I thought a thread on the continued relevence of Kingdom Come would be interesting, if we can put away the memes for a second.

Magog killing the Joker, and being aquitted, reflects a more realistic view of the 'pragmatic' way to resolve his endless sprees. But, of course, it also reflects a discussion we are always having. (It's also interesting how they had Injustice play out, and the implication that it's just as much self-hatred fueling Regime Superman, but that's another topic.)

On that same note, how heroes in a certain comic house are largely "...progeny of the past, inspired by the legends of those who came before... if not the morals."

So many legacy characters, and so many of them all flash and power, with little to no likable traits. Most recently Riri invading a country. The entire Civil War 2 plotline, and to be fair the first, too. I'm not going to bully Marvel; while I feel DC is doing it less, and less obnoxiously when they do, you only have to look at the lifting up of Harley, and the majority of the New 52.
