One the other hand, from what I can tell from a similar check, "World earth government condemns half the planet's population to death" (access to the infrastructure built to survive the titular program is apparently only provided to half the world's population) is fairly straightforward?

It seems to mostly be a disaster movie rather than something with a dystopia focus, but even an idle skim suggests it has some pretty hefty dystopian elements, heh.

I'm not even sure if there's a meaningful call to boycott it, just more people bringing awareness to the fact it's full of racist twaddle and was written by a lost causer jackass. Less "you mustn't read/watch it" and more "it and the author's both kinda' shit, you're better off finding something else to do with your time".

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

I'unno, from what I've learned of musk's life, there wasn't much of a window to die a hero and it closed at some point before he went into business. So, I mean. Yes? But also, uh.

Perspective character is at this boring ass upper middle class type house "party", mostly consisting of light music and stilted conversation... heavily contrasted to a short earlier scene at a lower class one of similar intent that mostly consisted of food and video games and general cheer. Other character starts talking about the rainy weather forecast for the next day, really mundane, boring stuff.

Viewpoint cut to outside the building: Pterodactyl Interrupt. It has these black oval looking things on the wings with a glowing green circle around the outer bits. It pulses, there's this wave of something, and then the ground starts shaking.

Social gathering thing is promptly disrupted by a stegosaurus going through the front wall as the first arrival of a murderous dinosaur stampede. Everyone panicking, half the attendants already dead, in response to someone saying "RUN!" someone else makes the pointed observation "Run where!?"

Perspective character character ends up deciding "maybe upstairs??". Beyond the clear impression that's not going to help because the building's going to shortly collapse due to dinosaurs crashing through it, this turns out to be an immediate mistake as some kind of raptor/dragon hybrid looking fucker is already coming down from upstairs. Wake up as toothy maw is coming straight for the viewpoint character's face.

... I'm not sure if it was worth waking up at 5 in the morning for that, but there's worse ways to get woke up early. Production values immaculate as always, premise absurd but awesome, easy 7 out of 10 as dreams go. Today's forecast: Rainy with a chance of dinosaur attacks.

"But what's second?"

"There is no second. He just sits there, crying and sermonizing about badgers. I never wanted to hear the parable of the badgers of the holy see, but here we are."

E: Though as thoughts go, it occurs to a person that if you dumped a crate full of badgers into one of those giant crowds of religious worshipers, people would probably end up dying. Badgers themselves might not hurt anyone, but crowd crush is real and terrifying and probably what happens when people notice there's a pile of distressed badgers nearby.

Speaking of evolve, something I pulled off the discord: You stick it in your browser's console, and if you have a resource, it maxes that resource and keeps it there. Suddenly I'm having a bit of fun with this thing and no longer thinking quite so hard of walking away :V
