Speaking of "Game of Thrones", the most popular American drama recently is the "Black Robe Picket" with the theme of super hero .
When it comes to the superhero theme, everyone's first reaction may be Marvel's series of movies.
"Reunion 4" surpassed "Avatar" to reach the top with its global popularity.
"Black Panther" was nominated for 7 Oscars and finally won 3 awards.
Speaking of word of mouth, I believe that DC's "Dark Knight" and "Watchmen", as well as the drama version of Chaoying who have opened their minds in recent years, are the ones that everyone expects.
Similar to "Gotham", "Swamp Thing", "Doom Patrol", "Teen Titans", "Arrow"...etc
But these, compared with this large-scale dark American drama , are a bit dwarfed.
Judging from the results of the premiere, before the launch of the HBO drama version of "Watchmen", "Black Robe Pickets" is definitely the most acclaimed superhero theme at present.
The tone of the story of the play inherits the dark and profound adult style of the original author Garth Ennis , and it does not fall into yellow violence, foul language, blood plasma, and political metaphors. It pointed its finger at the mainstream American social culture, satirizing business, religion and personal heroism. The superheroes of Marvel and DC are even more blackened. The only thing that makes people want to complain, the Super Seven in the play, is simply a low-profile version of the Justice League .
As the boss of the seven-person team, the native is a symbol of justice, strength, sunshine, and spiritual leadership. The ability is almost identical to the superman setting, and it is a bug-level existence. In the eyes of Xingguang, "he is just like Jesus." Even in the eyes of his opponents, "the motherland is a goddamn saint with no weaknesses." But what is not known in private is that he is not only arrogant and hypocritical, but also has a serious Oedipus. Seeing a woman breastfeeding can even make you jealous of a few-month-old baby while swallowing.
In a terrorist hijacking incident, the natives accidentally destroyed the cab while killing the robbers. He showed his ferocity in front of these dying people and let the plane crash.
When the media arrived, the natives pretended to be sad and angry, and explained with tears: "We arrived three minutes after the plane crashed because we were not in the chain of command." The intention was to provoke the anger of the people. , thereby obtaining the right to enter the national military defense system.
Transparent people have enviable stealth abilities and like to peep in women's toilets. Because of the need for ability, most of the time they are completely naked. Whether fighting people or being on TV, he almost never wears clothes. Even after the invisibility is lifted, it can be justifiably exposed in the public eye.
He has another ability, all the superficial skin of his body is indestructible. Even if he is trapped, his attitude is still proud. After all, there is no weapon or method in this world that can hurt him. Until... The protagonists shove a small C4 bomb into his anus and detonate inside him.
The ability of the deep sea is similar to that of the Sea King in DC. If he has to be given a label, it is a very low sense of existence. On the first day that Xingguang joined the Sevens, when he heard that the other party was infatuated with him, Shen Hai immediately took off his pants and asked Xingguang to "serve" him. After being rejected, he even used the company's unwritten "unwritten rules" to force Xingguang into submission.
In fact, he is not the "second-in-command of the team" in his own words. He was excluded, and everyone regarded him as a joke. The kind of superiority he showed in front of the stars was just to cover up his incompetence and ridiculousness. Just like those people in life who have developed limbs but have no brains at all. He can't choose what he wants to participate in, and is more like a "jumping clown" living under the media lens . Later, the scandal was exposed, and he was once scolded by Starlight supporters collectively and became the "abandoned son" of the company.
Starlight lived in a Christian family, and her mother told her that all able-bodied people are gifts from God, and they were born to be heroes and admired. After being harassed by the deep sea, seeing the company's face clearly, and a series of incidents exposed by the media, the pure and bloody heroic dream was gradually shattered. In fact, we have been in the society for many years, why are we not the same?
Xingguang dared to expose all hypocrisy in front of the media, broke the company's packaging for himself, and admitted that he was not the kind of goddess in people's eyes. In order to maintain the brand image, the company used this public relations incident to make a big fuss and hyped up another image for Starlight, similar to the image of "free women in the new era". And the external sign of women in the new era turned out to be... "selling meat" on a large scale? Is it a bit ironic?
The locomotive is the fastest man in the world, of course... the fastest. In order not to lose the game, the locomotive took too many drugs, lost control of the speed, and knocked a little girl who was close with her boyfriend on the street into a shovel of blood. In front of the media, he lied that he was on the way to hunt down criminals and accidentally killed people. But in private, there is no guilt at all.
A human life, in his eyes, is only $45,000.
In fact, he was just rushing to have a private meeting with his mistress, a second-tier actress.
Speaking of this actress, her end was as tragic as Long Ma, and she was killed by her favorite man in the middle of intimacy.
The reason is simply that the locomotive is worried that the exposure of the drug will affect his public image.
Regarding Queen Maeve and Black, there wasn't much going on in the first season. But according to the consistent tonality of American dramas, their stories should be more explosive in the following plots.
"Black Robe Picket" completely subverts the values of superheroes.
Do you think that these superheroes are because of infection mutation, genetic mutation, or really like the belief of Starlight, everything is a miracle of the creator?
No, these all stem from a huge lie and conspiracy, disguised as religious beliefs, and doing dirty and evil deeds.
This show not only shattered the divinity of these "public figures" in front of the media, but also nakedly showed their respective inner darkness, allowing the audience to witness the evil of human nature.
More importantly, it dares to break through the crux of the times and expose the ugly and hypocritical side of human nature.
When power becomes the absolute advantage over justice, the only way to seek justice is to use evil to defeat evil.
Just like the transparent person, in fact, there is no major evil in itself, but in the end, it was bombed to only a few pieces of internal organs, and people couldn't help but applaud.
There is no big or small difference in the evil in this world. Evil is evil. As long as you reveal the dark side of your heart and hurt others, you deserve to die.
The good thing about this drama is that it does not completely deny human nature. Good and evil, light and darkness are a constant game. Everyone is both good and evil. Maybe at an inadvertent moment, your choice of value will be determines what kind of person you are.
Perhaps this is the "large scale" that the audience really wants to see.
