The Empire of Aethelgard is a fictional island continent and totalitarian country that exists at the intersection of sword-and-sorcery fantasy, dystopian survival, and graphic splatterpunk horror. Known colloquially as the "Ancient Dystopia," Aethelgard merges the administrative discipline of Imperial Rome (Roman Republic/Empire), the philosophical structures of Classical Greece (Sparta/Athens), and the plague-ridden feudalism of Medieval England (St. Brice’s Day Massacre/Harrying of the North/Great Famine of 1315–17). Aethelgard was an eerie land mass, brutal, draconian, strict, brutal and grim with highly diverse but universally hostile that has been isolated from the rest of the unknown world because of extreme totalitarian fashion by the Emperor which completely censored anything such as human errors, laughing, smiling, cheekiness, having fun, childish antics, love, having close friends, falling in love, date, sex, using wrong word of whatever they say or bad writing, rebellion, nostalgic past like films, books, comics and music, writing or using electricity are all completely banned which includes childish games by the government because of desolate badlands scarred by historical conflicts had been defined by ruthless power dynamics, mass enslavement, and state-sanctioned settler violence with absolute cruelty of punishing people including animals for trying to survive or even for crying babies leaves no room for hope, especially eating as well as private cooking are banned, and staying home while avoiding work means death when agents and soldiers kill people for dodging work or failing to quiet crying babies. Many starving civilians are forced to eat small amounts of weak food, and any extra food brings a death sentence, when children, toddlers or babies felt that they do not like being shouted at will get themselves murdered for no reason. After the government destructs everyday normal life to dismantle family life when privacy was abolished, when the regime used harsher methods when the guards routinely hit anyone, the Emperor told his party leadership that mothers will not be allowed to coddle or being too soft with infants and children, nursing or nurturing children as well as babies are banned by the state, any mother who is not harsh enough are labelled as worthless and unfit mother who has not worked hard enough to discipline, abuse and punish the child will be taken away by the Emperor's secret police at night raids. The authorities wanted to avoid children growing up by forcing mothers or fathers to kill infants, toddlers or children, if some refused, they too will be killed as punishment by the regime. The state took all children away from parents, and even the guards get punished if they fail to kill anyone by the Emperor's will. Millions of adults and children are forced to do joined up writing, and if some did not do joined up writing, it will be the fault of others who are blamed with accusations when they scream at them, if they do not do as they were told. Aethelgard expands through total warfare, using scorched-earth tactics and public spectacles of execution to control and conquer its vast territories and peoples who had stripped of rights and worked to death as expendable state resources by the government as part of military campaigns designed to annex neighboring lands quickly by the settlers with total destruction of enemy food stuffs, every homes, and all lands to break resistance where the massacres and localized terror committed directly by expanding civilian settlers rather than regular troops that night to make sure they are not allowed to ask questions or complaining about anything, because of the lack of modern conveniences, scorched-earth vengeance, and feral, infected-style threats. Life in Aethelgard is a totalitarian, expansionist imperial power defined by absolute militarism, extreme social stratification, and state-sanctioned settler violence, it was not peaceful, it was suffocating by ruling through brute force, the Emperor directs continuous war campaigns aimed at total continental domination to maintain order, Aethelgard utilises its own civilian settler population as a direct instrument of terror, pacification, and demographic replacement. During the invasion, the settlers had participate directly in the pacification of conquered territories of Aethelgard, which has armed with agricultural tools and clubs, settler mobs engage in systematic street-by-street harassment during the night after dusk, beating conquered populations to death. This distributed violence ensures the entire civilian population of Aethelgard is complicit in the empire's atrocities with severe emotional control, abuse and toxic behavior such as anger, relentless shouting, uncontrollable temper, and physical intimidation through shared guilt and blood, because the ruling party is never wrong and never makes mistakes completely enforced by zero-tolerance policy to deny essentials like food.

for Carnage in Which projects should inspire adaptations of these comics
Suggested by benpopplewell

There have been many reboots of Batman and Superman, although each adaptation is usually unique in its own way. In order to keep adaptations different from each other, as well as different enough from the comics (but of course, keeping things people like about the characters and storylines), which comics, movies (superhero and non-superhero; they can be other superheroes' movies), shows, novels, etc. should inspire an adaptation of a particular character or the comics of a franchise?
