What on this blue/green orb possessed them to place the story during WORLD WAR ONE!?


If there's one thing I'm sick of, it's the cliche of using World War One as a setting for character origin stories. I mean, I'm just sick of how overused it is. Every time I turn around, I'm like, oh, another movie set in the trenches. Ho hum.

I dunno, somehow a superhero story set before the invention of antibiotics seems just sort of weird.

If your argument for placing a story in WWI is novelty, a whole bunch of film makers have avoided the novelty of it perhaps for the reason I say - World War One is the single most depressing event in history.

Six million dead soldiers and the main outcome is the rise of the Nazis.
