In the past few days, because of a fruit photo, the whole network is boiling and celebrating...
Tsk tsk, another bloody case caused by hand slipping.
However, the people who eat melons are all moved by the spirit of the US team to save the country with their own bodies.
Really, power comes from the barrel of a gun!
The superhero motto of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", is the practice of the practitioners who practiced it inside and outside the film.
In this day and age, everyone knows what a superhero means.
They rule the box office, social networks and pop culture.
From food packaging, T-shirt printing, to huge billboards on skyscrapers...
In and out of play, everywhere.
They carry the audience's beautiful vision, and the image highlights the "divine nature".
Is it natural?
The new drama I'm going to talk about today does exactly the opposite, playing a ruthless game:
The powerful force in the story, the image is no longer absolutely great, bright and right.
A group of shameless bastards sit on the seat of God , and the only ones who can tear these "saints" off the shrine are—
Let's briefly review the story of the first season.
It all starts with an otaku.
As a brainless fan of the super idol group "Super 7", the cashier Hughie of the video store has a meager income;
But to call for idols, to believe in krypton gold, it is not relentless, comics, figures, posters and other surrounding areas are full of rooms.
Until her girlfriend was smashed into flesh in front of her .
The last second was full of love,
The next second "skill" is different.
And the culprit of all this is the locomotive in "Super 7" , you can also understand it as a low-profile version of The Flash.
Ironically, the perpetrators weren't busy saving the world at the time - they just couldn't stop because they were out of control on drugs.
The baptism of his girlfriend's blood made him see the ugly faces of these hypocrites, and joined the "black robe picket" under the lure of another male protagonist Butcher (coming later) .
Who is the picket?
"Super Power 7".
It is simply a low-profile version of "Avengers" + "Justice League".
The bandit leader "Motherlander" who debuted in the C position , the setting is just like a mixture of Superman + Captain America.
Blonde, blue eyes, stout figure.
In front of the media camera and when taking photos with fans, he is amiable and charming.
In reality, it is a ruthless giant baby .
In a rescue operation of a terrorist organization hijacking a plane, he easily dealt with the human thugs, but also destroyed the entire plane because of being handsome.
In order to maintain a perfect image, he can even ignore the passengers on the entire plane and watch them die in vain.
Simply heinous.
There is also a "transparent person" in the group, who will use his stealth ability to hide in the bathroom naked to peep.
The "deep sea" that spoofs the sea king is very worthy of the extended meaning of the word "sea king" in China——
The young and beautiful new partner joined the company on the first day, and he hurriedly stretched out the claws of sexual harassment in the workplace.
Well, in terms of perverts, you superheroes are really invincible.
However, this group of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods are just marionettes.
The man behind everything is a large multinational corporation - Walter Corporation .
This company has almost monopolized the agency rights of all superheroes on the market.
They peddled superhero services to crime-ridden cities, sending superheroes to cities like club players.
Are you excited?
One big mouth, 300 million yuan a year!
Expensive? Whether you leave or not, there are other cities lining up to get it.
In addition, their careers span billion-dollar global industries such as film and television, cultural derivatives, theme parks, video games, and are supported by corporate lobbyists and bipartisan governments.
The huge forces make government departments look at their faces, and their next plan is to enter the national defense industry, intending to incorporate superheroes into the national defense security system...
Super villain stone hammer.
Such a power that covers the sky with only one hand, how much more than a working boy in an audio-visual store is suffering from it?
Butcher , a well-known federal agent, is also not immune to bad luck.
Butcher originally had an enviable happy family.
His wife, Beautiful Kochi, works for Water Company.
Yes, it is the multinational group that covers the sky with one hand, and it is the breeding base for those super monsters.
Suddenly, Butcher's world is ruined by "Motherlanders". Wife was sexually assaulted.
After that, he disappeared mysteriously, and he has not heard from him for 8 years.
So he ignited a raging fire of revenge.
So, he recruited troops everywhere, and the black-robed picket was born.
After some investigation, they found that these superpowers are not actually gifted!
Instead, it was injected with "compound 5" by Walter as an infant .
They're not "God's Chosen" at all, they're just downright laboratory products.
