--Previous Message-- : Most of the characters (with the : exception of Thor) seemed to be working from : the idea that "might makes right" : -- or that the country with the biggest guns : (in this case still the Ultimates) makes the : rules. : : Exactly how the real world operates. : : : the fact that they're being : supported by Stark Enterprises now just : seems to reinforce the idea that corporate : America controls all. : : Exactly what is happening in this country : today. : : : Still, as long as there's Thor I suppose : there's hope... : : Couldn't have said it any better. : : The pessimist in me see all this crap going : on in both this country and the world : (similar to what Millar is trying to portray : in the Ultimates), and the fantasy fan boy : in me is rooting for someone, anyone, a : Thor, to come and save the day. Maybe, he : can convert a few people along the way to : his cause. : : So it's this piece of fiction that is : actually giving me hope, that in the face of : "might makes right", "biggest : guns makes the rules", and : "corporate America controls all", : the dream that there is still hope can live : on. : : : The regular MU seems to leaning a little too much toward this take and I hope it stops. It's cool to have rea;ism (or realism according to the writer's world view) but I want the majority of my heroes to BE heroes. Maybe not as boy scout-y as Superman in the wrong hands but heroes nonetheless.
