Metatextual postmodern asshole incoming.
Now this is interesting.
You realize I'll know it's fictional. Coincidences, timed events, plot arcs - these things have noticeable characteristics, from the inside. Ordinarily, I would simply think that events are being manipulated by an unseen hand. It's what I do, after all. But after a while... no one can rule the whole world. No one can make all the puzzle pieces fit together. That's why reality, in all its messy chaos, is so beautiful. You can't have signal without noise.
But this place, this one... if you extract every single signal and add them together, what you get is noise again. Chaos. Randomness, even if it's a randomness of a particular color. I've never seen such a fascinating bunch of nonsensical rambling.
Let's talk about doctrinal creation. Superheroes, as you well know, necessitate an entirely new body of law. Civil and criminal. I have plenty of reason to create exceptions for our noble vigilantes who insist on hiding their identity. Imagine if that were legalized. A Registration Act - it's rational, yes, but the process of a two-dimensional mind. Anyone can see that would lead to a civil war. No, I would think... something else. Control the heroes by controlling the image. No - by controlling the villains.
Yes. That's perfect.
