This show is spot on ...

Depicting both sides of the political coin.

How can anyone watch this and think it leans one way or another?

It's depicting MAGA exactly how it is. If you are mad at that, my question is, why? The lies about the other side and the vaccine and basically everything that is lied about is shown.

And as far as liberals go, they portray them the same as they are. Weak, caring about things they don't need to care about and running their mouths but not doing a damn thing about what they are saying.

How can anyone say it's left or right? They are not stretching any truths. This is how we are all acting today without any super heroes. The vaccine causes autism is exactly how the vaccine is seen today by some.

To not like the show because it is telling the truth is dumbfounding. That just tells me that you can't handle the truth.

agreed. very balanced, but I think only independents see it that way. Gives me great laughs when they make fun of the extremists on both sides.

[–] greentimemusic (1069) 4 months ago

Yea I think the show is hilarious. The politics and chants and signs make me feel right at home.

To me it's just amateur writing leaning on current political events. I stopped watching South Park when they wen't through the woke principal and Trump episodes. They're creators, so create something fucking unique, not piggyback on outrage.

The saddest part is that they achieve exactly what it's planned - jewish subversion of a country, splitting on "red/blue" (both sides will find themselves in this shit show and blame another) and internal conflict.

You you just stop watching when anyone makes fun of your side?

[–] thed0g (39) 4 months ago

Define my side, the oracle of the internet? I piss on your hilarious divide between "red/blue , black/white, left/right" division your masters are instilling in your mind.

[–] greentimemusic (1069) 4 months ago

You are the one that made references to woke and Trump. I'm only going by what you typed.

No matter what side you're on, if you stop watching because you get butt hurt, seems like you might be thin skinned.

Allow me to correct my statement.

So you just stopped watching because someone makes fun of your beliefs?

[–] thed0g (39) 4 months ago

Not really, I watch it because I invested time into, why not finish it.

I'm looking forward for the last season of The Goys.

It's called satire. It is quite difficult to get right. In your opinion SP was being uncreative. Maybe you should read books that deal in that genre.

[–] greenvelvet (166) 18 days ago

I agree about it being amateur. I thought it was quite clever at first, then I realised they were just copying events and changing them slightly to meet their world. That's not hard to do.

"jewish subversion of a country" what does this even mean lol

[–] itsbananas2024 (1733) 4 months ago

It's depicting MAGA exactly how it is.

Holy shit. You think MAGA is just like HOMELANDER and his hooligans? Fucking yikes.

I dont even care how the show depict certain people but when people start making the claim that it's just like real life, there's a problem.

btw, have any Trump supporters rioted after the attempt assass yet?

[–] greentimemusic (1069) 4 months ago

So you see no actual correlation between Homelander and MAGA? At all? Seriously? Nothing????

1. Blindly following
2. The chants and signs
3. The anti vax and claims
4. Anti abortion
5. Their colors and dressing
6. Their threatening behavior
7. Almost all white crowd

And you see NOTHING similar?

[–] LanceDance (1298) 4 months ago

Homelander's followers are what the writers think the MAGA crowd is like. They're a superficial caricature, a bad parody, and not accurate.

[–] greentimemusic (1069) 4 months ago

So then you are literally saying that right right isn't anything like the following;

1. Blindly following
2. The chants and signs
3. The anti vax and claims
4. Anti abortion
5. Their colors and dressing
6. Their threatening behavior
7. Almost all white crowd

So the right doesn't do what Trump says. They don't have let's go Brandon signs and flags and hats. They are pro vaccine. They are pro abortion. They don't wear red white and blue. They don't have a threatening behavior and they are not white.

Yea you've definitely made your point.

The first two at least are much more a staple of the liberals ... also 5 and 6. And who are the most toxic liberals? Yeah, the white ones.

[–] itsbananas2024 (1733) 4 months ago

1. Blindly following - That is a small fraction of Trumps base and no different than the Vote Blue No Matter who people (who are probably in greater numbers)

2. The chants and signs - Chants like "4 more years!! pause!!"? Or the recent chants at Kamala's recent speech about locking Trump up?

3. The anti vax and claims - I cant fault people who are suspicious of things like this given the track record of politicians, pharma and just the World's Government History.

4. Anti abortion - Theres nothing wrong being pro-life.

5. Their colors and dressing - ?? are you talking about red hats and red ties? Im not sure about that one.

6. There threatening behavior - The jan6 crowd is an isolated and coinfined to a small non-representative fraction of Trumps base.

7. Almost all white crowd - Does that mean it's inherently evil or bad? (everything that ive seen from Trumps base is that they will accept anybody).

The interesting part is that everyone thinks they're the "good guys".

[–] FilmBuff (7234) 4 months ago

The depiction of MAGA is very inaccurate, to the point where it's comedically wrong. What it absolutely nails is the PERCEPTION of MAGA by those on the left, and therein lies the comedy.

[–] greentimemusic (1069) 4 months ago

I see. So the depiction of the left is correct. The depiction of the right is so far off base that it's funny?

LOL

Gosh it's like having a discussion with a 5 year old.

[–] FilmBuff (7234) 4 months ago

Where did I mention anything about their depiction of the left?

[–] asom (6824) 10 days ago

He forgot to mention he is the 5 years old ...
