Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Sort of is tho. It might give you the false impression that the good guy wins in reality too, which couldnt be any further from the truth. It also teaches kids that there is a greater power that will eventually save them, which again is not going to happen in reality most of the time.
How would you rewrite The Sound of Music to fit this? Have the Nazis capture them at the end?
Dont know that so idk...
But yes, i think showing what its like to lose is important. It gives people all the more motivation to fight back if they are ever met with a choice in life.
The final song of the movie "So Long, Farewell" would suddenly have a different meaning.
I was thinking of stories/movies with "bad" endings and 1984 is a pretty obvious one that had a horrible ending but a massive cultural impact probably in part due to shock of the ending being so depressing.
If you want to be more realistic? Yes. They get captured and executed. The rest of the story shows all the Nazi's living long, fulfilling lives and facing no consequences for any of their actions.
