I just wanted to hear the thoughts of some comrades. I feel like the whole show is a dagger pointed right at the heart of amerikkkan culture and capitalism.

I'm not the most savvy on catching all the themes or lib brain worms that find there way into media, but it speaks to my disdain for the culture. The cynical narcissism of the supes (and holy shit their sexual pathologies), the capitalizing on things from every angle, the military jingoism, the soulless use of humans for capital, the commentary on the rot at the heart of the beast, and the religious cults preying on people. It hits for me, and I hate it all at the same time.

Anyway, hope ya'll have a great Christmas or holiday, at least a break from the meat grinder.

Edit: Oh, and the fucking rainbow capitalism, it's pretty spot on.

I think it's awful sadistic gore porn. Whatever it's supposed to be a critique but it feels like you're supposed to have some kind of libidinal response to it. I couldn't watch past the ear-popping scene in early season 2.

Yeah, the gore especially really turns me off to it. I've seen some wild stuff, but some of the death scenes are over the top. I feel like I'm watching some bootleg grindcore.
