how are they just now getting that litterally 0 media analysis skills that’s not only missing subtext it’s straight up missing text
chuds reading “the curtains were blue” and concluding that the curtains are orange
What always surprises me is not how they misinterpret the outright text in these films. I mean, i can watch a right wing movie and develop a leftist analysis, that makes sense, but these people seem incapable of even doing that.

Season 2: Homelandar’s aims are almost exactly the same as a Nazi, but he feels uncomfortably with the label

End of Season 1 Episode 1 has him laser down an aeroplane with a child inside gazing at him with adoration. Within the show its the first evil act we see and it’s a bit of a twist because up until that point you’re supposed to assume he’s the only good superhero.
Turns out he’s the absolute worst and he goes on to commit more and more atrocities throughout the show.
