FMK: "The Boys", "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou", and Conservative Subtext

*Blog post started on October 1, 2020.

I have caught up the number of MainEventOfTheDead.com blog posts with that of NinetyForChill.com. This should mean that coming up with content should be easier, but the crew at the bank is either caught up on or surpassed me in terms of being up on "The Boys", a show I was pitching to them. Is it sad that I am trying to keep up with the Joneses?

Needless to say, three hours of my night are occupied. The youngest of the bankers is willing to watch the new episodes the moment they are dropped. I do not know if I get this binge culture. It is not like it is "The Mandalorian". Come to think of it, that new season is suppose to drop on October 2. Disney+ does not drop the show at midnight, do they?

The main reason to binge tonight and the wee morning hours is the other male teller (The girls do not seem to get involved with the series unless it is to observe how Stormfront sounds like Mittens from Disney's "Bolt".) primarily watches it via his phone. It might just not be a series for the feminine or he is more invested in PlayStation games. If I am not caught up with it before I come into work tomorrow, there is a good chance I will be caught up second hand. Looking over another persons shoulder to see their phone is bad enough. I do not want to fee obligated to bullocks up social distancing.

As for my opinion of the series, it is obviously positive. But I think I expressed its importance in a tweet from @CatBusRuss:

Let me say: "The Boys" might be the most important satire/commentary of the bullshit conservative Twitter is encouraging to become reality. Hate the Jeff Bezos capitalistic hypocrisy, but as long as the wise get the series's message, it's a win.

The sad thing about associating conservative sociopaths who should be on Parler instead of trying to piss off The Squad is that they probably would misread the message. Homelander is the Proud Boy everyone of those cunts want to be. I am usually a little more careful about dropping a C-Bomb, but we are talking about "The Boys". If I did not use it to describe these wankers like:

• @tasmaniacal 
• @SPolymathe 
• @shpecat612 
• @deanna4congress 
• @schoolpaper1 
• @lilbitfunny 
• @venusabrussell 
• @lindymac22 
• @k7777164 
• @brandonKwayne 
• @4everbuffy 
• @RedConstructora 
• @MisouTD 
• @DianePiette1 
• @coffino_chris

who would probably get off on a deep fake of Donald Trump as Madelyn Stillwell in season two imitating breastfeeding for Homelander, I would being doing William Butcher a disservice. They are the type of assholes who do think "They Live" is about protecting our borders just because the burnt-fondue aliens could only be liberals manipulated by George Soros.

To prove their dimwitted nature. I googled "movies conservatives love." "The Dark Knight Trilogy" and "The Incredibles" showed up, so they are definitely missing the mark. Mother Jones's "One Right-Winger’s Terrible List of “Top 10 Conservative Movies” supports my argument that the right does not get subtext. When I think back to my initial Google search, they probably think "Juno" is a feminist icon or a super heroine for going through with the pregnancy.

Asawin Suebsaeng's article was from 2012, but if "Juno" showed up eight years later, conservatives must not have kept up with Ellen Page's agenda. Perhaps "The Incredibles 2" is not on the list because it is about the husband becoming a homemaker.

This leaves me wondering why anyone can develop an attitude to give up on art because you disagree with the creator. My mom will not watch Bette Midler movies or Quentin Tarantino films because they oppose the idiocy and intolerance of the right. She is quick to follow Bill O'Reilly's commands, and they call the liberals the sheep (They fucking worship a shepherd.).

All it takes is some clever thinking, and their works can be bastardized by Tucker Carlson. The only one that does not immediately work is "Inglourious Basterds", but if you think of Col. Hans Landa being a ruthless capitalist who took credit for ending the second World War while being an antisemite, is that much different than Donald Trump taking the credit he undeservingly has?

In the end, placing one of those cocksucker's (I am still in a Butcher mood.) Twitter handles [The original title was "The Boys, The Bitches (like @Deleno12), and The Bill Murray".] might be a mistake. I may be exposing them to new strategy to claim all media as their own. Then again, if they win in November, I cannot wait until the compassion-less hicks who want to take us back to 1860 work out a way to justify "Cuties" as a show about the child bride ideal.
