    Why the fixation on the nazi character?

    Awesome Hitler effect where western writers make their villain Hitler but also really cool and stoic (also always conventionally attractive) Her death camps are reduced to passing dialogue and we never get a follow up on them (also the ideology behind her death camps is so contrived and incomprehensible as to basically provoke fanon).

    A lot of western action stories have a worrying amount of Awesome Hitlers.
