* [[Broken Aesop]]: [http://www.theouthousers.com/forum/the-news-stand/flashpoint-friday-death-solves-all-problems-t65368.html Sean Ryan] [[Word of God|intended]] for the ''Grodd Of War'' oneshot to be an allegory for how the Western world doesn't care about what happens in Africa in terms of all the needless deaths taking place there, and have Grodd be the mouthpiece... but this is undercut by the fact that ''Grodd himself'' was the one who killed the vast majority of them. In the story he's pissed that Cyborg or Captain Thunder (any heavy hitter really) is too busy with the European War to try to stop him. Grodd wants attention because he thinks his campaign is too easy and unchallenging to him, he probably expected the world's superheroes to try to band up against '''him''' and didn't expect the events in Europe to completely overshadow him like it has. For some readers, the attempt to apply a moral and real world comparisons to it fell pretty flat.
