Judge Dredd (comics)/YMMV

"Walter The Wobot: That cweep Judge Dwedd has just been here, shooting guns and waising hell. Control: You're mistaken, robot. There's no Judge Dwedd on the force. Walter The Wobot: Not Judge Dwedd. Walter say Judge Dwedd."
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: "GAZE INTO THE FIST OF DREDD!"
 * He would later go on to be blinded, beaten, and in constant pain... and still crawled on towards his destination. "Because you are a Judge. AND IT IS YOUR DUTY."
 * Again more recently, when after decades of genetic apartheid, he forced the government of Mega-City One to allow mutants to be citizens, despite the damage this did to his career and the social strife... because something being hard didn't mean it wasn't the right thing to do.
 * Cwowning Moment of Funny: From "The Day The Law Died,"


 * Growing the Beard: "The Cursed Earth" is the story where the world really comes together, and was the first of the epic stories that lasted about half a year.
 * Harsher in Hindsight: One villain in an early story (from 1977) destroys the World Trade Center.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: The Democracy Now quote at the top of the page seems a lot less like a convincing argument since Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, rescued a woman from a mugging that he happened upon while cycling past . It seems an elected representative can work just fine.
 * Lawful Neutral: Dredd himself, but apparently this is debated in some quarters.
 * Magnificent Bastard: PJ Maybe.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Dredd, on orders from above, crosses the moral event horizon to pretty much terrorize pro-democracy organizers in order to ruin a planned peaceful demonstration against the Judge system. The biggest moment of which is when he threatens to take the son of a man whose pro-democracy wife Dredd killed, and who was set to speak at the rally, and hand him over to the academy to turn him into a Judge (via indoctrination that borders on outright brainwashing) unless he denounces the rally and no-shows it.
