>Like many young men his age too clever by half, Peter Parker has walked through life with a chip on his shoulder and a pronounced belief that the world owes him a favor. Well he's about to get it. Bit no favor comes without strings attached, and unknown to Mr. Parker, those strings are currently wrapping themselves around him tighter than a spider's web. Tonight we present you a tale of hubris and humility that could only be told in the Twilight Zone.

>A clown. A mirthful figure of frivolous amusement. But what happens when the clown starts laughing at us? Well this clown is about to do just that, and society will never be the same, because this clown has just learned a word. A word that we dare not utter until our final act. A word listed under "n" in the lexicon of the Twilight Zone.

Oh shit, where’s commissioner Gordon when you need him?
Jaxon Rivera
Don't worry citizen, I'm on the case!

The only Gordon who would actually rape the Joker

It's funny because it's true and he'd actually do that joke
Robert Roberts
this man was too good for this world
Samuel Hernandez
The man wrote stories few would attempt. Too bad he got so frustrated with working in television because of that censorship he touched on
Anthony Perez
This is a very good thread
Joshua Torres
Giving the twilight zone reboot to “le racism is horror” man is one of the worst marketing mistakes of the decade. CBS is run by actual retards if they thought that would attract more customers to CBS all access instead of driving them more away like it’s doing.
Adrian Martinez
Twilight Zone was always progressive that way. Like that episode with the racist guy living the life of a oppressed people, that was a good one
Camden Sanders
I haven't seen Get Out or Us, but I'm given to understand they were very well received in general. That alone is going to get people interested, aside from just cashing in on the general nostalia and name brand of the series. My mother and aunt have both expressed interest in the CBS streaming platform to watch it. Personally the ad I saw for it kind of looked like a joke because it was full of actors I mostly know from comedies. I generally trust, or at least respect, my mother's taste in movies and shows, so if she ends up saying it's good I'll probably give it a chance.
Jason Peterson
Jordan peele isn’t progressive, he tries to find racism in every minor thing and blow it way out of proportion like a pre teen girl whining for attention.
Matthew Bell
As I was taking deep breaths and preparing myself to make my case to the crowd, I felt two hands on my shoulders. I froze. “Why is the vice-president of the United States touching me?”
I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. I thought to myself, “I didn’t wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual fuck? Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair?” He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head. My brain couldn’t process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused. There is a Spanish saying, “tragame tierra,” it means, “earth, swallow me whole.” I couldn’t move and I couldn’t say anything. I wanted nothing more than to get Biden away from me. My name was called and I was never happier to get on stage in front of an audience.
Sebastian Martin
it's really funny because he got famous by basically copying Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job
Mason Rodriguez
Peele is redpilled. Get Out was about white Liberals and Us is about Communism
Elijah Collins
Having seen Get Out, I will admit some of the choices in direction are pretty good, and his use of foreshadowing is well done.
The plot as a whole is fuckin garbage, though.
William Watson
The problem is that Rod Sterling was a master of suspense and storytelling and few could match his skill. That execution is the difference between a cringe-worthy plot and one fondly remembered.
Like the episode where a town executes an innocent man and darkness, bleak, neverending darkness hangs over and daybreak never comes and the people living there freak the fuck out over the realization that they did a horrible thing and are paying for it.
Or a racist "fresh from training school" WW2 officer in the pacific determined to go out of his way to kill as many Japanese as possible while his tired soldiers under his command argue unsuccessfully to show mercy to a beaten foe. Then he's transported to a point earlier in the war but now he's a Japanese soldier and his Commanding Officer is bloodthirsty to kill as many Americans as possible and he finds himself making the same arguments for mercy that his soldiers used on him.
Ethan Smith
You are doing a great job at finding ways to make it look like you're the oppressed one
Adrian Gray
>but I'm given to understand they were very well received in general.
A bunch of RT nut jobs will dicksuck anything if it’s progressive enough
>I generally trust, or at least respect, my mother's taste in movies and shows, so if she ends up saying it's good I'll probably give it a chance.
I’ve heard even this got bad reviews, so you may have to rethink your faith in your mother’s judgement
I shit you not I always only vaguely aware of him before get out
Ethan Morris
You’re right, point is their is no subtlety amongst the radicalized millennial zeitgeist now, it’s why political cartoons have become either Ben garrison on one side and baby hands man on the other.

thank you for this post

Now that I think about it, most early Marvel heroes played out like Twilight Zone episodes.
It's pretty obvious with the Hulk, Spiderman, and Fantastic Four, and even Iron Man.
Jonathan Moore
What the fuck just happened?
Wait, are we on an episode of the twilight zone about Jannies?
Nolan Collins
WELL HONKED
Christian Ortiz
Consider the titles of the books they debuted in.
Amazing Fantasy
Tales of Suspense
Strange Tales
Journey Into Mystery
A lot of these books weren't about characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man or Doctor Strange initially. They were anthology books that read like episodes of the Twilight Zone. They're essentially what you get if you took a one-shot Twilight Zone character and made an entire series around them.
Jonathan Barnes
But which Twilight Zone episodes would work as superhero origins?
Xavier Foster
>They're essentially what you get if you took a one-shot Twilight Zone character and made an entire series around them.
>come wander with me becomes the story of a failed musician wandering the hellscape while trying to find inspiration
>eye of the beholder becomes a story about normal people trying to integrate with pig-people-society and the hurdles they hit on the way
Fuck. Sounds comfy-weird.
Jason Reed
I really wish they would bring back some of those old school anthology horror titles like House of Mystery, Ghosts, Tales of Suspense & Journey into Mystery

you know black people don't talk like that. They have a distinct dialect but that is not what it sounds like.

Are you mentally challenged or just a dumbass? While certainly not innovative it was a great take on that horror gimmick

>Consider, for a moment, a boy. A boy born into prestige and wealth, to two loving parents with a reputation that spoke to their charity. A boy who would one day come to inherit the very empire that had granted him such a lavish life. I am referring, of course, to young Bruce Wayne of the esteemed Gothamite Wayne family. In another life, he might have to become the very playboy he would one day impersonate. This, however, is not that life. For Bruce Wayne, a simple segue into a darkened alley would send a tragic ripple through a once idyllic future. And as the resounding echo of his fateful decision takes flight through the Gotham night sky, so too will the man Bruce Wayne would one day become. Welcome to the Twilight Zone.
Hunter Cruz
Fantastic Four ending with them revealing the Thing
David Gomez
I feel like you shit the bed on the ending. Usually the Twilight Zone part's tied into the ending of the narration, not a separate sentence thrown out there.
