Fourth World

An overview description for a series of interconnected comic books drawn and written by artist Jack Kirby, after leaving Marvel Comics in the 1970's due to his frustration with Marvel management; the books dealt with science fiction and mythological themes; the books were entitled, THE NEW GODS, FOREVER PEOPLE, and MISTER MIRACLE. None of the characters could be described as the sort of conventional 'superheroes' that Kirby and others had created in the past, but the books revolved around the idea of what could be called 'demi-gods', some good, others evil, but technologically and physically advanced over humans - the books dealt with the interaction between the 'good' gods of NEW GENESIS and the 'evil' ones of APOKOLIPS and their eventual contact with earth.

You will find opinions among Jack Kirby fans equally divided about the Fourth World books he did; but the themes are found in works like: Fantastic Four, Chariots of the Gods, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Childhoods' End, More Than Human, Eternals, Forbidden Planet, Dr.Who? .. and too many more to list ..

fourth wall character

A fourth wall character is a character that serves a specific purpose. By its very nature it is aware that it is a character, to some degree, and thus is not confined by the rules that usually confine them. They tend to use things like out of character knowledge and some degree of immortality as a part of their duties.

"I had a Random Encounter today. Strange character; he can't do anything but create monsters and NPCs, but he can't be effected or effect us."

"The Professor? He just goes around and grades RP, corrects spelling and grammar, and in general tries to help. Sometimes violently. Just take it with a grain of salt. If you try to kill him, he won't die anyway. He's a fourth wall character."

Fourth World Country

A real world dystopia with a corrupt / extremist authoritarian government, that uses media gaslighting as a disguise.

The U.K. became a fourth world country when it began to strip away human rights en mass (see austerity, eugenics, and imperialism), remorselessly murdering its citizens (see grenfell tower, the war on drugs, “herd immunity”) and proposed trade agreements that severely violate international law (see Brexit).

The U.S. is a fourth world country because children’s ‘back to school’ shopping lists include bullet proof vests (see Sandy hook, school shootings), citizens are regularly murdered by militarised police (see Stonewall, Black Wall Street, BLM, the war on drugs, indigenous peoples).

North Korea is a fourth world country, due to its long term relationship with a dystopian dictatorship. (See North Korea)

(This is not a complete list) More examples include:

- Venezuela (See Venezuela economic crisis)
-Israel (See Palestine)

-China (See “re-education camps”, concentration camps, Uighurs, the drug death penalty, “pod” homes, Winnie the Pooh)
-Saudi Arabia (See civil rights, women’s rights, Jamal Kashoggi, Oil wars)

-Hungary (See Hungarian democracy)

-Brazil (See amazon burning, Jair Bolsonaro, Brazilian prisons)
-Philippines (See Rodrigo Duterte war on drugs)

“I haven’t felt safe since we became a fourth world country.”

“The government does not serve the people.”
