RE: The Twilight Zone "The Comedian" Full Episode
He, as well as a few others, altered the original story to be more racially charged
That was just a PC/SJW spin on a story
Oh boy lol :( Matt I am not so sure this show is for you at all if these are your thoughts. I mean, I read your comment on the first episode but didn't really get it but with your comment here, I am getting a better feeling of your view here based on these lines.
Barring the obvious political and race-focused undertones
Like just to go on this comment because I only watched the first episode, I actually think the show was going against this type of thing you are speaking of where focus gets put on anything political or race related. I thought they did a great job, where Kumail was playing a "libtard cuck soy etc etc" and the audience on the show (as well as myself and anyone watching) did NOT want to hear that bullshit. Like his first joke was trying to make a point about guns or something and it was lame. I just felt the show hammered the point after many times of him trying that lame joke it was not ever going to work. In fact as I type this out I feel a decent discussion could be had just on the first episode itself is a whole story to let the world know how lame it is to be a SJW/PC type of personality.
Your comments give me the feeling you have already seen the series, I am still giving it a chance because based on this first episode Jordan has done a good job. If you are a fan of the series, and though you seem very negative on it so far just feeling wise, I am glad you at the least did give it a shot. I am super glad I managed to stay away from an online noise about the show before watching it and went in blank because I did enjoy it and it brought me back to the original series, good story concept, play it through.
No I'm definitely going to keep watching. Like I was saying, The Twilight Zone has always been my favorite series of all time since I was a super young kid watching the New Years marathon's on the Sci-Fi Channel. I've seen every single episode of the original, all of Night Gallery, the 80s reboot, and the early 2000's reboot where Korn did the theme song (that was awful hahaha).
I enjoyed what I saw (the first two episodes of the 2019 reboot) aside from the clear spin being put on the stories which I see as poor/regressive taste that needs to fade out and that fact that I have a hard time not cringing seeing Jordan Peele in Rod Serling's shoes, especially knowing that he hasn't written anything thus far. Other than that, the first episode was pretty good.
You'll get what I'm saying if you pay close attention in the second episode where they took the Nightmare at 20,000 feet story, put a race-charged undertone on it, called it Nightmare at 30,000 feet, then took official story writing credit for it. I don't want to spoil it for you but it's a "WYPIPO IS KRAZZY AND ARE THE REAL BAD GUYS," episode.
Gonna go look up when the third episode comes out!
