Getting a bit off topic, but of all the edgy 'Superhero deconstruction' comics I always had a soft spot for Warren Ellis's Supergod solely because of the plot point that India builds an AI powered superhuman and gives it the mission to save India, and said superhuman promptly concludes the best way to do this is to eradicate 90% of the Indian population. Even better is that it's actually stated this would've worked out in the long run.
That's totally on-brand for India. I love it!
I'm watching it right now. I vaguely remember the tick comic since I've read it ~2017 ish but while I like The Tick himself, I feel like this is doing the Mad Max Fury Road thing where they nail the main character's casting but he's a secondary character in his own show.
are you nine years old
What? that's from the show?
I think part of it is that they were hoping for a second season so you get these minor hints that there's more to the tick than meets the eye (along with other characters getting their own little gimmicks and things to expand on for later seasons) but womp-womp on that so you're left with a show that's more about Arthur getting dragged along by his friendly tulpa into being a hero the city needs and the people that get caught in the orbit of these shenanigans.
