Capitalism - Don't let a good disaster go to waste


Dr. Randall Mindy = Mini-Fauci due to the MSM propaganda tabloids for clickbait ratings making him sexiest man etc. but totally different in the sense that he was consistent and not flipflopping or changing the message about the event every couple of months.

Mrs. Mindy = A caring wife with no backbone or game. She may not be the lottery ticket hot wife but she does get your prescriptions right and is a family woman.

Dr. Kate Dibiasky = Some progressive activist scientist or grown up Greta Thurnberg (dyed hair + piercings).

Peter Isherwell = Combination of Steve Jobs look and the awkwardness of Elon Musk. What I found wierd was that little girl saying "I love you Peter." It seems she really was into him even though she's a minor... Kinda of a turn on if he even paid any attention to her, lol.

President Janie Orlean = Trumpian. Even got a Steven Segal pic.

Jason Orlean = Eric Trump because he got abandoned. Love the lowly educated and we're super elite.

Brie Evantee = Combination of Dagen McDowell and Martha MacCallum from Fox News.

Riley Bina = Taylor Swift, just based on the amount of breakups. That or Ariana satirizing herself since he likes to do that too. Also, fuck the manatees and she's a marxist skank!!

Social Media + Memes = The amount of narcissism in people were off the charts to get noticed. Lot of it looked like leftist tweets on their celebrity crushes.

Lobbyists + Super Donors + Not real scientists/doctors = Giving their opinions to control the masses

Don't Look Up = Conspiracy Theorists


Knowing how stupid society is as a whole, giving end of world news would NOT be a good idea imo. Many will do things they won't regret be it trampling, anarchy, murder, rape, rioting, looting due to end of life so why not amirite? US would be the worst example due to how its society is run like an insane asylum kept under control by the police/military state but still outnumbered in number so bringing order from chaos would be difficult. You can already see how cops have a hard time with high crimes and free looting by certain progressive policies.

What's amazing was the BASH algorithms that can guess to the minute detail your life history, personality, and how you'll die. Funny how such an accurate app couldn't determine how to break up the comet or successfully launch a deflection mission.

It was a nice touch to see all the unattractive nude elites all die at the end. Surprised the colony ship itself didn't breakdown 22,740 years later. How'd they get everything wrong and colony ship right?

In the end this movie was fantastic! Seeing the end of the parasitic human race is a positive message.

It's a good commentary on our reaction to things like climate change and kinda/sorta Covid, but it wouldn't translate to an ELE comet.

Climate change and Covid gets pushback from conservatives because it asks them to change their lifestyles. An ELE comet wouldn't. The scientists would go out and do their thing while everyone else just sat back and watched.

BASH is what took it to a cartoon level for me. Corporations are greedy, but they would be fighting for the contract to be the one to destroy it and get the credit.

The whole angle of mining the comet for resources was Adam McKay trying too hard to stick it to capitalism.

Isherwell was actually a combination of Tim Cook (apple), Elon Musk (invention that will "save" the planet), Bill Gates (no hunger ever again shit) and Joe Biden (Into young girls, sniffing hairs).
