i want to like this but i can't help but notice it's pushing heterosexual propaganda onto innocent children which normalizes these filthy acts and grooms children into becoming something they're not, i respect straights but i hate when they shove their fetish down our throats
This show has to be some of the worst written slop online and I'm tired of being nice to people about it, so here are an author's thoughts.
> The show literally throughout the entire series assumes you care a lot more about these characters then it actually gives you a reason to. By episode 2 it's trying to hit you with huge emotional beats that just don't work if you're not terminally in the fanbase.
> The show throughout the ENTIRE series suffers horrible pacing issues. It constantly focuses on irrelevant or unimportant details while refusing to actually answer questions the audience has, and the last episode is the most guilty of this.
> Pomni acts out of characer in the last episode which leads to Jax "abstracting."
> Soma WITHOUT THE CONSEQUENCES.
The ENTIRE POINT OF SOMA IS THE MC IS DOOMED FROM THE START TO DIE. NOT LIVE IN A FAIRYTALE WORLD FOREVER. The gal leading you through the game repeatedly tells you YOU will be getting on the ark to escape, only for at the last minute for it to be "Oh, yeah your consiousness made it - but your current form/consiousness is definitely dead. But we saved the remnants of humanity, so yay!" While simon realizes he is going to die cold and alone at the bottom of the ocean. Also, the original simon is ALREADY DEAD. Here it's "not only are your bodies happy, but you're ALSO going to live happily ever after in a digital circus where all your hopes and dreams can just happen now that caine isn't batshit insane!" This is just a worse way of doing soma. Everyone's happy, noone really loses...except the abstracted individuals?
> Caine's "arc" is insanely rushed
> So they have a bunch of abstractions but they don't even touch on TRYING to fix them over just sending them into a dark place? I feel like a far more interesting finale would have been them trying to figure out how to get Jax and all the others back? Wouldn't this literally be priority #1 now that all the "main threats" are dealt with now that caine is back?
> Why did all these people have access to the headsets and what happened to the company that made them, they - oh we're just ignoring that too okay.
> The implications of this sort of technology are completely ignored in a worldbuilding sense? Cool!
> The entire 9th episode is just "The therapy show" with no actual real threats (jax's abstraction has almost no weight to it, nobody actually seems very araid of the abstraction compared to episode 1, and the process happens entirely offscreen robbing the "movie" of some much needed tension) and even caine is pretty much just solved by him having introspection. Cool, whatever I guess. At least episode 1 had the dignity of giving us a chase scene or SOMETHING.
> Pacing. Pacing. Pacing. Holy Pacing. Pacing. Pacing.
> This should not have released in theaters. Episode 9 is under an hour long. which is why they had to include episode 8. Feels like they saw iron lung and just wanted a piece of that pie. The runtime gives nothing time to breath while the pacing rushes through pivotal moments like a methed-out homeless person chasing the last hot dog left behind after some poor minimum wage employee left the door to their fast food joint unlocked.
> Yeeting the blue orb into the void. I don't even need to elaborate.
> The fanbase deserves to be hit by an asteroid and the guy who sat next to me at the theater literally smelled like human dookie.
> I don't even want to comment entirely on the whole "jax is trans" thing, but I do want to point out the irony of a brainscan which chooses the literal "most appropriate body" for you giving jax the character it did if this is actually the case. Insane subtext and a huge misstep if that's what this is supposed to be LMAOOOOO
Honestly I have no idea why this is so popular.
Two girls, aged 14 and 15, were raped multiple times in separate attacks by three boys aged 13 to 14. The boys filmed the rapes while laughing and later shared the videos. They were convicted on 10 rape charges, but none went to jail. They only got Youth Rehabilitation Orders. Once again, the system protected the boys’ futures while destroying the future of girls.
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.
