How do you feel about comic adapatations that include social and political commentary?
Its interesting that the boys adaptation swapped out post 9/11 political references for modern day politics.
The Watchmen Tv series did something similar.

real patriots don't blindly accept authority so based
Yeah, frick the founding fathers and the constitution!
>a character say that all lives matter right before he flips out, kills some black dudes and goes on tv to call them Antifa
This happens all the time IRL. The persecution complex is strong in white America
>This happens all the time
Weird, because the actual statistics on this are that blacks are the vast majority of mass shooters.
No but I think we all wish it did.
I mean, even the founding father said "the constitution should be updated every generation" so do we trust what they said or not?
Commentary is fine, it gets boring when it's shoved into the dialogue. They straight up have a character say that all lives matter right before he flips out, kills some black dudes and goes on tv to call them Antifa. I don't even totally disagree with what Seth Rogan believes but this is still trash-ass writing for babies.
enemy of god, white people LITERALLY act like that
Can you please make better shitposts? There's no way you really thought this would rile me up. You have to work for it.
good thing you replied to make that clear dumbfrick
You're welcome.
That doesn't make it good writing, which you'd have gotten if you had good reading.
So you wanted more nuance with the way the super-powered racist addresses those he oppresses?
Sorry but it's current year and people been saying the quiet part out loud for a while now.
It feels like a weird, circular way of defending the racist by attacking his depiction.
>Sorry but it's current year and people been saying the quiet part out loud for a while now.
And? This isn't how people have conversations. Your response of "They don't do it" was covered by my post, I want them to do it because they aren't. You're a fricking tree stump.
I don't remember it being a conversation, it was more of a town hall speech. I just don't see what you're comparing this dialog to that leaves you so dissatisfied. It seems pretty real to life to me and that other anon. Are there any other parts of the script you object to or just the ones the accurately depict bigots?
>So you wanted more nuance with the way the super-powered racist addresses those he oppresses?
Yes. A confused old lady who calls an asian a k-pop chinaman is not literally equal to hitler, you brain-fried troony.
If you wanted nuance, expecting it from an over-the-top property like The Boys (and I mean the comic as well) was your 1st mistake.
I mean, do you want to make more racists? Cause this is how you make more racists. But please, do continue.
All commentary from Hollywood is the same, which gets boring real quick. It's all progressive point of view, if the writers do attack progressive causes it is only because the cause is not progressive enough.
Perhaps a tried retort, but Manga is more diverse with its messages. You do get politics, but they can be very varied and often weird and particular to the author.
free speech unless it makes fun of me, got it
No one is censoring you but your own failure before the free market, homosexual
rabies equals culture warrior, got it
They do a bit of calling out corporations for being fake progressives.
They parody it with Vought doing focus tested pride and blm commercials with maeve and A-train.
>They do a bit of calling out corporations for being fake progressives.
right, but that's just
>if the writers do attack progressive causes it is only because the cause is not progressive enough
>if the writers do attack progressive causes it is only because the cause is not progressive enough
I don't think the issue is it not being progressive enough. I think it's being facetiously progressive because all they're doing is trying to sell their product by tying it to a movement for a moment/month/etc.
That's like Christians criticizing pastors who enrich themselves instead of preaching from true belief.
>Manga is more diverse with its messages. You do get politics, but they can be very varied and often weird and particular to the author.
You clearly aren't japanese.
My normie friend is in awe of The Boys. I just don't get why people are so easily impressed
1. It's new to them
2. They don't have the brain rot this site causes so they're capable of finding enjoyment in things.
I love modern politics, identity politics, and trendy controversial events being pushed into all my venues of escapism! I love it! I love being reminded that society is collapsing, the world is awful, there's an endless culture war going on and ESPECIALLY that there's nothing I can do about it! I love people who can't separate reality from fiction forcing all their campaigns and gripes with problems that won't matter in 4 years into it!
It's totally not what I've been trying to get away from for the past decade!
Thank you.
You do realize the comic did exactly that as well?
Yeah. If you read the whole post I said the comic had post 9/11 politics.
I did.
If the comic is set in a world similar to ours except there's superheroes, then it's fine to include. Supes have to deal with saving/helping regular people who live in a world where that shit would still happen.
Frick that. Look at actual crime stats, stop simpimg for shitskin criminal filth and realize they genuinely are sub human and need to be put in gas chambers.
No one even mentioned which political issue. Way to wear your racism on your sleeve, dumbass.
>Looks up crime stats
Huh, I guess we should get rid of the blacks, whites, and Latinos and replace them with immigrant Asians and israelites
what are "modern day politics" exactly?
I can guarantee there's nothing modern about them.
Have you watched the show?
I can guarantee you're wrong.
Almost every celebrity was friends with Trump until he ran for president
That should tell you something about the man's character that so many people were willing to drop him
maybe it tells you something about people.
>loud mouthed braggart gets dropped by all the people he associated with
>nuuuuuuuuuuu trump was a victim its all the israelites fault waaaaaaaaaaaah
Ok
It's kabuki theater, Trump gave those same celebrities large tax cuts.
I dont watch shitty live action adaptations to begin with.
You're honestly missing out. Anthony Starr (Homelander) is really damn good.
I like it mostly. This last episode way too on the nose though.
i hate that they already mentioned Cinemaphile twice, as stormfront supporters, all we have here is shitposters why are we still seen by media as the nazis
there are nazis in this thread complaining about an anti-white agenda the show supposedly has
show me these nazis
>anti-white agenda the show supposedly has
that's real
Blame pol
>Don't lie my little stormchaser
>why are we still seen by media as the nazis
Because /misc/ has long supplanted /b/ as the face of Cinemaphile.
Literally every thread about anything that isn't 100% straight white men gets derailed (and sometimes those do too).
Because we hate raggots and Black folk so we kinda are nazis
it's preachy as frick and ham-fisted
I dropped the show after the first season because of it
>How do you feel
Are you a Black person, a homosexual, a woman or some combinition?
Why do you get upset over words on a screen? Are you telling me if it said "What do you think about..." instead, you'd be fine with it?
show had potential but then it didn't
it went from very good to dog shit to ok
it's just propaganda at this point not even commentary. there is no analysis or nuance, no exploration or exploitation, only judgement. so it fails at making me think, and because it put all it's eggs in that basket it's cant make me feel. yet i cant stop. it's like a train wreck. but it's not even a good train wreck like shera. it's a boring sad train wreck, so i guess it's more like a pileup really. it sucks, is forgettable, and i cant get out
Depends on if its in the source material or not?
