This show has everything. It's very luigipilled and burgerpunk. It has the zeitgeist. Very nice. Did enjoy. Would recommend. It's like Breaking Bad and Fear and Loathing meets Akira and Paprika.

That's like saying you don't use an apples to grow apple trees, you use apples seeds, while apples are perfectly fine for apple tree planting.

I really enjoyed it. Just like Breaking Bad, though, my opinion is that all shows should be this level of smart, this shouldn't be the unique diamond it inevitably will become. I also don't think it needs a season 2. It's going to stuffer from the same writing issues every season 2 show has when it wraps up everything so neatly. It'll focus too much on interpersonal drama to delay and buffer episodes because they don't have a real plot anymore. It'll also pull a midichlorians bullshit when it inevitably explains too much lore about the alternate dimension powered by mother earth or whatever they decide it will be.


Yes, the writing was good, the politics were on point, the art style grew on me, and the animation was great when it wanted to be (just look at the way the turtle blinks!)

>>45628
Is it finished? Might check it out

it's too performative and solipsistic for me, the way the dialogue is written and the characters talk to each other like they're all just exchanging very rehearsed monologues instead of actually communicating, the kevin smith style of writing. takes me right out of it.

The ur-reactionary film

From time to time you get these right wing movies such as 300 and Conan the Barbarian which I call "reactionary films", i.e. any movie which is based on some hypermasculine white guy beating back the androgyne, ethnic forces of evil. Conan the Barbarian (1982) is the perfect example of this, the ur-reactionary movie

TLDR: Conan the barbarian (1982 movies) is a 1980s right wing movie, part of the Reagan turn/backlash against the 60s/70s. The witch he encounters and has sex with early through the movie is supposed to represent the evils of "free love", she literally turns into a ghost demon as she orgasms. The whole part where the girls father, the king asks Conan to get his daughter back from Thulsa Doom who is (probably) sexing his daughter. The cultists of Thulsa doom are supposed to be an analogue for hippie-commune 1960s people who tell Conan to "go back to the land" and have flower power shit. Next there's there's the gay snake-priest that tries to seduce Conan but Conan beats him up. The Villain of the movie is an ultra masculine deep voice black man (James Earl Jones as "Thulsa Doom") who has hypnotized a cult full of nubile dancing white girls into a sexualized stupor, sort of combining 1970s anti cult shit with anti hippie stuff. At the end the hippies put out their new age candles and shit and leave, and the girls go back to their fathers. All delivered by an ultramasculine white man (Arnie) to defeat and buckbreak black hypermasculinity (James Earl Jones). Essentially its the artistic reaction to undo the 1960s/70s and everything about it including sexuality, race, etc.

Long Version:

I: Introduction

Conan the Barbarian is a 1982 epic sword and sorcery film directed by John Milius and written by him and Oliver Stone. Based on Robert E. Howard‘s Conan, the film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role and James Earl Jones, with Sandahl Bergman, Gerry Lopez, Max von Sydow, Mako, Sven-Ole Thorsen, and Ben Davidson.

The film gave Schwarzenegger worldwide recognition, and in the years since its release, it became a cult film, making a lot more money on home video. It spawned a sequel, Conan the Destroyer, in 1984, and a reboot was made in 2011.

A link to quotes from the film can be found here.

Thoughts on Avatar? It's probably the most explicitly anti American movie of the decade and has strong anti imperial and anti capitalist themes.

Will it change anything?

Funny article I read comparing the initial storyline of Boruto with this movie. Made me laugh but it's kinda accurate.
https://www.fbcnews.com.fj/entertainment/avatar-the-way-of-water-has-a-naruto-and-boruto-dilemma/


The original Avatar MoCap is pretty damn intriguing. I think I like the design a bit more, in the sense that the narrower faces and less hyper-realism was interesting.

Found an interesting positive opinion on Avatar and Avatar: Way of Water. I don't wholly agree with it, but it is an interesting perspective.

It's hilarious that Sopranos and hardcore GoT fans have the exact same fandom arc. both used to brag nonstop about how gritty, realistic, and "true to life" their shows were. Then historians clowned of GoT's fake "medieval realism," and actual mobsters started publicly saying The Sopranos wasn't all that authentic either.
Now they've both done the exact same backpedal: "It was never about realism. It's about the character dynamics."

>Now they've both done the exact same backpedal: "It was never about realism. It's about the character dynamics."
anon i hate to break it to you, but i don't think anyone thought "a mobster walks into a shrink's office" was ever a realistic premise

>>47917
I don't think you understand the time period. Both when the show was airing and in its early online fandom, the community bent over backward to argue that the show was realistic. This wasn't some niche opinion, it was the prevailing attitude.

So I do this largely forum-based RP and one of the big things there is 'faction' RP, where there's a big emphasis put on geopolitical stuff. Since like 2019 I was doing RP partly as an exercise in social fiction. I also run a character who left the Jedi Order because it was full of idealist pussies and liberals. He has since become Mand'alor and rides a boomer-ass Basilisk droid into battle, it's kino shit.

