I just wanted to hear the thoughts of some comrades. I feel like the whole show is a dagger pointed right at the heart of amerikkkan culture and capitalism.
I’m not the most savvy on catching all the themes or lib brain worms that find there way into media, but it speaks to my disdain for the culture. The cynical narcissism of the supes (and holy shit their sexual pathologies), the capitalizing on things from every angle, the military jingoism, the soulless use of humans for capital, the commentary on the rot at the heart of the beast, and the religious cults preying on people. It hits for me, and I hate it all at the same time.
Anyway, hope ya’ll have a great Christmas or holiday, at least a break from the meat grinder.
Edit: Oh, and the fucking rainbow capitalism, it’s pretty spot on.
If memory serves it seems like Homelander’s rebellion started in the season 4 finale, no? I would love to see butcher finally end homelander
I basically do not remember season 4 aside from
spoiler
the farm with the super animals and Butcher having super-cancer that makes him evil
This is a testament to the show losing it’s panache, but also to the strength of my personal stash of edibles
