Eagle Land: Difference between revisions

* ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]'' and its spinoff ''[[To AruA KagakuCertain noScientific Railgun]]'' are somewhat ambiguous in their view of America s; the majority of the plot tends to occur in Japan, England and the continents in between the two. While the Americans are occasionally referenced as the "World Police," it's not made clear whether this is positive or negative in context until the ''Railgun SS Liberal Arts City'', which presents America as being obsessed with their status as the World Police to the point they're ready to go to some pretty atrocious lengths to gain power comparable to Academy City. The majority of the civilians in the short story are also portrayed as none totoo bright, thinking that very real threats are nothing more than performances. This is further muddled by the fact that the story takes place in a "city" that is essentially a movie studio theme park (think MGM) [[Turned Up to Eleven]] that is ultimately revealed to {{spoiler|have been explicitly created for the purpose of allowing the American forces to carry out their battles with a magical cabal and acquire their power without the populace realizing it}}. A mixed bag overall.
