>le smart science lady didn't actually exist in real life
Why would they make her a character then?
Chernobyl
100% real answer: diversity quota
you're just kidding yourself if you don't believe this
for the woke audience
I was fucking dumbfounded when I saw "oh yeah this driving force in the story wasn't even real lmao", what a great way to throw out all of your credibility.
man bad, woman good
I can only hope that one day Hiroshimoot will nuke /pol/ forever. Seriously, you cant go onto any non porn board without thread after thread of people bitching and whining about "the SJW menace" as if it's still 2014
>have dozens of real scientists whose role you have to portray
>decide you will merge them into one character because the show takes 5 hours and not 5 months
>the character can be male or female, there were male and female characters
>go for female because why the fuck not, also the actress is top tier and already had a proven chemistry working with Skarsgård
>as a bonus it angers the incels and satisfies the feminists and sjws
dilate
Khomyuk would have been equally insufferable if she'd been a man
>defending a character who is *solves everything* personified
If they were a real person I'd be impressed but this is lazy and makes me distrust the facts of the rest of the show
Why is this thread
There is a general
shut up, incel
have sex
The general is just for vomiting memes
>Dyatlov is BASED!
>3.6 breddy gud xDD
>lol ur delusional haha
it steals the credit from a number of people who put hard work into solving the issue just so that they can go DID YOU KNOW THERE WERE FEMALE CHEMISTS IN THE SOVIET UNION
>Trying to have numerous historical characters represented as one character that can solve all their problems if rest of the cast just listened
No, that's stupid. No matter what gender, race or sexual orientation that character is that the writers are shilling for. It's nonsense to have a fictional character be this hyper competent that outsmarts everyone else and can solve all the problems in a otherwise realistic historical setting, when in reality, it was a collaborative effort involving numerous people.
You're the kind of idiotic sheep that believes cancer and other diseases can be cured by one person because you think that's how history works. Or the Apollo Mission was spearheaded and lead by a single person. It's not. It's a group effort, and if a show claims to be historically accurate, it should represent all the characters who actively contributed to the events. Shame on you for thinking this is in any way acceptable.
>it steals the credit from a number of people
The fucking credits state clearly that she's an amalgamation of those people, he also states it repeatedly on the podcast. There's no subterfuge going on here faggot.
It’s almost like it’s a television show or something. Fucking retarded incel
>podcast
meme
It undermines the credibility of the show because of how lenient they are with the truth which is ironic because of how heavily they criticise Russia covering up the truth.
because women have to continually reinforced 24/7 that they're not just baby makers and caretakers, despite the overwhelming evidence surrounding them, or they won't watch a TV show or movie
And before a redditor educated by wikipedia shows up, all the "feminist" propaganda in the USSR was just communist party talking points reinforcing how "equal" everyone was, there were no competent women involved in any part of their government or society, all the female soviet scientists were all just tools of the state used to control their population.
dude buzzwords lmao
it doesn't change the fact that the show isn't historically accurate which is a slight against the people who were actually involved
>DID YOU KNOW THERE WERE FEMALE CHEMISTS IN THE SOVIET UNION
there literally were though. How is this stealing credit from men anymore then a male actor would be stealing credit from women?
One of my professors grew up and did his PhD in the USSR. One of the things he credited the Soviet Union with (he was mostly a staunch critic) was sex parity in the sciences. That is, there were more or less the same number of men as women working as physicists. So having a bunch of different scientists, both male and female, represented on-screen by one actress isn't historically inaccurate.
just for plot convenience in order not to have to put too many characters
if you're buttdevastated/triggered/threatened by the fact that they used a female character for that you need to go to university and also to unironically have sex
BASED AND DILATEPILLED
DISCORDTRANNYS ON LITERAL SUICIDE WATCH!
THIS DE LABELED MUTATION IS GREAT SINCE ITS NOT AS MEAN, BUT ITS STILL PRETTY MEAN :^)
Imagine getting to the point when putting a smart female in something is considered "woke"
You guys and the current state of discourse is fucking pathetic
Keep making yourself upset over a television show, retard.
