DesertIslandHermit posted:The original Willy Wonka movie did a good job handling the weird pygmy worker colonialism of the book by just making them weird orange fantasy dwarves in lederhosen. what if the dwarves are slaves but also they like slavery and we are the real kinkshamy racists for thinking theres a problem with that

Honestly wouldn't be a big stretch to go with the Oompa-Loompas being the real brains of the operation and Wonka's just the frontman.

After 10 or so years people would've started turning their guns back on each other. That's what Manhattan tells him before he poofs out of existence "In the end? Nothing ever ends."

and ofc in real life the USSR collapsed, ending the cold war abruptly in just a few short years. it wasn't a gordian knot requiring the unique talents of the world's smarted person to unpick after all.

DoubleDonut posted:it's fine to hate Rorschach, he's a real piece of poo poo that's the ultimate punchline, rorschach's morals are repulsive and incoherent but he's ultimately the only one who has even thought about a moral justification for spending all his time crippling muggers, the rest of them are either doing it for kicks or to massage their egos, or both. so they murder him.

Yeah, his storyline was a complete waste of time, but seeing Jeremy Irons ham it up was one of the few bright spots on that mess of a mystery box. indigi posted:the pirate ship comic was so loving stupid and boring. or shipwreck. whatever it was, it sucked Wasn't it supposed to be an analogy to the Comedian's descent into despair?
