How do you handle evil?

[le Redoutable]

Yes, as I have stated several times.

Yes, but I consider Neutral it's own alignment and not as a transitionary period between Good and Evil or as a balancing act between Good and Evil actions. I'm not really sure what point you are making though, care to expound a bit?

no no, it's just a lol

 

[Hand of Evil]

Evil is different from environment to environment, it is fluid. It is cultural taboos; it is anti-gods of the land. If you are in an evil land, being evil is a good thing and is reflected as such. While being good is an evil thing.

For the fourth (?) time, I don't know the 16 year old version of the Punisher you are describing. I'm more familiar with the Netflix show. So, much like the Captain America who was "anti-Jap" isn't the modern version people refer to, the character you are describing is not the one I'm referencing.

Going by the movies isn't the best way to assess ANY of the heroes or villains. The movies change things from the comic books. It's the comic books that established who the various heroes and villains are.

 

[Maxperson]

Then that means you're both right?

I don't know. Even going by the show, I don't see how someone who walks around murdering criminals is different from someone who walks around murdering prostitutes or blonds. They're all serial killers. Those are evil in my book.

I disagree, and after having spent 20+ hours with him, I am quite confident I can assess that version of the character. Saying that no one can understand Superman without doing a literary analysis of the last 80 years of comics is quite the gatekeeping claim.

In my experience the best solution to “it’s what my player would do” is to do the same thing to the player. “The paladin NPC is just playing his alignment, the thieves guild are just upset that you’ve committed so many crimes they are helping the paladin, your bad for business, “. After all. It’s what law enforcement and the mafia would do. Consequences good and bad will usually fix any player behavior problems.

Superman would be a multiple personality with at least 10 persona’s if you analyzed him from beginning to now. I don’t think A literary analysis of a character rewritten to a different person every. Decade or at least new writer could be accurate. You’d have to analyze each iteration. The 1940’s Superman is not the 2022 Superman. But then How many Batman’s have we had?

This is true and is a much better argument. Hollywood, though, bastardizes pretty much everything they get their hands on. You can't go by what you see Hollywood writers put down in a script.

... and I'm sure Marvel Fans would have loved to see their classic comics in an adaptation to Cinema !
( I mean, with fidelity to the original scenario )
