This is more of a #im14andthisisdeep sorta statement.
I’m in agreement with you btw lol I think the names dumb, wanting to keep the master race title is the dumb hill to die on.
That doesn’t remove the connotation for larger audiences. A layman will never know those details and will read master race as being about race. The social context and history are irrelevant, it’s genuinely a dumb hill to die on.
This series started as an [adultswim] short called Scavengers. “Reign” was added afterward to make it distinct from what was effectively the pilot, which had a more minimalist approach but featured the same themes that were featured throughout the series.
Loved both. Definitely recommend the Scavengers pilot AFTER the main series Scavengers Reign though.
