Debate and Switch: Difference between revisions

* The second season of ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' raised some serious questions about how much power a league of superheroes should be allowed to have, and whether or not the U.S. government was justified in trying to restrain them, but those questions were more or less pushed aside when it turned out that {{spoiler|Lex Luthor was secretly provoking the conflict with sinister intentions... and ''Brainiac'' was manipulating ''Lex'' the entire time. [[Word of God]] admits that this was due to not wanting to come off as too much of an [[Author Tract]]... considering ''Civil War'', it's hard not to say they may have had a point. At the least, they had Green Arrow try to provide an 'answer'.}}.

** The last season of the series shows the League has been given military garrison and regularly has checks from members of the US Government now, and the members of the group agreed they need limitations (like the not keeping a super-zappo-laser on the Watchtower). So yeah, the show didn't skirt the issue and found a reasonable solution - [[Creator Provincialism|at least for the Americans.]]

* [[South Park]] is pretty fond of its [[Spoof Aesop]]s and its [[Straw Hypocrite]]s. The episode can be 20 minutes of straight up [[Flame Bait]], but once Stan's given his "I've learned something today..." speech, the story pretty much succumbs to the [[Rule of Funny]].
