It's sort of fun that Secret Wars II is a story about an omnipotent child who spends a lot of his time using his power to create stupid gadgets and conspicuously consume. Even in the last issue, the Beyonder still comes off like Jim Shooter wrote all his dialogue with a Sharper Image catalog open on the desk in front of him. In retrospect, you couldn't get that out of anywhere and anytime besides America in the '80s. It reminds me a lot of Bret Easton Ellis, weirdly.

I was never actually quite sure whether Shooter was going for humor, or satire, or just couldn't think of anything better to do with an omnipotent idiot-child than give him strong Brewster's Millions energy.

Synthbuttrange posted:Having the Beyonder murder your entire favourite teen team was a hell of a thing. And not just your typical bolt from the blue or massive explosion. That was some custom-tailored, merciless killing. I'm really glad I didn't read that until I was old enough to handle it.
