currently reading through the comic, and its really great, but im confused as to why the immortal and a bunch of other heroes are trying to stop rex’s control over the usa (and maybe the entire world? but thats not been totally clarified yet). Rex’s way of doing things really isnt very different to the way that government works all over the world already, and from the looks of things, he’s doing it better. The government is already an organisation that operates above the people it governs and controls their lives, and people already dont get much of a say in how that governing is done. We have elections, sure, but thats just representative and is just choosing whoever is the most powerful person in a given country, but we dont really have a lot of agency in exactly what that person does after they are elected. and as for killing a lot of heroes, any other government would have done the same thing if people tried to rise up against them. it just seems to me that if the goal of the resistance is just to go back to how it was before, all they are really doing it making things worse. I mean, immortal was literally abe linclon, he should know how this stuff works. All that being said, i havent fully finished the arc just yet, so maybe im wrong about a few things.
“Those who give up freedom for security deserve neither, and will lose both.”
If you have to kill all your fucking friends to secure world peace, it wasn’t worth it imo. You killed all the people that helped you get there and deserved more than anyone else to see the world you created from it. In this case the ends just do not justify the means
maybe not, but whats done is done. if its working now, i dont see any reason to go back. killing rex and reverting to a worse way of doing things isnt going to bring back any of the heroes who died
All I’m really saying is, if the question is “was robot right?” The answer is no, and he even says it himself.
