>No, you see I like it by completely ignoring all the major philosophical and political aspectsIt's capeshit, anon, capeshit. It's a comic book. A funnybook. About a cop in future US dealing with muties and ghosts. With gags and 10 page stories. It's not deep. It's not profound or intellectual. It's meant to be a simple release for 5, 10, 20, 60 minutes. People have jobs and other things that give their life meaning. There are actual books about philosophy and politics you can read. I don't care what, go read Das Kapital if that's your thing, it'll still be more intellectually stimulating and worthier than Judge blooddy Dredd.
>and intent behind the work Oh dear Lord, how can I ignore the politics of some Brits whose profession is "comic book artist". It's about on the same level as ignoring Von Braun...
>and instead forcefully choose to look at it through the most simplistic and narrow surface level reading as possible in order to enjoy it. Sure, more or less, yeah, I take it at face value.
>It’d be ironic except I genuinely agree with all the ideas being ridiculed at the core of the story, Eh, it's capeshit, not a political declaration. I just enjoy the style and narrative.
>so it’s like a mental sadomasochist porn for me. No, it's more like enjoying a simple action flick or vidya. I don't enjoy it /because/ of the ridicule, I enjoy it /despite/ the ridicule.
>And that’s why I get to act all smug, because it takes a special kind of person to jump through dozens of mental hoops in order to dismiss everything that gives the story substance in order to enjoy the work.I'm not jumping through any hoops. All I'm doing is telling you that yes, I get your "brilliant" and "subtle" satire and subtext. And no, it doesn't stop me from enjoying the book.
You can call me an evil, disgusting monster or whatever else you think of me. All I'm saying is that I'm not a moron. but apparently you are, considering the replies...
