Why can’t I have anything nice 
Yup especially the Watchmen show,
spoiler
my only big gripe with the Watchmen HBO show was that Lady Trieu was le eveel big bad all along and has god delusions!!! Like her turning a room of racist power hungry KKK league of doom wannabees into jelly was fucking awesome
put my feelings I have about a lot of media into words. TyIt’s one of my least favourite tropes.
GOOD article.
Yeah the ending doesn’t go that far into lib shit

more or less Liaos creates a more benevolent kingdom in which he tries to integrate everyone together and is home to often abused species such as the Orcs and Kobolds in the after credits pages, also apparently magic/mana is more readily available in the atmosphere and the elves have no idea if this is a good or bad thing (I’d say good maybe as it allows more magic to the races but it isn’t truly spelled out?)
I love Laios, I really do, but he’s the last person to be giving a lecture like that. At least according to his trajectory as a character. He’s not invested in the politics of the world and hasn’t done the level of research Marcille has. It just feels off.
I hate fiction where magic is considered too dangerous to solve systemic problems. Like it’s an antagonistic force in the world that’s only good for warfare. It’s a natural force in most settings, making the mistrust seem so strange.
Like in this setting, the mad mage made mistakes, but they want to throw it all out.
What about fiction where magic doesn’t solve systemic problems because it’s part of the world and affected by the same systemic problems? Looking at you, Ursula.
