it isn't. it's /a/'s Tom Strong. A glorious, full throated
reconstruction of a genre produced by the same source that painfully
and depressingly reconstructed it previously. Alan Moore showed us what
broken and terrible people superheroes would have to be, then went on
to say "superheroes are still pretty fucking cool"
Gainax ground
mecha into dust with Evangelion, dwelling probably too long on how
horrific child soldiers using massive engines of war to battle wholly
alien threats, and then gives us TTGL, the message of which is
basically "I, you, we, and chicks dig giant robots. nice."
Why don't we talk about Tom Strong ever? Tom Strong is great. |