In the second season, the investigation of the "black robe picket team" gradually unfolded, and a more absurd truth was discovered:
In order to enter the national defense cause, the "Motherlanders" secretly handed the "No. 5 compound" to terrorists, thereby creating "super villains" ——
The dragon slayer eventually became a dragon?
more than.
In order to have dragons to slaughter, they did not hesitate to create dragons.
This is the most different part of "Black Robe Pickets": Huang Baowu is just a pediatrician, and black humor is just a seasoning.
A complete subversion and deconstruction of superheroes and absolute power, a keen insight into the filthy reality in the abyss of hell——
It's hard food.
The show takes out what has become normalized in American culture and ruthlessly snarls.
And those who are behind the capital operation are the focus of the attack.
In 2006, the original comics began serialization on DC's wildstorm label.
However, it was cut in half due to the scale and content of the 6th issue of the serialization . Fortunately, it was finally taken over by Dynamite and ended in a good death.
The original work has the willfulness of an "adult" comic work, and the content contains a large amount of large-scale content, extremely explicit sexual images, bloody extreme violence, and objectification of women, racism and homophobia far beyond the standard of ordinary comics.
Politically incorrect to the extreme.
When the series was adapted, only large-scale parts were retained, and some sensitive reversing elements that did not cater to the mainstream were all deleted.
In the past ten years, the current situation has undergone earth-shaking changes. The drama has added a lot of magic to this part:
For example, the heroine "Xingguang" faced a series of magical operations after joining the "Super Power 7".
And the mockery of this play directly hitting the entertainment industry gives the screenwriter an opportunity to directly echo the "MeToo" movement that is currently in full swing.
Starlight got the opportunity to enter the Walter Company through layers of audition and audition. Compared with super powers, the company is more interested in beautiful appearance. Rookie female employees have to endure the boss's rubbing and obey the company's revealing packaging of objectifying women...
Sitting on the right is a new character introduced in the second season - "Storm".
Judging from the currently updated episodes, the addition of "Storm" is completely the style of the "Motherlander":
For a while, it was the independent women of the new age.
After a while, it was a bloodthirsty violent maniac again.
Abuse blacks, kill Asians.
The "political incorrectness" mentioned above is almost maddening.
And all the absurdity we have seen - of course, it is inseparable from the packaging exposure of the company's team, the marketing and promotion of public opinion, the maintenance of image and public relations, and the escort of strong legal affairs.
Compared to saving lives, red carpets, road shows, advertisements, filming, and corporate promotional videos are the top priorities.
All acts of kindness serve the purpose of selling image to the public.
It's really hypocritical.
In such a large environment, the easy availability of superheroes makes most ordinary people join the army of consumer heroism without hesitation and hesitation .
The personal will of the people is constantly being eroded, and they can only gradually become blind followers like guinea pigs. In their eyes, such "brainless" and dull "fans" are as cheap as grass mustards, and they can be bullied and sacrificed at will. plaything.
Sure enough, it's spicy, and it hits the nail on the head.
This drama portrays the people in this way not because there is no sympathy, but if a product is to be effectively satirized, it must be accompanied by criticism of its audience to some extent.
And it's not enough to just expose the brainless people who entertain themselves to death. This drama is more about the incitement of social media, the easily deceived people and the tyrants in power, which has led to the corruption of the "Holy Trinity" in the United States in the 21st century.
"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Lord Acton's words have become the iron law of modern politics,
And this show comes at just the right time, and nothing better exemplifies this theme than the current state of America.
The evasion and understatement of COVID-19 has led to the deaths of thousands of people, all just to keep stock prices rising and the interests of those in power.
The play is full of jokes and almost absurd portrayals, but it pierces the real image of society with a sharp eye, and captures the reasons behind this bad phenomenon.
Every episode of "Black Robe Picket", after a series of thumping sensory stimulation, it seems that you can see some kind of super "hero" that is extreme and not magical at all-they don't need laser eyes, invisibility cloaks, Teleportation and the power of the Great Desolation.
They have an ability that is more terrifying than all of the above combined, and that is—
Totally shameless.
