This is the real answer. I don’t think this show is trying to say anything, it’s just nostalgia and aesthetics of 80s film. The Soviets are the bad guys because that’s who the bad guys were in the movies and TV the writers watched as children in the 80s.
Weren't "the bad guys" in season 3 just the Soviet Union though?
Yes. They had a secret base under the mall that brought in the aliens
And the one naive Soviet dude goes to a shitty carnival and has cotton candy and it makes him understand the joys of capitalism
I'm pretty sure this show was written by a 3rd grader
The writers were in third grade when they watched the source material
