Or servile and obsequious, as the original Tonto was. And I agree that Tonto has every right to be angry--that this is a legitimate take on the character.<BR/><BR/>What I don't agree with is that he has to be a stoic, savage scalphunter. There are ways to express one's anger besides killing people. Being mad is <I>not</I> synonymous with being violent.<BR/><BR/>Look at medical characters like Becker or House on TV. They're angry even though they heal people. Or heroes like Batman and Wolverine in the comics. They're dark and sometimes vicious, but you never doubt their hearts are in the right place.Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-3250208519787176702007-03-29T13:33:00.000-07:002007-03-29T13:33:00.000-07:00hi rob <BR/>first i bought this comic and i must say that i was taken back buy the tonto thing i guess you cant really tell what people are going to do with a character.To me tonto should be pissed off to say the lest the whites have taken everything you own.Angry ya he looks angry alright thing about it I REALLY HOPE WE SEE THIS CHARACTER DEVELOP AND BECOME THE LOVING CARING PERSON THAT INDIANS ARESTEVE HUNTERnoreply@blogger.com
