Chucking out all of the sex stuff is good when it is dumb period sex jokes or unnecessary CIA hatefucking, but bad when it is religious pedofiles or systemic misogynistic sexual abuse. If you're gonna do an unsubtle show it comes of as a bit cowardly and quintessentially American to only embrace the violence, although I hear they've been allowed to do more of it by Amazon starting with season 2.

Larry Parrish posted:im not sure I've ever seen a single big TV show I could say was overall good. theres just ones that had more enjoyable moments than they did network tv bullshit happening. like theres not one I'd want to rewatch over and over like i have hot fuzz or ghost in the shell. i guess I've rewatched literally all of aqua teen like 3 times so maybe that's the best TV show in my opinion. leftovers is good as hell

I binged the Boys comic and I can't really say it's "good", the show seems an improvement in almost every department. Irredeemable was a much more interesting "what if superman but bad" story.

Leftovers is great because it's about people learning to make sense of a world where nothing matters. Watchmen is terrible because it is Lindeloff admittedly trying to "troll both extremes." It's the most lib show of all, where the message is that black people need to take off their masks of revenge, and where the "correct" take of having unlimited world altering power is to never use it.

joepinetree posted:Leftovers is great because it's about people learning to make sense of a world where nothing matters. 'World altering power is fundamentally bad and makes the world a worse place for being' was pretty much the point of the original Watchmen comic, the tv show's rebutal was that actually it's good if you give it to WoC. So yeah still the most lib poo poo imaginable.

Pirate Jet posted:watchmen HBO ends with the same ending I’ve seen in a lot of lib media lately where the way to fix the world is to leave the levers of power in the hands of people of color. knives out and seemingly now lovecraft country have the same ending. the obama administration already happened and nothing got better, but this isn’t Lindelof and the like forgetting that it did, it’s just that Obama’s main distinguishing characteristic from Trump is that he was better at preventing the problems of the nation from reaching the doorsteps of the ruling class. it’s a bad show folks I mean my take was that she was using her powers to cripple vought's supporters and engineer a situation where she would be in power and able to theoretically wrangle their poo poo and get them under control not that she was just like popping heads for fun but illiteracy is cool too

The boys as a comic is incredibly of its moment ie 2004 and i can't imagine it playing as well in 2020 if you didn't already read it There's some bits that are still interesting, like the idea that the boys don't actually win in the end, just force some neutered stalemate, because you can't beat capital, but then also "disney branches into drone strikes" is a way more interesting version of vought
