Humans Are the Real Monsters: Difference between revisions

Line 101:

* Zigzagged in ''[[Crossed]]'', whose moral seems to be that while we are ''not'' all bastards, we all have the ''potential'' to be bastards, with the protagonist pointing out that however [[Complete Monster|horrible]] the [[Not Using the Zed Word|Infected]] are, they never do anything that ordinary humans cannot also do. Surprisingly thought-provoking, given that this is a series that's pretty much nothing but [[Gorn]].

** The two sequel series (be afraid...) rather confirm this, each having a non-infected human that gives the Crossed a run for their money in the sick bastard department, without the excuse of having caught a psycho-virus.

* In Peyo's original "King Smurf" comic, later [[The Smurfs (animation)| adapted for the cartoon]], the plot entails Papa Smurf leaving to look for rare ore, and another smurf [[Adaptational Villainy| (Brainy in the animated version)]] taking over as leader, then becoming [[Drunk with Power]] and becoming a cruel tyrant. This leads to a rebellion among roughly half the smurfs and a civil war between the two factions that nearly destroys the village until Papa Smurf comes back, and after finding out what happened, shames them all into realizing that they're the idiots they are with six words: "You've been acting like human beings!" [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped| The moral could not have been clearer]]; this side of humanity is something that the peace-loving smurfs have always despised.
