Thank you for writing this, Alex. There was a lot of honesty here that feels so close to my own reality, and I look at my own two cats scared for the day that I will have to say goodbye to them. Meanwhile also thinking of family I had lost in these last few years, and my inability to be with them in their final moments.
"I'm also gonna say the thing: I still feel like I'm bashing my head against a wall that won't budge with these kinds of games' refusal to acknowledge that cops aren't actually the good guys. Spider-Man: Miles Morales taking awful things that the police have documentedly done in real life and making a faceless PMC do it instead... Guys, you don't need to invent supercop bad guys to tell your superhero tale. They exist in real life, and they're the people that fail to protect us. Give me that story next time instead of trying to tell me bad people do bad things because it's just in their nature to be bad."
