Cobra Kai had some great fight scenes, if you can get past the cliche 80s tone overlaying all the action sequences.

It's kind of amazing how bad the fight choreography is across the board on film and television. Shows with small budgets I can understand but even tentpole blockbusters with quarter-billion dollar budgets just completely drop the ball on it constantly.

All I want to do is discuss the show. I don't think she's racist. I'm allowed to have opinions. If you disagree, that's great. There's really no need for this level of hostility.

Seriously.

There's a lot of white supremacist sites out there that would agree with your reading, go there.

I'm sure he posts on the character's official fan site! Weird that it was made in 1995.

Stormfront was a literal 1940s Nazi in the comics, but I guess Showfront spouting asian racial slurs and indiscriminately killing black people is just a coincidence.

Stormfront being a racist isn't a question of opinion. The character is scripted to be a racist, the actress playing her speaks of playing a racist.

I really glad they're giving Kimiko more to do and a voice in the new season. She felt super problematic and cliched in the first season.

The actress really sold the last scene of her burning hatred at the TV.

Thing is, what's to stop Homelander from declaring himself king of the world at this point? Has the show presented anyone who is on his level? Maybe they're going there with Stormfront. But other than that, the show has been pretty clear about Homelander being, "What if Superman was a sociopath?" If Vaught were to declare Homelander as Public Enemy Number One...then what? Sure his money runs out and his current brand of celebrity runs dry, which I guess he loves and is probably what keeps him in line. But if they push him too hard and he just decides to take whatever the gently caress he wants (in which case, who gives a poo poo about money?), do they have anything they can do to stop him?

Im assuming they are building up to a story like the start of Invincible. Homelander trains up his son, but his son has lived a loved life believing he is a normal human. When Homelander starts going psycho around him, his son will stand up to him and become an actual hero. (spoiled in case any one cares about not being spoiled on Invincible even though it's pretty lovely with stuff like fan service and overwhelmingly powerful woman characters constantly becoming damsels in distress)

They are gonna have to keep laying it on thicker and thicker for the ones that don't get it.


Also, good episode, I love this show so much. Great social commentary on Nazis re-inventing themselves to adapt to changing time, and showing how a small army of angry alt-right trolls can be weaponized to pollute discourse

I'm never shocked by how bad Goons are at readings TV shows or even the emotion an actor shows.

Earlier we had someone thinking Black Noir was laughing at the news report about compound-V. :doh:
