FROM THE DESK OF
ROSE LALONDE
Mr. A was inspired by Objectivism, the belief system and moral absolutism of the philosopher-novelist Ayn Rand. Ditko has been quoted as saying that his creation The Question was intended as a version of Mr. A that would be acceptable to the Comics Code Authority.
The lefty as-hell Alan Moore would have known all about where The Question came from. There is no doubt in my mind he would have instinctively loathed Mr. A; the yearning objectivist who asked questions that shouldn’t be asked can come across as a conspiracy nutcase, depending on the circumstances. And that was the aspect of the character that Moore leached onto. He set to work dragging Ditko’s right-wing creation through the slime as a dysfunctional conspiracy nutcase, hobo who couldn’t remember to bathe.
I’ll give credit where it’s due. He stayed true to the core of a character that he didn’t create. And I will also grant that Alan Moore invented the deconstruction of superheroes. Martial Law, the Snyderverse, Brightburn, MiRaClEman, The Boys, Alan Moore is the one that opened the door for this cliche that is as hideous, godawful, and morally bankrupt as the men who create it.
Destroying heroism has always been the dream of Wormwood and his Uncle Screwtape. The methods for doing so are rhetoric disguised as dialectic (The Golden Compass) scientific proof (psychological technobabble) and art (Alan Moore comics). Yet, it always comes to nothing. Sure, it gets good reviews from Goodreads, and people like Kevin Smith go on at length over how brilliant it is. But at the end of the day, no one reads something like Watchman more than once.
But the story of a well-written hero will always enthrall.
Just like Rorschach, the one Alan Moore hates the most.

>>146397>Words words words but never actually talks about the SMURFING content of the comic because it's always the abstract of why deconstructions are bad and stories of heroism of good with layman rhetorical prose merely masquerading as some organic defense of high culture VGH, remember The Odyssey™? Now THAT was writing. Uh,
SMURF Hamlet though.

I really pity your intellectual integrity. Then again, Nazis can't help but apply the same level of critical thinking they apply to their political beliefs to all facets of life. THE FRIEND. THE ENEMY. IGNORE STRUCTURE, IGNORE NUANCE, IGNORE SYMBOLISM. THE MAN IS POLITICALLY AGAINST ME!!!!!!!!!

And I've heard enough blubbering about "nuance" from Russia apologists who want to defend an ongoing genocide (actual genocide, not fake genocide like the holohoax).

"Hu¢¢ie has outsourced the return of the MSPA Forums to a group of fans and given them a license–they get to sell merch and their fanworks, and give him a significant cut of the money in exchange.
The actually important part of that is, obviously, the FORUMS part. They're back. Time to sign up. If I don't see these forums become as active as this dicsord I'll ping everyone every day until morale improves.
https://www.fruityrumpus.com/sign-upNotes: this is the first signup form I've seen where all pronouns/birthday/description fields are mandatory, so if your signup fails, makes sure to fill those in.
