It's almost like if there are some lingering questions left about a backstory, the actual story would've already addressed them if they were any important.

There are good prequels mind you, but the key is to fool people into a new thing and then not actually give a poo poo about the original story. Better Call Saul is great except when it keeps including plot threads for no other reason than that it is a Breaking Bad prequel.

My wife and I are well into season 3 of Better Call Saul.... does it ever stop being such a downer fest? The pull of it for us was that it was a lighter show than Breaking Bad, starring a comedian, but every episode is just about how much life sucks and people suck and careers suck harder. We kind of don't need that stress in our lives, especially the career struggle bits, especially the Kim scenes. Does it ever perk the gently caress up

Where were you when the Red Keep fell on that cold and wintry day?
Down in Fleabottom with your wife and kid?
Working pits in Slavers Bay?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of
That dragonfire rising against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger
In fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and fry

Did you weep for the children
Who lost their dear white horse
And prey to the God of No-one
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for Bad Pussy left below

Did you burst out in pride
For the Golden Company
The heroes who died just doing what they do
Did you look up to the Seven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself to what really matters

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a Khaleesi or a Queen
I watch Cersei News but not sure I can tell you
The difference in Lys or Meereen

Is this... a joke? 'Cuz Breaking Bad started out as, "wouldn't it be funny if a chemistry teacher decided to start making meth for money?" with the whacky dad from Malcolm in the Middle, and became... y'know.

I guess Tony's not as much of the toxic male role model he was fifteen years ago, but still putting the son playing him in that godawful Anton Chigurh cut makes me think there's something to the movie.

I mean, the US did literally firebomb tokyo and kill like 100,000 people* so if you need a historical "fire dropped from the sky fucks up a populace and destroys their city" we sort of have one.

*Probably way more but thats the number the US and Japan agreed on.

Dany’s behavior is essentially as if USA went “give up or be nuked”, the Japanese actually caved and accepted surrender, only to get nuked anyway.

Also if we want analogs where the US bombed helpless civilians while enjoying overwhelming air superiority, there’s plenty of those too.

So a mentally unstable person, in charge of the greatest military force in the known world, recklessly pursues personal vendettas and agendas that are often nonsensical, even to their advisors? And this person feels a deep sense of entitlement to other's personal loyalty and admiration, despite it being largely unearned? And essentially everyone is being dragged into conflicts based on this person's inane whims, and even their friends and confidants are unable to keep any real control of their impulses? And meanwhile the kingdom is basically going down the toilet because this person remains in power, largely because an array of corrupt or similarly power-hungry individuals are cynically profiting from the instability this person creates while the spotlight is off them?

Sorry I really don't see any connection to the United States here!
