My favorite is Bog king from Strange Magic - Has a song talking about how evil he is. But all he does is prevent the spread of dangerous mind control magic, and quarantine people under the effects of said magic. Yes he greatly annoys people doing so, but honestly? If I get hit by a love potion, please quarantine me.

    nah, it’s a legitimate complaint, and exactly the reason I stopped watching after a couple episodes. They portray cops like they’re “angel helpers” and it just reeks of bootlicking bullshit. The main character is Lucifer Morningstar, or the guy who’s main schtick is questioning authority, and yet he’s 5-0’s best friend. It completely destroys the idea behind the show, when the obvious corrupt organization is never taken to task. Atlanta shows cops as they are, this show is just copaganda.

      It’s a TV show, produced to sell advertising in the USA.

      You might as well complain about the lack of vegan options at McDonald’s.

        Restaurant having no vegan option is indeed bad and deserves complaints. I don’t know what’s your problem with criticizing shit, you seem to have no problems with telling me how to do media analysis, so you understand the concept

          You remind me of the people who got upset when the Green M+M changed her shoes.

              You’re funny.

              What exactly do you think I misunderstand?

              We all agree it’s a fantasy TV show, being shown on commercial networks in order to sell advertising.

              My take is that as adults people should understand that the show is a fantasy and is meant for light entertainment purposes.

              But you were so shocked and offended by the depiction of the police that you caught a case of the vapors.

              I understand your criticism of the portrayal of the police. I simply find it ridiculous.

          You have a right to critique any aspect of any work.

          To me, this is as silly as the people who were offended when the Green M+M changed her shoes.
