The same guys did the same thing with Superman a few years later with that animated series: powering him way down.
Yes, and one can get even more specific and point to MASK OF THE PHANTASM as the high-point of this particular experiment. BTAS was a happy confluence of talent just creating a great, great show.
Yeah, when I first saw it--before I noticed the timestamp--that's what I thought too.
Wish I'd seen this when it was current. Fisher is a fraud and a clown, and it's hilarious that DOOM PATROL, which had a fraction of the budget Snyder was allowed to burn, had a Cyborg that put his to shame. Fisher probably just made up the part about Johns gloating over this--that's how he rolls--but if, by some chance, it is true, it's earned.
Social media is still filled with it constantly, though I suspect part of it--beyond the really fanatical Clinton cultists, I mean--is a product of slow news periods.
No, it's clearly much easier to believe in a nationwide conspiracy of evil, wealthy Jewish Lectoids who preferred that Joe Biden won and intervened to steal the election from Trump, while leaving no trace of their dastardly plot and making the whole thing look like just another election.
Yes, depending on how you're grading these things, season 2 could be seen as just as bad. If one is looking at the stupidity of the writing, I think season 3 is the worst at that, by far. As far as being dull and little happening, both seasons are guilty. As far as bad moves, I can't imagine why writers, given a zombie apocalypse with which to work on a weekly basis (a first of its kind, as you say) decided, after a 6 episode first season, to then immediately write the zombie apocalypse out of the story and leave it out for nearly the entirety of the next season, but to be fair, Frank Darabont initially had a VERY different idea for how season 2 should go, one that sounded far better but that was, by circumstances, sequentially abandoned. His original "Blackhawk Down With Zombies" ep with which he wanted to kick off that season sounded great. That was vetoed. Then, his next idea, which would have taken the characters into Atlanta, was shot but abandoned and never aired, for reasons that were never made particularly clear. What we got for the season 2 opener, then, was a version of what was supposed to be the 3rd ep of the season, one that was then padded with entirely extraneous material--dulled down--to make it a 90-minute ep.
"1. He did NOT call Mexicans killers and rapists of white people."
I see. It was all just a figment of the imagination of literally everyone:

"2. He did NOT call for a complete ban of muslims entering the US."
His exact words are that he's "calling for a total and complete shut-down of Muslims entering the United States":

Trump's campaign manager said this applied across the board, even to tourists:

Try your gaslighting on someone else.
Season 1 is, among other things, where all the timeline problems began. Rick had to be in the hospital less than 2 weeks--he still had an open wound and was still able to walk around and perform complex tasks, but everything else was indicating it had been much longer, and a scientist even says, at one point, it had been 6 1/2 months! These were probably just quality-control problems initially, but they kept turning up in the later seasons, indicating that no one involved in the writing, post-Darabont, really even cared about what they were writing. And boy, did THAT ever start to show in every aspect of the series!
Season 3 stands out as the absolute worst season of the show, as far as bad/cretinous writing is concerned. Every episode was some new collection of inanities, with 2 or 3 minutes of plot stretched into entire hours; by the end of the season, the writers were doing so little work that, it was later revealed, production had to be repeatedly shut down.
"I don't know where you got that, but I never heard Trump nor any of my fellow Trump supporters say anything liket that."
Trump's entire 2020 campaign was to go around telling people that if Democrats won, they would literally end America, murder Republicans in the streets, kill their families, burn their churches and businesses and allow a terrorist siege-state against white rightists, while simultaneously claiming Democrats were working to cheat and "steal" the election (the toxic combo that eventually led to 6 Jan.). He has always preached hatred, protofascism and the real thing. He began his 2016 campaign by calling Mexicans killers and rapists of white people and said the Mexican government was involved in a conspiracy to ship such people to the U.S.. He explained how American Muslims danced in celebration in the streets of New Jersey on 9/11. He called for a complete ban on Muslims entering the U.S.. He regularly encouraged his supporters to violently assault those who disagreed with him, These things were central to his campaign. His stock stump speech, for the last 2 years is just hatred of Dems, liberals, progressives, "the left." He rants against Democrats and tells his white followers, "This isn't their country, this is YOUR country."
