Easy who is doing the talking?

For some as long as the voice is not from a POC (mainly black)-it's okay.

Watchmen, American Flag and others have always had social commentary. However the voice has not always come from a POC.


Again I repeat, there's a difference between inserting social/political commentary where it's deserved and warranted and where it isn't deserved and warranted. Saying that "Watchmen/comics were always political" and responses to that effect doesn't automatically negate all criticism in regards to how politics are handled in shows, movies, etc.

Comics weren't immune to criticism and never will be, even if the political card is played.
It does when it's a cherry picking argument. Because the definition of politics seems to VARY.

Just doing that opening seems to have offended folks for showing an historical moment.

Would those complaining take issue if the opening showed the Irish riots of 1916? Northern soldiers fighting in the Civil War? If not. WHY the issue with Tulsa opening?
