people who wear masks

I’m watch­ing the Watch­men se­ries and can’t stop think­ing about how Steve Black­man was just like

“fuck this is so good
I have to ap­ply what I’ve learned here
to Um­brel­la Acad­e­my”

and in the process man­aged to demon­strate com­plete­ly miss­ing the point of the Watch­men series.

“Wow, a sto­ry cen­tered around
black­ness and abus­es of pow­er and privilege,
I will homage these con­cepts by having
a sub­plot about counter sit ins wherein
I once again push the idea that how
op­pressed peo­ple re­act to their oppression
is more im­por­tant than the op­pres­sion itself,
also a sub­plot I will drop completely
when I want to get back to the fart jokes.”
