thing is, today it's the fasion to make your villians more grey, give them reasons to be they way they are. In their POV they are the good guys.
Even the lame Sandman from Spidey 3 had something to do with his daughter that I can't recall.

I don't completely agree, but this is similar to everyone retroactively hating Tom Cruise's movies. Zalis - 05/01/2010 08:47:19 PM 840 Views
Which is just as silly, yes. *NM* ironclad - 05/01/2010 08:48:55 PM 381 Views

LOL...~hands Dannymac a clue~ damookster - 06/01/2010 04:51:43 AM 951 Views
Just judging him based on what he writes... Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:17:49 PM 788 Views
the point is... damookster - 06/01/2010 11:25:46 PM 753 Views

trespasses against persons is subjective. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:09:22 AM 810 Views
Actually, it isn't. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:46:30 PM 708 Views
ah I wasn't aware you were referring to a legal term LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:37:10 PM 769 Views
Considering that it's made-up BS, why should it be? Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:01:31 PM 739 Views
what about those not capable of walking away? LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 03:51:10 AM 672 Views
Who has the right to say a parent is abusing the child, and what prevents abuses the other way? Cannoli - 10/01/2010 09:13:45 AM 920 Views
You are not wrong LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:43:55 PM 747 Views
Re: trespasses against persons is subjective. Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:12:57 PM 758 Views

Civics & economics 101 Cannoli - 10/01/2010 08:47:07 AM 862 Views
okay, I can agree on your points LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:14:32 PM 673 Views
That's not Economics 101. That's practically Anarcho-capitalism. Ghavrel - 13/01/2010 11:54:22 PM 708 Views
Duh. Cannoli - 14/01/2010 03:00:56 AM 705 Views

I'll agree to the trespass against persons imlad - 09/01/2010 06:07:29 PM 764 Views
What bullshit you write. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:30:02 AM 681 Views
He's such a parody of himself, one wonders if he's not a fake identity created by rightists. *NM* LiterateDog - 10/01/2010 05:14:31 AM 376 Views
uhm...nothing in nature shares with all. LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:28:04 AM 732 Views
So what you're saying is people shouldn't take movies to heart ? AgentOrange - 06/01/2010 01:39:21 PM 768 Views
That's just the point. Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:15:48 PM 860 Views
Precisely *NM* ironclad - 06/01/2010 04:45:58 PM 397 Views

would you have felt better if they were albino aliens? LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:16:20 AM 731 Views
You really have a habit of missing the point of my posts in the name of snide remarks. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:47:36 PM 791 Views
Yes well, it's a habit I picked up from the rest of the posters. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:41:51 PM 825 Views
It's just simplistic. Like a Disney movie, but no songs. What really bugs me is that the Company beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:48:32 AM 800 Views

That's totally what it is, hah beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:57:10 AM 840 Views
See...that's where I'm different. Jeordam - 08/01/2010 03:33:30 PM 714 Views
I suppose the lesson is to not read about celebrities' politics? beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 06:22:10 PM 609 Views
But that's kind of the point... Jeordam - 08/01/2010 06:51:05 PM 736 Views
Uh oh, you used the "c" word... Dannymac - 08/01/2010 07:47:40 PM 824 Views

You have to admire the world building though LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:27:13 AM 655 Views
Both of you are more or less right beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:59:34 AM 673 Views
