For what it’s worth, the planes hit before the majority of the stockbrokers came in, so it was mostly maintenance workers and other non-ghouls.

America still deserved 9/11.

Was watching a video about why anime and manga are universally loved while American comic books and associated media pretty much are only popular in the states. One of the points that resonated with me was about how American comics will often denigrate and villainize races of people, and how people in different countries don’t want to watch media about how they’re terrorists, drug cartel members, etc.

I think about that a lot. Especially when it comes to things like this.

Manga isn’t just superhero

My point was that manga and anime aren’t cursed with American “politics” like the above either.

Like it or not, manga and anime have a wide appeal because they are widely appealing. Messages are universal and are presented in ways that are universally understood.

What exactly is the message in this panel? How does this appeal to anyone except for Americans? Even then, americans have a problem with it because it doesn’t even make sense for the character.

American comics have always done this kind of stuff; where self aggrandizing authors fellate themselves by writing in real life politics without offering any of the actual nuance people would normally afford a political piece.

In the end you get stuff like this, racist depictions of Asians, islamophobia, and the likes and no actual message beyond the current propaganda line.

American media gets to appeal only to Americans and everything else needs to have a ‘worldwide’ appeal that happens include America heavily in consideration as if there’s some sort of cultural hegemony or something

This is liberalism distilled.

Couldn’t even bother showing one of them actually helping. All these people who have higher body counts then this need to do to be relevant here is be sad for a few seconds.

Dr. Doom would do 9/11 but bigger and more complicated. Also with robots and magic

Also hasn’t Magneto attempted genocide, like, several times?

I’d be surprised if that hasn’t been done in a storyline at least once over the years. But Magneto was a terrorist in the past. The first issue if i remember right is basically the xmen stopping him from doing some sort of atomic age version 9/11 lol.
