Avoiding the sublime and subverting the greatness: On "Black Robe Picket"

Subscribed to Amazon Prime for a while, watched a lot of comedy and exciting detective series, but the biggest reward was watching three seasons of "The Boys" to reverse his stereotype of superhero movies, while at the same time Re-examining some conventional concepts, I really can't think that the content of a TV series can refer to so many things, and the plot is constantly flipped, writing unexpected depths, and it suddenly compares the two series of DC and Marvel series. .

Although there are a lot of superheroes that are full of innuendo in the show, the interesting thing about the story is that superheroes actually exist and actually form an alliance to gather the forces of justice to defend the earth. These guys with stunts love face and no one else can restrain them. The so-called absolute power makes people absolutely corrupt, and superheroes are no exception. For decades, these freaks who seem to be begging for the people's life and wearing strange clothes have often lost control and caused casualties. Among them, the leaders have more serious character flaws and waste lives. The so-called "black robe pickets" are actually a group of bitter lords who have a bloody feud with superheroes. Because the law cannot get justice for them, and the mass media is fully controlled by superheroes, this group of ordinary people formed a revenge team, dedicated to fighting with the superheroes. This group of strong men confronted, of course, more conspiracies were revealed in the process, and the plot was completely unfolding in the craziest direction.

The series is adapted from the comic book of the same name. One of the main creators is the famous comedian Seth Rogan, who has performed in "The Green Hornet". In addition to the great disparity in the main axis of the story, it is even better that the show borrows fictional superheroes. Reflecting the reality, those people who flaunt justice and greatness all day long may only be for the sake of a sense of existence. In private, they are either selfish or corrupt and ugly. They reflect the rampant violence and sexism of such film and television works in an oversized way, so that everyone realizes that these positive images are not necessarily as good as others describe. Of course, criticism of all kinds of absurd phenomena in real politics can be seen everywhere.

I think the general theme of "Black Robe Pickets" is "It is difficult to draw the line between good and evil". In this story, the big heroes may be scumbags, and the wanted terrorists may be trying to maintain justice. That kind of self-examination that avoids the high and subverts the great is really the most intimate reminder in this turbulent time. This is a very wonderful American drama, but not everyone will be satisfied, because it wants to highlight the absurdity of the "superhero" thing, so the plot has a lot of bloody violence, explicit pornography, foul language, and vulgar jokes, this move Undoubtedly, it has greatly increased the interest of the series, but it may be unacceptable to some audiences. Fortunately, I have always watched film and television works without any taboos. It is precisely because the content of this drama is unpredictable and extreme that it can stimulate thinking and enrich imagination. After watching these three seasons of episodes, I was put off by Marvel's "Amazing Girls". I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I'm definitely looking forward to the fourth season of "Black Robe Pickets"!
