>portraying the IRA as the bad guys
What kind of fucking Irishman is Ennis? Jesus I almost threw up in my mouth
>>83743774
Stay mad that your heroes fucked off to teach mudslimes how to blow themselves up.
Also, ow the edge from that character design. It's hit the point that seeing minor, detailed wounds actually bothers me more than seeing MUH GORE everywhere.

>What kind of fucking Irishman is Ennis?
A Northern-Irishman. An Atheist one at that.
>>83743774
You can't make an omelette without murdering a few civilians.
>>83743774
But they are the bad guys.
He portrayed one IRA guy as a bad guy, in any case. But then, everyone in that story was a giant douchebag. Par for the course for Ennis - everybody being a giant douchebag is his modus operandi.
>>83743845
Open a history book.

>Drug dealers and criminals who delayed the handover aren't portrayed as heroes, even when they continue to be drug dealers and criminals to this very day
Gee who'd have thunk it?
India got it's sovereignty back before Ireland. Let that sink in. And unlike Ireland, India actually made the British a profit, that's something they haven't managed to do since the 1600s. All you stupid cunts had to do was engage in a bit of Civil Disobedience and be polite and they wouldn't have known what to do, but no, you start the Easter Uprising in the middle of the First World War. Top marks. You couldn't even just breed like rabbits and outnumber the Proddies in Northern Ireland that way, that's like the one thing Catholic countries excel at.

Fucking potato wankers are the worst
Reminder that the Irish aren't white
>>83743774
I'd say blowing up civilians and engaging in the drug trade, human traficking and so on without real concern to what tge irish public wants make you the bad guy.
no centuries of oppression doesn't give you license to murder.
>>83744082
Fucking this. India managed it, but no you mick cunts decided the best way of getting independence was by terrorism.
Weirdly the British public didn't see fit to let terrorists win.
All you did was bolster the British resolve you dumb fucks
>>83744120
I want Americans to go.
Nothing more cringy than hearing an american describe themselves as Irish american just because their grandfather on their mothers side was.
My grandad was welsh, that doesn't make me a welsh Irishman
>>83743774
t. Mick McAlcoholic
>>83744225
Americans really don't understand anything outside of their tiny world.
He portrayed Finn Cooley as a selfish, mercantile bastard who really couldn't give two shits about Irish independence.
And generally speaking Ennis portrays the conflict in Ireland as stupid, pointless and a needless slaughter of good if mislead people by arrogant leaders.
>>83743825
Ireland is literally the middle east of the British isles
>>83744334
we understand plenty. It's just that those of us who understand shit mind our own business.
We don't say, try to tell polish people that their video game based on polish history must have a diversity quota.
>>83744225
No, Americans wanted you to go but muh potato blight, can't grow nothing, kept you paddy fuckers streaming into New York.
>>83744225
I want Britbongs to go.
Nothing more cringy than reading a Bonglander defend the actions of their failed empire while pretending to be Irish.
>>83744225
I think people who call themselves Irish-American are stupid too, because why would anyone admit in public that they were even remotely Irish?
>>83743774
But IRA are bad guys. They would be good if they were actually efficient and successful in the whole revolutionary business, but they are not. And effort doesn't really count here.
>>83744334
Or even inside it.

Well, no. It is literally the far West of the British Isles.
>>83744386
Why do you call them 'britbongs'?
>>83744225
>Nothing more cringy than hearing an american describe themselves as Irish american just because their grandfather on their mothers side was.
Fuck me I got the same beef with italians. Literally every person in my country that identify themselves as italians says so because they have one aunt that lives there or something. They can't speak italian for shit, they never went there (aside for maybe one trip back when they were 5yo) but they will insist nonetheless that they are as italian as fucking Mario.
Fuck them.
>>83744404
Same reason that loads of yanks claim to be part native american, to seem interesting.
Cause you fuckers don't have much heritage on your own so it's better to co opt someone else's