To represent the many different scientists that existed in the real world because it simplifies the plot and reduces the cost because it's literally just a 5 episode mini series. They explained this at the end of episode 5, btw.
>forced sexual parity and ignoring competency
Yeah, that totally worked out for them in the end right?
incels are not complaining that the character was not a real person. they're complaining that it was a woman.
they literally said in the end sequence that she represents exactly this
there is a limit on how many characters can fit inside the viewer's head
imagine every 10 minutes a different scientist appearing on the screen
Also, why the fuck does it offend you? Are you one of those scientists? I doubt it.
Then why make the only invented female character a Mary Sue if it was simply for convenience?
She's an allegorical depiction of Mother Russia, brainlet
WILL THE BETA WHITEKNIGHTS FINALLY ACCEPT REALITY
THE ONLY REASON MAZIN CREATED THIS FICTIONAL SUPERWOMYN WAS FOR #HERTURN PROPAGANDA
ITS HBO
#YAAAAAAS
Came across this thread a remembered I found a film dealing with Chernobyl, I haven't seen it yet, it seems to be a Ukrainian take on it.
imagine getting this mad because a woman is on tv and because you cant get laid
>I want 50 characters that I have to follow, memorize, get attached to, and root for in the span of 5 hours
IMAGINE PROJECTING THIS HARD BECAUSE YOU CANT REFUTE FACTS
BETA WHITEKNIGHTS LMAO
HAVE SEX YA THIRSTY BITCH :^)
like cancer and whores, /pol/ likes to spread.
>hyper smart
1. she tells legasov that there was water in the tanks
2. she brings to light the reason the reactor exploded, which ended up being something legasov already knew but couldn't talk about
that's it. that's all she fucking did. aside from that all she managed to do was get caught by the KGB for not shutting her mouth and get legasov that he should also get jobbed by the KGB. you're massively overstating the mary-sueness of her.
>and get legasov
and tell legasov*
idiot, a collective can be a character too. Just have two or three talking heads and do some cinema work to make the viewer understand it was a bunch of people.
>t. never went to university
if you had gone, you would have met loads of females as smart as you if not smarter. also multiple female professors. I am talking about STEM btw
retarded idea that would’ve been much worse than just using a composite character
There were pretty much no other female characters besides her and Ignatenko’s wife, you need to relax
this user gets it
A STUDY OF Yea Forums SHOWS THIS IS THE MOST COMMON PEPE DURING THEIR SAMPLING PERIOD
BASICBITCH PEPE IE (You)
>THIS CHARACTER IS AN EYEROLLING INCLUSION PLAY PERPETUATING THE FEMALE PURITY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS CARICATURE WHICH IS A LAUGHABLE MEME TO BEGIN WITH
>BUT I'LL DEFEND IT ANYWAY WITH ALL MY GYMNASTICS CUS ITS #HERTURN TO SMASH THE PATRIARCHY AND THOSE Yea Forums SEXISTS CANT WIN EVEN WHEN THEIR CLEARLY RIGHT AND THE CREATOR EVEN ADMITS TO IT
LMAOING@U
IVY LEAGUE BBY
NO WO*MAN IS SMARTER THAN ME
THOTS ARE A MUCH BETTER PLAY, NICE N SIMPLE
YOU'LL LEARN
THATS EXACTLY WHY HE FELT COMPELLED TO MAKE THE CHARACTER FEMALE(AND HOLY OF COURSE)
MAKING IT A SELLOUT HACK MOVE, PRESSURED OR OTHERWISE
>ITS THE CURRENT YEAR! WE CANT HAVE A SAUSAGE FEST ON HBO!
EVEN IF ITS LITERALLY HOW IT HAPPENED IRL, BECAUSE MEN DO THE REAL THINGS AND WOMEN MAKE THE SANDWICHES :^)
>soviets come up with some low tier propaganda like "Look how equal we are under communism, these women are SCIENTISTS! Isn't Communist great!"
>decades later 80IQ redditors actually fall for it because they think wikipedia is a reliable source and start talking about how feminist the USSR was

why the fuck are they speaking english with british accents
