Resistance is futile, so accept the rule of our corporate overlords...?~~ I don't think so, I think it's more: Some lone wolf individual/small vigilante group just upturning the system with no real plan beyond "fuck yeah fight the power" and thinking it'll lead to some enlightened public uprising and liberation is... not realistic. E Corp is like very clearly bad and I don't think the show is all that friendly to the excesses of capitalism either! I think it's just showing that the fantasy of just overturning and solving it all in a single act is just that - a fantasy. It wouldn't all just magically work out. You'd need a much larger plan to deal with the aftermath. I also think the core message of the show isn't actually about that and it's truly much more of an introspection into the characters, especially Elliot. And I also think a lot of this fits together a lot better by the end when you have all the information. Esmail had originally envisioned Mr. Robot as a movie before turning it into a TV show but he had the thing planned out start-to-finish so it is extremely cohesive and you'll be seeing things at the end of Season 4 that provide further context and information to events all the way back at the start of Season 1. I think it does a phenomenal job at addressing all questions by the end that may seem outstanding at the time as you watch it. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:934574944] in SaveEstell...
