I also feel like the show plays it too safe for my liking, like being afraid of killing off major characters or traumatizing comic relief characters like Ty Lee, and the conflicts resolve too quickly sometimes. This show has many trappings of other kids shows, I don't understand why it's considered the greatest show ever. Like, Sonic Forces is mocked for constantly reminding you about the power of friendship but aren't ATLA's characters just outright stating the moral of the episode just as blunt and unsubtle? I dunno, maybe I'm not understanding something. It's like after I've watched Gurren Lagann. Everyone kept saying it is the greatest show ever but I was just like: "Eh."

>>45316
Tbh a lot of adults badly need the moral of the story to be bluntly stated these days.

Zuko backsliding is fair IMO. He'd been away from his family a long time and with the possibility of getting back in his father's good graces it's somewhat understandable he'd go that direction. The conflict is also foreshadowed earlier in scenes with Iroh (vid related) so the idea that they changed this to deal with Mako's death doesn't seem likely.

>>45336
>I also feel like the show plays it too safe for my liking
That's a studio decision for the most part. Which doesn't change the end product but it's less "playing it safe" and more working within certain limits. Jet's death in particular screams that the studio wouldn't let them be more explicit.
>This show has many trappings of other kids shows, I don't understand why it's considered the greatest show ever.
That's because of other things in the show, like the character arcs and world building, not because it lacks characteristically kid-friendly elements. Good show isn't synonymous with "not for kids."

>>45337
>Tbh a lot of adults badly need the moral of the story to be bluntly stated these days.
Well, maybe these adults need to
grow up.
>with the possibility of getting back in his father's good graces
It would have been nice and dandy if he didn't collaborate in imprisoning his own uncle whom he supposedly loves and then actively berate him while visiting him in prison. It's clear they either needed an excuse for Iroh to be silent as they search for a new actor or for Zuko to return to the fire nation.
>Good show isn't synonymous with "not for kids."
Neither is it synonymous with "for kids." The typical cliches and limitations of kids' shows may negatively affect the plot too. When it comes to adult animation at least it doesn't have imposed limits (even though often the kinds of shows which get greenlit in America are crass comedies). And I'm not even talking about web animation 'cause there the sky's the limit, you can literally draw whatever tf you want. As you watch more and more shonen however you kinda start understanding the complaints of the seinen crowd, even though enjoyable shonen do exist despite all the cliches and pandering inherent to the demographic.

Hello Sisters and Brothers, I'm looking for some recommendations for TV shows to watch that have a communist tilt to them, or are straight up communist.

It has been such a pain in the ass trying to watch a show that isn't either subtly Zionist or just straight up pro-US imperialism. Watching Scrubs and the Afghanistan war episode comes up. Watching Modern Family and there's constant references to Bar Mitzvahs (with Israeli flags). Watching fucking Hannah Montana and there's a Afghan war episode. Like I know that's ridiculous to mention but I'm trying to say the rot runs deep in essentially every piece of media we watch

I have included The Good Place as good example because although it's not explicitly communist, it is a show all about how Capitalism has made the world hell and only revolution can solve the problem but it still kinda distances itself from that by saying "revolution in the afterlife only". Still the best we've got

Does anyone have any recommendations for stuff to watch?

For what?

File: 1776303251938.gif (1.81 MB, 650x390, wendy.gif)


Found and made a recipe for something that has the texture of tinga (shredded chicken/pork stewed in a spicy tomato based sauce)
Needs:
Shredded sweet potato, shredded carrot, oregano/thyme, cilantro, canned chipotle peppers in adobo, vegetable stock, onion, cauliflower, garlic, tomato (boxed or freshly diced), salsa del pato
1)Gently saute onion and garlic in a pan
2)Lightly brown your cut up cauliflower. I imagine other inserts like mushrooms and such would go excellently here.
2)Add the shredded sweet potato and carrot, let it cook for a few minutes and stir.
3)Make your sauce with some mixture of these in the blender:chipotle peppers in adobo, garlic, onion, cilantro, oregano/thyme, tomato, vegetable stock, salsa de pato (this is one is a brand, feel free to experiment with another one or a home made one).
4)Add your sauce to the pan, cover and let simmer on low to medium for 20-35 minutes, add some more vegetable stock if you wish, ideally the sweet potato, carrot and cauliflower should soak up most of the sauce/stock by the end.
I made a vegetable stock with some white onion, oldish green onions, celery, carrots, oregano and thyme

A recipe for squash stewed in a spicy tomato based sauce
Squash, onion, garlic, serrano, tomatoes, canned corn, black pepper, salt, cilantro
Sauce:
1)Roast tomatoes in the the oven for 20 minutes (you can of course do this on a cast iron on the stove if you want it faster and with more of a nice char)
2)dice onion, brown in a pan, add in minced garlic, pour half of the mixture in the blender with serrano(s) and roasted tomatoes

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.

the show is based on 3 short stories, this first season was the first one, and the second one is imo the best, so the next season should be even better

>dim witted

while definitely a bit slow, the man nonetheless has the "commoner wisdom" aplenty, and a decency that clearly lacks in the upper classes, which makes him very sympathetic. Only a commoner like him that learned chivalry from a jaded hedge knight can both recognize the story of lords and knights being honorable as obviously false, and still buy into it by applying chivalric principles himself

I also like that you see why the baratheon rebellion was successful: nobody really likes the targaryen, they're still perceived as foreign invaders with regularly cruel crazy lunatics in power, and without the actual dragons to enforce their rule they're very reliant on the big regional power lords which have plenty of rivalries among themselves.
The second season will expand a bit on the latest targaryen civil war where ser arlan lost his nephew (leading to him taking dunk as a squire as replacement and becoming a hedge knight out of grief), while still being grounded in the day to day of dunk

it's so fucked up how the show makes you root for dany

The Seven Kingdoms was promised to her 300 years ago

The Targ conquest of the seven kingdoms was historically progressive. Hang all maesters, exterminate the aristocrats, elevate the common folk.

>>47472
It would have been almost perfect (and I say this very seldom) if it wasn't for the shit, fart and dick jokes. I don't know why they had Dunk catapulting feces in the fucking opening scene.

I guess it's the medieval reality of constantly having a stomach bug and having to shit under trees, but did we really need to have this in the opening scene before playing elevating music?
>It has almost none of the grimness and politicking that were the staple of the original series
There is politicking, just more subtle. The scenes in which petty nobles talk shit about the Targs were enjoyable foreshadowing.
