The Official HUNTERS Thread

[Originalman]

The thing I find weird is the dissonance I see, where people praise a show like this and look at the people hunting the Nazis and cheer... not understanding that there couldn't be a black show like this, because while Nazis are looked back as inarguably evil... people don't look back at the hundreds of years of this very treatment of black people as nearly as bad. So while they cheer when a Nazi gets killed as 'justice', they don't want to see a black person even get recompense by way of money, and damn sure don't care to see it gotten by way of violence unless it's against some stylized, larger-than-life plantation owner a la Django.
Meanwhile, half the people watching this show have familial wealth due to this very type of atrocity over a longer period, and a nikka can't even get a meaningful 'sorry' from the government. But America was willing to assist in the disenfranchisement of brown people in Palestine to 'make things right' after WW2?

I like the show, but man I can't rock with some of the reactions I've been seeing to it because it's like people are willfully blind to America being complicit in the same type of shyt they're furious about here.

But, to restate... I like the show so far.

All this and why i don't care for or follow movies or shows on this subject.

Hollyweird would never do a show where blacks hunted and killed ex KKK members.

I even hated the clip where pachino says this is about justice for 9 million people. If that is the case wouldn't black and gypsies be getting movies about hunting germans?

How about some black africans from Namibia huntering germans after the 1904 to 1908 genocide.

How about Africans from the congo hunting belgians after the genocide they did to africans in that region from the late 1800s to 1908.

See that is why I don't fukk with hollywood and their stupid shows and movies.

It's simple.
There's no dispute that Nazis were wrong. People say it, people believe it, people apply it in life.
But if you ask people about slavery, they'll say it's wrong, and maybe they'll even believe that a little, but they won't live through that knowledge enough to back seeing what actual comeuppance for that situation looks like.
It's been hundreds of years and certain people still ain't ready for that conversation, damn sure not enough to let media be media and have it not be called some kind of racial-stirring niche show. Had people ready to throw Watchmen into the bushes episode 1 because of them showing an actual piece of American history that most people just didn't know about.

Most white Americans aren't willing to observe black plight because they can't help bristle at the reality that they directly benefited from it - it doesn't let them spout their 'we should just move forward as one' narrative if you reflect the reality of the fallout to them and show how hollow all their posturing about being post-racial actually is.

At the end of the day a white person has to green light the shyt. No white person in this time of day will green light a movie of black folks killing white people for their past transgressions...so folks need to cut the BS. We ain't talking about a film about white folks doing wrong to black folks and black folks rise above this taking the high road. We talking about a film where black folks get revenge and physically harm the white folks who have done wrong....that will never ever ever ever be green lighted.

Do people realize that even a movie like spook who sat by the door was even banned by the freaking government. Do people forget that even the 3rd planet of the apes ending was changed because they were concerned black would get revenge during the civil rights unrest?

This shyt is too scary for america (and the rest of the western world) and always has been and why you will never see it on the screen.

I’m still on the first ep and this shyt piff.

 

[Lootpack]

The plot is hot fukking garbage

This might as well be a damn cartoon

but the action is cool

Big step down from The Man In The High Castle

The tone feels like it's all over the place.

 

[MartyMcFly]

The tonal mishmash of this doesn't work. I like the show but I don't think it's that great at all. It's solid, nothing great, nothing terrible just solid. Trying to mix Tarantino/Grindhouse/B movie aesthetics with serious drama and serious fukking plight is really hard to do and the show doesn't do it that well. A lot of characters and storylines feel like they're in different shows. Since I figure there will be a second season, they gotta lock down the tone; either you're a B-movie Grindhouse show or you're a serious drama about Nazis and jewish trauma.

The acting is good, the characters are interesting, and obviously the setup is fukking dope. But the tonal whiplash has got to go

The show doesn't let that shyt off the hook, which I appreciate. And one review I read on AV Club specifically points out the show clearly illustrates White Christian Americans have a lot to reckon with but don't want to. And this show won't force them to reckon with it if they don't want to reckon with it, but it's obviously there. Especially in episode 5 with the 4th of July shyt

 

[MartyMcFly]

What I do appreciate about this show is how it inadvertently has a conversation with Watchmen. They're essentially about the same things (trauma, race, evil, hatred, covert racism) but from two different points of view. Even the scores get similar at times

just finished it, they made a lot of unnecessary plot turns in the end(especially the boys in brazil shyt) but it was a pretty good series

That's what I said about the Obama years where people was like he not doing anything for us

But he did he had to be super underground with alot of stuff if you dig you can find what he did


If he tired to do it outwardly he would not have made a year in the White House


Remember that movie with Sam Jackson and the guy that played falcon

About the first black bankers?

It totally disappeared

They cant show black people having hope


But anyway


This show is pretty good

I'm not really caring about the political part just the way these guys getting got

 

[MikelArteta]
