-=Dark_Angel=-, P.I.18 Dec 2004

No, look. You haven't said what the comparison is. You've only announced that you've made a comparison. One imagines you have written this down on a piece of notepaper and forgotten to post it onto the internet.

The mythical comparison, as you have stated it, is between the escapist fantasy of a reader of superhero comic books and the alleged escapist fantasy of -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. Do you know what a comparison is? It consists of listing the similarities and differences between the two compared things, perhaps with some sort of conclusion at the end.

So far you haven't listed any similarities or differences between the escapist fantasies of superhero comic book readers and the alleged escapist fantasies of -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I., except to say that they are both escapist fantasies, which is not a comparison at all, because the question is how they compare *qua* escapist fantasies.

Specifically, superheroes aren't "extremely arrogant." They don't "assert themselves to be innately better." They don't have an "obsession with demeaning the lower classes and instilling what they hope to be pain." By extension, the escapist fantasies of readers of these comics probably don't have these features.

You could make a more profitable comparison between the escapist fantasies of the writers of supervillain comics and the alleged escapist fantasies of -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. Remember, though, what a comparison is. You can't just say "I compare these two things."
