>>45897483>He employs people to create horrors like Happyland. Only to find the Anti-Life Equation, which would've "shut down" the will and minds of all beings, according to Kirby, which would've realistically stopped war, violence, hatred, torture, etc.
And happy land was created to find the ALE, Darkseid even says, the second he steps on happy land, that he is not amused by any of the cruelties of Desaad's thempark.
>if this involves mere cruelty, I will not be amused!!He also referred to torturers as cowards. He's slapped Desaad's shit all the time for being a cruel dick. He refused to personally hurt or kill his sons and had his servants to it with his deepest regret. Gives me the impression he himself would never do it, Darkseid is Ozymandias/Magneto/Mr. freeze tier, an anti-villain.
>He runs a planetwide society where millions of people suffer and starve and are beaten in the streets and brainwashed from childhood.Again, this was to snuff out the ALE and enforce control, DS genuinely thought he was saving people from themselves, he even notes in Hunger Dogs that he wouldn't ever want to sanction a bombing of New Genisis with plagues or nukes because that'd be cruel.
Fuck, he wouldn't even hurt children or kill them. He wouldn't hurt women under Kirby's pen. Doctor Doom is more evil, Thanos ismore evil, Scarecrow is more evil than this guy.
>Darkseid is Evil. He's been the very worst kind of evil since Kirby first put him to pen.No, he was what the kind of fascist evil Kirby specifically liked.
>And before you give me any lip about Kirby's version being "Noble", every single instance I've cited was from one Kirby story or another.See above, he's pretty noble because he doesn't stomach petty cruelty.
>So..what I feel like asking is, have YOU read the Fourth World?Yes, have you?
