none of this is new but i think it helps inform how the bloating of a production strains the vision of creators. ig its only natural when the production team isn’t just twenty people.
tbh, think literally all of this is excusable if the writing was passable! if any of the modern stuff actually tried to say anything interesting about it, with a tone to match, itd make it all feel so much less discordant !!
I really hate that modern fallout incl the show even tries to ask the question of who shot first in the great war. it's the least important question in the series
the thing that makes the first title so transcendent is how it managed to nail a specific, focused theme for the entire story. vegas is so great because every little thing fits into a wide theme of developing a postwar society, that all of the other elements bolt off of
@pond_of_lilies@mlaurencechen@NYCMayor Remember when Qatar held the worldcup? Didn’t need distraction buses then. They didn’t have fans burning things or breaking them. I wonder why that is.
i believe in rehabilitative justice, but death penalty should be administered not out of an emotional need, but a direct threat or danger posed by the individual socially (eg a prominent fascist demagogue, but not necessarily one of his footsoldiers)
polyamory is nice in abstract!! but legalized polygamy would just free up Mormons and the like to take wives to abuse. gambling is an immense social ill when it extends beyond small bets between friends.
@Vibutler_@GovLake thats exactly what they have now. why not let the historically illiberal council have more predictable turnovers? its the same thing. im not sure what you’re getting at :/
