The best anti Hitler movie would never have come out if the truth was known. Charlie Chaplin has said "Had I known of the actual horrors of the German concentration camps, I could not have made The Great Dictator, I could not have made fun of the homicidal insanity of the Nazis."

This is sort of why this election season has been so scary -- Fascism looks funny until they get the power to actually put their words into action.

ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST
Transformers More Than Meets The Eye #35:

Context: Through a long and somewhat convoluted series of events Megatron became an Autobot and renounced the Decepticon cause. Part of that involved becoming captain of a starship called the Lost Light and being sent on a quest to find a legendary group of Cybertronians no one's seen for millions of years. In practice that means he's been saddled with a bunch of second-string no-hoper idiots he has to corral into something resembling competence, including his glory-hound of a co-captain (a rank which doesn't exist and Optimus Prime made it up on the spot to soothe his ego). These pages comes just as they start to figure out the latest insidious plot/diversion/waste of time launched by one of their own crew:

It's less about poverty and more about being huge junkies and terrible, criminal people (usually to each other). Agreed that it needs to stay in the PYF Funny Comics thread.

Why do so many of Green Arrow's villains use bow and arrows? Haven't any of them ever heard of a gun?

Edit: Like these people hear there's a motherfucker out there who is the best with a bow and arrow. This dude is so good at shooting arrows he gets to hang out with Superman like they're peers and best buddies. They take this knowledge and they're all "you know what? I'm gonna out bow and arrow him."

They were all really big into video games during that five year period where bows were objectively superior to all firearms and just assumed it was true in the real world as well.

Arrows are considered Silent Weapons, so they won't raise an alarm and you'll get the stealth bonus at the end of the mission.

Yes, because there's apparently only 3 stories you can tell with Mockingbird: Her getting new superpowers, her dealing with her ex-husband and the time a ghost cowboy raped her.

The West Coast Avengers got into this really cool time-travel arc where each issue things broke into another timeline, and in one of them (somewhere in the 1800s) Mockingbird was knocked out and separated from the Avengers. Ghost Rider found out she had gotten amnesia and brainwashed her into thinking she loved him. She came to her senses, got pissed, and let him fall off a cliff to his death.

Hawkeye got so mad about her alleged violation of the "Avengers don't kill" rule that he divorced her. Not his finest hour.

It's a solution that operates under human logic, gives Bobbi back a sense of agency and responsibility without deifying her, and recasts a truly appalling story in a way that is far less appalling.

The fact that the solution is weak-handed and little more than a big "nuh-uh" to the original story are flaws I am 100% comfortable embracing.

To ignore it is the same as pretending it never happened. Making good from the wreckage is far more respectful.
