"anarchist grudgingly respects libertarian's stance towards authority" isn't that hard to get. there is also a metatext that Rorschach is a tribute to the work of Steve Ditko and Moore has complicated feelings about a man with kook politics and uncompromising artistic principles.
We can argue semantics on the presentation, but this narrative that the first two films, especially the first one, are just “gory cartoons” is reductionist and annoying. They are that, but they are also about friends/loved ones trying to murder you
the newer evil dead movies are so far from the spirit of the originals. now they're all about family trauma (lame). but back in the day, they were all about bruce campbell being a 5 alarm smoke show and getting beat up looney tunes style and covered in goos and slimes (cool).

@notwhydeegee2 That MITB match is one of my favorite examples of commentary clearly trying to relay a specific story/take and the audience going, “Nah, fuck that, Punk rocks”
