It would be cool if it were a 1% situation, i/e only a small fraction of people have sight. Therefore these people are viewed like magic users, priests, or people with scary powers.
That was one of my earliest experiences of trying to force myself to like something because I so, so wanted it to be good. Oh, young me. So foolish. You’ll keep on making that mistake.
what are you talking about, there was never a Galactica 80.....
One possibility is that they saw it and they’re trying not to trigger their PTSD.
For so many reasons posted below and for all the questions raised in the trailer, this looks incredibly dumb.
The memory of sight is so distant to these people that they view(ha!) its existence as a myth. Who is testing for mythical powers at birth?
I would expect more ornamentation that makes noise (beads that clack together, etc) and not so much with the elaborate headdresses.
Bird Box meets The 100?
All hail the make up and costume lords
I do not see a problem here. I mean you could hide them in plain sight.
One of them smeared warpaint on his face... why?
It looked good. But my man, what a dumb premise. Do we echolocate? Just superpowered hearing? Bows and arrows? How do they figure out the babies can see? They can’t see them reaching or turning their heads. Very few of them seem to have your basic vision impaired stick to help you walk and not trip on things? Might…
The idea that people would survive as a species after a world wide blinding event is laughable at best.
That drove me absolutely nuts in the trailer.
Yeah, pretty much all of these questions ran through my head as I watched the trailer. I’m sort of intrigued, if not just to see if/how they answer any of these questions. Alas, I don’t own anything Apple, so I probably won’t be watching it any time soon.
How do they know the kids can see as babies?
Agreed, there sense of tribal fashion is very well coordinated for people who can’t see.
This was my main takeaway. I would expect more ornamentation that makes noise (beads that clack together, etc) and not so much with the elaborate headdresses.
For a world with only blind people it seems to be a very visual based culture.
