If they want to...I don't care. This version is apparently based on the revamped comics, the main writer of the show apparently also wrote the new version of the comics so I guess he would know better if it's faithful to the comics or not. I don't remember them saying a number; I only recall Zelda said they were the descendants of the settlers of the town in an episode(???) but I don't know. I've been meaning to rewatch some of the episodes over the holidays. Maybe I'll figured it out :P Why not? I don't think it 'needs' to be anything. I don't think it 'needs' to be apolitical or political, liberal or conservative. It can be whatever it wants. The different accents are jarring to me as well, though neither one is doing an American accent. It's a bit confusing to me why either of the sisters would have a British accent. I thought they were the descendants of the witches who settled in Greendale. Shouldn't they be American? I think you need to learn more about how genetics works- mixed race children can come out any color. I think it was a PBS poll so it's a bit skewed towards the preferences of older white women. There is a difference between between propaganda and content with a different point of view than yours, e.g. I wouldn't typically classify a Christian film as propaganda, even though they're not known for their subtlety I would call it a Christian film . I don't know how sensitive you are, it's not about white privilege but if even hearing the word 'feminist' bothers you then, no, this show is not for you. I'm on the second episode and IMO gets better... He dies; he would have come back to kill her if he hadn't. I think there is a somewhat supernatural angle.The Reverend says near the end that as a doomed man he can do anything. The movie seems to imply that his lust for his daughter put him outside moral rules, and thus gave him increased strength. Instead of moral fortitude, he had immoral physical strength. Is that supernatural though or is that a placebo effect? It seemed kinda silly to me how the Reverend was able to kill so many people without resistance; especially, the gunslinger. I would think the gunslinger would have more strength and experience to at least put up a fight. I would say the biggest flaw in the movie is this quasi-supernatural angle. It seems rather incompletely conceptualized and the movie uses it inconsistently. That's Nathan, he's the father of the baby that Liz was unable to deliver. He held a vendetta against her and swore he would punish her. Arresting and likely hanging her is his revenge. View all replies >
