calling it a riot rather obscures who was doing what, and what they were doing it was the 1921 Bombing of Black Wall Street

Anywho, based on that framing and the naming of the 7th Cavalry as the white supremacist cult, my main theory is the show, plotwise, will be about white supremacists and a complicit police conspiracy to start a new civil war.

I really really liked that tv adaptation and i'm worried that the watchmen tv show is just going to be retreading the same conceptual space (what if super heroes were bad people) without enough to differentiate it. seems like watchmen is a smaller scope story focused more on racism? i'm actually gonna have to watch this show aren't i.

The Boys is going to be less about superheros being bad and more about corporations being poo poo, the MIC being poo poo, and the desire for revenge being an awful stupid thing that destroys you if it's even sort of like the comic. Superheros bad is just the hook to get you in the door No fuckin idea where this show is going yet tho, too soon to tell

this reminded me of a Chuck Palahniuk interview from 2002 in Too Much Coffee Man Magazine quote:Through a bite of grilled cheese, Chuck says, “In a way I relish that. I don’t think the current system is going to give us a new system. I think things are going to get so bad, there won’t be evolution. There’ll be revolution.” No problem, I think to myself, if Bush gets two terms in office. “All it would take is another Depression,” Chuck continues, still chewing.