He portrayed the execution of an unarmed prisoner who fought for the liberation of his country a decade before as righteous.
>>83744120
Cool, now I can say the n-word
>>83744454
Italian here. The thing that angers me the most is when they can't pronounce their surname right, like Steve Buscemi.
He's had the IRA in a lot of his books.
I don't know anything about the IRA but in Preacher they're basically idiots wasting the lives of young men on an unwinnable war
>>83744120
Allegedly.
>>83744489
Except Irish hate asses, how can they be black?
>>83744510
Seems accurate
>>83743774
God forbid actually piciking up an Ennis book, other than big2shit. Stay mad, stupid millenal cunt.
So, is the IRA essentially a European ISIS?
>>83744225
The reason Americans call themselves that is because were proud of our past, and love our family and heritage
Its a shame you yuropoors cant say the same :^)
>>83744590
Nah, ISIS want death to the west and basically anyone non their particular brand of Islam, IRA wanted independence for Northern Ireland
>>83744590
ISIS actually has unholy tons of oil, guns, sex slaves and kafirs to kill like dogs, and require combined attention of two strongest militaries in the world to keep down.
IRA has potatoes and can be shut down by passerby constable.
>>83744574
Is this the thing he and McCrea referenced in Dicks 3? Some guy walking along monologing then Ivor and Dougie run him over with the time machine?
>>83744574
>Still using millennial as an insult
How old are you?
>>83744597
Is that why you always try to downplay that whole business with the slave trade and killing all the redskins off? Genocide is quite an achievement, rather odd of Americans to always wring their hands over it.
>>83744574

>>83744695
>And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how we know that every terrorist group in history was run by fucking retards.
Not everyone, but then those that weren't run by retards are not called terrorists today.
>>83744597
So you're saying you were kings and such?
>>83744704
Have some understanding for them. They live in a perfect isolated bubble, a Safe Space of planetary proportions. They need to define themselves SOMEHOW.
>>83744704
Tell that to the fikki fikki's overrunning London abdul. They seem more proud of where they came from than where they live now
>>83744496
...How does he pronounce it?
>>83744510
> they're basically idiots wasting the lives of young men on an unwinnable war
What do you mean, "In Preacher"?

The modern IRA isn't anything much to do with the Fenian movement, and bugger all to do with the republic, which has repeatedly shanked the IRA (and others similarly engaged), often for fun.
The modern IRA is about drug dealing, extortion, prostitution, money laundering, insurance scams, protection money and so on. Most of the gangs of the republic and the north are now, and have been for decades, even prior to the ceasefire. They don't even want power, at least not legitimate political power, because that's something you have to defend. They'd much rather make money and get the hell out of Ireland altogether, because it's like England but full of miserable Irish bastards who know exactly what kind of people the IRA are.
But as ever ideology makes a great cover for criminality.
>>83744510
Not even that any more. Just fucking drug runners.
>>83744474
Lots of people were executed during the Irish civil war, usually because they were dangerous bastards who didn't accept the treaty was as good as they'd get. Five were executed by the Irish army in 1923 for aiding the IRA, which was at that time still interested in obtaining political power.
It was fuckwits like them who made the treaty necessary in the first place. If they'd been less trigger happy, the whole of Ireland would be one republic today. Hell if the IRA hadn't started the civil war then the dail would have dropped the death penalty from the books in 1922.
Do you know much about the IRA? Do you know for example that the IRA since the early 1970s has basically just been a hard-right fascist organisation that doesn't give two shits about 80% of Catholics in Ireland, because they'd never support it, and engaged in a protracted secret war against other IRA factions before ending up little more than drug dealers who do a bit of beating, shooting and bombing on weekends? Doesn't seem like you know much about them.
Weekend terrorists defended by weekend thinkers.
>>83743774

