Quote:I would also like to say, compared to many other shows I’ve been watching, Nick had pretty high moral standards. I hope you are not suggesting it was Nicks fault that Juliette was brainwashed (he didn’t even know she was alive). False passport? I think that after people had been trying to get their hands on the keys for centuries, faking Nick's identity to insure a successful operation didn’t brake many morals standards. Almost all superheroes hide their identity. Kidnaping Diana? Yes, but it was intended to stop Diana from being used as a powerful weapon in a conflict that could threaten the world.
I knew it wouldn't be too long before the ugly argument of Juliette versus at least one of the characters in the show would surface. Why is it that no matter what the topic, she has to be brought into it?

These where nothing like Walt Disney’s animated movies about Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. The first version from 1812 where completely unsuitable for children, and contained stuff like extreme violence and rape. Hansel and Gretel are dumped in the forest by their biological mother, Cinderalla’s step sisters get their eyes chopped out by seagulls, while the Sleeping Beauty marries a king that raped her in her sleep and made her pregnant with twins (while the queen was burned at the stake). Compared to the original Grimm-stories, Greenwalt & Kouf’s version have pretty high moral standards…
Actually, reading this and thinking about the series, there are some stark similarities between the two that have nothing to do with high moral standards.
I don't think Nick was ever intended to be character of high moral standards. He, and the rest of them, wander about in a gray area, sometimes doing good things, sometimes doing the despicable. Rather like the fairytales, I would say.
I believe what Hexenadler is saying is that Nick and the others are a rather stagnant bunch. Not a lot of growth or learning experience as the result of the catastrophes that befall them.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
