I’ve been unironically saying this for years. Cartoons and other media for kids used to be subversive. It always pitted kids against comically absurd adults, and the kids always won, which I thought was a good message along the lines of “don’t talk to strangers”
All cartoons now are just boot licking.
Paw patrol is such a meme by now, but everything people say about it is completely true. Whoever has creative control of it is a fascist, 100%. At best they’re a bootlicking “libertarian” AKA… a fascist
It’s honestly work to try and make sure my kids aren’t subject to any copaganda in their TV shows for literal toddlers.
We were so hung up on whether Zootopia was turning a generation into furries, that we didn’t consider whether it was turning a generation into cop loving fascists
Didn’t we?
furries infiltrating the police: net good or bad?
Wasn’t that more or less entirely the discourse tho?
Good joke otherwise
I love how Robin Hood (in general, not just this version) has next to no real canon. It’s all just a hodgepodge of fanon that people have collectively decided to keep or abandon to suit their particular story.
Maid Marian is Hood’s love interest? Someone just added that later and everyone rolled with it. What is she like? Up to the author.
Shit is so much cooler when copyrights arent there to fuck it up.
fanon
Basically why I love fanfiction.
This story ends in a bummer? Well fuck that, now it’s a Bakery AU and everyone is trans and gay.
This is great except most Americans don’t know what a common is
That’s the REAL tragedy.
also watched it recently and i agree. my partner thinks it was suppressed because it had some messaging that was incompatible with peak Cold War
and yeah i guess that was an era where the best you could hope for is a benevolent monarch. no Free Yeomen Republics or anything to be seen
I was super surprised to see that critics pan it on rotten tomatoes 58%, my ass.
It’s kind of a mixed bag, I’ve noticed. Because on the one hand conservatives love the anti-tax messaging, but they hate the give to the poor messaging. So they don’t know what to do about it. Personally, I think that leftists have a lot learn from the story’s ability to transform criminals into heroes in the mind of the masses. If you haven’t seen Lucio, I very much recommend checking it out. Lucio Urtubia was behind the funding of a significant chunk of the leftist movements of the 20th century.
nope haven’t seen it but i will check it out! ty comrade
Welcome
from the thumb you had me excited about a grimdark 3d disney robin hood remake starring voice actors Ashton Kutcher, Craig Robinson, Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Kristen Schaal, Ben Shapiro, Michael Jordan, Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, Lavell Crawford, and Mindy Kaling.
I’m sure it’s just a matter of time.
What could a “grimdark” Robinhood even be if it isn’t basically just the movie?
That one from 2018 where Robin Hood (here called “Rob”) is a Lord who gets drafted into the third crusade. It has a fight scene modelled on the Iraq war, including such highlights as a
machine gunarbalest nest.lol, that flick rocks! so many negative reviews from legacy media critics over anachronism, like they are all suddenly 12th century historians and find artistic license offensive to their dissertations on Mercian fashion or whatever-the-fuck. i thought it was a creative re-imagining that kept the important themes, punched up the action sequences spectacularly, and emphasized the modern parallels with a sledgehammer. aka: a great popcorn flick.
insurrectionary folk tales like robin hood last will last forever because they are for the people.
This fuckin rules I didn’t know this existed. Hilarious
Goddammit if that shoulder carried crew-operated ballista didn’t activate some neurons.
I refuse to believe that’s real hahaha holy shit.
