Tactical Question - Haley

[Zrak]

I think whether or not that would make a difference or be too blatant a hint for the scene in the pyramid is less important than the impact it would have on the message. I think part of the point is that V's actions aren't justified just because the creatures he happens to be mass-murdering don't look like we do. To show humans with draconic heritage would ruin the message, since giving us a familiar face with which to identify basically just enforces the sort of self/other binary the strip seems designed to shatter. The reader is supposed to see that the mass murder of essentially innocent, sentient beings is wrong, regardless of how different from oneself they may be. At least, that's the message I took from the scene. Rich can obviously speak for himself about his intentions, but I think including more humanoid victims would lessen the scene's power.

(Edited for clarity of phrasing.)
