![]() ![]() AND I HAD REALLY REALLY BEEN ENJOYING IT. And I think this backstory was included maybe without a lot of thought since it's just a couple panels of dialogue, but well, I wish someone had thought about it because it really ruined the entire comic for me. ![]() There is already a ton of really terrifying upsetting cultural precedent for dismissing Operation Paperclip and casting a heroic light on it's Nazi scientists. And our adorable heroine HUGS HIM at the end of the book and he gets to go do space science as free as a bird. there's no real other thing that could be given context and his story. That's a Nazi rocket scientist come to work for NASA. I keep staring at it and trying to see if I somehow misconstrued it, but no, that's a Nazi. Here's the character in the book that our heroine rescues. As in, when the US government brought in a bunch of Nazi scientists not giving a shit about who they were or what they'd done as long as they could advance our technology. Okay so basically this books seems to take a really rosy view of Operation Paperclip. ![]() ![]() Content warning for Nazis under the spoiler tag My first instinct was to give it a 4 because so much of it is good and cute and i want to be "fair" or whatever, but it's been 30 minutes since I finished it and I'm still really upset. Because I really enjoyed like 90% of it, but there was one thing in it that made me REALLY UPSET. ![]()
