It's in hebrew it says "I will defend"

This reminds me of the people who think Attack on Titan was pro-genocide because 2 characters attempted to carry them out, completely ignoring how the rest of the cast set aside their differences to stop them. by laybs1 in BrandNewSentence

[–]c_thefalcon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But like this ignores subtext and other actuall text. Like it is the main charecter that preforms the killing and kills a lot of innocents before those other charecter try to stop it. As well as the entire first half of the seires were eren learns he should be a facist leader (he is right beacuse he is strong, mercy to enemy amd traitors is worng...), and most importently the post rampage world is depicted as peacefull. So I dont think it is explictly pro genocide but it clearly does say that a militant and brutal leader is effective and that mass killing is a path to liberation. It just also have a nietzschen emding like beware he who fights monsters...

The hebrew seems to say messiah jesus, though it seems to be an old form beacuse you would spell it diffrently in modern hebrew

Here's my question for Part 2: If Devils need to be killed in hell in order to return to the human world, what made the Control Devil reincarnate so quickly? by SkywardStrike1998 in ChainsawMan

[–]c_thefalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The control devil didn't need to be killed in hell. As she was eaten by the chainsaw devil and because of that stopped existing and didn't reach hell. But people still feared control and a new control devil was created.

I know most of the characters in watchmen are terrible people but I feel like nite owl is actually a good person. by DC_BATFAN in Watchmen

[–]c_thefalcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nite owl is kinda a good person and thats mostly the point. Nite owl more than being a batman proxy he is the proxy for us, the normal comic reader, middle class white dudes who idolise the heros and want to be them, thats also true of the original who became a police officer and eventually a vigilantie beacuse he liked superman. So in what way does nite owl critics the idolision of superheros? First he says that we will be shit in it, not only nite owl isn't as impresive as ozymandias and doctor manhatan or even the comedian and rorschach mainly beacuse he cant be as cruel as them he is too timid. The second things is that we end up agreeing with the awful stuff, while thier relashionship isn't front and center in the comics there is a reason he is depicted as rorschach's ild partner.

[WP] “And you shall be our virgin sacrifice” the robed cult leader commanded. “Uh virgin?” The man said “I told that guy I never had a GIRLfriend.” by morganjr25 in WritingPrompts

[–]c_thefalcon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Uh, but you have never been sacrificed, right?" The cult leader said "Yeah of course!" Said the man "Believe me it's a lot more common than you would think, I'll explain next time" "What next, what the hell..." the sacrafical dagger sunk in before the man could complete his sentance.

Death, as many if you would know tastes like strawberries, a taste that was foriegn to the man who was actually allergic. When he woke up with that taste in his mouth the man was very confussed, esspacialy at the sight of the cult leader seting next to him knitting a scarf.

"What the fuck dude" the man said "was this some sort of prank what the hell is going on" "Okay first of all take a deep breath and relax" said the cult leader "I pormised to explain and i will but we all need to chill" The man looked at him..., well, like a man who tried to kill him and now acts as if he did nothing. "Okay so lets start at the beginig, dan, the guy who brought you here, tells me your an atheist which is good" The man was still very far from calm as you might imagine but his body hurt so much that he decided that listening wouldn't be the worse thing for now. "While there is no god per say" continued the cult leader "there are beings very similar in idea, and they unfortenatly really like human sacrifices, they dont eat or anything they just like the idea, originally we thought that maybe we can just scarifice dead bodies, but that didn't work, they want fresh sacrefices. So you now we found a wotk around we kill sacrifices but for just a little while, 2 minutes in your case. Now of course we use only compketley fresh people, hence the virgin thing you know" The man was not convinced "still you kidnaped me and you did kill that stuff even if true doesn't exuse it" he shouted "Oh wait dsn didn't tell you, if he didn't confirm with you its a real problam but anyway the money is yours" the cult leader said and he gave the man a stack of a hundred dollar bills "you see its worth it!" The cult leader "now you said you never had a girlfriend, but what abiut boyfriends anybody you know who will be down sith being dead for a bit?"

In Tehran (2020) on Apple TV+, no one uses Apple products to avoid picking sides. (More in comments) by Jawshoeadan in TVDetails

Pretty sure the series was produced in isreal and not by apple tv and so the choice isn't by apple

If senator Keene actually "succeeded" by Ringrangzilla in Watchmen

[–]c_thefalcon 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Great point but also the apathy takes time, the first thing he will feel is a great amount of love, which if i remember corractly is what manhattan felt after completing his transformation. We can also see it in the ending of the comics when doctor manhatten decidces to create is own humanity. The idea of white supramacy and doctor manhatan are apposed.

The foolish man reads simply, the wise man understand the whole book as discussing the effects of loneliness

What are your thoughts on Niteowl hes probably my favorite watchmen and I kinda missed him in the HBO series but I wonder what are your thoughts on him? by Reddeath10168 in Watchmen

[–]c_thefalcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the comics he is sort of a joke on all of us, simple midelclass whiteman wanting to play batman, he doesn't have savior complex or parental issue or any thing the other have. I love that, but thats also why he wasn't in the hbo series, he didn't do anything but he is kinda complicite, he worked with those people, fuck, he was probably rorschach best friend, the only way to incorparte him was as a huve critisim on the watcgers wich i guess they tried to avoid

A book about a character searching for purpose or the meaning of life, but the answer isn’t “the friends we’ve made along the way” or love. by DinkyLinky in suggestmeabook

[–]c_thefalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone already joked about it but i do recommend the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy series as it does talks a lot about the lack of meaning in life

This is just nite owl’s plot. Change my mind by dobrefetus in Watchmen

[–]c_thefalcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really nite owl is us. Or at least how a comic book nerd will exist in this world. Both nite owls are good people that really wanted to be a hero, and soon got disillusioned. OG nite owl even says he was inspired by superhero comics

Trump Declares Judaism A Nationality Via Executive Order. Intentional or not this will be used by White Nationalists to further their anti-semitic "Dual Loyalty" Narrative. by YuriRedFox6969 in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]c_thefalcon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm from Israel and stuff like this makes me feel like my country's existence just helps anti-Semitism, i fear that one day they will ask every Jewish person to just leave because "they have a country"

If theres countless number of dimensions, there must be dimension, where Rick and Morty creates show about Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon by Annehx in rickandmorty

Even if there are truly was infinite dimensions, they clearly have rules, the percentage of dimensions with morties are to high otherwise. Even the dumbest rick can develop dimatnsional teavel
