The fact that made Soldier Boy more likeable than the primary antagonist and protagonist is a sign of terrible writing. The show, the comic, and the universe is morally devoid and disgusting. Just like The Losers comics, Wanted, and everything from the era. It nihilism and superficial and misses the whole point of the genre of super heros which has been defined since the beginning of recorded history. Epic heros and tragic heroes.
The morally bankrupt and degenerates hate the concept and themes though, so you have the nihilist brits of the 80s who destroyed comics. Yes I'm talking about the fukking alan moore and frank miller..
