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 881 Views
Which is just as silly, yes. *NM* ironclad - 05/01/2010 08:48:55 PM 398 Views

LOL...~hands Dannymac a clue~ damookster - 06/01/2010 04:51:43 AM 997 Views
Just judging him based on what he writes... Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:17:49 PM 822 Views
the point is... damookster - 06/01/2010 11:25:46 PM 789 Views

trespasses against persons is subjective. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:09:22 AM 844 Views
Actually, it isn't. Tom - 07/01/2010 03:46:30 PM 748 Views
ah I wasn't aware you were referring to a legal term LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:37:10 PM 808 Views
Considering that it's made-up BS, why should it be? Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:01:31 PM 774 Views
what about those not capable of walking away? LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 03:51:10 AM 715 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 966 Views
You are not wrong LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 04:43:55 PM 786 Views
Re: trespasses against persons is subjective. Cannoli - 09/01/2010 11:12:57 PM 795 Views

Civics & economics 101 Cannoli - 10/01/2010 08:47:07 AM 903 Views
okay, I can agree on your points LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:14:32 PM 720 Views
That's not Economics 101. That's practically Anarcho-capitalism. Ghavrel - 13/01/2010 11:54:22 PM 751 Views
Duh. Cannoli - 14/01/2010 03:00:56 AM 749 Views

I'll agree to the trespass against persons imlad - 09/01/2010 06:07:29 PM 806 Views
What bullshit you write. Tom - 10/01/2010 01:30:02 AM 716 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 395 Views
uhm...nothing in nature shares with all. LadyLorraine - 10/01/2010 05:28:04 AM 770 Views
So what you're saying is people shouldn't take movies to heart ? AgentOrange - 06/01/2010 01:39:21 PM 800 Views
That's just the point. Dannymac - 06/01/2010 04:15:48 PM 895 Views
Precisely *NM* ironclad - 06/01/2010 04:45:58 PM 414 Views

would you have felt better if they were albino aliens? LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:16:20 AM 774 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 832 Views
Yes well, it's a habit I picked up from the rest of the posters. LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 05:41:51 PM 868 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 837 Views

That's totally what it is, hah beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:57:10 AM 884 Views
See...that's where I'm different. Jeordam - 08/01/2010 03:33:30 PM 749 Views
I suppose the lesson is to not read about celebrities' politics? beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 06:22:10 PM 655 Views
But that's kind of the point... Jeordam - 08/01/2010 06:51:05 PM 770 Views
Uh oh, you used the "c" word... Dannymac - 08/01/2010 07:47:40 PM 865 Views

You have to admire the world building though LadyLorraine - 07/01/2010 07:27:13 AM 697 Views
Both of you are more or less right beetnemesis - 08/01/2010 08:59:34 AM 712 Views
