remember when hollywood tried to make catwoman a franchise with halle berry and decided that what catwoman really needed was a bizarre half naked dominatrix outfit with cat ears that bore almost no similarity to the way the character was popularly perceived

most of the women centered movie ideas during hollywoods last woke phase were so amazingly bad its an open question whether the people making the movies really were that stupid or if they were trying to tank the idea of women led blockbusters on purpose

HELL SERPENT
Lipstick Apathy
One early episode of Jack Ryan begins with a Syrian father out in the boonies teaching his son to wash up, to pray, to take care of his grandfather, and then they share a tender moment as he drives away on a motorcycle

As the man gets a few miles out from the city, the motorcycle is then blown up in an instant, and we're made to understand that he was killed by drone strike.

The drone operator is slipped a one dollar bill by his partner for a "good shoot", and he folds it reluctantly. The operator is clearly suffering some kind of emotional trauma from this work, and we see one wall of his apartment covered in individual one dollar bills, numbering what must be in the hundreds.

He takes all of them down and heads to the local casino to spend it all ... except he ends up winning bTig at the roulette table, and that makes him feel even worse

Some lady at the same table starts hitting on him, and they eventually hook up, except it turns out she's married, and he gets beaten up by her husband when they're discovered

And that's the context in which he shows up to the drone facility the next day with a black eye and fat lip, at which point, his partner "jokes" about him getting beat up by a "tranny" that he must have tried to pick up.

he whole point of this mini-arc is supposed to make us feel like A. drone pilots suffer from PTSD also, and B. the Syrian child we saw at the beginning of the episode is now without a father, and THAT'S SAD

But it's never questioned whether America should be doing any of this in the first place.

___

Much later on in the season, the wife of the Syrian Bad Guy runs away from their estate after discovering that he's been working with and training Islamist radicals. She takes the kids with her, and enlists the help of a sympathetic uncle.

They get discovered by the husband's goons, the uncle is killed trying to help them escape, and then the wife is assaulted, and is heavily implied that she's about to be raped.

This is when the camera pans out to inform the viewer that they've been watched by that same drone operator we met earlier this entire time. The operator makes a snap decision to fire a missile without getting prior authorization, and manages to target the Hellfire missile in such a way that the Islamist militiaman assaulting the wife is the only one hit and killed by the missile, without significantly harming the woman. The woman escapes the dead man's clutches, runs over to her children, and continues the journey.

The operator sees all this, and it's heavily implied by the look on his face and the swelling music that this was a redemptive moment for him. He did something good, for once.

im assuming we all just want to yell about how our cartoons arent communist enough i dont think anyone really cares about spoilers

the new Dark Crystal series on Netflix could easily be read as Marxist allegory, but I don't think it's necessarily intentional the way, say, Little Witch Academia is.

The Dark Crystal show is good, folks. "Age of Resistance" is a bad title, but the show is good.

todays ironically stupid superhero movies are just obnoxious as all hell because they still expect us to switch gears and start crying at a moments notice because the vague father figure that made sarcastic quips just heroically sacrificed himself over contrived bullshit

i started watching the jack ryan series and one cool thing that's happening now is that the bad guys in poo poo like this are victims of the american empire, but must still be defeated anyways. like the villain saw most of his family get blown the gently caress up by us planes in 83 and i guess now he wants revenge? i'm supposed to not sympathize with him?

there's a scene in episode 2 where some cia higher-up is like "he's got the same motivation as the rest of them: death to the west, create a new caliphate" and like... that's not a motivation, that's a goal. and jim from the office just sits there dumbly and goes "i think... he's different..."

London Has Fallen is a deeply fascist movie where the main bad guy is an arms dealer, but also his whole family was wiped out by a US drone bombing his daughter's wedding. At the end he's taken out in Yemen, also by a drone bombing, and debris spews across a busy street full of people minding their own business. This is supposed to be the triumph of the movie.

also jack ryan is the most mary sue rear end character ever. he's a former marine and lone survivor type who got out, became a doctor of computers or money or some poo poo, went to wall street but quit because he's too "moral" and then joined the loving cia. and despite being some goober who sits behind a computer and tracks financial transactions he's totally buff and will kick "terrorist" rear end. every time someone calls him "doctor ryan" i can't help but laugh
