Bezos also seems pretty villain-y.
Bezos wins in the looks department, but all billionaires are various degrees of Lex Luthor. My pick is Elon Musk because he’s more overtly evil and he kind of has the mad scientist backstory.
True story. After the 2016 election, there was a panel discussion. They had all the creators of the top US political TV dramas; The West Wing: Scandal: Veep: House of Cards and others. Every writer and producer said the same thing. If they’d had a character who said that they ‘liked soldiers who didn’t get captured’ the advertisers and network bosses would have demanded that the character be hated by all Americans.
South Park And SNL both commented that our 2016 situation was too ridiculous to parody
Back in the 1960s, it was a common joke that ronald reagan would never be President because no one would vote for a guy who co-starred with a monkey.
Today’s GOP would ignore reagan and run the monkey
So…that story basically confirms all programming (I mean not cooking shows) is propaganda, doesn’t it?
who is the former KGB agent?
I don’t know if you are joking and I am whooshing it but: Putin. He was former… i believe even chief of the KGB. Was stationed in East Germany for a while and made quite the career. And now he instigated himself as a Russian Erdogan who can rule for as long as he wishes.
Russians always were more of the “lets kill the ruling class in a bloody battle of the working class and absolute brutality for the sins their families have committed against us” kind. (Source: The murder of the Romanov family )
Remember Angela Merkel? She was a Stasi member is East Germany at the same time but everyone seems to pretend they weren’t former colleagues.
My gen x friends complained about the villains in Captain Planet, but the we got Trump.
Also, Tomorrow Never Dies was loosely based on Rupert Murdoch.
My dad complained that Captain Planet was “libtard environmentalist propaganda” 30 years ago. Some things never change. Now it’s just Trump instead of Limbaugh.
These aren’t even people who publicity identify as conservative. Publicly…
They basically just stood still long enough and became conservatives that watch Daily Show.
Let me FTFY:
Penchant for poisoning, and having comrades mysteriously fall from very high places
Dudes, why miss an opportunity to use the incredible word defenestration? Sorry but I had to downvote both of you!
