New Vid: The Un-American (Smallville, Gen mostly)
I haven't made a new vid in over 2 years, but I love this song and I love the VRA storyline on Smallville and it fit pretty perfectly IMHO. The vid is pretty meta as vids go, and I draw parallels to the real life heroes and villains of the McCarthy era. So think of this as the trailer to my as-yet-to-be-written meta about the VRA, McCarthyism, ( Read more... )
SV often doesn't get enough credit (even from its fans) for the ideas and realities it plays around with.
I KNOW RIGHT?! So many people dismiss it, but I'm like "No really! Pay attention because this is serious stuff". I love the VRA storyline and it's parallels to historical events DOES make it more real. As real as a story about an alien superhero could make it, because if superpowered heroes really did exist, hell yeah something like a VRA would happen as soon as they went public. And the fact that Smallville isn't necessarily painting it in strokes of black and white, but showing both sides not just with heroes vs. villains, but with showing us people like Sam Lane and Cat Grant who are obviously NOT bad guys but believe in this legislation with good reason.
Damn I just got excited for the show again. I'm actually really looking forward to Beacon more than anything else this season (except possibly the wedding and the finale).
