I just knew that bloody necrosword wasn't going to be left to rot. Nothing with a name that daft was ever going to be allowed to be buried. Though for all the focus on weaponry, Avenger Thor's sudden and uncharacteristic reluctance to use his is still a massive problem for me here. In choosing not to use it, the text seems to be arguing that people should be beholden to a visibly corrupt system. The lazily-sketched villain at the centre of the piece has bought off all the laws to enable him to ruin the environment, and this is apparently valid as everyone around him - including the superhero - treats those corrupt laws as though they are to be respected... knowing as they do how very corrupt they actually are.

It beggars belief. Stories require suspension of disbelief, yes, but there's a limit to what I'll swallow in the name of credulity.
