>>95632546This was a first introduction. The slide show was coming next. his first introduction, and the one he uses to convince clark, shouldn't be any less gray than "fuck this shit is fucked up."
the way the story frames it, leaving him mad at the kid, it sets it so he sees a child that was afraid of an outsider getting his family killed is the irredeemable one.
Showing him that people, truly irredeemable refuse, like some of the shit in Gotham to then show the massive atrocities that even make their body counts look small committed by "normal" men is a good way to make a comparison.
Not comparing a single, selfish, child to the holocaust.
And I'm not saying that from a butt hurt stance. I don't mind those comparisons. Just it doesn't seem to be any more effective in the story than a much less black or white scenario.
Though, again, I don't think it ruins the issue. it was a nice sequence. I just think it could have even been better executed by having Jor-El face t face with the Warlord asking why he's a piece of shit before manhattan takes him away to say "this is human nature, peep the powerpoint."
