Speaking of her voice.. did anyone else expect her to sound more raspy?

Thats how I imagined her voice when reading the comics

Her voice in the animated version would have made me side with the Viltrum empire.

Her arguments would have made me side with the Viltrum empire. Repair our climate? End world hunger? Yes please. Make yourselves right at home and feel free to use any of our sociopathic billionaires and their corrupt political muppets as punching bags or chew toys whenever you feel a little murdery. That's just a welcome bonus. If you could maybe stream it live on TV, that'd be awesome.

“Give me liberty or give me death” - Thomas Paine

u/Sockenolm Mar 29 '24

I sometimes imagine it's the Third World saying that. Liberty and economic equality instead of being kept destitute on purpose, with high birth rates imposed by our Western anti-birth control religions, so the developed world can have cheap coffee picked and blood diamonds mined by kids.

Or maybe it's the working class in un-developing countries like the US. Vastly better off than Third World denizens and eager to contribute to climate change catastrophes that devastate the Third World far more than the First, but still far from free. Forced to slave away in order to further enrich the billionaire class, often without basic healthcare access and settled with crippling medical debt, almost powerless to affect meaningful political change. It would be nice indeed if we could give all these people liberty.

How does joining the fascist Viltrum empire solve the “earth is governed being a collapsing narcissistic death cult” issue we’ve got, though? Rather than kick the can down the road a few centuries of suffering later?

People are making selfish “I reserve the right to ruin my own life” arguments and frankly foolish comparisons to the Bolshevik revolution which I think is what’s setting you off here, I think a more apt analogy is Reagan getting boomers to sell off their rights for security, and then we lost both.
