Topic | what are some examples of terrible media literacy you have seen |
RchHomieQuanChi 08/07/23 9:28:35 AM #38: | Zack Snyder playing Rorschach completely straight as "the only sane man" and as a "we live in a society" edgelord, whereas in the original comic, he's a misogynistic, deranged homeless man whose Objectivist worldview is completely detached from reality, and the only other characters he gets along with are a human doormat and a literal rapist, whom he places on a pedestal and happens to have more respect for than someone whose only crime is prostituting or using drugs.
A bunch of people reading the "I am the one who knocks" scene as Walt finally becoming a badass, rather than a clear sign that Walt is scared shitless, feels emasculated and is trying to overcompensate through violence and by yelling at his wife in a display of toxic masculinity. People unironically wanting to be Tyler Durden. In general, people not realizing that there's a difference between a character endorsing a certain action or belief and the writer endorsing a certain action or belief. Mostly happens when you have a flawed protagonist and people assume we're supposed to agree with them just because they're the character we follow. But it also happens a lot with characters who are clearly meant to be villains, but have enough sympathetic qualities that you can be fooled into thinking they're right. --- I have nothing else to say ...
