The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

I think you're giving comic book readers way too much credit. Zach Snyder 100% believes he got the message of the movie right, based on his genuine love for the comic book.

And he's hardly alone. Moore has said, for years, that people come up to him and say that Rorschach is their favorite comic book hero and that they aspire to be more like him. (Moore, wisely, retreats into his beard like a turtle into its shell at this point.)

lol, this reminds me of Aaron Rodgers going as John Wick for Halloween because "he's my hero..."

Eh. Even Moore hasn't said that's the majority of readers. Definitely there are too many who miss the point. We're agreed there.

If you compare the movie to the comic, the increase in sex appeal and in excitement/fun in the action scenes is obvious. Glaring, even.

And for the actual purpose...

When I first read a book on warfare in the ancient world I was kind of shocked by how important firepower was even in the era of phalanxes, and how much the analysts focused on it. Slings and bows were already dominant. Melee was secondary, even though much more important than it is nowadays. Projection of force over distance is an enormous advantage.

Is it baffling to anyone else that when an expert in a field tells people they're wrong, they still feel the need to argue? Because it's baffling to me. Not in cases where there are multiple experts who disagree, rather an expert and laypeople. The chance of the expert being right is far, far higher than the chance of the layperson being right. Let it go, you're just wrong.

I theoretically like the idea of widespread solar power, but I'd be worried that we're going to drain the sun. And what will we do then? Wander around in the dark?

Though, I imagine by then we'll have stored up enough of the sun's energy to power a few thousand years of flashlights...

Never. A little closer to "home" as it were.

I can still see some light through the gaps. Needs more panels!
