  • I feel like we have to expand on the idea of "you're annoying" here. I feel the annoyance comes from criticism, not the attitude. We have regularly annoying people all around us for every possible discussion, but they come into consideration only when the topic is these very interesting forms of media.

    Also, as a rule of a thumb I don't ever accept the point of "you should see it first". You don't have to do that for anything, and this is coming from someone who has seen the capeshit and the Barbie. We all discuss the terrible aspects of many terrible things, but now we have to take part in those activities to do so? When the shit bits are the whole point of the movie, you can obviously see through the charade without even watching it.

    I haven't seen Top Gun, but I can directly say it's a "cool American pilots" movie. I have seen Avengers, and Captain America is the "Big Brother USA" person. Why is my first opinion invalid all of a sudden?











  • I also wanna chime in with the Three Mile Island show run by Netflix. There was an incredible change on the language when the disaster was not the responsibility of the "baddies". I remember one scene where the energy company literally lies to the local government saying there's no radiation leakage. However when they're doing a press conference, the company officials just say there is. And the head of the local government is just like "Oh no, bummers" rather than, "Holy shit you guys lying about this is almost as big of a disaster as the meltdown itself"


  • I think in the director's commentary they do mention of how interesting it was that people would sacrifice a lot for the common good and it wouldn't happen in US. Also though, I wouldn't give too much credit to the show, due to showrunners literally breaking the fourth wall every 30 minutes to say "Did you know that Soviet Union is baaaaaaaad?"

    Yeah actually, as far as I know it has some backing from the structure of those languages. The American Indians are not very similar to the others though. This was before the archeological explanations of how the North America was settled via the Bering Strait. So back before the findings which proved the Bering Strait theory true, another settlement theory was some lost continent which housed different Asiatic people and Native Americans.

    Nowadays Turanists are still semi-relevant in Turkish politics, supporting different nationalist groups. The scope of the Turan changed though, they don't harbour any brotherhood to Finns or Japanese. Modern Turan seeks a pan-Turkish union of modern day Turkey and Turkic states on the Asia.