The IRA from the Easter Uprising are very different from the pieces of shit that came along in the 2nd half of the 20th century
>>83744082
>>83744187
Pretty much most parts of the empire managed independence without throwing a shit fit like Ireland. Hell even shitposting capital of the world Australia managed to do it alright.
>>83744990
Everyone thought they were fucking idiots when they first took over the post office though. It wasn't until the british, who quite frankly had enough on their plate with world war one to piss about with the wankers decided to end it quickly that they became martyrs
Ennis is a Protestant Northerner who even though he's atheist never really grew out of the prejudices his community taught him. He's refused to speak to people with Irish names at cons.
>>83745089
he also has an incredibly juvenile sense of humor and the world in general
>>83745089
can you sauce that because I have an Irish name and he seemed pretty fine talking to me
>>83744574
Is that Mike and Jay?
>>83744225
I feel the same way when some half Chinese cunt from West London tells me how hard their life is when I grew up in a council estate where gangs of teenagers beat the shit out of you for looking at them wrong.
I had to stop hanging out with a circle of friends when I found out two of them murdered a homeless person because they thought they had stolen their supply of drugs. I live in the sticks so if I grassed them up they'd find me and my family.
I'M ANGRY
ANGRY ABOUT THE IRISH
>>83743774
Ennis is a piece of shit, and fedoralord, so probably thinks IRA was too religious or something. Nevermind that British monarchy has a literal state religion.
Like, all you need to know about Ennis is that scene where that girl joins the Justice League knockoff in The Boys.
The 'joke' is that she must suck dicks to join! And she does it! Haha! How cool! Ennis doesn't jack off to this situation at all! The fact that he asked artist to draw that chick on the very next page like a Facial Abuse actress after a long scene is entirely coincidental and he doesn't get off to it!
(before you mention she ends up becoming pretty much most human and relatable character in the book - that was an accident. Ennis planned her to just end up degrading herself more and more as a joke. His subconcious can write a better story than him.)
See, Ennis is the kind of person who believes in being 'ironic'. He can write racist/sexist/homophobic/otherwise fucked up shit into his stories, and it's okay, because he doesn't MEAN it! Stop being so offended guys!
I can bet 20$ that Ennis cried at premiere of Ted. Move over Citizen Kane, this is the REAL masterpiece of cinematography.

I think I jizzed in my pants a little, that's how epic this putdown of me was. Please, own me more, daddy. I beg you. Share with us your sparkling edgy wit.
I've never understood the IRA I mean sure they let of a few bombs on mainland Britain, but on the most part they just made their own country a hellhole. That'll show Westminster.

As has been pointed out earlier in the thread, India managed independence, so did Australia, but not via terrorism.
See, shitting up your country was the mistake
>>83745425
He dislikes the IRA because they're a bunch of human traffickers and drug runners masquerading as a political entity in order to garner sympathy from braindead fuckwits like yourself.
Ennis isn't even hugely anti-religious. He's had sympathetic religious characters. He just enjoys poking fun at the stupid things people do for religion or assign to religion.
But please, continue to speak of shit you have no understanding of. Maybe repeating 'fedora' enough times will somehow lend your spiel authority.
>>83744558
He even looks like a potato!
>>83745649
>Ennis isn't even hugely anti-religious.
Come on, man. Be serious.
>>83745696
Ennis has nothing but sympathy for actual devoutly religious people. The actual institutions of religion, not so much.
>>83745696
Ennis has always been more anti-institution and generally angry than anti-religious.
>>83744844
>What do you mean, "In Preacher"?
In the comics there was an issue about Cassidy in the IRA a hundred years ago.

