  • I kinda agree. It’s a Lib show I won’t deny that.

    I think Silco is presented as a bit more complex than that though. The guy is brutal, but season one ends with him ALMOST achieving his goal, Jayce agrees to give the Undercity independence with a few reasonable concessions which Silco agrees to uphold. I feel like an even more Lib version of the show would have had him continue to escalate the conflict our of stubbornness and hate, but not he has a clear goal, pursues it without compromise, and seems happy to end the conflict when his goal is reached. I’ve known a surprising number of Libs who actually sympathize with the character, so I’d argue his writing is pretty effective.













  • Dude I saw something weird like this last night. I was driving down the alley behind my house to my parking pad, and there was this tall skinny kid in a hoodie slouched over, fixated on their phone, walking really slow. They second they saw my headlights they ran down the alley really fast, but once they came to the end of the alley they returned to slouching, looking at their phone, and walking slow, with the mechanical-ness of a video game NPC.

    That I kinda wrote off, but then once I was back inside I saw them running back down the alley, the opposite direction, but then they stopped again and slouched and kept looking at their phone at the same pace. They repeated this like four times, just running down the alley, slouch and walk slow looking at their phone, then running back.

    I was kinda spooked by it, thought I had encounter a SCP, the Slouching Kid.
