WTF? Did they just had to go to "bad guys are white supremacist nazi"???


It just starts to be boring, lazy, uninspired, etc.

Every show HAS to just land there?

Bwahahahaah
I came here right after watching, KNEW it was going to ruffle some snowflake feathers, that's too fucken funny. Hits pretty close to home, this episode, huh?
Vought pulling in billions, blaming the illegals, talking about protecting their freedom, getting everyone riled up about the illegal invasion, stoking resentments while posing as the victims. "Then WE get in trouble for trying to do something about it!"
Whelp, that pretty much sums it up pretty nicely...to the people calling it woke trash...those idiots screaming about freedom in the crowd? Why that's you!
What a fucking perfect way to demonstrate just how ridiculous our current state of affairs is where people are so easily manipulated into believing ex-fucking-xactly what just so happens to work out for corporate America and the richest of the rich among us.

Nono, its not the billions we fund in corporate welfare, American workers making apx 60% of what we did 60 years ago, the elimination of unions, lobbyists infiltrating every facet of government, nono see, the REAL problem is the immigrants coming to pick our tomatoes and work the deep fryer at McDonald's. Sorry but the idiots among us just got a glimpse of how prone they are to being led off the deep end of ridiculous.
Fucking awesome.

Edit, uh...to call this "uninspired" makes me think you don't know that that word means. This is absolutely fully fucking 100% inspired.

I haven't seen the show, but I'll never understand why people claim to be for worker's rights and want everyone to get fairer pay, but then also be in favour of immigration that drives down wages on behalf of big companies. Like that form of worker exploitation is ok, but all the other ones aren't?

Like I agree with everything else you said, the system (across most of the Western world) has been continuosly rigged by big corporations to screw over the worker for decades now and immigration is just another tool they use to enrich themselves and pay people less. Illegal immigration is part of the larger problem and by falling for the idea that you can only be racist to be against it is playing into the hands of the big corporations who want to maintain their source of cheap labour.

Also, wasn't the character literally called "Stormfront"? Is anyone surprised they were an evil racist?

This is what I'm talking about with all this anti-Woke, anti-SJW nonsense. You can't even show white supremacists any more, which is in the damn comics, without the white grievers whining about it.

Just like we can't have any more Sarah Connors and we can't have any more Ellen Ripleys without you insufferable morons getting absolutely butthurt over what you perceive as some secret multicultural agenda trying to hurt white people.

I can't wait until Trump loses just to see the tears flow.

reply

And you know why is that?

Because every show/movie has to push the agenda. Watchmen? Transformed in "bad white supremacists" vs "good blacks". Every damn movie or show NEEDS to have bad racists, obviously white, to smash the patriarchy, racial stereotypes, etc etc.

IN EVERY SHOW OR MOVIE.

Even the Oscar requirements now are about inclusivity, diversity and quotas, here's your agenda. An era in which Schindler's List wouldn't even be nominated for Oscars. Godfather? Thrash, not enough diversity.

So when everything pushes down your throat the same ideas it comes a time when one says "enough, i want to see something different".

And no, we have NOTHING against Ripley, against Connors, against the original Mulan because those are good characters. We just don't like Mary Sue type of characters. Like Rey or Cpt Marvel or the new Mulan.

Here's a video about old Mulan vs the new Mulan, maybe you will understand what's out problem with the "new wave female hero":

And it's not the only one.

No. It isn't. This is why you are insufferable.

Also, The Boys comics literally contain white supremacy.

Stormfront's gender was changed to piss off the incel anti-SJWs. They were tricked into thinking she would be a feminist, and then got bamboozled by her white supremacy.

The show literally fooled you into complaining about a subject matter that was actually in the comics.

reply

I didn't see stormfront as a feminist move (although i heard that was changed from male) - i really quite enjoyed the character, second to HL, and the actress was a great choice IMHO.

Haven't read the comics so ... and i usually don't care about nazi or shit and if not for the present trend i wouldn't have minded. Just that it was that straw that broke the camel. Every show i watched IS ridden with propaganda and leftist agenda. Of course someone like you wouldn't see or accept it.

But after I seen all the shows and movies hinting at least at white supremacy, racial injustice, we don't need men feminism, etc it just too much. Again, even the oscar requirements are in the same trend.

But as i said, of course someone like you wouldn't want to accept it or even see it.

ridden with propaganda and leftist agenda

#butthurt whiteboy ranting alert

That language alone tells people all they need to know about *your* agenda

reply

we don't need men feminism

Oh , right , you mean when you spot a woman on tv that hasnt got her tits out for your titilation , but is somehow , inexplicably on the tv screen? sometimes even flapping her lips!
outrageous!

reply

Huh? i have no idea how you got to that from what i said.

I guess reading comprehension is not your strong suit ...

But it's cool, you love your strawmans anyway ;)

reply

"IN EVERY SHOW OR MOVIE."

every one? really?
I watched 4 different shows last night , there wasnt any of that.

reply

Watching a marathon of Cozi TV doesn't count.

reply

the last recentish action movie I watched was the one with Dave Bautista when New york gets "invaded" (2017)
He was white , male and in the lead role.

reply

I dunno, I think it's meant to poke fun at everyone. First you think Stormfront is going to be a feminist, then she turns out to be racist, she might even be worse than Homelander, if that's even possible. There are no good guys on this show. Which is the whole point, I think. So far, I think the show is about whether the ends justify the means, like when Starlight and Billy Butcher meet the guy with the car. The particular area of morality where the idea gets played out is going to vary. Racism and immigration in one manifestation, the parents' lying to their kids about compound V in another manifestation, etc.

reply

Yeah man, this is so fucking boring. I hate how lazy it has become to use racists. And this one is a literal nazi too.

Like someone else even mentioned, why would she still hate non white people after all this time? If anything, she'd hate non super heroes. But no, you gotta have a boringly simple evil character.

This being in the source material doesn't excuse how lazy it is to use nazis as the bad guys.

reply

Sadly anything in 2020 ends up parked there. Starting to think I need to break from media for the next few years. There is literally no more boring, lazy way to trade off any creativity for woke cruise control.

reply

I know.

If the 70s sitcom, Three's Company was revamped today they would have a NAZI bad guy.

F'n pathetic and lazy, Hollyweird.

Do better.

reply

The Nazis are obvious villains and easy for the writers to use

I thought Stormfront was a pretty good villain

reply

Yup, and quite enjoyed the character, i wonder if they would use her more since she is not dead ..

reply

She's a great character, she got really messed up but she's still alive

What a great show!

reply

Reported for Nazi sympathies.
