It's the Day's Day of Days! Because robot, assume my social obligations for me.
It's funny when Muir trots out the magitech bullshit that will let his cast fight their strong-weak foes but not be killing people, because not only will Muir demonstrate his ignorance, arrogance and shoddy writing, but the entire desire underlines the pathetic place the strip lives in now. Always promising the bloody acts of righteous violence, and pulling back because on some level Muir knows they aren't righteous at all. Just repulsive.
It does legitimately surprise me at this point that Muir never has the characters go on the constantly teased mass murder rampage. Heaven knows his readers want to see it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, killings happen but almost always offscreen. (And when they are onscreen, bloodlessly.) By and large, the compound's foes get treated like Looney Tune characters. As I noted, on some level Muir realizes when he crosses that line, you can't go back.
