Tommy Bones has many secrets
This, who hasn’t traumatized a few orphans by conscripting them into a brutal alien warlord’s military and emotionally abusing them before? It’s an honest mistake! Smh, next Catra will start making up insane words like ‘gaslighting’!
Daddy Pavel always delivers 🥵
The character is Moon Knight, it’s a popular meme to change his dialogue into crazy, unhinged rambling. Not sure what issue or comic.
Sure, but that could be said for any media, and saying that superheroes as a whole are just pro-cop propaganda is way over the line of what is a reasonable interpretation. I’m not even a big superhero guy and I recognize that. Shit, a big part of a lot of these superheroes is that the cops aren’t their friends and are part of the reason why they hide their identity.
5·1 year agoA terrible oversight on the designer’s part!
28·1 year agoWhen he says “I’m an old leftie” in Justice League Unlimited it makes me feel all warm and red inside.
Here in the US, law enforcement escalates to force far more often than they encounter someone who is already aggressive, so it raises a question why villains in comics so consistently engage first?
… because superheroes aren’t cops?
This is not in any way a normal reaction to a image of a woman in a catsuit called Black Cat singing showtunes from the musical Cats.
Take your hangups somewhere else.
It still instills a dynamic that the best way to solve disputes is by force
How often is it that superheroes start the violence? Or are you suggesting that smiling as your teeth are knocked down your throat should be the reaction, here?
and that some parts of the public are undesirable by fiat.
… given the predilection of comics for redemption arcs, antiheroes, the struggle of being different, and the fucking X-Men, I’m gonna have to press X to doubt on that.
Given the current affairs of the US in which half our federal officials are trying to outlaw trans folk, I’m hyper-aware that this is a bad message to give.
You’re hyperaware that a message that isn’t being sent is bad. Okay. I’m very aware that Teletubbies advocating genocide is bad. Good thing that’s not at all relevant.

Alright but 99% of my memories of superheroes as a kid weren’t them fighting crime, but them fighting supervillains, which is generally the main draw for kids.
… you might be reading too much into a silly superhero. He fights a man with mechanical tentacles named ‘Doctor Octopus’. He has an enemy who is literally just a stage magician called ‘Mysterio’. There are several animal-people. One villain is literally made out of sand.
It’s… generally not that deep.
The two characters are from She-Ra, a cartoon with LGBT representation. The flag is the lesbian pride flag, I think.
No clue, I’m afraid! I downloaded it a long time ago, it looks like.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice… can’t get fooled again!
