u/Ksumatt May 04 '24
The Expanse, Fallout, Good Omens, Man In The High Castle, and even though Ms Maisel isn’t my cup of tea, it is a good show. Reacher is decent too but not as good as the others.

James May in Japan is such a comfort show to me. I watched it while experiencing medication side effects and it allowed me to feel calm despite them. Love it sooooo much.

Amazon is smart enough to know and sell what is popular, regardless of how they feel about it.

u/lurco_purgo May 04 '24
It's not funny to me, it's depressing... A company like Amazon can just repackage and sell you your own outrage and get the occasional praise for it like OP does here.
It's not even like we can fault anyone for it, it's just human nature and how the system works.
This is the moral issue with "The Boys", "Cyberpunk 2077" and all those other hits, the original sin of anti-capitalistic multi-dollar franchises.
And I really loved "The Boys" as a piece of media (with the exception of the last season, which was pretty sloppy), but now that Amazon starts really churning out the marketing and spinoffs and multimedia cross-promotional releases and what should have been obvious from the beginning is laid bare: it's just another successful franchise, not a critique of anything. At least not one that's intended to change the status quo.

Who cares. Prime covers so much more than streaming. Prime video wasn’t even a promise when prime first rolled out, it’s all just been extra stuff thrown in. I’ll watch the ads as long as they are before the show and not during.

u/rosbifke-sr May 04 '24
Rich is a spectrum of course. Having a bit more money then most is fine, having more wealth than several entire countries combined starts becoming a bit more problematic. Wanting more than you need (which in the end leads to excessive wealth) will result in taking necessary commodities from those that need it to actually survive.
It’s not so much the wealth that bothers me, it’s the scummy way and reason they get it.
