I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.

Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
Since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

What is a Panda doing in the Great North Woods. And "ferocious"? Is that gun made out of bamboo?
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
This is about as fierce as it gets
Here is another good example of a Panda vs Human Fight
