It's the Day's Day of Days! Because well, that certainly happened.
Muir's hamfisted framing of action is prominently on display here, with his new misogynistic leftist hate-toy pointing thuggish FBI agents (one of whom is Muir's Stock Black Thug retrofitted with a uniform) at Sam. It's abundantly clear that Sam is the Good Guy, being persecuted by the wretched, unfair Bad Guys. The problem is that Muir can dress up his cast in the trappings of Good Guys, but he can't write good. What he writes are cowardly, bigoted bullies who whine constantly about how awful it is that the world pushes back against their cowardice, bigotry and bullying. And so the waltz of the right wing paper dolls continues, growing a bit more desperate and inept with each year.
That's a very interesting way of looking at it----he can't write "good".
ReplyDeleteWhen has the cast ever shown courage in the face of overwhelming odds, or compassion for others? They've never faced the former, and instead coast by with the crude, brittle confidence of bullies. As for the latter, well, we know how they treat those not of the Tribe--enemies to be killed. Muir creates a pathetic little world for himself to escape in, and pretend to virtues he not only lacks, but doesn't even understand.
