Disillusionment

Vivienne 2022-12-19 18:21:09

The biggest feeling of this work is that Anna (Starlight) has longed for "The Seven" since she was a child, but she was bullied on the first day. Even in the end Billy Butcher wanted to avenge his beloved wife, but finally found out that his beloved wife was alive. This is probably the disillusionment of life. At this point, if you were Starlight, what would you do? You want to quit? That was just a retreat choice. Starlight didn't want to disappoint her mother, so she chose to persevere. After that, she learned that she was not born with superpowers, but that her mother deliberately made her, so what? If it were you, what would you do? What about Billy Butcher? What will happen to him? Some things, you went to participate, but you don't know how big the pit is. Although Everything comes with a price, the most terrible thing is that you often don't know what the price is and how big it is.

The theme of this work is very good, but it is obvious that the handling of Starlight Disillusionment is not good enough, and it does not dig deep and does not give many shots. I hope that the disillusionment of Billy in the second season will impact me.

    I've seen a lot of heroic movies, and also seen a lot of villain movies, but this kind of villain posing as a hero to slander and deceive the world is really novel. The first episode is full of high power, and the savior and the incarnation of justice in people's minds are all beasts in clothing. As soon as the newcomer joined the Super Seven, he was brutally subjected to the unspoken rules of the superhero, and if he didn't obey, he would threaten you. When the locomotive killed innocent people, instead of feeling that he had done something wrong, he told others as a joke. The transparent person is a wretched uncle; the natives of the country who are saints on the surface are actually hypocrites; people who know the black material of superheroes will be killed; people who are hurt by superheroes will not get a sincere apology... They are beating bad guys all day. In fact, they are the biggest villains. The more you see behind, the more terrifying: they watched the victims die but did not save them. Instead, they threw the pot to the parliamentarians to prevent them from entering the national defense system. If there are no villains to fight, they will fight with the rebels themselves. Even the reason why they have superpowers hides a huge secret. What's more terrifying is that the people are still kept in the dark, thinking they are really heroes.

    The most explosive super British drama in recent years, or anti-super British drama: the capitalized super British world, super British is the black hand of the US government, various behind-the-scenes marketing management, various disgusting unspoken rules, all kinds of obscure. The whole show slapped Chaoying, slapped fans of choice, slapped idols, and even slapped religion in episode 5.... The rating is 18+, bloody enough, heavy-mouthed enough, true enough, enough Interesting, the special effects are true, and the plot is not scumbag!
