[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8876315, member: 11760"] The show is largely incoherent, but it occasionally makes nods to the fact that it takes place after the current day and that everything is cyclical. That said, the art design is incredibly lazy. The nomadic people in the wagons apparently have irons and washing machines, since everything looks brand-new. This doesn't appear to be a stance so much as everyone connected with the show other than Rosamund Pike appears to be completely incompetent. I have no idea what "70's television" means in this sentence. This is a bad take. First off, if all of these female characters you like just [I]happen[/I] to have appeared in stuff in your youth, rose-tinted glasses are a big part of what's happening to you, as it is to anyone. Galadriel [I]should[/I] be tougher than Legolas and they establish in the first episode of Rings of Power that she's been fighting orcs for centuries. Rey is just as good at stuff as Luke is, but no one questions why he's able to fly a fighter jet, outfly professional pilots and be almost the lone survivor of a suicide mission. He's just a dude and associated with your childhood memories. And I'm sorry it upsets you that white guys are dying before black dudes and women in movies. Imagine what if it was like that for you for decades. But it's hardly a consistent thing -- the first characters to die nowadays are a random grab bag, as they should be. [/QUOTE]
