Forum Overview :: Garth Ennis's The Punisher :: Re: Pretty good

[quote name="Mysterio"][quote name="kate leth"]On one of my other comic projects, the satire one, I actually had someone angrily complain and say that the writing is bad because, and I'm not lying, they said that "satire needs to have subtlety." They actually for real thought that objectively false concept, held the lie in their mind, and never once questioned it.[/quote] That's just one little message board post, though. If the post is wrong then in order for it to exist, the person only needed to consider that wrong thought casually, for like one minute, with hardly any pressure on them. But your college students live for a long time in a deadly situation that seems like it should put enormous pressure on them. They're all permanently cooped up together in one building, kept away from normal society by something that they must know has already killed lots of people, and they haven't yet been traumatized into survival mode? People with wrong ideas are still good at being scared or anxious. Like with people having panic attacks because they saw a "trigger" on a screen, what if a person like that was put into a zombie apocalypse? They'd be terrified, and then despondent, maybe.[/quote]
