Attention, I want to spoil it!
There are many words to describe a superhero, such as great, glorious, correct... dark, cruel, evil... This basically covers both pros and cons, but we generally don't use such words as dirty, disgusting, and perverted. But this time I used it.
You can't imagine that some superhero is a drug addict, in order to maintain the state, continue to use drugs, and finally lose control and crash passers-by into a pool of flesh.
You can't imagine that some superheroes are perverted, relying on their ability to be invisible, stripped of their clothes and lurked in the women's toilet peeping.
You can’t imagine that some superheroes will intimidate and lure new female colleagues into the organization and then sexually assault each other with unspoken rules.
And the most unimaginable thing is a combination of Superman and Captain America, on the surface, it's polite and full of men, thieves and prostitutes. He has a perverted lust for female bosses, a strong possessive desire for female colleagues, murders in the face of political enemies, escapes in the face of disasters, and fights for power at the expense of self-respect... a bit exhausted.
And this bunch of bad guys formed a brilliant idol combination-the "Super Sevens". Then, a group of ordinary people, either being hurt by them, or aware of their dark side, decided to walk for the sky and use violence to control violence.
This is the plot of Amazon's new American drama "Black Robe Picket", but you say it is very yellow and violent, not to mention it, it is a bit bloody and abnormal, and then the plot is startled and scary.
There is no doubt that this is an anti-superhero work. This kind of work is actually not unfamiliar to us. There are relatively few such subjects in Marvel movies, which is "Deadpool", but there are more such subjects in DC movies, "Suicide Squad", "Watchmen" , Yes, sometimes they are still willing to play the theme of superhero blackening.
But these anti-superheroes are either temporary or marginal. There are very few such superheroes and powerful ones. "Black Robe Picket" intends to give it a try on this plot. This film has created a bunch of superheroes who "power leads to corruption".
The superheroes in this drama are really no different from the idol groups in reality. They are not so much superheroes as they are playing superheroes. Superheroes are their personal design, and their daily work is to protect the human design from collapse. And Chuo Anliang's behavior is similar to an idol group holding a concert, which is a stage for display.
Since it is a stage, it is natural to choose carefully and there is no risk at all. As a commodity, idols cannot "take the show" privately, and everything must be arranged by the company. Similarly, since you have enjoyed everything about being a super idol, you must maintain your personal design. Once the personal design collapses, the company will immediately abandon it.
The newly joined female superhero Starlight was given unspoken rules by the veteran superhero Deep, but this girl is a black sheep, and did not swallow her voice, but engaged in a me too movement to expose this matter. At this time, Deep's personal design collapsed and was directly assigned to Frontier by the company. Of course, the company also has a headache for people like Starlight who don't have a big picture.
Correspondingly, fans are so dizzy about idols, not only are they frantically buying their peripheral products, but they also take care of them in every possible way. For example, when a locomotive hits and killed a passerby, this matter can no longer be concealed by the banner of justice and the company. And this kind of life-threatening behavior is commonplace for the most powerful and perverted people of the motherland.
Does it all resemble the entertainment industry? It's exactly the same. But the problem is that these superhero idols are not harmless little fresh meats of humans and animals. They are walking nuclear bombs. The company used them to play in Truman's world, in fact, it was also seeking skin with tigers. The ambitious motherland man is unwilling to be a puppet, he wants to control the game.
If the superhero loses control, what should ordinary people do? The answer given by Marvel is to include institutional supervision, such as the "Sokovia Act" that triggered the reunion civil war, while the answer given by DC is checks and balances. Batman's belt buckle has always kept a piece of krypton gold, which is To prevent Superman from getting out of control.
But if the system is not working well, and there are no checks and balances? In "Black Robe Picket", the superhero is at the tipping point of losing control, seemingly controlled by the company, but all kinds of violations of law and discipline are tolerated. And there is no means of checks and balances for them. No matter how powerful ordinary people are, superheroes will kill you every minute.
Jin Yong designed a pair of checks and balances in "The Legend of the Dragon Slayer", the sword and the dragon sword. The dragon sword represents the power of the world, and the sword represents superheroes. And the group of seven in "Black Robe Pickets" is equivalent to the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sword in your hands, you can't do anything about them.
But human beings are human beings after all, and there are always people who see you upset and come forward and fuck you. When most people indulge in the idolatry dream, there are always a few sober people who see the filth and nasty behind this painted skin. They are like Morpheus and Neo in The Matrix, choosing to swallow the blue pill, or the red one, anyway, they choose to finish.
It took a long time to talk about this group of ordinary people dealing with superheroes. The most interesting thing is that these guys are not good pie, in order to kill the superhero, they also do everything. And you can't tell whether they are for justice or self-interest. Just like revolutionaries throughout the ages, they carry all kinds of private goods under the banner of resisting tyranny.
This piece of cattle is here. Since it has broken some lofty things, I don't plan to build another one. I'll just show it to you. Just like the human body that bursts from time to time in a TV series, it is both bloody and disgusting, and it must be impossible to fight back.
The fragments scattered all over the floor can be spliced by the audience to interpret any content. And the only attitude of this show is not to be hypocritical, not to pretend to be coercive, and to be filthy all the way to the end. Just like the last episode of the series, everyone has torn off the disguise and become who they are.
