It’d be incredibly unrealistic to have them have any degree of success given the ease of determining their motive and potential targets, and the sheer amount of resources the police would undoubtedly throw at finding someone who was killing oligarchs.
I’d watch this show.
Oh, right. A show. Of course.
RobinKillin Hood(Cuz he be killin’ instead of robbin’)
“evil rich people”
There’s no such thing as an innocent billionaire
Right, and that will happen because TV shows aren’t produced by billionaire-owned media corporations.
Star Wars: Andor is made and produced by fucking Disney. Squid Games was produced by Netflix.
Never underestimate the ability of capitalism to commodify anything and everything, even the dissent of the system.
Try to make it on VEO3 and Google will come back saying it’s against the TOS.
Make anything else on the exact same basis except sub out rich people for anybody else… allowed!
But Cops is currently on it’s 37th season.
Wasn’t that cancelled?
the show was later picked up by Fox Nation, a streaming service from Fox News Media, and the 33rd season premiered on October 1, 2021
Ah. On-brand for them.
well even if Cops went away, you have stuff like LivePD and any number of copaganda shows on every network
They already made one. His catchphrase was “You have failed this city”.
He as straight as an Arrow
You’re making a show about killing money men. Good luck convincing the money men to fund it. And that’s how it works.
Otoh, making video is pretty cheap these days.
Neo Ranga is an old anime about how the Yakuza fund politicians. Guess what else the Yakuza fund? You could tell that anime had no budget.
Even if you did find some way to fund and produce it, what corporate media empire is going to allow it on their network where more than a handful of people would ever see it?
The issue is hosting. YouTube would never allow that, and other platforms are too small.
Leverage was kinda like this but they didn’t kill them
I mean, I get it, I feel the same sometimes. It’s just much better to strip them of their assets and dump em all on epstein island with a survival package including guide.
Let them learn how to survive for real instead. Much better punishment.
(I mean, look at Australia, those guys became pretty awesome. Not perfect, but hey… We’re all human.)
Weren’t the prisoner in Australia “regular” criminals, though?
Put it on Amazon Prime! With ads!
Lots of ads. More than YouTube’s amount of ads.
… as a TV show, right? Right?
Based on true events?
I’d prefer a documentary series.
Not really a true crime guy, but
The Luigi Files: Part 1
Repeat after me, New Yorkers: I’ve never heard that name before. Is that a Tendo game?
HansChristianAndersen.jpeg
Or whatever his name is.
in minecraft that is
Yes, nobody would be that insane to think otherwise…maybe even a reality TV show type of deal would be cool.
“Coming this fall: ten billionaires are locked in a house with a murderous psychopath. Who will be the first victim, and who make it to the end? Use your phone to vote each week on what weapons the murderer will have access to! Introducing: Bigger Brother! Only on cable!”
So it would be 10 sociopath against 1 murderous psychopath? Whatever the end result would be, it sounds like a win!
I’d watch it.
Or we could free Luigi, and get the real thing!
Current world record holder on the highscore
No I believe that title goes to Mao or Lenin
Luigis Mansion: A TV show about a mansion filled with kidnapped billionaires. Sprinkle some inspiration from the Saw movies on top, and we’ve got a hit.
That’s a good idea for a ‘dystopian’ thriller book
I’d fuckin watch that.
This is why I now advocate for a Mamdani/Mangione 2028 presidential ticket.
I know he can’t run for president right now but, maybe we can break the rules for the benefit of the people some day.
That’s crazy, Americans would never vote in someone accused of such serious crimes right? A suspected felon could never be in the White House, that would be unthinkable!
/s
We may need to rewrite the constitution before this is all over anyway.
This would go so hard
I mean…yes?
I’d vote for that.
And also title the show “Luigi”
First 2 seasons of Arrow were like this. But yes I would watch the shit out of it. Make it a law and order style straight from the headlines and make the rich people resemble real life rich people.
Go all out and get Dick Wolf behind this. “Law and Order: Vigilante Justice” where the cops are all inept but there is a dedicated team of New Yorkers working together to bring justice to the streets of America.
Call it the Super Mario Super Show
Loved the first seasons of Arrow. The crossover episodes with Flash were great.
The protagonist was a rich guy too. A more socially conscious one, but still a rich guy.
Well you got to have resources im fine with rich on rich violence maybe we could put it into an arena of some sort.
Oh, a TV show. I thought you meant for real. Also, isn’t ’evil rich’ kind of redundant?
The news is on TV im not very picky
The first 2 seasons of Arrow were so damn good.
'You failed this city!"
I honestly wouldn’t. Not because I disagree with the concept, but because more on-point escapist media would just ensure that people will get their revolutionary fix without ever leaving the couch. We don’t need that. We need people to be angry, to be fed up, to have no other escape than to fight for it.
Capitalism has done wonders at keeping us sedated by selling us our fantasies of change and better days. It’s time we stopped taking those meds.
My only argument against this idea, which a part of me supports, is we need to start pushing forward our own propaganda against the billionaire class to get more people on board with the movement. And entertainment is an avenue for propaganda to achieve this.
Actions speak louder than words, and all the shows follow is a script. Reality is much more interesting than anything Netflix or Amazon can show us.
Let’s make it even more interesting, then!
Things is, true revolutionary effort is far from exciting or interesting.
It’s literally just getting involved in local politics and forming lobbying groups with like minded people. It’s boring shit getting together with your local community to bitch about what needs to be done, how y’all will acquire the resources to get it done, and delegate who is going to do it.
Yet, that’s how all of society functions. The biggest issue with today’s society is how isolated from this process people are. We go to work and go home without ever being involved in the things that control our workplaces and homes.
I think being angry enough to kill someone may be the top.
And I think Luigi would have done nothing had he stayed submerged in escapism, is my point.
But he didn’t do anything. Luigi and the guy in the security camera look nothing alike.
Luigi was at my house playing Xbox all day that day.
Call him Luigi
