Raised by Wolves is about way more than just faith and parenthood

But the more I think about Raised by Wolves, the more I’m convinced it’s a great big metaphor for something else altogether: namely, the power of social media and its algorithmic encouragement of binary thinking, surely the technological Frankenstein monster of our times.

The idea first popped into my head watching Mother, in her deadly Necromancer form, literally destroying men with her voice, a bloody manifestation of ‘cancel culture’ if you look at it from just the right angle. Not judging, PS, just observing. But when Marcus starts to hear voices no one else can — an analog to the ‘special knowledge’ that so many Internet-conspiracy YouTubers believe they have over everyone else — I started to really look at the show’s bigger picture in the context of our clickbait, online reality.

Mother and Father fit “typical”, current demographics projected to us...

But I think the message that a combo of escalating, polarized faith and uncontrollable technology isn’t exactly unfamiliar to some of our current struggles is valid. So the show’s central question might not actually be, how do we raise our children in a time of war, but more like, how are we currently raising ourselves, and each other — and where might that lead? Whatever opinion you might have about whether that’s a fair thing to bring up without more nuance — well, that’s my point, actually, and I think it’s the show’s as well. Kudos to the writers for having us cheer for both sides — which is a lot harder to do in the real world we live in these days, unfortunately — even though in the world of Raised by Wolves, everyone’s ultimate goal is the same: survival both physical and metaphysical, in who they are and what they believe in. In the real world, can we do better than a collection of pre-programmed robots and warmongering doctrinal purists? Stay tuned. But I’m certainly cheering for humanity, which includes you.

These themes show up in Prometheus also (faith vs nihilism)

PS: the crafts used by the atheist resembles a dildo (with cruciform parachute to halt its advance...). The crafts used by the Mithraic are shaped similar to tic-tacs...
