Quote: ...I never suspected that this chapter would be as controversial as it apparently is when I read it. Personally, I enjoyed it... but then Vizh did all right in it and the good guys won, so I don't have much to complain about. I really tried to keep it from getting too gross. Quote: While my preference is for light-hearted adventure, I have no problem with darker stuff as long as characters stay true to themselves. For me, that's the problem with what Marvel has been doing this last decade or so. In consistently portraying a dark world with thorny issues, it has forced the heroes to go much darker and be much less effective in reaching resolutions. Dragging the heroes down into a "real" quagmire and getting them all muddy isn't very fun escapism after a while.I don't mind characters facing difficult choices but I think there's then a responsibility to see things through and keep integrity. Quote: That's not what I personally see in this chapter, however. I think the Legion stays pretty true to themselves. They faced a pretty dark situation without going dark themselves. They saved the day in the end, rescuing the children, defeating the terrorists. They took some nasty wounds to do so, but that's the price of being a hero.The Legion has had bad days before. Thinking back though I recall people didn't much enjoy those stories either. i never learn. Quote: As for Icy, well... the story isn't over yet. Perhaps Ian has some plan to resolve what happened (Is he not... the Hooded Hood?) Perhaps if he didn't already, he will now after seeing some reaction. But even if he doesn't, it's still the Parodyverse... It's still a place of miracles, mad science, and impossibilities... and we're all empowered here.There is more story to tell. One of the problems of posting a tale slice by slice is that people react during the "gaps" between sections; on the other hand if I dump it all at once people must get overloaded.
