To be fair, Dredd was a 'respectable good guy' in many of the 2000AD stories. It wasn't always a fascist plotline that was running. That happened in spurts. Perhaps further sequels would have darkened the character more and blurred the lines between right and wrong. I'm sad that there won't be any Dredd sequels, there was a lot of great source material out there and I would have loved to have seen Judge Death and the other dark judges on the big screen. I even own the Stallone film on a German bd, sure it's a letdown but it has a spot-on Mean Machine Angel, a long walk and the block war seen at the start. Oh yeah, and an ABC Warrior. Their Judge McGruder looked pretty good too.
