    'Black Robe' Season 3, Is Becoming What It's Against

    Superheroes have always been shortcuts to real-world problems, and have been fairytale-like since their birth. Time has turned this FMCG into one of the pop culture backdrops, and the intense hormonal rush has made it a collective childhood memory.
    Now that Marvel and DC are old, the super heroes have become the villains on the showcase, contributing to the box office that is painless. But they weren't quite old enough to be outdated, so 2019's "The Boys" made waves when it premiered. With the familiarity of the superhero universe, the new streaming media giant Amazon bought the original copyright of cartoonist Garth Ennis (Garth Ennis), and dropped a completely anti-hero bomb.

    Ennis resents the hilarious, pretentious political illusions that super-English culture imposes on reality (especially war). The hidden genes of white superiority, patriarchal supremacy, deceit and bullying, and hypocrisy in the superhero-themed film and television drama have been transformed into a completely blackened superhero group in "Black Robe Picket".
    When it first came out, it was still fresh.
    The "Super Seven", which is the benchmark for the League of Legends, is a star under the Walter Company. They have dual functions: they are employed by different cities, and they play the traditional function of super hero punishing evil and promoting good; they are active in derivatives, social media and shows based on their own deeds, becoming big stars in the entertainment industry, and promoting "Super Seven".

    Most of the superheroes in "Black Robe Pickets" are hypocrites, infected with many glorified vices. Under the skin of the American Dream, is the business field of Walter and Chaoying who are familiar with marketing methods. Each of these test-tube + drug babies, who have been portrayed as American heroes, is covered with labels of mainstream values and political correctness, exuding a charm that is familiar to the taste of sebum.
    The motherlander of Superman (Anthony Starr) is the leader of the group of seven, narcissistic, Oedipus, cruel, disgusting, good at manipulating people's hearts, and undoubtedly has a sociopathic personality. Queen Maeve (Dominic McElligott), the alcoholic version of Wonder Woman, is a bisexual who is packaged as an LGBTQ spokesperson, spewing sharp words from her perfect teeth. The locomotive (Jesse Usher) is black-skinned and white-hearted, afraid of bullying, and uses stimulants to maintain the title of "the fastest man". The low-profile version of Aquaman "Deep Sea" (Chace Crawford) is a chicken soup man with low self-esteem, good at speculation, and wrote the experience of "escaping a cult" into a bestseller.
    Every line of these Chaoying and their logic of action can be found in thousands of film and television works. They are like the crystallization of artificial intelligence rather than human beings. Although they are powerful, they are not gods, and they do not have the slightest divinity. Because God's weakness still comes from human nature, their weakness comes from the comical and absurd in political correctness, and despite their natural power, they are not invincible.

    In "Black Robe Picket", the rise and fall of Chaoying has nothing to do with solemnity, tragedy or fate. They're hilarious clowns, sharing the R-movie spree.
    Since they are the humanoid crystallization of ideology, they leave a lot of room for anti-heroes. The League of Heroes, headed by the tough guy William Butcher (Karl Urban) and the soft otaku Huey Campbell (Jack Quaid), is what the title "The Boys" refers to. In the first two seasons, the confrontation between William Butcher and the natives was the main thread. In the third season, they experienced their respective losses, and they also gave birth to the meaning of confidant in addition to the relationship of the old enemy. It is another method that screenwriters love to use - to make an old enemy the only confidant in the world, and to make two strong men fall in love with each other and kill each other. From here, it can be found that the "Black Robe Picket", which uses clichés against clichés, still can't resist the temptation and falls into the sweet trap of clichés.
    As a mortal with no background, the League of Heroes can fight against Superman only by the will of revenge? They can do this and persist until the third season of "Black Robe Pickets" in the bloody headshots and limbs, because there is a higher power. Of course not God, but the new God of modern society - super capital "Walter".
    The Water Company, which holds more than 200 real superheroes, is not only the parent of superheroes, but also the creator of nemesis power. Boss Stan is too aware of human nature. He knew that sooner or later, the public would get bored if there were only Super League in his hands. Chaoying needs fans and even more opponents, whether they are terrorists or amateur opposition groups. He also understands how when a person is much stronger than others, his ego can swell out of control if not controlled. As the owner of a pan-entertainment company, how to make good use of star employees and maintain a balance of power is a basic skill.
    The plot of the first two seasons basically revolves around control-anti-control. When the two factions compete, the mantis is often the last to catch the cicada or the oriole. Its stimulus is that routines always meet counter-routines, and conspiracy theories are gradually escalating to the top of the government. However, this ever-spreading plot advancement method was already exhausted when the third season was filmed.
    One reason is that the development of the plot has a fixed pattern, which makes it easier to guess. "Black Robe Picket" third season stills

