But maybe you shouldn't listen to me, I couldn't get through Andor because of the silly Star Wars shit, and everyone else on this website seems to love that show. Perhaps I just have an unusually low tolerance for the franchise tie-in bullshit that American storytelling needs to be coated with to get a production funded. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] weeb_lenin@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago Nah, you're not entirely wrong. Peacemaker is probably the best tv capeshit, but it's still capeshit. I like Andor, but it's slow and isn't entirely standalone. The show that I can't get behind at all is The Boys. It's practically the definition of mindless capeshit slop, the main spin is that it's cynical, but that's just the trend. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CommCat@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago* (3 children) I thought I was the only one here who couldn't stomach more than a few episodes of Andor. People here were talking about Andor being some Young Stalin adventures and stuff lol, got to when Mon Motha was introduced then couldn't stomach any more Star Wars shit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] SickSemper@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago Good thing you didn’t get to s2, it was basically a parade of glup shittos with a dash of revolution building permalink fedilink source parent [–] T34_69@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago (1 child) I feel you about Andor. The main character didn't have a whole lot in common with young Stalin, people were definitely hyping up that aspect so it was inevitably gonna be disappointing. People were making it sound like actual Marxism in star wars, lol. I still enjoyed it but I kind of had to choose to enjoy it, if that makes sense, still haven't watched the second season. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] SickSemper@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago Also I’m pretty sure the young Stalin book Gilroy read was montefiore permalink fedilink source parent [–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago Star Wars is become genre, destroyer of original settings. It’s gonnna be like westerns. We have good subversive westerns, turn the genre upside down stuff, but they are westerns. So now it’s star wars permalink fedilink source parent [–] Keld@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago* There is a weird thing about cuckolding, it's very tied up in the rest of the dc stuff, and if you dislike the quippy shit from marvel movies youll hate this because it turns that shit up to 11. permalink fedilink source parent [–] D61@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago Its enjoyable slop. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Creakybulks@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago yes. permalink fedilink source parent
