Why don't the heroes use their knowledge of outer space to advance human civilization hundreds of years?"
One reason I so adore Gurren Lagann even after all these years is because that's exactly what happens.
One of the most influential and famous story arcs in Marvel history post-2000 was that literally no one in their entire universe can heal a gunshot wound in a normal old lady except the Literal Fucking Devil altering reality.
These writers cannot grasp their own sense of scale and power.
Aunt May in Weapon X program - what a storyline that would've been.
Stop reminding me One More Day Exist
Fun fact, we have a solution for "climate change", aka excess CO2: Iron ocean seeding. A billion dollars of rust dumped into specific parts of the ocean would offset a century of CO2 emissions.
That this solution is not thoroughly investigated is proof that it's all bullshit.
The same groups saying iron seeding might have negative effects were demanding Congress dump coal dust on the ice sheets in the 1970s to fight global cooling. And then demanding tougher emissions controls in the 90s to fight global warming.
I'm gonna give everyone a pass on that, no matter their beliefs. Most people's brainstems are going to (correctly) interpret dumping unimaginable amounts of rust into the ocean to change the planet as closer to cosmic horror than engineering.
Not cutting down hundreds of acres of trees for shitty solar panel farms?
You think that's what solar farms are for? It's not about trees. Solar panels leech chemicals into the soil making the land they were installed on unsuitable for growing food.
Both of these things can be true.
You get a GoFundMe started for that. I'm gonna keep throwing car batteries in the ocean.
The entire plot of the old Superfriends cartoon (the one with the wonder twins) was the Justice League fighting the weather lol.
hell, lex luthor would do it just to monetize it and piss off superman.
And that's terrible
You'd think they'd have learned that even when there isn't a shred of politics in it, people still flock to and worship the bad guys anyway because they are cool and fun.
Like, this isn't comic book in the 40s where people are seething with hatred about the Nazi Villains. People are showing up like a wrestling event to root for their favorite heel to play his part.
Exactly this. Unfortunately bad guys have been neutered for "modern audiences." They're not allowed to punch women let alone win a fight against them. They're not allowed to be smarter than female or minority protagonists, either.
And yet regardless of what, they are still cooler than the heroes most of the time. Because the heroes have become equally cucked, but they are willing and happy participants in it instead of resisting or reacting back to it.
There's a set of Suicide Squad comics where one of the SS members (heh) is a J6er. Some guy named Wild Dog, who, in a roundabout way, is being proven right, since he's being threatened with death by an abusive government agency forcing him to perform black ops.
It did lead to an amusing panel where Firefly asks "While I do agree our thoughts are being regulated, you realize you work for the government now?"
They made Wild Dog a J6er? He was some hispanic dude in the Arrow tv show 🤣

Yep: https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Suicide_Squad:_Get_Joker!_Vol_1
He was a blonde white guy named Jack Wheeler. TV show race swapped him, like they do with a lot of characters.
Wheeler's name is mentioned in the trivia section of your Ramirez link.
Sure, but my point is that Rick's first appearance as the character was back in 2016. I'm guessing they kept the comic character a blonde white guy for the J6 plot as that happened less than 4 years ago. Both DC and Marvel have changed legacy characters due to live action adaptation, "MCU Synergy" if a term thrown around for that like with the Eternals changing their lineup to match the failed movie.
To the surprise of nobody here that didn't happen when the comics wanted to portray J6 bad and "white man bad" by pairing the two.

He was a blonde white guy named Jack Wheeler. TV show race swapped him. In 2017 they really pushed to make him a right wing strawman.
I like that term. Watchmen is good but unfortunately it started the whole “super hero deconstruction”. My brother was shocked that I’ve never watched Boys. I got some of the comics but I’m so tired of the evil Superman trope.
Don't. It could have been good, but it has become 100% Leftist projection content. The audience was revolting against the writers last I heard, so it's not going well for them. I still like Homelander, and they can't stop me.
Show was accidentally dangerously based, so the authors set it on fire because the wrong people were having fun.
Season 1 was OK, everything after was modern day shit and subverting expectations. Some of the writing being so bad some characters just kept going through the same plot line every season, like MM constantly dealing with racism because he's the black guy on the team.
I swear every writing room is either forced to "address" the same issues or the people hired are the type that see everything in their life through race/gender
Here's a comment about season 2 I made 4 years ago.

There are other reviews of season 2 in that thread but it's very spoiler heavy so be warned.
Thanks!
I like how we are just supposed to pretend that if you offer something for "free" that people won't just line up to take it, needing or not. Its like when they claim "women don't lie about rape" as if women as a collective just know when its serious and become perfect humans.
Gotham is a literal shithole city, filled with people whose everyday life is a struggle to survive the rampant crime and endless low ability to live because of it. Bringing in more fucking criminals (that's what the word illegal means!) that have even less reason not to join X Villain Gang is probably one of the most retarded ideas possible.
I also like how they made the leader of these "radicals" look like an 18th century Jedidiah Amishman, just to try and drive home how "out of touch" he is.
The classic story of how the left can't understand the issues and critiques of the right to critique them while the right DOES understand them and it's the right's own morality that hinders or helps their opposition.
I'm sure many of us get frustrated by some on the right saying 'turn the other cheek and allow forgiveness' but even they understand the left. I think part of the reason is that the left's empathy is stretched so thin over so many causes it becomes non existent while the right at least prioritises what to care about by proximity or culture.
Frustrated would be one way to put it. Wishing they would fuck off and go join their fellow cuckolds on the left is how I would put it. They are controlled opposition.
In the total state even comics are propaganda for the state.
I bet this ends with the Joker gassing the protestors (and Batman does nothing to stop it) while he makes a quip "I may be a mass murdering psychopath, but at least I'm not racist!" (Yes, I am aware he said this before during the Marvel/DC crossover and was insulted when the Red Skull gave him a compliment)
At least in that he said he was American
The least stilted line of those shown...and I still hate how they write.
I wonder what percentage of this retarded population would recognize this as propaganda
Western comics are too far gone. Manga is next with USA/ESG influence. Only hope is chinese and korean stuff.
There is a spectacular Spider-Man issue from 82 where Spidey goes after a criminal who took a shop owners gun. Clearly the writer was pro gun control but he at least presented the shop owner as a good man who sincerely wanted to protect his family. At the end of the comic Jameson reads aloud the crime statistics regarding guns and the comic ends with “we have some of the strictest gun laws in the country so why is there still so much crime”.
I can respect the fact that the writer at least made that point. The writer of that panel clearly hasn’t looked at the illegal immigration issue. I know some Christians use the argument that Christ commands us to help those in need, but helping those in need and flooding countries with poor citizens are two different things. Also this writer has never looked at the effects of rampant illegal immigration.
Origin of superhero "The Blue Collar"
the dude's right
Of course. Without cheap labor how else is billionaire Bruce Wayne going to afford all his toys and Robins.
ah yes, put correct arguments in the mouth of the villain.
They can't even make an analogy, be creative, nothing. Just a strawman with the hero on the other side. Pathetic.
Nothing those protestors said was incorrect lol.
