I keep noting that people who say 'Azula is the greatest evil in all of fiction' are too squeamish to get to the real nastiness:

If they think 'Today is the day I celebrate becoming an only child' is too mean, they'd really find Johnny Bates as disturbing as people in the 80s did when Marvelman was brand new.

The results of this guy going on a rampage to massacre London for fun and profit have yet to be matched in all of modern comic-dom's meaningless brutality and gore. The reason for this is by the time you get to this point and everything else he does in London, well....

You start with this. And it goes from the suave businessman of the first volumes to this guy:

So sure, kids. An eighth grader with a big mouth is your nadir of evil and horrific things you've seen and read in fiction because you are the cartoon equivalent of the person who's only read one book.

#azula #avatar: the last airbender #miracleman #kid miracleman #issue 15 #aka the issue where Bates goes bugnuts and massacres London #and then kicks the entire cast around for three quarters of the issue #the scenes of just what he does to London and the images of raining severed hands and feet #and the skinned human flesh on clotheslines hung up like laundry.....#yeah #that is exactly why I have little patience for the kind of idiocy in Tumblr ATLA fandom #if your standards for evil are this narrow read more books and watch more cartoons #watch more movies #do literally anything but stay in the narrow time-warped view that a TV Y7 cartoon from the Bush era is the apex of human evil for you
