I did not get to watch the first episode but it did not influence the fun I had at all. The story was nice of course, but what struck me the most was how I see today resonates with it. The episode started with Humulk (I definitely got the name wrong, the female scientist) finding out stuff is wrong and suggests to evacuate all civilians. And what did the government do? IGNORE HER! It is so unfortunate the saying is true, “Every disaster movie begins with the government ignoring a scientist.”
Sounds familiar? Does that remind you of something else? Oh hold on, wait a second, isn’t that what exactly was going on today? I do not and will not ever understand why lives are being sacrificed for the fight of politics. I mean, masks shouldn’t be a tool of politics, and wearing masks (or not) should not be a symbol of your political alignment. Look at the person with most power in this country (yes, I refuse to call him the p-word), what an example has he set? This is not about politics nor ideologies, I know republican friends as well, but masks really should’ve been only a tool to save life, not a tool to kidnap politics.
I totally agree with your views on how ones safety shouldn’t be at risk due to the someone else’s political ideologies. It’s unfortunate that so many tragedies that could’ve easily been avoided if people only listened to women. We can only hope that people who naturally degrade females for their accomplishments simply because of their gender can learn a thing or two from their mistakes.