    At the beginning of the season, William Butcher leads the Anti-Seven to track down the cause of death of "Soldier Boy" (Jensen Ackles), a member of the Blood Debt and Blood Repayment Alliance, hoping to find the substance that killed him and kill the old enemy of the motherland. The plot has developed here, and it has actually reached a deadlock.
    Huey's good colleague and congressman's boss, Victoria Newman (Claudia Dommett), turns out not to be an ordinary person, but the adopted daughter of the super headshot king and Stan. When the incident came to light, Huey's intense shock and disappointment seemed overdone. He should have expected Stan to make this arrangement.
    After losing his lover Stormfront (Charlize Theron), the motherland finally broke out and usurped Stan's position to become Walter's actual controller. When Stan was in the ascendance of Starlight, how could he not have imagined that the people of the motherland whose self-esteem had been frustrated were about to get out of control? This step is likely to be his move.
    Although "Black Robe Picket" has a backlash, it does not dare to let the Nazis live a hundred years, completely subverting the three views. Although Stormfront has been around for a long time, audiences know the character must die, and she really is. With her death, she once again practiced the far-right propaganda strategy of using emotions to fuel anger.
    "Black Robe Picket" is a large-scale satirical cartoon. Ironically, the first two seasons have been wheeled over. And satirical cartoons have their bottlenecks - usually lack of imagination, can only satirize the status quo, it is difficult to create a new world.
    In the first two seasons, it blasted the American Dream, revealing that it's all business. The masses are a bunch of worms, naive and easy to deceive. Oligopoly, not Godzilla, is the monster. Its ambitions are insatiable, constantly evolving and mutating, like a greedy snake, unable to stop eating without self-destruction. The government loves to be friends with the rich, likes to create imaginary enemies, bombards fake enemies, allows real Nazis to grow in the belly, and regards the lives of civilians as a matter of course. Political correctness is rainbow farts, and those who can put them can put gold on their faces. But don't put too much faith in its power.
    This season continued to sing anti-political correctness theme songs, such as Locomotive coming up with a group propaganda strategy that exploited his African-American identity, and was despised. The set information density in Waterland is extremely high, and the camera is full of hidden satirical displays of political correctness.
    But sometimes it also returns to the correct spectrum. Starlight (Eileen Moriarty), the most obvious growth in the series, has transformed from a cowering country girl to a co-captain who is shoulder-to-shoulder with the people of her homeland. As a young woman newly empowered, she displayed textbook feminine power at her native's birthday rehearsal, refusing to be objectified by a sexy gaze. Are you refreshing? Very refreshing. Interesting? It can only be said that it is a commonplace. "Black Robe Picket" third season stills

    The suspected depletion of creativity makes the screenwriter begin to repeat himself. In a theme park confrontation with the Crimson Lady (Lauri Holden), Kimiko (Fukuhara Karen) repeats Huey's mistakes, seeing the cartoon man smashed in front of her and blood spattered on the pair. on younger siblings. "Their childhood is over." Huey in the first season also lost his innocence when he witnessed his girlfriend being instantly smashed by a locomotive (before that, his room was covered with posters of the Super Seven, and he was a fanboy). On the road to the anti-hero.
    Only the sudden death is still the most anti-routine and really climax part of "Black Robe Picket". The so-called realism of social phenomena in the play is sometimes distorted and lost in the slogan-style noise. Only the fancy way of dying that has become its symbol is the closest to reality and can truly move people's minds.
    Death is always carefully chosen in film and television dramas. Who can die and who cannot die is the result of careful consideration. In this show, the randomness and fairness of death is respected. I'm talking about the death of civilians.
    Any civilian can die, women and children, young and old, before they can react. "The Black Robe Picket" presents death in the style of a first-class novelist. Babel, who is good at writing about death, was discussing educational theories in the carriage one second before, and then the newlyweds, who were sleeping soundly with their fingers clasped together, were shot in the head by an anti-Semitic gun the next second, and the husband's genitals were cut off and stuffed. into his wife's mouth. In his novels, the description of death is often only a very small space, but these scenes set the tone of the whole novel. Because it reminds you, come back to reality.
    In this season, the death of the girl who jumped off the building rang a small bell that returned to reality. The girl who wanted to jump off the building changed her mind and did not want to jump in the face of the motherland who was about to save her. But she had to dance, because today is the "birthday" of the motherland, cameras and onlookers are waiting, the hero must save a person today. At this time, the news of the death of Storm Front was uploaded on the big screen. The faces of the natives were more gloomy and pale than usual.
    It's a pity that apart from death, the "Black Robe Picket", which is against political correctness and stereotypes, is following a certain natural law, gradually slipping into what it is against, just like most rebellious sons will grow up to be socially domesticated fathers.
    The fun of this drama is becoming an arms race-like strategy and an escalation of confrontation, but the core is becoming more and more conservative.
    Now, the profit-seeking super-capital and the two forces it cultivated are in a three-legged situation, checking and balancing each other, and no one can destroy the other. Compound 5 gives ordinary people the opportunity to transform into superhumans in 24 hours, and Butcher and Huey will also have a taste of the small things at a glance. From now on, it is no longer mortals fighting against superman, but superman and superman fighting each other.
    And so on, maybe Butcher and Huey, who have superpowers, and Starlight with power will also turn black. It's just that amateurs become heroes, and heroes breed dark psychology, which was originally a routine.
    Now that the head has exploded, the chrysanthemum has also exploded, the childhood has been lost, and what can be exciting. Soldier Boy (Captain America) vs. Motherland (Superman), Stan Muskization, Colonization to the Moon with Superman Capital?
