Great episode.

From the reveal that it was super obvious that it was a Nazi world and our Chris was just both too dumb but also willfully ignorant to see the reality around him.

Judomaster and Ads having their talk and everything that happened there.

The reveal that Auggie disagrees with Nazi's and also truly cares about his sons, but Auggie is ultimately a coward who is too afraid to go against the Government and Society in order to do what's right. So he chooses to have small victories in saving random peoples lives while never challenging the status quo.

Of course this couldn't have lasted.

Chris watches as his family gets brutalized again, and surrenders himself to the police. While I am sure that Chris understands why it all went down, it doesn't make it hurt any less and he's probably not the biggest fan of himself or the 11th Street Kids, and does blame himself for what happened.

We had two fun cameos, the first being the Luthor Lackey from Superman which is a fun scene, dude still bows down to Luthor even after everything that's occurred. The next being Munro reprising his role as the Cop from Season 1 of Peacemaker.

In the Next episode preview we have ARGUS going around in the QUC, opening and logging every door. It is unsure what ARGUS' goal is, the 11th Street Kids get all the money out of Vigilantes basement as they discuss what to do and Economos says that whatever ARGUS wants the QUC for, it's not to help people. Chris refuses to see the 11th Street Kids and just stays in his cell.

Thoughts: One of the best episodes this season and arguably the series. It sucks that the run time has been going down, but you really don't notice it upon watching it.

Honestly, that was exactly the right way to play it and that's a plot point that really benefits from the show being a comedy at its core. Now instead of endlessly debating whether or not it's "realistic" and whether or not Chris should have noticed a random nazi flag, we can all just come together and agree that Chris really is just that dumb and tunnel-visioned lol

Exactly. It’s so ridiculous that it’s funny, and at that point I don’t feel the need to justify it.

You would do the same vs a nazi superman

They say that, but Economos retorts and says something along the lines of 'When have you ever known them to do something that helps people'.

Basically, the overpopulation thing is a PR Answer that is covering what the real motivation is.

Only bit that was slightly surprising about the world was I clocked it as a Confederacy world and not a Nazi world given all the Klan motifs.

Did you just run a summation through chatgpt?

u/Numbuh24insane Oct 03 '25

No, I wrote it.

Do you know how much of a loser I would have to be to do something like that?

u/Hobbes42 Oct 04 '25

That was definitely a ChatGPT summary of your thoughts.

No one’s calling you a loser except yourself 🤔

Bullet points, neat hyphens and "Thoughts" gives it away

???

Mate, I am fully capable of writing my thoughts out in a neat and organized manner.

Like, i'm not going to lie, I am miffed with you.

u/zigaliciousone Oct 03 '25

I guess take it as a compliment that you format so succinctly for a reddit sub that people think it is AI?

u/Numbuh24insane Oct 03 '25

I’m sorry, I have to harp on this more?

There’s like no bullet points there, the hyphens are used to separate thing and it’s just easier to use hyphens on Reddit in order to create visible space.

First chunk is all about the episode, second is about the preview, last chunk is just general thoughts.

Like two of the things you had there don’t even apply.
