Historical? SuperHero Photos

Just a point, Captain America's first comic had him fighting Nazi's several months before the US joined the war. 

Intreasting pictures, but not my cup of tea.

...they're not great.

Nor are they art - unless an unmade bed really was art and the viewer subscribes to the "it is art because I say it is" idiocy.

And Nazis are still "bad guys" regardless of who wrote a letter to Hitler or when the USA entered the war or whether or not Atomic Bomb attacks on Japan were justified.

In a world when so many would have us believe that everything is "grey" in reality so much is simply black and white.  Right and Wrong.

Nazis = BAD.

I disagree. Sometimes there is merely wrong and wrong.

And I'd rather believe that 'art is what the artist says' rather than 'art is whatever you say'.

I have extensively edited the rest of this post because I don't think getting into protracted arguments on a toy soldier forum is terribly helpful for those concerned or very edifying for those who have to wade through it.

For all I know the guy who made these intended them to start political and morality discussion, seems like it's working!

Nazis = BAD.

That is for sure!

good point. I'll say no more.

Heh, in my last Pulp game I forced the players to choose between siding with the Nazi archeologists, or the secret society goons who had thrown them into the deathtrap of a pyramid.  The game sadly ended on that cliffhanger, the two groups having a shoot out in the treasure chamber, and the players arriving on the scene.

That is for sure!

Well put!

Personally i don't think that there that good

Especially the fold out lightsaber takes away from them!

Just what I thought!

Some of them are quite good, although the superheros look a little too 'clean' in many of the shots.
I think the second one is fantastic, though.

Thank you for summing it up more accurately.

(Aside from the fact that, as we all know, Cap wasn't 'created' until after the US joined WWII, placing him into 1942, making this inauthentic photo anachronistic as well.

Well, still a little anachronistic, but Captain America #1 came out in March of 1941.
Still, a hero who spent so much time defeating the German-American Bund might have a little trouble interacting in a cordial way with the good Reichsfuhrer.

Overall pretty amateur I thought and seems more wholly random than actually putting in careful forethought to provoke discussion.
