Family-Unfriendly Aesop: Difference between revisions

** Most importantly, the entire pro-registration side (which [[Word of God]] essentially pointed to as being "right") consisted of a bunch of complete bastards who actively committed incredibly immoral acts in the name of their goals, freely interacted with villains, and were willing to fight with lethal force. Several of them were written out of character to be more evil, and were led by the most jerktastic version of [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]] ever to be written (which is quite a feat). Meanwhile, the anti-registration people were led by Captain America (who is consistently upheld to be one of the most morally upright characters and ''the'' most reliable moral barometer in the Marvel Universe), generally acted in a far more "heroic" manner, had a stance that echoed the "correct" viewpoint of 30+ years worth of Marvel continuity, were led by Captain America (who is consistently upheld to be the most reliable moral barometer in the Marvel Universe), ''and'' acted on beliefs ("government isn't always right," "persecution is wrong," and "sometimes, you have to fight for what you believe in") that would FAR more accurately reflect those of the target reading audience (ie, young males). There's almost ''nothing'' within the actual context of the story that would imply the reader was even ''remotely'' supposed to see the pro-registration group as being in the right.
