      Glad you pointed this out. The efforts of Guy Fawkes and his team were to restrict the rights of many. Although the character of V For Vendetta is cool, it’s very, very loosely based on the actual Guy Fawkes (who gives me the impression of a bigot, from what we know of the gunpowder plot).

    TBF it’s a celebration that a plot to use terrorism to institute a Catholic theocracy failed.

    IDK why people idolize the guy, he was a wannabe Catholic theocrat.

    That shit Bloody Mary did, he wanted to do that but make it stick this time.
