See...there again, that's not what I came away with. I didn't really see V brainwashing anyone. Well, at least not nearly as bad as his government was. I saw him undoing what the illegitimate government had done. Teaching people to think for themselves and whatnot. As for seeking revenge no matter what, it seemed to me that he could've caused much more harm than he did. He really only killed the people who fucked his shit up.

I'd stop short of comparing Guy Fawkes with V. There's a lot of things not the same...namely that Guy Fawkes failed where V succeeded. That...and Guy Fawkes didn't work alone. He worked with a whole group of guys. November 5th is actually still a holiday in England. People set off fireworks and whatnot. I'm sure people have forgotten why they do it, but then again most Americans have forgotten why we celebrate the 4th of July.
