One of the problems I encounter when reading comics or watching TV and movies based on comic book properties is the interpretation of morals and ethics by the characters. I started these posts out of a realized frustration with dissonances noticed in comic books, cartoons, and movies.

Upside Down: Adam and Eden fell in love as teens despite the fact that they live on twinned worlds with gravities that pull in opposite directions. Ten years after a forced separation, Adam sets out on a dangerous quest to reconnect with his love. On the whole I was disappointed.