>>83744225
Ethnicity is treated very oddly in the US, since the country is basically a gigantic melting pot of people who emigrated from [x] country so they could make money/escape being crushed for their beliefs (or nationality, depends on the country). Even after several generations though, a very large number of the colonies that popped up kept a huge amount of their own cultures because that's how humans work, so they still wanted to be identified as coming from [x] country (besides the ones who left because they hated [x] country).
Nowadays this has resulted in a largely mixed population, but anyone who still knows what their ancestors were often think that means they should solely identify as that ethnicity, despite effectively being American now.
I reckon their should be a general rule that once the last two generations have lived in one country, they are solely that nationality. It just makes it simpler for everyone.
>>83745567
Even lap dogs won't bite their own legs off if they don't want to go for a walk
>>83744844
>What do you mean, "In Preacher"?
The character of Casidy has a flash back to the Easter rising. It protrays the Republican leadership as being cynical self serving and indifferent to the well-being of the idealistic young men who followed them.
>>83745897
Not entirely inaccurate
>>83745717
>>83745727
To continue this, Ennis has a soft spot for people that have genuine faith.
The mom of Tommy Monaghan for example was really religious
>>83745776
>>83745897
I was being obsequious. I meant that the words "In Preacher" were superfluous.

I'm a britbong but had a french grandfather. I don't go around claiming french cheese and wine are the greatest and insist on buying baguettes whenever I can, but I like learning things about the culture and country itself while living in britain.
I even have the french surname since the guy was on my dad's side, yet I don't define myself as Franco-English and act like the guys >>83744454 describes. My point was to avoid more places like Bostons forming.
>>83744225
Gotta agree desu
>>83745909
yes it is
they may have been cynical but most of them knew they were going up to Dublin to die. It was about making a stand.
>>83743774
Once you start killing kids, its game over, the IRA was a terrible idea that just spread terrorism
Ennis's biggest mistake is mistreating his villains.
He hypes them up for one issue and then spends the next 50 shitting on them relentlessly
>>83744225
Different culture.
The US is a nation of immigrants so where you or your ancestors are from is more forefront in people's minds. It's a common first date question here.

I was talking about the Easter rising. Alot of people say that at the time most of the country didn't want a rebellion. But the truth is all those accounts are from Dublin. They never tried to find any accounts of what people from the rest of the countys thought.
Dublin people got all up in a heap because some random lads started taking over post offices and factories. they didnt know what was happening.
as for NI it just makes me depressed so I ignore that people are killing each other up there.
Now, Comics!

The British were wrong for centuries, but killing children because your heretic brothers don't want to join you is asinine.
>>83745727
Ennis hates every institution so if you feel threatened, don't worry. From the Military, Religion, and Corporations.
He always had respect for the common man just doing his best to be happy. Like Jesse's father and Wee Hughie

Funnily enough my nose makes me look vaguely jewish (big noses run in the family) so it's always fun meeting the odd racist elder and explain that, no my giant shnoz does not make me jewish.

>>83744704
>basing your identity
You do realize your heritage informs your family's traditions, yeah? An Irish-American family, even one that's been here since 1800, looks at the world differently and relates to one another differently than a German-American family, which looks at the world and relates to one another differently than a Japanese-American family, and so on.
My family's mostly Irish (all on the maternal side, half on the paternal side) Catholic. We're markedly different from my brother's wife's family, a bunch of German Lutherans. Stuff trickles down, affects the way your family operates. That stuff is related in part to your heritage, the cultural seeds planted when your ancestors first arrived here, and so on and so on.
America's a young country composed of immigrants and the descendants of immigrants. It's a mishmash of cultures that looks the same on the macro level but more and more different the closer you look. So saying "I'm Polish-American" means more than just "my granddad was Polish," etc. When I say I'm Irish-American I'm not just being the mick equivalent of a weeaboo, I'm saying my family's directly connected to a specific culture within our retarded mishmash of cultures. Why does that piss some people off?

>Annie started out as a joke, and was actually going to degenerate further in terms of the shit she'd put up with, the degradations she'd suffer just to be in the world's premier superteam. But I found myself writing Hughie moping in Central Park, and then to my great surprise I saw Annie coming walking down the path. That was when I realized I wanted to take her in a different direction, make her stronger and more rounded... I probably felt a bit guilty about Annie and ended up treating her a bit more responsibly as a result.
