Her running down that street had me like. . . WHOA!! It was almost like Rick and Morty with the Squirrels. Ads bouncing down the Street didn't hurt either I have not been following the Online reviews so it did catch me off guard and I like that Rocket River
Minor quibble - On Nazi Earth they'd have much spicier names for "a black" than "a black". That descriptor derives from feedback from "what negros would like to be called" durring the civil rights movement. I get its a silly tv show and trying to be accurate would just confuse or enrage a significant fraction of the audience. But it struck me as a very polite label in a land where overt racism is the rule. There are an abundance of hateful labels for black people on the racism spectrum between "the n word" and "a black".
Here is my thing . . .. unless we gonna be spicy with EVERYONE then don't be spicy with ANYONE I'm Talking F-Word K-word W-word G-word LMNOP-Word It has always been a problem for me that Tarrantino can make a whole NAZI film without a single solitary slur against JEWS but Cannot make a single solitary film without the N-Word Rocket River
Perfectly reasonable. I get the bigger-picture perspective. In the moment, I was really into the story and how it was said kind of pulled me out of the idea that they genuinely hated her or were afraid of her or whatever. Even without the fairness angle (they haven't really pulled punches with anybody on this show, I think), I think there's a pretty good argument against saying that stuff just from a practical perspective of how the audience in general would react. It just kind of killed my suspension of disbelief at the moment that they were all really virulent racists.
Cena is a pretty damn good comedic actor. I thought the same with the Rock years ago. I've always loved this skit:
Honestly, it was bad enough what he had to endure in season 1, culminating with how his dad passed away. But honestly, at this point, this episode almost felt cruel towards the character. Man, let Peacemaker catch a break.
