The trailer in a nutshell:

A female androgynous looking android

is raising some diverse politically correct children

with the help of some non-white android: these are the good guys.

Then you have some evil white men and some cgi creatures attacking them.

No kidding, That's it.

EDITED: I copy drhouse comment, spoilers from episode 1:

Spoilers: Oh too bad, based on episode 1, it looks like every guess was wrong :(

"A female androgynous looking android" "is raising some diverse politically correct children"
- except... all but 1 dies, who is white

"with the help of some non-white android: these are the good guys."
- except... she brutally murders him while she mentally breaks down and goes psychotic

"Then you have some evil white men and some cgi creatures attacking them."
- except... the evil men (no creatures) were mixed race, including black... and all but 1 dies, who is white

No kidding, that's it.

It seems that while the trailers seemed fully woke, perhaps the series won't be. That's good news, but I still wonder why they went woke in the trailer. Perhaps they were trying to pander mainstream media so they would promote them?

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

BUT.... are things as they seem? Perhaps there is more depth to who is right and who is not.

Also, expect mixed race EVERYTHING from here on out. That's just how it is going to be. There is also no reason to NOT do that. I mean really, who cares, except for those who are racists (not you, just genreally).
People play CHARACTERS, not colors.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Being mixed race myself, I get really miffed that people are complaining so much that the increased presence of mixed race actors is some kind of woke statement. Growing up, it was so disheartening to never ever see people like myself on TV, as if we don't exist and don't matter, even though there are plenty of us in real life!

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I respectfully disagree. Yes people play characters. But a character has a color. It's part of its identity. Blacks are proud of it —as they should— but whites can't be anymore. That's where the irritation of many people comes from. It's also okay to take black people to play historically(fictional) white characters but when white people do it, it's pejoratively called whitewashing. This new double standard and political correctness that comes with it is really annoying.

Honestly, I don't mind that a new character, like the android here, is played by a non-white actor. And hopefully, like you say, there's more depth in this series that will nuance things up better than "colored people and women = good people ; white men = bad people".

Let's watch and see before starting to yell.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I'm an old white guy, and TOTALLY feel what you are talking about. But, like I said, it's just how it's going to be from here on out. I just kinda ignore race etc, unless the specificity of a stereotype affects the plot or something.

[–] Drooch (5333) 4 years ago

It will only be this way ‘from here on out’ if you submit to the woke racism. I outright reject it.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

vote hollywood with our wallet? I'm not going to miss a great movie because the lead is a different color. I could care less. It is a warning/lesson for those that take issue with it.

[–] Drooch (5333) 4 years ago

It’s not about the lead being a different colour, no sane person cares about that, it’s the constant demonisation of white males (notice how in The Last Jedi all of the villains were white males, and all of the heroes were any combination other than white and male) and overtly forced diversity whereby, for example, the ads before the movie are crammed with black faces despite blacks being only 3% of the UK population.

This woke anti-white racism will eventually lead to whites identifying themselves as ‘white people’, which historically has been a very bad idea.

The sooner we drive a stake through the heart of the woke cult the better for everyone, and that means not buying tickets to woke propaganda posing as ‘movies’.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I see your point, and I do agree with you completely. Yet, the world is going to do dumb $#!t that I can't stop no matter what.

IE I can reject it all I want and I'll have no effect on any of it. I've already tried.

[–] Drooch (5333) 4 years ago

All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

Every little helps, even discussions like this online, can help to red-pill normies. The truth resonates with every human heart, even if it takes a quiet moment later on to truly hear it.

Good people have faced greater odds than this, and won.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I agree, but I am old and have lived that part and retired from it. Younger people need to pick it up, but they are kinda gone already.

[–] Drooch (5333) 4 years ago

Continue to do nothing if you want evil to win. Your call.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

hahahhaha maybe if we riot more, kill more, loot more, that will fix everything! :D :( :O ;)

[–] Drooch (5333) 4 years ago

Why?

[–] PrimeMinisterX (8711) 4 years ago

These days the world won't let you forget about race, and if you try to forget, they'll beat you over the head with it, either telling you how horrible you are if you're white or how oppressed you are if you're not white.

[–] maximmm (3338) 4 years ago

Well - considering that the population of the US is 70 percent white....
I think it's clear we should all make all characters from hereon out gay and trans of brown color in order to help the US population connect better with their peers. ^^

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

personally, yes, I feel it is all a huge mistake. BUT, follow the money: "We're doing a mostly white cast, that will surely be blasted and boycotted for that" or "we're during the CURRENT hot button thing, and mixing everyone in" ... who's going to attract investors first?

