    It’s called Guy Fawkes night, not James 1st night or Cecil of Salisbury night. We mark it by setting off explosions and burning things, just like Guido wanted to do. Guido gets the cool character design, and big screen reimaginings where he’s a badass counterculture dude. Guido failed in his plot, but he won the PR war.
