Sigh. For the last 8 decades, Superman has been a character interpreted by countless writers. He's not a 'concept.' Captain America was a popular character during WWII but ceased to be relevant once the war was over. He was resurrected in the 60s and underwent subsequent alterations. Batman was a gloomy detective in…
OK. In order to adjust the argument to your Trumpian brain, I'll avoid 'a lot words.'
Don't really agree with anything you say.
No. It's not based on paranoia. Superman has gone rogue. Batman's never been portrayed as paranoid, BTW. Obsessive, yes. But not paranoid.
'Who's more likely to impose fascism: The wealthy industrialist obsessed with violence who keeps plans to murder all his friends in case they ever cross him…'
Read Alan Moore's Miracleman for the best rendering on the super-being-turned-fascist trope. The transformation over the course of 16 issues is dealt with in an intelligent, thoughtful manner…
He is beyond it, yes. More contemporary interpretations of 'The Dark Knight Returns' wrongly attribute fascist motives to the character. But if anyone exemplifies the "fascist temptation", it's Superman, who's already a tool of the state. Batman, by comparison, isn't subject to state authority nor does he wish to…
Batman IS not a fascist! Enough already!
I think they will survive — well, at least one of them will, I'm guessing. The only prediction I'm going to make is regarding Henry (see what I did there? ;) ) I think things will take a (unexpected) turn for the worse once they have to tell Henry about their secret lives as Soviet agents. Make no mistake: that's…
Maybe the best episode of the series. Definitely contains the best scene of the series. Philip was gradually losing his nerve since the 3rd or 4th season. But Elizabeth, I think, just caught up to Philip in thar one scene. Huge turning point in the series….
Another thought: what a great way to explain Jimmy's (eventual) decent into infamy. Granted, he was always pre-disposed to being a criminal. But once you're forced to take down your own hateful brother, doing other, less-than-savoury things becomes much easier. The very act of destroying his brother will, undoubtedly,…
Yep. So, sadly, it looks like Kim maybe the next "innocent" to fall. That's my prediction, at any rate.
In Breaking Bad fashion, anyone who goes down is ALWAYS the author of his (or her) demise. Chuck, Mike, Gus, and, of course, Jimmy. That's why the show is so powerful…
nice! Holy shit, nice!
At the end of the day, there is no evading the fact that Chuck was mentally ill. More importantly, there was no avoiding that THAT very fact would come up at the hearing. The tape was the key. Playing the tape to strengthen the case against Jimmy made it a certainty that the circumstances under which Jimmy made those…
Wonderful episode. So much to digest.
'Romancing the Stone' opened on March 1984. That means Gorbachev is less than one year away from taking power. That's when will change for Phillip and Elizabeth.
