I never played bioshock but considering it’s Netflix I’m sure it will suck
I've played it a long time ago and I admit I do not remember the story.
That being said, as far as I know it was suppose to be anti-capitalist and the third one (that I've not played despite owning it) is something about racism. Some woke talking points can naturally fit in the story just as long as the woke ideology does not become the story.
But since is Netflix it will hammer their talking points with every chance they can.
the third one did indeed have some commentary on 1920s racism
it also had the "downtrodden underdogs" get the upper hand and then turn into a perhaps even worse version of their former overlords (basically the oppressed became the oppressors - does that sound familiar?)
Notice that the Comstock sect refers to the real America of this "1920s racism" and everything else as just "the Sodom Below".
They also don't identify as Americans after they left America (seceded and flew away), back in 1901 or so.
They also now have a "prophecy" to one day return and literally destroy America (the fate of Sodom).
It's an apocalyptic cult, not America. And they're not even Christian.
That was going to be even more developed in the precut version.
