Does God love the world?
If Captain America could fly, would he fly in the sky?
How many steps do you need to kill a superhero with a diamond skin?
No need to say it. If the thoughts in your heart are different from those of most people, you have the qualification to watch "Black Robe Pickets".
This 8-episode super-British American drama just released by Amazon, adapted from the comic The Boys, tells the story of a group of ordinary people seeking revenge, but the object of their revenge is a superhero idol group, The Seven. This seven-member group has many identities. First of all, they are based on DC's Justice League: Motherland, corresponding to Superman; Queen Maeve, imitating Wonder Woman; Deep Sea, the loser version of Aquaman; Locomotive, The Flash; Tek Knight, which corresponds to Batman. Among them, the motherland is responsible for the C position, and his identity will naturally be a little more special - from the name (homelander), it can be seen that he is actually a superhuman body with the spirit of Captain America, and he represents the United States wholeheartedly and serves the United States ( Superman is an illegal immigrant after all), blond hair, standard smile, good deeds, good words, perfect to bring the light of Jesus.
Now we can answer the second question posed above. The answer is given in the first episode of the show: After waving to the fan boy in the cabin with a standard smile, the natives accurately split the plane in half with rays, showing not a single tooth. The reason was simply because the boy's father had negotiated a business that he was not so satisfied with.
Seeing this, I can probably understand why these ordinary people are fighting to the death with this group of "superheroes". First of all, they are not heroes, they are just a group of people with super powers, so they also have the weaknesses of ordinary people. For example, peeping at women's toilets, bullying colleagues, and even threatening and deceiving female colleagues who are hired on the first day; but because of the existence of superpowers, the small evils of ordinary people often have catastrophic consequences here. The protagonist Huey, a young man with no fighting spirit, no strength to fight, or even his own place to live, was standing on the curb and kissing with his girlfriend on a bland afternoon. Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and his girlfriend Only the two hands he held in his hand were left - she was hit by a speeding locomotive and instantly turned into a pool of flesh. The locomotive said on the TV that he was chasing the bank robbers at the time. It was an unintentional mistake, and he did not express the slightest apology for the loss of a life. After a little investigation, Huey found that there were no bank robbers at all. The locomotive was on drugs that day. Hi. But after a series of fancy operations by big companies, this matter is gone.
- Oh, did we forget to say earlier that this superhero idol group was packaged and launched by a super company named Walter? Audition, audition, role positioning after selection, market packaging, and then to the public. A complete set of strict and professional assembly line operations, mature and orderly, until one day, a link went wrong. This link is their commodity, the superhumans—they're still human after all, and as long as humanity exists, you can't claim to know the answer.
This is actually the tone of the entire show - questioning everything, and being ready to overthrow everything. Are all superhumans the savior of the world? Can a perpetrator be a victim at the same time? Do you really know the person next to you? Is every bill passed with a fair discussion? Does the person who encouraged you to take revenge must have a righteous purpose? Is seeing believing?
And, does God really want us to eat fish?
Xingguang, who is full of longing to join the group of seven, is also a very devout Christian. She gave a wonderful speech in the play, which is aimed at believers, but in fact, it is more like the incarnation of the screenwriter, calling out that every ordinary person There are doubts that I do not necessarily dare to say. She said: "I believe in God, I love God, but frankly, I don't know why everyone here is so fucking sure. What's the minimum ticket? $170? So that these people can tell you how to get to heaven? How would they know? How would anyone know? When the bible was written, the human lifespan was only 30... There is only one truth, and that is anyone who claims to know the answer is lying. I don't know that I am What to do. I'm as scared and lost as you are."
(A small tip: In the comic of the same name, the image of the protagonist Huey was drawn according to Simon Pegg, but it was delayed until it was made into a film and television drama. Simon can only come to guest-star Huey's father.)
