TV is getting too bad.

A bit of a different topic for this post. 

I have realised that to talk on this point, I have to be so careful about spoilers that I might as well just not mention the shows specifically. Just talk about what is generally true of modern shows. And generally true of older shows. 

Here is a video that is backed up by all the comments and many other videos on youtube about the same subject:

There is actually a lot that needs to go into this. A lot of thoughts. But I will not be too long on all of it. 

I am finding an incredibly reliable pattern with a lot of these shows. They hundred percent know what people want to watch. So they make a good start of a show and get people hooked. And then add in the liberal agenda at the end of the show. When they have nothing to lose. They screw over all the characters people like. They humiliate characters in a way that doesn't make sense (such as Joker 2). In 'The Boys', they gave redemption arcs to the black characters. Only the black characters. Which didn't make a lot of sense from the set up. 

Redemption arcs or "villain arcs". One where a previous good character becomes a villain. Are very often done wrong from my understanding. In a sci fi show I once watched, a character who had unbelievable love for his daughter goes on to become space Hitler. It just didn't fit that he would be able to love like that then decided to try and kill the entire world for a personal grudge - to kill other young women like his daughter. The Redemption arc in 'The Boys' didn't make sense either. In the other direction. Characters who were set up with no moral fibre. No seeds of goodness at all. Later turned out to be really good people because of... 'blackness' I suppose. The melanated skin inevitably produces moral fibre apparently. It produces 4th dimension vitamin D and grows the conscience.

One show that has not done this, I suppose, was Picard. One of the older shows that I liked was Grimm. It became a bit silly but was a good show. But a LOT of shows have, either this problem. Or another problem. 

I went back to older shows and I have also found these not compelling. I will perhaps give other shows another go. Or even the ones I didn't like. But there is a definitive lack of understanding of human psychology in some of those older shows. The characters act kind of sociopathic for no reason at times. I have felt an even bigger repulsion to this at times. It is quite maddening. Preach to me about the beauty of black skin liberals. I cannot take anymore of these closet sociopath characters in older shows. 

I wonder, a deeper question then. What is the function of all this TV? Am I wasting my life? Well, that's debateable. I do have a lot of free time and I do do other things in the day but watch TV. Including reading the Law of One and other books. I would have got a playstation one by now if I had more disposable income. I binge watched seasons 4 and 5 of The Boys in a couple of days when I was quite ill. Not able to do anything else. It was in a period of non prayer and hopefully, now I am praying again, that won't happen frequently. 

I think, pretty much everyone is lounging around not doing much at the moment. With the economy so completely dysfunctional. No one has any money for leisure or to pursue meaning. No one is having kids or dating, apparently. 

But even so, I can't help thinking that there must be some other option to watching all this TV.  Some other thing I could be doing. I get quite tired reading. I don't like to watch too much youtube because it is intellectually taxing and we all need some chill time. I was watching powerful concepts a few hours ago and stopped after ten minutes because I was not following it. The concepts were too profound.

All are interesting things to consider.
