Yeah, there are definitely some great ideas. Just some stuff like the scientist couple taking opposing sides with WY etc put me off. Maybe a fan edit could sort out my issues with it.

Also not a fan of superheroes. The androids have been basically turned into those (why does she have a sword on her back). I get that there’s a whole audience of Marvel fans out there etc, but just doesn’t appeal to me.

I wouldn't really call the Ghost in the Shell children androids, since they allegedly have the minds of human kids in them instead of being programmed bots. But that was also a question posed by the story - are they really the kids, or are they something else like a copy or an abomination?

Superheroes are just a thing that goes back through the legends and tall tales of humanity, like the stories of Hercules and the Greek pantheon etc. Marvel and DC corporations don't own that idea.
