Another child murdered.

I will not shed a single tear for when cops get shot and killed.

US cops really have stored up an incredible amount of badwill, haven't they? Now, I can't help but see Nolan's Batman film (whichever the one is with cops in tunnels), Brooklyn 99 and others as straight up copaganda. Just zero sympathy. The balance will shift at some point, it has to.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 29 points 9 months ago

To be fair Brooklyn 99 dunks on cops. Like a lot.

Final. season was really interesting I that regard. Real cop propaganda is The Rookie. It is shameless.

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

The final season was less humorous about it. But even in the earlier seasons, the vast majority of cops outside of the 99 are incompetent, corrupt, or both. Comparatively, Wuntch is one of the least bad in the force.

Blue Bloods is the worst of them. Flat out abusing people in custody followed by a friendly family Sunday dinner.

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Yeah I knew a cop who can't stand that show because of how blunt it's propaganda, pro-police violence, and anti-civil rights the show is.

Most depictions of LE in action movies are copoganda. I mean, shit: the Dirty Harry/ Legal Weapon trope of cops needing to sidestep the rules is so fucked when you think about it

3rd Batman movie, the one that made even less sense than a superhero movie normally makes.

The entire plan depends on a fusion reactor acting like a fission bomb that Bane didn't even know was down there, Blackgate being moved within city limits after the events of the second movie for no clear reason, and a letter that again no one knew existed while the plan was being carried out.

Also if he broke Batman's back why not just kill him? Why give him a chance to escape?

Also if he broke Batman’s back why not just kill him? Why give him a chance to escape?

He explains that he wants batman to watch his city deteriorate to chaos or whatever.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

By putting him in an underground prison where he can't see it happening?

Also why? In the comics Bane removed Batman because he was a threat not because of a personal grievance.

[-] Moneo@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

He has a TV showing him Gotham news or some shit. idc what happens in the comic. I'm not defending the movie just telling you what I remember from watching this movie like 10 years ago. There's a lot of stupid shit in the movie but it's made abundantly clear why he's alive and in prison.
