    Reminds me of a BESM rpg someone I knew wanted to run. His idea was “kill Sailor Moon.” We finally caved and came up with a party that obliterated the whole crew in one session. My character was stacked with every possible disadvantage so I could get “explodes on death” coupled with “resurrects somewhere safe.” I can’t remember the blast radius, somewhere between 1 city block and 1 mile radius.

    In case you’re interested, the rest of the crew was a wizard worth lots of flashy damage dealig spells up his sleeve, one mysterious charismaniac, and one retired Navy Seal sniper. Their roles were, respectively; get their attention, group them all together, and (after I walked near enough to them) shoot me in the head. The wizard also teleported him and the charisma guy away - radio earpieces are cheap and effective.

    It was pretty funny watching the disbelief on the GM’S face as our death squad obliterated 5 teenage girls and their creepy stalker in like 3 hours. Most of that was min-maxing. Never underestimate the ability for a bunch of gamers to ruin any possible plan with enough character points and a few hours of prep time.

      Yeah sure sure. Bunch of Zionists just so happen to think of a reason to portray Muslims as terrorists but can’t find an Israeli symbol anywhere. Or wait should they just go full antisemitism? Ohh religious discrimination is only fine against Muslims I forgot.

        Buddy you misunderstood the point. The whole show is a massive criticism of both capitalism and racism. The fact that this guy was a caricature was intentional, both in the boys and as a meta statement by the author. It’s saying that western fear of middle eastern terrorists is driven by racist propaganda meant to trick people into accepting forever wars to fund the military industrial complex.

          That’s the excuse but in the end they got a Muslim on screen blowing himself up and that’s what sticks in people’s heads. You go to his wiki page and it says “Islamic terrorist”.

    IIRC, he was created by Vought (the corporation that makes super powered people) to be the perfect justification for them to seize military power in the US.

    Say what you will about the show, but getting an IDF soldier to play this character is the best casting I’ve ever seen

      I’d say it was good casting if he legitimately felt sorrow for the crimes he did on behalf of the IDF, and used his platform to speak out on behalf of those currently being genocided. But in the interviews about it he seems to have a casual view on his crimes, and mostly focuses on his own mental health.

      Frenchie as a character has deep sorrow for his past actions, but the actor doesn’t seem to.

      So in practice it’s terrible casting. It shits on all of the messaging of the show.

      One of the characters also has pictures framed in his house one of the black panthers (I think Huey Newton) right next to a framed picture of Obama. Lol

    Kash Patel?

    I would have guessed a white supremacist Caucasian Donald Trump supporter, but by the looks of it, I would say Kash Patel.
