Grudges are how you wind up arguing Clinton vs Sanders in 2025 or following around a poster on a message board, clipping their posts, and posting them to discord to dunk on them. That shit might feel good in the moment, but it will burn your soul from the inside out and soon all you'll have is your anger. You won't have anything else left.

Think it was Morrison’s run on JLA with the concept “catching [humanity] if they fall” but not doing everything for them. Some sense of preserving self determination and growth, only with a safety net. Like a couple steps away from the prime directive.

There is a good monologue in the final issue on why Squadron Supreme utopia was destined to fail (the whole Utopia depends of good people not abusing it and they cannot trust new generations), but Mark Gruenwald put an objection on that with the final scene. 

When I was googling it I found the blog of a dude that also seems to have misread the comic

https://archfrivolous.com/2021/06/07/inside-the-hibernacle/

But now, it all seems bonkers. Let’s accept that you have to reopen prisons, because the B-Mod stuff really isn’t OK (the theory of mind and society it’s built on is absurd, mind you – but the absurdity is fascinating and might be worth talking about later). But the following list seems like a bunch of net goods to me. No guns, no army, and a promise to end death (if you want – the hibernacle program isn’t compulsory). But this is only a partial list – the Squadron has also made inroads into ending poverty and unemployment, according to an earlier issue. Does Nighthawk – or Gru – think that those advances should also be rolled back?

Nighthawk just tell you that all of this depends of a benevolent dictatorship that will never be sustainable in the long run, you tankie…

Although this is very true, that's a secondary objection for me, I reject the premise that moral purity (not that heroes are shown to be truly morally pure despite the writers best efforts) equals omniscience. Even in the case of Superman, Hyperion or Kyle as Ion I'm reluctant to grant omnipotence as well.

And to head off the obvious plot defense: a character who cannot be wrong is bad writing.

Oh, I agree with you. I think the last scene was Gruenwald trying to be hopeful and not go as pessimistic as Nighthawk (“you cannot trust the next generation”). Not saying that it was genuinely viable. 

Is funny, because Alan Moore did something similar with MarvelMan where he ends with “maybe what I did was wrong.”  

Did Gaiman completed his run like Marvel promised it would happen?

PoliGAF Neoliberals forcing Bernie Sanders to watch Trump privatize Social Security. Colorized. 2026.

"It was her turn, Bernard!"

Old rule of GAF is that if you saw two or more red names in your thread you best be on your toes and the discussion is about to die.

Clicked that politics thread and saw no fewer than four moderators/admins in the last two pages. That's a zombie thread being kept alive by dual-wielding laser sight mods. Dan ger ous!

Yes, though I don't know if there was intent to do another part. I haven't read the Silver Age, the Golden Age was pretty meh and random.

We spend all sorts of time together, he's gay, I'm something. We dislike a lot of the same things.

I feel like it just makes sense but I'm not sure the best way to talk to him about it. And it could be risky what if he is bad at it or just isn't a good partner in that regard.

Then it will either be maximum awkward or I'll be back on the street lol

This must be how some women feel

I've been enjoying these posts. It's better than the Trump panic.

Fishies gotta earn

Still trying to achieve my dream of landing a job as a sign spinner 🪧 🔊

I’m almost 40 years old and I’m trying my best. I’m very mentally ill there have been lots of psychiatric holds put on me keeping me in hospitals against my will.

But at this chapter in life I am free I do not belong in a hospital I can make it and have a good life where I work and I’m out here with all the people being just a piece of the puzzle like all the other fine people

I go to all my appointments and I take most of my meds I really do pretty damn well all things considered 💅

People with my kind of psych disorders very rarely achieve my level of independence

I guess? He is honestly so overcome with jealousy almost every day that I think they will split up, and soon she is sick of it. Shame cause they really do make a good couple, rode the bus with them today and he kept his schizophrenia under control didn’t talk shit about anyone else on the bus. He normally loses control and will yell mean things he has gotten beaten up before over it.

Even if they split though, I could not handle the stress of being her dude she is too wild and she really wants a whipping boy she can treat like a slave and that wouldn’t work I like to be the one to hold the whip 😋

It will make me really sad actually if they break up, I could see him never recovering from the loss and she will probably just move away

I haven't been paying attention lately, but isn't argentina supposed to be a libertarian paradise now? how come the an-cat cop running this forum never talks about them?

[Eric Cartman]

Neil Gaiman is truly a bastard. 

Guy is some horrific sexpest and then this is the female cast of his show

the only thing they fucked up there is that that is suppoed to be his family, and you don't look at that picture and go "Oh, yeah, I see that".
Especially as the internal logic is that they're not human so you see them via your own cultural filters as people you would expect to see where you see them.

I guess I could specifically quibble delirium looking more slutty rock chick groupy than a type, or despair looking like pre-money adele and not morbidly obese lank greasy haired naked and covered in scars DGAF anymore too.

the only memorable post-moore marvelman imo was the spy vs spy story where the longterm intrigues and fuckery of the espionage community couldn't accept a life that didn't involve intrifues and fuckery, so they just gave them their own little perpetual paranoia bubble to do espionage and fuckery in

[Snoopy]

You people should read Moore's books. Jerusalem, Voices of the fire, Illuminations. They're all pretty great.

Nah, I’m pretty sure that instead of anger, I just have a weird sense of sadness that the forum is being led by someone as pathetic as you 😅

Speaking of which, I’m just getting to the point now where I’m realising that I’m just feeling sorry for idiots like VampireHobo and Echoes; whilst any decent mod on any other forum would lock things down pretty quickly and tell them to go seek help, instead these characters are enabled and encouraged on ResetEra, making them slowly worse as they try to one-up themselves each time (case-in-point; Fat4All), all the while B-Dubs and MOBA rub their hands together over getting engagement/content, until it gets to the point where they aren’t useful anymore and they get binned (again, case-in-point; Fat4All)

[kaleidoscopium]

Just read through this thread, and every other thread ostensibly about this game.

To the other comments, I'm not interested in having a fight or trying to win what is a patently unwinnable argument on this site. I'll just say this: the "culture war" is bilateral, and it's disingenuous to claim otherwise.

[Besticus Maximus]

Nobody reads your stupid fucking websites nowadays because you literally cannot tell us when a bad game is bad or when a good game is good anymore without making it all about some tedious internet battle you've invented with your enemies. It's not even like there's anything wrong with or in the game.
