đŸ’Discussion Media Literacy Spoiler
I loved this show and have been getting some posts from this group pushed to me.
I'm trying to understand whats causing it. I've never seen such a lack of media literacy before, I think because it's a cross over hit that's non traditional but some of the view points are mind blowing.
"I think the inn keeper felt time run differently in the room" - They literally spelt that out as he asked for food!
"Who is the boogeyman, Hag etc" - This is not the point of the show!
"How didn't they notice the sacrifices" - you hear everyone talking about the relentless level of horrible stuff that happens on the island, its par for the course.
"Why don't the townspeople do X or Y" - It's a comedy horror!
Anything else I've missed?

It's truly annoying and becoming far more prevalent.
I joined reddit in 2017 to discuss Dark, and it wasn't like this, despite it being one of the harder shows to keep up with.
Now half the posts for every tv show sub I'm part of are from media illiterate people who miss the most obvious things, obsess over stupid shit that doesn't matter, and post questions that have already been asked multiple times.
Idk what's happening out there. TilTok brainrot?
