Are you referring to The Legend of Rah and the Muggles? That was found to be bullshit the second people read the book. It’s an extremely weird story about nuclear fallout, talking animals, and a shit ton of meandering filler. The only similarity was use of the word “muggle”, which doesn’t even mean the same thing in both stories. JK may be a TERF now, but she is not a plagiarist.
In history, sure, the idea deserves criticism. But in fiction this archetype is called a protagonist and its very different to tell a story without at least one. Is Sherlock Holmes an example of Great Man theory? Most people are not as gifted as he is. What about Robin Hood? I’d argue that these characters share a lot of traits with Batman and Green Arrow respectively, so why is one ok but not the other?
As for the status quo thing, I honestly don’t know what to do about that from a storytelling perspective. “Guy who shoots lasers decides to enact social reform” is an odd pitch.
Supervillains consider themselves to be superior to the common masses. Superheroes don’t see it that way. They see their power as a tool to help those who weren’t as lucky as them. The superpower lottery is a vehicle to tell the story. The moral is about how those powers are used.
Not everyone who dies becomes a ghost. Ghosts are people who can’t pass on due to having unfinished business.
No one here is talking about how the woman in the picture looks the same in both photos? Am I missing something?
You can’t call something a graphic novel if it’s only one page long though, so what do you call it?
Thus proving her point.
Because it kills everything you put it in? I don’t know how to tell you that you’re supposed to care about other people.
WHAT THE FUCK
This is gonna get worse
before it gets better.
Team Magma is at it again.
See my other comment. I’ve also edited my original one for clarity.
My phrasing is not good, but my point is supposed to be that the idea of a female Pope isn’t so far fetched that “wokeness” is the only explanation for depicting one. The idea of Joanna is popular enough to be depicted in the works of art generative AI shamelessly plagiarized trains on, therefore it shouldn’t be a surprise.
I will edit my original comment to make this more clear.
Including a woman pope
A woman was pope.* Thanks Persona 5 for teaching me that.
Never go full Mel Gibson.
You’ve got to share the link.
They should change nothing and say that they got rid of it. It’s not like these people are smart enough to tell the difference.
That is literally a swastika.
Super villains are usually trying to take over the world or rob banks and shit. That’s like saying Jeffery Dahmer was just trying to have a snack.
