Haven't watched it and I don't really plan to. That said, is Mengele in it, and if so is he accurately portrayed as the psychotic serial-killer sperg that he was or did they make him a super-biologist like Boys from Brazil did?
Nope. But they had a guy who was 'worse then Mengele'. Don't know if its true or not. I think another problem of the show, besides the revisionist history angle, is that there are too many 'big evil baddies' that are paper thin. Instead of just hunting down the SS and Gestapo with one or two cruel bastards, they throw them at you so you sort of just shrug, until you can't tell what's real or fake anymore. The Nazis are really just cartoonishly evil, there's really no backstory on what makes a man a monster, except a few very brief, inconsequential lines of dialogue. Its all very black and white, especially just as they beg for their lives.
Like, you can't really get to hate them properly, because they just throw them at you because the conspiracy bullshit is more important to the show, which wasn't even a conspiracy in the first place. Bad guys in video games are written better. And the stupid fucking twist at the end. Jesus. Its stupid and I saw it coming ten miles away.
That's a big problem too. There's no one to really 'hate'. Even Lena Olen, the bad guy Nazi leader, just spouts eugenics shit and has a shitty plot which makes no sense. Like she doesn't torture anybody or shoot anybody. We're given none of her backstory at the end for a second shitty twist:
turns out she's Eva Braun. Somehow no Nazis died during the war. The main villain is American (shocker) and just a sociopath but a 'funny' sociopath. Again, he's one note. You don't know how he became involved, why, for what purpose. He's just 'crazy evil bad guy you should hate'.
I'm spoiling her 'plot', because it is unbearably stupid and you have to see it to believe it.
what they're going to do is put a virus in corn syrup which will be in everything. They mention it 'targets minority communities and the inner city' but there's no guarantee it won't spread and murder everyone else. They've got this stereotypes that minorities eat junk food so only they'll die, but it makes very little sense. The characters literally say 'this will be in everything' while the Nazis say 'this will target the minorities'. Well, from reality, HFCS is in fucking everything, everywhere. Every single American consumes it.
Honestly, its funny. Because 1) It posits the inner city eats garbage, which is pretty degrading. 2) That they can somehow magically control who eats it and who doesn't and it won't spread beyond the inner city. Do they control the food makers? The distribution centers? The supermarkets? How are you going to keep a massively cheap product that will soon be ubiquitous in one place? If you put it into junk food, it will go literally everywhere and its out of your hands how companies use it. How will this help you conquer America anyway?
You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Hunters was secretly some Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers tier parody of shitty revenge movies at this point.
Its really, really not. If it is, it is TERRIBLY done. It treats its segments as something VERY serious. Like the 'Why do people Hate Jews?' game show. At the end, he goes: "Do you know how many people play this game? (Lists off everyone from co-workers to lovers to spouses). How many people play this game in their head?" Then the guy looks directly into the camera and with all seriousness goe: "DO YOU? (dun dun dunnnnn)"
Its not satire. Its an idiot's version of....something. I'm not really sure what. But its fucking re.tarded.
EDIT:
There's really only one good actor I liked and that's Dylan Baker. I enjoyed his performance a lot because he was just fucking hamming it up and was just a pure asshole.
Also the main character's best friends are, no fucking joke, named literally bootyhole and cheeks.
EDIT2:
I know I'm posting a lot about this, but its so fucking stupid I cannot get it out of my head.
" dumb.
