That's why these entries are called RETHINK!
We need to start coming to conclusions for ourselves, not just swallowing what the superzero set tells us. Take, for example the "Rogues". These are a bunch of beleaguered, well meaning fellows who even speed freak The Flash doesn't view as an actual threat, yet they're forced to hide and cower because they've been labeled "villains"!
Look at these poor guys:

If you talk with any of these Rogues, they'll tell you that they all have their own sets of moral codes that they live by, and that they're as close knit a family unit as, you guessed it, the Justice League.
Maybe they're more honest about who they are. Maybe the Rogues don't aspire to call themselves "heroes" and make decisions for the rest of us average Joes from high up in a space station. Maybe THESE are more down to earth, accessible, functional members of society when all's said and done.
Boy are you ever right on the mark here, Triple-G! I was talking with Mirror Master and he said exactly what you are. They're not bad guys, they're guys who had a rough break from life and are doing the best they can. But the Just Us assholes need somebody to persecute, don't they? I love the Rogues! MM and Boomer are the hottest and I'm sick of the Just Us LOSERS treating them like dirt.
ReplyDeleteHow many times have the superzeros gone bad, caused heartbreak and havoc, then "gotten better"? And we're supposed to BELIEVE and FORGIVE them! Whereas at least these Rogues don't pretend to be so high and mighty. And what do they get? Looked down on by the self-appointed "heroes"!
