Opening Sequence and Showrunner Hate

Wow, do the showrunners for this show hate average people. The opening is a sort of a groundhog day sequence of an apparent college student incel (he's a bit thick, which of course makes him a loser).

• He listens to talk radio which spouts off that all immigrants are super-terrorists.
• He likes super heroes, takes care of his mother. Clearly a nut. (Sarcasm intended)
• StormFront (the Nazi) is on the TV every morning spewing anti-immigrant "hate". (Ergo, anyone who is for say limited immigration is a Nazi.)
• Everyday he gets snacks at a convenience store with an asian looking cashier (clearly an American given his accent).
• He surfs the net with memes like the following (Clearly the writers of the show don't know what a meme is. Or what a "snowflake" is for that matter.)
  • "Immigrate Legally or Die"
  • "Target Acquired" (In reference to a congress woman holding hearings)
  • "We need hearings Immediately, we will make the charges later."
  • "Make America Safe Again"

Clearly this dude is a sad little American. One day, lights shine in the cashier's eyes making their color change. He must be a super-terrorist! Next day, he shows up at the store and shoots the cashier in the face because he is a "super-terrorist". He recoils at his own stupidity.

This is the most ridiculous piece of writing I have seen since Game of Thrones.

1. All the super heroes are bullet proof. That would be a well known fact.
2. What do you think the "super-terrorist" will do to you after you shoot him and the bullet bounces off? Would you try to kill Homelander with a gun????

Geez the logic here is impeccably stupid. It also assumes average guy is ridiculously stupid. But that's today's Hollywood. If you are not one of them, then you are just a stupid nazi.

Some other Highlights

• Every father in the show is bad. (Down with the patriarchy!)
• Stormfront and Homelander do patriotic rallies for the superhero bill.
  • Clearly all their supporters are stupid idiots.
  • The writers essentially mock the asian cashier's death.
  • The writers mock "thoughts and prayers". Silly religious people.
  • But they love twitter!
• More silly scientology stuff. I think it supposed to be funny.
• The episode is focused on a congressional hearing to expose Vought. Alas one ridiculous plot twist after another foils their plans.

Well there is only one more episode in this season. Are the boys every really going to accomplish anything? What is the point of this show? What is the goal?
