    Movie theaters are suffering because of covid. So studios and publishers are looking to streaming for distribution. With theaters movies had to appeal to a wide range of people because you need asses in the seats. So less controversial content, more generalized tropes and stories. Budgets inflated because of eye-candy and star-power. Streaming kinda upturns that because you can sell the streaming service itself rather than a specific movie. So you can actually make it a plus that your streaming services hosts controversial, underground, or counter-culture stuff. And sort of like podcasts, you get to choose your audience with a movie on a streaming services.

    Therefore I propose that high political streaming services or movies/shows will gain popularity over the next couple of years. All these right wing media people are either going to try to create their own service or elbow their way into existing services. Then all the right wing people can shun degenerate Hollywood and Netflix. We get two parallel entertainment industries like two political realities.

    This makes me wonder if those "This Children's Cartoon Is Actually Marxist, And Here's Why" Breadtube videos have a right-wing equivalent. "My Hero Academia Supports Trump, And Why That's Based".

        I think even when I watched anime I thought the fights sucked (no strategy like a JoJo's), the powers sucked (no insanity like a JoJo's), the characters sucked and the dialogue was plain. Mina's a babe I guess. I don't know how it is in terms of leftist politics, I feel most of that is usually ad-hoc made up or making more out of "omg a rich villain - this is anti-capitalist!"

        I should of course mention my excellent webserial Urasaria Academy (free on Webnovel!) which features far better fights, far more interesting powers (fog that "fills" things, extreme body/skeletal control that's a play on "what if necromancers could only control their own organs/skeleton", graffiti spraycan that changes the properties but not texture of an object - leading to wood that flows like water), uh, far more realistic characters and far deeper dialogue, training arcs where characters discourse over the nature of crime & its smallest causes, actual anti-cop characters & Neo-Nazi/ICE border agent villains rather than headcanoned ones, etc.

        But it's also a novel and not an anime, so anyway. I'm legally obliged to mention it when I see the opportunity.

    He just moved to Tennessee where the budgets are cheaper for things like this apparently. This coupled with his probably god awful writing and I am sure only the lols with ensue. I hope it's like sub WWE studios level stuff. Ben Shapiro and Dan Crenshaw in Navy Seals 3.