It's ever only about money first.

[–] maximmm (3338) 4 years ago

True - we should also recognize that a fairly significant percent of the blm protesters are white teens/young adults - the platinum demographic for the studios. If young white people are all turning woke, then studios have to become woke as well.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

yup. is just business .....UNfortunately

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Wokeness ruins everything.

[–] NotoriousRio (12927) 4 years ago

I just watched the trailer after looking at the provided images, she's really the good guy?

It looks like Westworld…season 7. 🙄

[–] bozo_500 (13119) 4 years ago

dude..its like this now.. how woke you think everything gonna be in the 22nd century or whenever RBW is set?

its probably going to be the most accurate vision of the future for some time

[–] kukuxu (5409) 4 years ago

The 22nd century won't be Woke.

The most likely scenario: China will be the main superpower in Earth, the Big Boss. Asia will rule. Right now Wokeness benefits them, since it's destroying their competition, but once they control global politics, chances are they'll start to eradicate it.

US will become another standard Latin-American country. Hispanics+Blacks. Brazil is the most obvious example, and they don't like Wokes very much.

Europe is likely to become Muslim. Think Middle East, Lebanon, Turkey and similar. Again, they don't like Wokes.

If there's androids, they won't look like the ones in the series. They will look Chinese, Korean or Japanese. I don't think there's gonna be any kind of technological development outside of Asia in the next centuries.

Since Asafamily (above) has deleted his thought-inspiring comment 😁, I'll leave here what he was saying: that I was dirty racist and I deserved to be lynched. Well, who knows? Maybe his wish will be granted. I hope not. 😎

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

"I don't think there's gonna be any kind of technological development out of Asia in the next centuries."

Did you mean America?

[–] kukuxu (5409) 4 years ago

Or Europe.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Oh ok. You meant outside of Asia. I misunderstood. But yeah... they have the wind in their sails, like we say. They will not slow down soon.

[–] kukuxu (5409) 4 years ago

Damn, you're right. My fault. I corrected it.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

No problem. 👍

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

Who cares? We'll have all the best PhDs and scholars in critical race theory, gender studies, fat studies, etc. We'll be glad we have them when the lights go out and the sirens start blaring out.

[–] Nicko's Nose (1651) 4 years ago

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a post from you where you didn’t call something "woke", you’re honestly annoying as shit.

[–] kukuxu (5409) 4 years ago

Well, I checked you last messages and I don't think I've seen one where you weren't insulting or name-telling some other user. You seem to be a dear 😄

[–] liscarkat (18410) 4 years ago

Is the main evil white guy Michael Shannon?

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

The show will be a flop, wokeness is a disease.

[–] desepticon (166) 4 years ago

Lol. More reactionary, moronic drivel based on nothing. Just watched the first three episodes. You are full of shit. The story is quite complex and it is not so simple to say "these are the good guys and these are the bad guys." You should probably shut your mouth when you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

[–] kukuxu (5409) 4 years ago

More reactionary, moronic drivel [...] You are full of shit [...] shut your mouth [...] you don't know what the fuck

Look, it's widely known that religious people like religious content: Mormons like Mormon evangelizing content, Muslims like Muslim evangelizing content, and Wokes like Woke evangelizing content. It's natural you like modern Woke series. There's nothing wrong with it.

Of course, you are prone to react quite emotionally to any criticism to Woke content. Again, it's natural. Religious people can become quite emotional when their faith is criticized. It's understandable that you become emotional since your faith has been criticized.

However, you should be aware that non-believers are not gonna share your enthusiasm. Wokeness in particular establishes that white males are the root of all evil, which is often portrayed in Woke series. So it's logical that mentally healthy white males are gonna be critical with Woke content.

[–] desepticon (166) 4 years ago

Here's the thing though, the Atheist robots are the villains. Or at least, they definitely aren't the heros. That throws your woke theory right out the window. So, you basically just made a bunch of assumptions based on nothing more than your own imagination. Probably because you can only understand the world through your own warped view of reality. You wrote a whole paragraph full of nonsense based on nothing. You need to do better.

[–] kukuxu (5409) 4 years ago

I copypaste from the original comment that opened the thread.

Then you have some evil white men and some cgi creatures attacking them.

Besides the usual evil white males, they added cgi robots as villains, which appeared in the trailer too. Guess what? I already put it in the opening comment a month ago.

[–] desepticon (166) 4 years ago

"Besides the usual evil white males, they added cgi robots as villains, which appeared in the trailer too. "

Wrong again. Travis Fimmel's character is not evil.
