Yes, ...Thanks for reading, and glad you enjoyed it. Yes, V for Vendetta is a remarkable work. Although V dances essentially on the edge of terrorism, we root for him as the regime he fights is so oppressive and draconian. I did feel major sympathy for Eve in the book.<br />It'd be fascinating to know how a modern (often politically allied) media would deal with a vigilante such as V if he were real. Or indeed other vigilante.<br />Thought Marvel addressed aspects of the question surprisingly well in Civil War (comic version) which made a good third Captain America film. Namely with super powered vigilantes the state would seek to regulate/licence them in some way.Ross M Kitsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328214670002553096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-85247434696905144562017-04-26T14:09:19.471-04:002017-04-26T14:09:19.471-04:00Thanks for reading and commenting.
That sense of ...Thanks for reading and commenting. <br />That sense of wish fulfilment seems imprinted at an early age, with that emulation of the rebelliousness of vigilantism- almost a rebellion against an establishment of law that our parents are surrogates for. Here we have idols who don't do what society tells them... and are cool, driven by a moral almost higher than the rest of us.Ross M Kitsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328214670002553096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-28911432523929363272017-04-26T09:40:58.020-04:002017-04-26T09:40:58.020-04:00oh I LOVE THIS POST SO MUCH :)
Leave it to cluele...oh I LOVE THIS POST SO MUCH :) <br />Leave it to clueless, Dory brain me not to know V for Vendetta is a book! I loved the movie so I just added it to GR!. <br />I agree we have a fascination with vigilantes and that is born of need of justice. History has shown that power tends to concentrate. The most power you have the more you get and people with power are often not that kind. So the oppressed always hoped, wished and dreamed of a superpower, superhero or vigilante to avenge them Dragonfly @ Our Familiariumhttp://www.ourfamiliarium.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-22153966536674077632017-04-26T09:37:39.609-04:002017-04-26T09:37:39.609-04:00I think you're right, it's all about wish ...I think you're right, it's all about wish fulfillment. Which heroes we want to emulate depends on our darkest wish and what we think justice should look like. Some fight for big ideals (Superman's trust, justice, American Way, etc), some want to fight discrimination through punching and eye lasers (X-Men), some have very personal, single-minded vengeance in mind (The Crow). It's what we think is important to us.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cdgallantking.ca/2017/04/v-vancouver-beer-parlours.html" rel="nofollow">V - Vancouver Beer Parlous</a>C.D.
