The lasso of lies is a concept that belongs in a silver age silly comic. I’m so sick of them trying to do overly serious stories and then toss some silliness in there to say “tahaha I love the silver age camp!”
No you’re just a homosexual Tom
The lasso of lies wouldn't even pass the muster for the silver age. It's not wacky and silly, just lazy.
>see lies are a lot like bondage in that they can tie you up
Tom King's writing is fascinated with liars as he seems to think having liars in his plot gives him more creative licensing to do what ever he wants.
Maybe he's fascinated with it because of his guilty conscience that stems from lying with CIA for years
>Tom KING
>creates a villain called the SOVEREIGN who deals in lies
That's just Tom King wants you to think that so you can chase after imaginary war crimes instead of focusing on how lazy he is as a writer and creative.
What does that lasso do exactly? Making you telling lies?
It lets you wrap reality by telling lies.
it lets you eat sugar and get away with it
We don't know the specifics yet, but the implications are that it warps reality and makes people perceive lies as truth.
It probably has other capabilities.
>It probably has other capabilities.
Rumor say that you can even tie knots with it.
It's the first slavecatcher's rope in america.
americandreambros, believing in america... is all a lie??????
10/10 Bravo King your Eisner will be in the mail.
if they wanted to criticize modern america they could've just done some corporate entity that's a brand given physical form that won't stop until it consumes and subjugates every single thing that isn't iself
think something kinda like superdoom but not from an alternate universe
Tom King is just using his political satire as window dressing to convince the casuals and normies his work is smart.
Sovereign will become the next Romulus, mark my words.

YOU FOOOKING WAT???
Two of those are so Wonder Woman's friends can have their own lassos.
The last one is standard fricking Earth-3 shit.
If they wanted to go further it could've just been a fricking whip instead of a lasso to beat you over the head with it.
It makes sense why the amazons use lassos, it doesn't make a lot of sense why the king of america's special ability is a lasso.
The comic explains why Sovereign has the Lasso of Lies: his ancestor wiped out a female tribe when he first came to America and took the lasso. It been passed down from father to son ever since.
Yeah I can see how that sounds convoluted to the audience.
>the amazons had a tribe in america that were present up to European colonization.
>this tribe also happened to have one of the most powerful lassos in their possession.
>but despite the fact this tribe of semi-divine warrior women had a weapon that could literally rewrite reality they still managed to get wiped out.
>and only now is the guy looking to do something about it despite being the king of America.
Shouldn't it be the web of lies?
Wasn't this homosexual a spook, aka professional liar scumbags
