- wellthisisgreat 4y agoSame, maybe BM is just too... pulp genre-wise somehow? Or too cruel while being fictional and Nobel tolerates cruelty when it's based on true events?
- mellosouls 4y agoI think it has some basis in real events and characters, eg The Judge was real (though obviously somewhat reimagined here).
