Season 2's new antagonist has revealed herself as turbo Hitler, as expected, but it's really the subtext that is so pernicious.
Stormfront (yup...) complains about "the other races" overwhelming and destroying "us", an obvious strawman of anyone who dares question the overt and deliberate demographic reform enacted within majority-white countries by liberal Western governments over the last half century.
No other peoples would see their concerns over such treatment dismissed so casually as hate speech and bigotry. I can only assume as much, of course, because no non-white cultures are being systematically targeted in this fashion. Strange, right?
I tolerated the show to this point because it was reasonably subtle with it's messaging and even occasionally mocked the empty virtue signaling of corporations and media. Most of the human characters have become increasingly unlikeable, but the corrupt supers are genuinely interesting. This episode shattered all that. I'm out.
I quit at the end of season 1, as soon as it was revealed that Butcher's wife was still alive.
There's far too many liberties taken with the comic for me to mention, but I'm not surprised that people remain incapable of adapting decent comic series (cough cough, Preacher).
Just waiting for them to turn the Sandman adaptation into a bullshit wokefest.
Please, no-one touch Transmetropolitan.
Just finished Transmetropolitan, and for all of its "shocking" profanity and content, it struck me as hopelessly naive in the end.
SPOILER: The fact that Spider just had to get the story and get it out to other journalists, who all bravely published it, made me actually laugh out loud. The world is horribly corrupt, and they didn't corrupt the media? Absolute clownshoes.
Thanks for letting me rant.
