Before his run on Batman I would have agreed with you. Halfway through his first year, I'd have given you the benefit of the doubt. But now, at best I could do is just look at you and go "Nah, dude. Nah"

What did he do that was "copying moore" then.
I've read some of moore and quite a bit of morrison, in fact his run on doom patrol remains my favorite comic run, and I see no resemblance.

even their approaches to being magick casting wizards is different.

The whole constant "psychedelic take on the greater meanings" feels like a college sophomore in lit class trying to be some kind of anti-establishment hero while he stuffs a Fleshlight in his TPB of Moore's Swamp-Thing run. The way he constantly looks to be trying to find excuses for characters to literally battle their own self image screams of Moore's work in Watchmen and League of . All of this happens while Morrison constantly cribs from Gaiman really just make the guy's recent work feel super hackneyed, and when he has tried to distance himself from one, it just latches him closer to the other. His amazing JLA run being the epitome of his style always having to take heavily from one of the two, which in itself wasn;t so bad when he had new stories to tell. But now he's just constantly trying to rebottle the magic it seems.

I'm not saying Morrison hasn't done great work, I'm just saying those days seem to be very long gone with no signs of coming back.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

You just gave me a great idea buddy.
I would enjoy a punisher trilogy that basically makes him a freeper living in obama's america who has a break from reality when his family is murdered. It could deconstruct superhero vigilantism by showing how violence escalates and how a one man judge, jury and executioner is inherently a fascist idea. and it could critique right wing media for feeding into his neurosis. punisher would think he is doing good but his actions result in more social fear, more criminal violence (his included), and more injustice. along with the actual drug lords, murders, and pimps that are usually found in these stories, he would also inevitably be executing criminals guilty of misdemenors and minor felonies. and there would be a race and class tint to his actions (even if he is unaware of it) where the majority of his targets are lower class minorities. the story could show the real cost of violence with grieving communities, mothers, widows, and fatherless children.

the real protagonist of the story would be a fbi everyman tasked with taking him down. just an ordinary man with a family trying to take down this psycho vigilante without getting killed in the process. the second film would be about this, the punisher on the run, trying to deliver justice to the unjust with the government breathing down his neck. the climax would be a ruby ridge/waco stand off where a bunch of cops get killed but punisher still escapes.

the fbi everyman would still be on his tail but the third movie would be about punisher (from character growth in the previous films) turning his attention to the rich and powerful. the drug king pins, gun manufacturers, financiers, politicians, etc. who make the lion share of money from crime poverty and corruption but are themselves untouchable. punisher would start assassinating the rich. this would make people in the government and outside of it really mad and afraid and the punisher's main antagonists in this film would a pmc the rich hire to hunt him down. then the punisher would die having ultimately failed in his quest.

it would be the anti-superhero superhero movie. and the overall theme of the trilogy would be about social disfunction.

The Punisher is honestly a more boring Ogami Itto most of the time, which is certainly an achievement because Ogami Itto doesn't even have internal narration.

:agreed: At least Ogami Itto has Daiguro to play off of his actions, as well. The Punisher needs someone like Microchip, which is why I think the character got lame after they got rid of the Chip.

Also, Garth Ennis and Frank Miller wish they were as crazy as Kazuo Koike.

He's the Lone Wolf in "Lone Wolf and Cub", with Daiguro being his son. Or, if you're familiar with samurai movies, Ogami Itto is the Shogun Assassin.

I've read a bunch of these, it's really good. the art is excellent, the story is interesting and pays attention to historical detail.

"Batman is a dingus. He is a trust-fund billionaire who puts on a balaclava with ears so that he can do technology-enhanced karate at pickpockets and muggers; who sinks his fortune into paramilitary hardware in support of his one-man campaign to punch a major city into peace; whose concept of justice is throwing on his Goth Navy SEAL costume and terrifying people so they’ll follow the rules better; who evidently has never once considered that Gotham City’s continued awfulness might refute his methods. He throws darts shaped like his brand logo. He’s Jeff Bezos on steroids and paint-thinner fumes. He is a choad."

yeah this would work; not even that far of a leap from the stuff already out there really

"the punisher is insane/deluded and his actions cause more harm than good" seems like a recurring theme, even if it isn't always the theme
