Only seen episode 1, loved it. I really don't think the atheism side is being presented as obviously good; Mother is sorta "proven right" in a sense but she's also indoctrinating Campion with blatant hypocrisy. She tells him to never let his mind find comfort in fantasy but her following her own insane fantasies is what leads to her rediscovering her power. Also she literally shapes her face and voice into lies in order to comfort her son. I'm not saying these things are wrong, but it seems clear that the teachings contained in her programming are terrible, and whether she ultimately is good or evil seems fairly separate from which side she came from.

The show may be hamfisted but I don't think it's attacking the actual beliefs on either side. IMO it's more about war objectifying people no matter what side they're on, and political groups on either side using the same methods and stuff like that. Like, I think it is being absurd and aggressive in its insulting portrayals of both the Atheists and the Mithraists, but I don't think it's attacking "atheism" generally, or faith for that matter.

Finally caught up on the last two, still loving this poo poo. I hope somehow Father ends up as some kind of replacement for the Trust that everyone actually likes because he just wants to joke around and help everyone have a good time. I dunno it's a reach, it's just, Campion (I think it was him) mentioned how easily Father's mind could be taken out and put in another body, and I loved Father's weird little moment processing that fact and what it could be hinting towards.

"It was..... delayed self-defense" was absolutely the line of the episode for me. Every now and then I forget this show is a comedy and then they smack me in the face with a moment like that.

pile of brown posted:I mean, she wasn't wrong. They would have absolutely murdererd her on sight. Once a charismatic cult leader declares their explicit intent to murder you, in a post-apocalyptic hellscape killing him and his cult follwers including someone who has already attempted to murder you, can be self defense. Oh btw, apparently this is already the second round of that Twitter contest. They're gonna be doing a couple more drawings for "first prizes" i.e. the Vrille figure, and then drawings for the grand prize, a Raised by Wolves branded Oculus Quest 2, from 3/17 to 3/20. Normally I don't follow stuff like this but between this show being insanely cool, and the Twitter engagement seeming small enough, it seems worth entering some of these. I would proudly display the murderbot figure at home. Martman fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Mar 11, 2022 |

Also I think they have been so traumatized by the global war that they have kind of lost any sense of how to live a normal life, and have extreme PTSD and stuff
