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.
Yeah, I had the benefit of season 3 not being out, so I just finished all the episodes at the time and never really felt the need to come back for the new seasons. I never finished the Amazon produced seasons of the Expanse, either, so maybe it’s a Bezos channel problem for me lol
Is the fake AOC character funnier or more embarrassing to watch in 2024? I’m genuinely curious
