Can you put this on some kind of blog post off the forums so it can be more easily shared around?

Like Bishop the android, I don't so much get upset at this, as feel contempt for Mark Millar. I do think he probably was setting out to make the ugliest, shittiest thing possible out of some kind of poo poo-rear end sadism, chaos magic theory or no. Indeed it being so relentlessly banal probably accents this, because it is just this horrid THING that is just making flat disgusting jokes constantly. It's like a look into the mind of a "real" serial killer (as opposed to some romanticized Hannibal Lecter).

So was this entire thing a big jab at Morrison or something, then? Can we ask Morrison to curse him?

millar’s cynicism is facile, if you want to make it clear that people are witless foot-dragging monsters then just going “rape and murder” over and over is basically finger painting

fuckin Johnny the Homicidal Maniac had a better portrayal of humanity’s suffocating moral turpitude than this
Millar would have made the one guy who's like "yeah gently caress you Johnny, I'm going to go home to Jesus, so gently caress your poo poo" turn out to be a child molester.

In fact everyone would be a child molester.

Even Squee!

if this is accurate then holy loving christ especially don't do the let's read :cripes:

e: again, if I compile this Let's Read into a single-article format so it can be shared around, what would be the preferred place to archive it? Medium? Tumblr? LPix SSLP test poster? a Twitter thread with screenshots of my posts?
I think Medium would work best from among what you've said. I was thinking Blogspot or something but I'm an old gently caress now I guess. I feel like you want to make this a thing that normal people can read.

e: Also I bet part of why Millar got options is that a lot of his poo poo, due to his relentless growling about how superheroes are dumb poo poo for babies, would be relatively inexpensive to film compared to the recent spate in bonko superhero action. Ennis would probably be similar but he always has people who would require heavy makeup.
