[QUOTE="Felon, post: 2152981, member: 8158"] Well, that is part of the trick. The Authority is a tight-knit family of cold-blooded, homocidal idealists, and the people they fight are just that much worse. If you buy into moral relativism, the Authority are a great bunch of guys. But, when Midnighter strips down a renegade doctor, hangs him up, pulverizes him, applies electrical shocks, etc, the fact that he enjoys it makes him a bit of a pig, and that's not mitigated a great deal by the evilness of his victim. Well, stop the presses: someone on the Internet has dismissed another person's remarks out-of-hand. He's got interviews posted on the web. He has a website, go read a few of his rants. He wears his disdain for the superhero genre on his sleeve and openly tells interviewers that he plans to get as far away from them as he can while still making a comfortable living. I certainly will agree that it is important to be able to separate the author from the work, which is why I still enjoy a lot of Byrne's stories and artwork. Many highly creative and talented people were horrible human beings. Hmm. You've got serious blinders on if you don't think Ellis has a special place in his heart for the United States Government. He didn't kick down the president of France's door and toss him to his likely demise through a portal to Iraq. He didn't have Tony Blair kill off former members of Stormwatch for no particular reason. [/QUOTE]
