jehurey 3,222 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I like how they had one of the villains say the alt-right's catchphrase of the past couple of years. "its hard being a white man" show is outright mocking them. they're trying really hard to pretend that they botched the show, even though the episodes actually keep on getting better and more epic.

Just got the second volume of the vinyl set today, its packaged as if its the American Hero Story official soundtrack with a picture of the tv version of Hooded Justice on the front. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James Skywalker 528 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Spoiler Dr. Manhattan was Jon. Angela Abar's called her husband Jon. He had no idea Jon was inside himself because he said his name wasn't Jon. Then Angela took some artifact out of his deceased head.

If it makes you alt-right'ers feel any better, by the end of the episode, it seems to allude that the "Seventh Calvary" group is just a smokescreen that some other thing is behind all of this. But, its obvious these alt-right'ers got triggered because a spinoff cult based on Rorschach is a just a white extremist cult. That's not a crazy thing. White extremism usually take things that aren't directly related and they use for their hate causes. In this case, Rorschach WAS a fascist, he clearly had those tendencies. Its no surprise that his absolutionist dogma was warped even further by a simple hate group. What's more interesting is that the black lady also appears to share the ideology as Rorschach, she has a small piece of dialogue in the opening episode where she says that "all those colors only exist to disguise the real truth, that the only real colors in the world that matter is black and white." She has the same absolutionist mentality. Why exactly do you hate the Alt-Right? Seems to me you just think you're smarter than white people, so you like to disparage them.

In fact the last few episodes have being purely focused around racial issues and they have been the best eps yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let me know when I've described something about them incorrectly........oh, wait, if I had you would've corrected me by now (because that's what I would've done, this is assuming you're as smart as I am).

Rorschach wasn't a fascist as much as he was a reactionary. Two different movements. When Rorschach was presented with a black doctor, psychiatrist, whatever he was, that black doctor was confused, trying to confront the fact "he was right about everything." It's been a long time since I read that graphic novel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was a misogynist, he would even insinuate that certain crimes against women WERE tolerated because they were sluts or whores. He says he's one thing, yet he doesn't actually fulfill that code.

He's going against the modern current, he isn't trying to create a universalized racial family state structure, where the health of one person of the race affects the health of the whole, which is fascism.

What you went into was the text definition of Eugenics. Facism is usually a government who says that they uphold a certain ideal to supress others, and usually are hypocrites themselves. That's facist behavior. Facism doesn't have to exclusively involve racism, but racists almost always resort to facism. Y'know what I mean? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lindelof celebrated his Bar Mitzvah in Teaneck, where he attended synagogue for the Sabbath; he has stated, "I was a Jewish white kid growing up in Teaneck, Imagine my shock. Aren’t you white btw?
