: :Gee, bob I was really happy that you had changed your mind, however I think you misunderstood that comics although artful and creative in their storytelling, are aimed at young men who like to seethings get blown-up. Maybe you see this as violent and destructive but here on Earth we call that ENTERTAIMENT. Oh, yeah and good clean fun. So you see even though the movie depicts violence, it's the VILLIAN that starts it and it's the GOOD GUY that wins in the end! And really good comics have always had violence otherwise what use would superpowers be? It's really just an exagerrated view of everyday life on earth. We promise not to hurt anybody else in the galaxy, ok?

: This was not a comic, it was a movie. And therefore a new medium. Also, it was not aimed only at young men. It was aimed at women as well, hence the love story. It was also aimed at older men, because young men woudl respond better to a newer hero. So your argument is valid only to a point. Humanity should have been able to surpass the limitations of a work's medium as it progresses to a new one.
: I did change my mind, though, so I will not begin the invasion just because some people do not fully appreciate the freedom of the creative process.
: Perhaps the invasion should change direction? Instead of invading to take over, I should invade on a cultural level? And work to change at least the American culture to prioritize the creative process over capitalism?
