Amos is how I would run an evil aligned character in a campaign. He knows he's a bad person, so he outsources his conscience to the others.
That's a fucking brilliant idea. That will 100% be my next character
ihaveblunderedyetagain
He's definitely not a bad person. It's referenced that he had a fucked up childhood and had to do fucked up things because of that. He
I didn't say he was bad, I said his alignment was evil. As in his first instinct to problem solving is murder. Lots of murder.

Almost any government system could be great, the problem is finding a philosopher king good enough to lead it. So many do poorly.

Still don't understand how "Antifa" is supposed to be a bad thing. How do you paint Anti-Fascists as bad?
Blacktusk
Much like critical race theory, you start by not knowing what it is and then let grifters define it wrong for you until you're angry.
Heres a fun exercise! Next time someone brings up 'Antifa' or 'BLM' in a negative fashion demand they say the full words instead.
By using propaganda to turn a loose decentralized concept with no structure into a scapegoat boogeyman as the source of all your problems.
There's a reason the common joke is "I'm the president/leader/king of Antifa", because it's as broad and generic a term as "civil rights".
TheSecondPiewackit
By fashioning people into fascists who don't think they're fascists, and then saying "These guys are your enemy."
Frozenspokes
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it's most likely a duck. Even if it's not self aware enough to know what a duck is.
You've just defined the difference between an Agent and an Asset.
By not understanding that "your side" which AntiFa is against, is "Fa," and this the "bad side."
Mewmus
it's not the concept of being anti fascist that pisses people off, it's the group that calls themselves "antifa" assaulting/attacking 1/
people that exercise their 1st amendment right to peaceably assemble that pisses people off. counter protest all you want, but the 2/
second you assault the people you are counter protesting, you are in the wrong. "Although I may disagree with what you say I'll defend 3/
to the death your right to say it". and on that note: fuck any and all ACTUAL racists/nazis/supremacists etc. 4/4

svennisiggi
Antifa uses both nonviolent and violent direct action to achieve its aims. *...Yeah its probably that violent action that paints them bad.
5amNonsense
Serious question. Do people who think like this honestly believe there has never been a good reason for violence?
I didnt say i shared that belief, i dont oppose fighting evil men. I said "thats probably what paints them bad."
So i would say its fairly understandable why the bad light. Or do you have good reasons to approve of their violence and feel it does good?
However, they are not fighting hitler. I believe violence is last resort. They are a bit new to be allready at last resort.
people exercising their 1st amendment right to peaceably assemble is never a good reason for violence
Ah yes I forgot the nazis did nothing but peaceful assembly to voice their discontent with the state of affairs in 1900's Germany, silly me
um....that's not what I was talking about at all. unfortunately war is sometimes necessary
SIGMA920
By using a too fluid definition of fascism. Anfifa's goal is admirable but can be aimed at the wrong people or groups. This is yet to be an
issue but as the political divide grows, it almost certainly will be one at some point.
TheMrrigan
Antifa is not a monolithic group
Which is a massive part of the problem.
What? How is the fact that antifa is not some singupar organization with a singular ideology a "massive part of the problem"?
Call yourself anfifa and then you automatically get identified as being anfifa, that's literally perfect for nutjobs to ruin the name.
barnsandnobel
How do you mean aimed at the wrong people? You mean like antifa wielded like a cudgel against others?
Politician(s) decide they don't like someone(s), they then call them nazis and carefully word what they're doing in a way that makes them
look bad. Now they're a target.
Gnavin
Politicians are already doing this against antifacists, BLM, and other groups. Antifa is working against those efforts.
Thats the fear isnt it, but it relies on the assumption that the people are dumb enough to not understand what fascists look like.
You're being too optimistic if you think that will not be a problem.

Come to think of it, I think Prax saves the most lives just as one guy. Except maybe Miller but that was more of a team effort.
ARoseByAnotherUsernameWouldSmellAsSweet
Hey, I‘d wager you‘ve seen the series, so… can I just switch to the books 7-9 after finishing the series? I read there are some differences.
Major differences. Like whole characters that dont exist or are totally different. I dunno if it matters though cuz the next book jumps 1/
Characters are very different..Naomi for example is a dumpster fire in the show, but one of the best in the books.
SheenaDee
IMO 7-9 can almost be read as stand-alones. There’ll be some confusion with characters that were merged/changed, but plot is solid.
Most of those are dead at that point even. Basically only leaving Drummer I think (out of the changed people)
Like 20 years into the future. I do think the books are very very worth reading. A lot of the deeper stuff isnt as apparent in the show 2/2
tirohtar
You should read all the books first. Some characters are merged in the show, and Alex had to be killed off cause the actor was problematic.
I‘ll go for the audiobooks (I drive a lot) but thank you. I think I‘ll postpone getting them just so I don‘t gear the story twice in such
Short time and just listen to the whole series then. Thanks for your advice
Which sucks cuz book Alex is a fantastic character
QuarkCharmer
Did the show do them justice, or did they only scratch the surface?
iamnoobplzhelp
It was great until the last season. Boring antagonist and no aliens.
I like the books a lot better but the show is pretty good. I got frustrated when they wrote out/ deeply changed some characters
I mean i like drummer in the series but she was literally 2 different characters they smashed together and picked out the choice bits from.
Ty and Dan (james S.A. Coray) are the exec prods on the show, they've made changes to fit it into it's run but overall it's been good imo.
The switch to amazon did curtail some expectations for Alcon, but otherwise they did achieve a lot.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
Felt right to me.
Havent read the books but the show is really good. They relaxed with the move to Amazon but in the 1st few season they really paid >
attention to the practicalities of space. Like water in squeeze tubes, not cups.
WhellerNG
I’ve not yet watched the show, only read the books. But I understand there were some plot short cuts taken in the show when they got (1/2)
Cancelled the first time, and that’s going to always be a problem for a show. (2/2)
OldDickSlap
The show is a great adaptation. Some divergence, a few characters missing or merged, but handled really well. I love the show, it's great.
Greyeyes1973
Drummer was the PERFECT example of merging different characters. But she killed the role so well it was the best choice
Yes! Cara Gee is awesome. One of the few occasions where I think I liked the on screen version of a character better than the book.
homoerection
I loved the first two seasons, haven’t watched the third yet
HaloArchitect
The third was still good. The fourth was starting to lose steam. I didn't make it past that.
Not bad. Could have been better. I feel like my part was under-represented in later seasons.

Felt right to me.

Havent read the books but the show is really good. They relaxed with the move to Amazon but in the 1st few season they really paid >

attention to the practicalities of space. Like water in squeeze tubes, not cups.

I’ve not yet watched the show, only read the books. But I understand there were some plot short cuts taken in the show when they got (1/2)

Cancelled the first time, and that’s going to always be a problem for a show. (2/2)

The show is a great adaptation. Some divergence, a few characters missing or merged, but handled really well. I love the show, it's great.

Drummer was the PERFECT example of merging different characters. But she killed the role so well it was the best choice
OldDickSlap
Yes! Cara Gee is awesome. One of the few occasions where I think I liked the on screen version of a character better than the book.

I loved the first two seasons, haven’t watched the third yet

The third was still good. The fourth was starting to lose steam. I didn't make it past that.

Not bad. Could have been better. I feel like my part was under-represented in later seasons.

Had fun on Eros, then Venus.

The last line of the series was basically "what about that protomolecule we forgot about". Too many strands to tie up nearly on 6 episodes

Not the last line. There are 3 more books that tie up the story, satisfactory IMO. Not their fault Amazon decided to bail.
