Jo Jo Rabbit used to be a comedy

Why is the Statue of Liberty making what is clearly just an awkward hand gesture and nothing more?

[-] bob_lemon@feddit.org 2 points 2 hours ago

In this AU, the statue of liberty was a gift from Italy rather than France. It's a Roman salute.

[-] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 6 points 7 hours ago

the statue of liberty just sends love from its heart … right?

I really wish this show and book were just fiction rather than sci-fi.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 40 minutes ago

Yeah, it honestly didn't need it at all.

First season was astounding, powerful, alarming, and interesting. Second season, it is obvious they fired the wriiter who was the showrunner and ended up making the entire second season forgettable.

[-] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 8 points 13 hours ago

I haven't watched any of it yet. Would you say that it's worth just watching the first series and forgetting the second, or does the second series wrap up some story lines ?

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago

The 4 seasons are worth watching. Most of it is actually really good, but it does get weird in the last season.

[-] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago

I'd say it is overall worth it. Goes from Fiction to Sci-Fi

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 5 points 13 hours ago

Okay, so here's the deal. This show should've had 5 seasons, not 4. Everything up till the middle point of season 4 is AMAZING. After that, they have really rushed it n made it quite illogical.

The ending is underwhelming. That being said, I would highly recommend u to watch it. The story's just really really good. Certain twists and payoffs are veeeery fascinating. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed how they wrapped the show up, but some people didn't like the ending

[-] prole 4 points 13 hours ago

It's based on a Philip K. Dick novel, but I didn't watch more than a few episodes so I can't really say how much it strays from the book.

[-] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 2 points 12 hours ago

Didn't realize Blade Runner/Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was based on fascism.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 36 minutes ago

But they're a slave race that gets denied personhood despite being literally physically identical to biological humans by a mega corp that has destroyed the planet(s) (humanity has space colonies but it doesn't really come up) and has taken on the power of the state?

Move to the neutral zone

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

I didn't realize before that the show had a statue of Elon Musk.

[-] PyroNeurosis 5 points 13 hours ago

See, what's striking me is the similarity berween the Tesla logo and the Reichsadler.

[-] NOT_RICK_SANCHEZ@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Buckle up for season 2!

The US is nowhere close to being a Nazi dictatorship.

[-] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2 points 36 minutes ago

Maybe im really in a bubble and reading the wrong articles, but im seeing nazi salutes to the flag, and companies are allowed to fire non-whites.

Please correct me if im wrong

[-] Dekkia@this.doesnotcut.it 15 points 12 hours ago

The US is currently closer than ever before. Time will tell how far that is.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 33 minutes ago

Segregation, slavery, and Manifest Destiny? When it was a literal patriarchy on top of all three?

First time in living memory perhaps.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 18 points 13 hours ago

There are whole sections of the story that show American suburbia as it would have been known in the 1960s, except with Nazis. Churches are repurposed to worship the state rather than a god, but are otherwise unchanged in their layout or services. When the Nazis took over, they found plenty of people willing, even eager, to collaborate.

The whole point is that America was never that far from fascism to begin with.
