White men are the bad guys. Women and POCs are heroes. Ah yes but special effects

I'm usually a complete bastard about harping on this, but how did you get that from that trailer

Yeah, sir, not saying that shite isn't prevalent these days, but if that's your take from THAT trailer you're just as bad as the flip side.

Show looks pretty cool, though

White men have also been very good guys. I think the issue for the person you are responding to is the belief that television and film are including fewer and fewer white male protagonists these days.

every bad thing white men have done, other white men have fought wars to stop, or passed legislation to right the wrong of.

That’s a very Eurocentric view of the world. You should broaden your worldview in order to appreciate the atrocities committed by all peoples.




Humans of all colors are monsters. It’s how we came to dominate this planet.

After the 3rd episode, I'm not totally convinced who the bad guys are. They all have some issues. But I'm enjoying this show.

I’m watching but mainly because I’ve got nothing else on the docket. It’s alright, it’s not amazing or anything. There was a fight scene in the 3rd episode that was completely unique and badass involving walking on water. If you’ve seen it you know. That was the coolest sequence of the entire show.

It’s using the common trope these days of, if they’re different from us let’s persecute them, so that’s kind of stale at this point to me.