The Solidarity started as a coalition of Outer Rim spacers, droids, and AGIs who rose out of a massive slave revolt during the Hutts’ collapse. By ~300 ABY, they’ve grown into a hyperstate of around 100,000 planets, running on a centrally planned economy and labor-credit system. Their alliance with the Republic is pragmatic: both need each other against the Sith, but the Republic also keeps ties with the Hutts, who are quietly reviving slavery as debt peonage.

Militarily, the Solidarity fields smaller but far higher-quality forces than their rivals, avoiding clone or droid armies out of principle; they uphold a “joint dictatorship of the organic and synthetic proletariats.” They’ve just finished a war that quadrupled their territory and can’t sustain more fighting, so their focus is political: undermining and delegitimizing the Hutts while preparing their own Force traditions alongside the Jedi.


>>46283
It's quite boring I found.


Also, I reject the idea that Luthen was a hero. He killed a comrade in cold blood. It wasn't even as if the comrade had done anything wrong, Luthen just made a calculation that he might get caught and be forced to leak what had happened and then decided to play god.

Luthen then has the gall to give a speech about how he's made all these sacrifices. But that's the thing, He made the choice to do that and that served his own personal narrative of heroic sacrifice, but he took away that choice from others.

It's weird and disheartening to see people defend Luthen's actions. If he had survived he would be at the very least court martialled by the revolutionary forces and disgraced.

>I don't write fanfic lore friendly I just do it as a take on the ideas of the setting.
For the best. Star wars is unfortunately a bourgeois dystopia on the level of the cyberpunk genre. As well as having an idealist, un-dialectical worldview, if we take Lucas "latest view" on it.

Plus, it not like the actual writers heading the star wars franchise, don't do the same thing for the content they produce. But the setting is conceptually intoxicating.

>>46112
>bounty hunter
petit bourgeois occupation. The Swtor MMO actually pulls no punches in showing how scummy the actual job being a bounty hunter would be, in said name's class story narrative. Commodification of killing and capturing people for the state, criminal elements, and capital. It's not a proletarian friendly occupation.

I only heard about this movie yesterday so I decided to watch it on Xitter for free because Elon(gated) Musk(rat) isekais himself as the MC. But I was like… how would the producers make money? So it's only up until saturday kek. Money always trumps ideology I guess.

First of the bat: I agree with the message with this movie that the governments of yurop ain't doing shit to stop migrant violence. Idgaf about leftoid sensibilities about muh migrants bla bla. If the Warsaw Pact was still around, you wouldn't be seeing this lawlessness and I never understood leftists going bonkers on migrants as if they are not mostly reactionary lumpens that would fight communism on the ground that their tribal deity said sharing is evil or some shit. So you will not get me criticizing this flick for THE MESSAGE (critical drinker voice) but the irony is THE MESSAGE was delivered in a very strange fashion. It's almost as if the movie was not made to be art or agitprop, but as a controversy piece.

The movie is low budget and you can tell most of the money went to Armie Hammer's acting salary. The SFX are alright but clearly AI/Photoshop with some practical SFX in that police shoot out scene where faces of cops explode (literally) from PKM bullets.

You can read the synopsis on wikifedia, it's pretty accurate, I'll just summarize it in my own Sinbadish style.

>the final episode does not hold up compared to the rest of the show
this is also so funny because the rest of the show is otherwise unremarkable, the ending elevates what would otherwise be painfully mediocre.

No it does not, it takes two seconds to double check: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/capeshit
>prescriptivist
Words have definitions, without these definitions, they are little more than syllabled babble. Your perceived insult is not as biting as you picture it.
>how the iran war is being described in terms of it being "capeshit" over at xitter
I don't care what idiots on soshit-media may be bleating. It doesn't matter if one or a thousand twits repeat the same nonsense. It speaks more of the immature mentality they possess than of the word/termin itself.
>even though everyone understand there are no super heroes in the real world
Again, it speaks more to their burger mindset than of the actual terminology, to make a obtuse text to life connection like that.
>i dont think you understood 2001 space oddysey
I wouldn't since it's Odyssey. I understand English not being someone's first language, but it takes a single double-check to confirm its spelling. Don't lecture me about literacy when you can't even spell a well known title.
>(You) are just particularly midwitted and can't recognize the difference between chewed cat food and roast beef

And a lack of capitalization, and redundant wording, and incomprehension of definitions and meanings and a lack of punctuation. You write like a teen with a slider phone.
>you're telling me that you want me to explain a fairly straightforward opinion on a children's cartoon
Not what I said, ironic for someone snarking about reading comprehension.
>brag
I gave specific examples to the trope in question in old literature, no more.

Gooseworx obviously messed up by making a character that demands a greater familiarity with trans genderism, than an average audience member would have (irl Jax being a boymodder according to the creator).

Anyways the craziest thing to me is how the fans have not only turned on goose but have began making shit up about the “lore” and stuff. People are posting about how goose getting banned on tumblr will lead to us losing all the lore that she should have included in the show. And I am left wondering, who gives a shit about the lore?? Who cares about all these insignificant background elements? What caused this obsession with lore in modern fandoms?
