But when it's their own sweet "normal" children, then it's a tragedy. I believe Eminem made the same point about school shootings becoming a big deal when they started happening in middle class schools, whereas before supposedly no one cared that poor people shot each other. If Marvel is taking story cues from Eminem, I weep for my reading.
