But weren't there a bunch of people attending the ritual that was captured on videotape? Sorry if I'm missing your point and getting hung up on semantics. Eric Cantonese has issued a correction as of 17:09 on Feb 26, 2024 |

They also videotaped the rituals, the implication being this is snuff that's getting passed around. Rust's rambling meanwhile was certainly one part drunk sadguy rambling, but was also one part being a meandering rear end in a top hat on purpose because he doesn't trust the cops at all. In the timeline he pretty much gets out of the interrogation room, calls Marty, and says "yo meet me at my storage unit gently caress these fucks"

Tuttle family members were implicated but they were dead and/or untouchable, the Childress gardener was just the last man standing of the muscle/procurers, if that makes sense

idk what point people are trying to make about it "just being one guy" when it's clear that Childress was just the only piece of the puzzle in a relatively unprotected zone. That's why he was the one part of the conspiracy they were able to find and prosecute - that doesn't mean all of the stuff involving the elites was like a Red Herring or whatever.

The red herring was the metaphysical poo poo that a lot of viewers at the time wanted to be real. I remember having watch parties were people were mad the yellow king wasnt an actual yellow monster. The real story was "the powered elite are all violent sex monsters and get away with it all the time" The denouement of the season iirc was that the info got sent to the press, the one guy got officially charged, while the family and anyone involved vehmently denied it, per some news report playing on the background. I haven't seen it in a while but I think those were the contours.

Pulcinella posted:Very funny for how much capitalism likes to promote the idea that the all the money should go to the capitalists and not the workers because the ownership class takes on all the risk, they are very risk averse. The wealthiest companies are the most risk averse. Disney should be incredibly well equipped and financially able to withstand creating new things even if they flop, yet can only buy up and produce old ideas (e.g. flooding the market with cape poo poo and Star Wars). The more risk averse they are the faster they burn out currently financially viable ideas. Same in video games with GAAS or plastic guitar games. The more the rate of profit continues to fall the more they run that poo poo into the ground. Capitalism can't make new ideas, only strip-mine existing ones. I was just watching a Defunctland video and there was a speech from Michael Eisner that basically summed this up. To paraphrase, he basically says that to have amazing hit movies, you have to risk some of them being total duds. To get A+s, you have to risk some Ds or Fs. But instead today all major studios seem to aim for C+. Risk aversion has gone from "let's study risk and how risk/reward works" to "how do I make sure I have literally zero risk"

I think the "metaphysics as a red herring" is annoying to people because Rust's residual hallucinations are similar to like Shivers in Disco Elysium, "sometimes the universe talks to you and whispers secrets that point you in the right direction" and you don't actually get to know whether it's God having a direct line to your brain or you're just delusional and lucky and happened on a coincidence. No one does. That's not a satisfying answer but unfortunately it's the one all of us have to live with.

From what I've read it's on Disney+ literally everywhere except the USA, where it's on Hulu for some reason (even though I believe Disney has a large stake in Hulu if they don't own it outright at this point).

Also I think the James Gunn one did well, if it didn't they probably wouldn't have done a TV spinoff

Fake edit: This led me down a rabbit hole of looking up super hero movies + release dates. There are two Shazam movies? Three live action spiderman movies in 4 years (thought there was just two)? What the hell are The Marvels and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Elemental Masters? Need to start spraying, there is an infestation of these things.

The second one was really good actually and it set up the Peacemaker series which is also quite good. John Cena is a treasure e: also it has a dude provoking a bunch of neo-nazis into a prison fight and then absolutely brutalizing them the show not the movie to be clear. The movie has a really good gag clearly modeled on the part in Predator where they assault the rebel camp or whatever Professor Beetus has issued a correction as of 17:59 on Feb 26, 2024 |

And I felt like the first few episodes hint at there being more people that actually committed the crimes. Rather than just getting off on him committing crimes and protecting him. I am so sorry for continuing to carry on about this I just don't think I've communicated myself properly.

He was the single loose thread that was able to be caught. e: The Tuttles buried the bodies on the childress land because he's already the son of a bastard son. You are able to fold the operation and pin it all on one person who is relatively disconnected. He's inbred epstein lol Pepe Silvia Browne has issued a correction as of 19:23 on Feb 26, 2024 |

Rust finds child porn at Bishop Tuttle's place and the tent preacher gjy talks about how the Tuttle Schools were covering up abuse. Tuttle's father (also the father of Sheriff Childress, burnface's dad) sexually abused his grandkids. There's plenty of men in the rape (also murder I assume??) movie Rust shows Marty and given the status of the Tuttle family (one is literally state governor) to me it's obviously implied other elites were involved. Which makes all the more sense when the news report on burnface dismisses out of hand that anyone else was involved

Childress himself outright says he was a product of the cycle, he wants to do what was done to him, "to all the sons and daughters of man". He was raised getting abused by the real criminals and when he grew up he turned into their hot new talent. e: slightly late.
