think they’ll adapt the scene where the Commie Smasher Captain America assaults a bunch of black men to get real Cap’s attention or would that be considered too on the nose?

yeah, in the real world holden would've been spaced long ago by any number of the actively competing factional interests.

when i posted it, i was also thinking about the mirror universe episode of enterprise and how that is actually looking more like where we'll end up.

dumb humans almost destroy each other in nuclear fire, cobble together a warp drive, inadvertently attract the attention of a potentially benevolent partner, kill them and take their stuff, poo poo up the rest of the galaxy.

It's been a while since I've seen Tomorrow Never Dies, but I feel that an villain trying to start a war for ratings doesn't work because within three weeks, the war will become normal background noise even as bodies pile up, and viewers will lose interest.

'The Last Narc' on Prime was fantastic. It's a real palate cleanser to the pro-DEA nonsense of Narcos Mexico. The kidnap and murder of Camarena was 100 times more hosed up than they depicted in the Netflix show.

I'm surprised it's on an American streaming service, since the liberal media (the news and Marvel films) loving loves the CIA who effectively murdered Camarena because they were afraid he'd discovered the CIA were trafficking drugs to help right-wing terrorists in Nicaragua.

The CIA is comfortable with a certain degree of cynicism and self-flagellation when it comes to its public image nowadays (see: Patriot, Black Panther, The Report, etc.) The implication is always "shucks, we sure did some awful poo poo [in the past] but we're older and wiser now!"

the weirdest thing about Narcos Mexico was that after a few years of seeing the surreal excess of the Colombian cocaine cartels on regular Narcos, Mexico expects you to get worked up about some dudes growing pot. basic rear end weed. who the gently caress makes a show about reefer madness in 2018? IIRC they even had an episode where the Mexican weed growers meet with Escobar to talk about moving cocaine, which is just a reminder to the audience that the stakes used to be much, much higher.

I still really enjoyed all of Narcos, both because of the great performances and the fact that it's mainly in Spanish (which is a treat for an English speaker), but what a missed opportunity to shine a light on the DEA and the war on drugs.

quote:

Carano shared the posts on her story late Tuesday night. One of the posts she shared compared today’s divided political climate to Nazi Germany.

“Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views,” the post, which was originally made on a different Instagram account, read.

Another photo on Carano’s story featured a person with several cloth masks covering their entire face and head. The caption said “Meanwhile in California.”

Both posts were removed from Carano’s Instagram story Wednesday afternoon. Other posts, including a quote saying “Expecting everyone you encounter to agree with every belief or view you hold is loving wild” and one saying “Jeff Epstein didn’t kill himself,” remained.

Ayep. She's one of the many MMA women who made a big fuss about Fallong Fox a number of years ago. And even more recently, she got in the poo poo for making fun of the act of sharing pronouns.
