Thrilling Adventure hour did it so much better.
ReplyDeleteI can kinda get the showing the gay beating. There's a number of people being raised now who don't know how bad the persecution could and sometimes still can be. I was riffing on some old Sid Davis informational shorts lately and it took even some people from my generation off guard in "Boys Beware" how 'gay' and 'pedophile' were taught as synonyms back then and how having completely consensual gay sex was a literal crime they charged you for. If you're going to have a gay character afraid of how they are set in an older time, it may not be an older time for some people but it helps to establish that was the attitude back then.
ReplyDeleteThat all being said, they definitely half assed it and I have no idea what Paul Bunyan had to do with anything.
