THE BOYS

Well fuck, something else I can't watch again.

This is from the entirely mainstream IMDB, by the way, in case you were wondering. You can find more, ah, detailed material on less vested interest sites.

This shite didn't so much admit as celebrate torturing Palestinians when he was a squad leader of the Baby Burners.

Shit.

The Bad Guys 2: "People who have criminal pasts face workplace discrimination that prevents them from living honest lives, which forces them back into the very same crimes that they wanted to move on from and reinforces biases against them."

In the very first The Bad Guys book, their first successful good deed is freeing a bunch of dog dudes from prison.

Throughout the book series, there is a recurring news reporter, Tiffany Fluffit, who continues to slander the group as evil criminals despite them gradually getting overwhelming public support, and only realizes how her bigoted views towards them have blinded her after someone exploits her views to screw the heroes over.

Everything about the central premise as I had mentioned carries on throughout the film and is in the third act as well. Including how the film ends.

Wolf only goes along with Kitty's plan because he wants to protect Diane and give his group a chance to turn their lives around. He's trying to turn his blackmail into an opportunity to get the respect he's looking for because up until then, their lives as "reformed criminals" has not been working out. They have been discriminated against when looking for work, they can't make rent or bills, and everyone around them seems prepared for them to re-offend. In fact, the moment it looks like they are, they are once again treated as criminals.

Kitty had been racially profiled as a "monster" ever since she was a child due to her sharp fangs and claws, to the point that no matter what good she tried to do, she was only overlooked, and her classmates only cared about her the moment she played into those expectations. Her heist was never about getting rich from stealing all the world's gold. It was about punishing society for casting her out from the beginning, to show them "I don't need your approval or respect, I will get my way." And she can't fathom why Wolf and his crew, one of the greatest criminal capers in history, would give all that up for a society that will never give them the respect they want. To Kitty, if they'll never respect you, then fear will work just as well.

Diane had gotten sick of living life the way she had been predisposed to living - as a notorious tricky fox thief - and buried her past so she could live the kind of life she really wanted by helping people. She canonically saved the world from climate change. Yet not even she is safe from discrimination. All the goodwill she had earned from her past few years as Governor evaporates the moment the video exposing her as the Crimson Paw goes online. No one questions the legitimacy of the video, no one asks why a thief would give up their life of crime to become an honorable politician. She's immediately seen as the "tricky fox" once again.

One of them is because it’s a movie about a co-ed, full-contact sport where the most legendary player is a woman. And a young boy is seen idolizing that woman so much it’s a defining part of his character, but no one ever gives him grief or says he should look up to a boy.

The main protagonist has a bisexual best friend who openly finds both men and women attractive.

One of the players on the main team is implied to be transgender because she's a she/her ostrich with male ostrich feather colors.

The commentators are gay for each other I think.
