Green Intern posted:Nothing I love reading about more than some smug boomer-types walking into a comics shop where there’s never anyone under 50 years old. It's doubly infuriating because this boomer gently caress had completely wasted his chance to go to Comic-Con just to buy a bunch of omnibuses editions without even bothering to check out the other parts of the con. Especially when he could have saved everyone's time and money by just going to this comics shop.

amigolupus posted:There's not a big The morality system in Kevin and Kell basically amounts to saying it's OK to do bad things as long as you feel bad about doing it, or are doing it in such a way that is marginally more morally justified than however the bad characters are doing it. Hence why Kell's legalized murder business is better than Angelique's legalized murder business, because it's conducted using a better sense of business ethics. quote:This is just meanspirited. The reason Ralph can't hunt is not because of incompetence, it was because he was the first person in Hellworld who had developed a sense of empathy by talking to a prey species and seeing all of them as people, not meals to murder. For that reason, it wouldn't surprise me if Holbrook just forgets sometimes that he did that retcon. It's a much stronger moral stand than any other character has been willing to take. But other times he does remember that retcon because most of the villains are portrayed as being bad and worthy of being killed because they're incompetent, not because they kill other sentient creatures, so it's important that Ralph has an extraneous reason for being bad at hunting.

enough for Holbrook painting Angelique as evil for cheating when Kell's ex-husband also did the exact same thing.

Hence why Kell's legalized murder business is better than Angelique's legalized murder business, because it's conducted using a better sense of business ethics. Isn't Ralph like super fat? What the gently caress is he eating and not digesting? The morality system actually is that if Kevin, Kell, or any of the protagonists like their kids or some of their friends do something we would decry as murder or extortion if anyone else did it, well, it's good if they do because they are Good Protagonists and People. They can make small slips but overall anything illegal they do is handwaved away. There was a webcomic I used to read where one group of people were keeping a secret from everyone else on the planet; centuries ago aliens had massacred several planets and killed millions, but a few of the aliens who weren't involved had hidden away on this planet. Now, said aliens were shapeshifters, so it's not like they could insist they didn't do anything horrible, because anyone with eyes could say they simply changed their bodies so they wouldn't be recognized as mass murderers. But that one group of people, the secret keepers, were fine with making sure anyone who found the hidden aliens just were killed and their bodies buried. But if anyone else on this planet did that, why, they would be murderers and go to jail. But the secret keepers could literally execute, and had, dozens of people, people who were exploring and found the hidden place, or stumbled over an alien hunting, innocent people who would tell the world that hey, those murdering aliens are still around, and that was fine.

(I tend to agree with you on this, but on no planet should anyone be expected to be at a party at someone's home right at start time.) It just feels wrong to defend Luann, even when the one complaining is Bernice.
