I was amazed that this movie with its deeply-conservative themes got made. It's terrific, and the animation is way beyond incredible.
Just wondering why #4 was removed. That was a real line from the movie, about how villians sometimes aren't make-believe, but are really out to get you. I thought instantly of al-queda, et. al., and I think most of the theater did, too.
Saw it last night. What a fun film for the whole family!
Vigilantism would be more closely associated with conservatives than liberals, I think. Modern comic book writers really have to jump through hoops to try to force their characters into their desired liberal mold.
Entirely wrong approach to take--when I create characters, I create them, and their politic leanings come from their personality and beliefs; I don't force them into my political leanings. Superman would be one of the very few liberal superheroes out there, but that's because he essentially believes that only he should have the power.
