fandom's obsession with Canon is downright catholic

I really don't know who healyn is so I do keep thinking everyone is making incomprehensible posts about the ff14 all-mommy Hydaelen

death race 2000 

the most coherent message I can pick out of the movie is "Americans are fucking suckers for propaganda (including those opposed to the regime in control), and will accept anything if it's told to them, and will suffer any atrocity they are asked to as a result"

Frankenstein is also a revolutionary, out to more than ransom anyone, assassinate Mr president. and the rebels end up getting in his way more than anything. and kidnapping him would never have worked; he's not Mr president's friend at all, he's the latest actor/driver/government agent to play Frankenstein.

but i can't like. tell what it's trying to say about this. I feel certain it's TRYING to say something

OK I'm thinking about the movie's stance on revolutionary action and it's interesting

the rebels are trying to kidnap Frankenstein, who they believe to be Mr President's close friend, and hold him ransom in exchange for an end to the race

the head of the rebellion, Thomasina Paine, says that "this is no time for violence" to her hot-headed lieutenant. but he goes ahead with his plans and they work, he kills 3 of the 5 racers.

except!
