The black robe picket, although I don't know why it is called, it is indeed the most profound superhero movie that the Watchers have ever watched. This refers to the movie version of the Watchers, and the drama version of the Watchers is really not worth mentioning.
Both versions are very profound, but the profound directions are different, and they seem to reflect the changing role of the United States in the world.
The Watchmen is based on the United States in the 1960s, the US-Soviet Cold War, Countdown to Doomsday, Nixon and so on. Inside is as strong as Dr. Manhattan but transcendent outside, clever as Pharaoh, who regards human life as grass but takes world peace as his responsibility, Rorschach was born at the bottom but he chooses the good and stubborn. Said to be an "idealist" of a different path.
The black robe picket is based on the modern background. There is no "idealism" for both the pros and the villains. The villains only care about business, capital, marketing, algorithms, selfishness, fame and fortune, and power; the decent only cares about personal hatred, at most There is a little basic kindness.
Just like the people of the motherland said: Don't use it to save the world, but use it to save the United States. The United States has degenerated from a self-confident idealism that wants to change the world to only care about itself.
The motherland's metaphor for the United States is very straightforward. The Stars and Stripes are all hung up. A giant baby who is powerful and unconstrained, has a clever mind, but has an imperfect personality (only two hundred years of history) is very terrifying.
The Big Seven can be said to be a metaphor for the G7 countries, and they can only bow their heads to the ears under the prostitution of the United States. In order to seize power, the whole world is fostering terrorist forces, and the general public, who is so foolish, publishes an impassioned speech, and everyone is intoxicated.
Therefore, this is not an "anti-hero" TV series, but it is actually "anti-American".
