Leverage was kinda like this but they didn’t kill them
They already made one. His catchphrase was “You have failed this city”.
Right, and that will happen because TV shows aren’t produced by billionaire-owned media corporations.
But Cops is currently on it’s 37th season.
You’re making a show about killing money men. Good luck convincing the money men to fund it. And that’s how it works.
Otoh, making video is pretty cheap these days.
Neo Ranga is an old anime about how the Yakuza fund politicians. Guess what else the Yakuza fund? You could tell that anime had no budget.
Even if you did find some way to fund and produce it, what corporate media empire is going to allow it on their network where more than a handful of people would ever see it?
I mean, I get it, I feel the same sometimes. It’s just much better to strip them of their assets and dump em all on epstein island with a survival package including guide.
Let them learn how to survive for real instead. Much better punishment.
(I mean, look at Australia, those guys became pretty awesome. Not perfect, but hey… We’re all human.)
Put it on Amazon Prime! With ads!
… as a TV show, right? Right?
Based on true events?
I’d prefer a documentary series.
The Luigi Files: Part 1

Or whatever his name is.
in minecraft that is
Yes, nobody would be that insane to think otherwise…maybe even a reality TV show type of deal would be cool.
“Coming this fall: ten billionaires are locked in a house with a murderous psychopath. Who will be the first victim, and who make it to the end? Use your phone to vote each week on what weapons the murderer will have access to! Introducing: Bigger Brother! Only on cable!”
So it would be 10 sociopath against 1 murderous psychopath? Whatever the end result would be, it sounds like a win!
I’d watch it.
Or we could free Luigi, and get the real thing!
Current world record holder on the highscore
Luigis Mansion: A TV show about a mansion filled with kidnapped billionaires. Sprinkle some inspiration from the Saw movies on top, and we’ve got a hit.
That’s a good idea for a ‘dystopian’ thriller book
I’d fuckin watch that.
This is why I now advocate for a Mamdani/Mangione 2028 presidential ticket.
I know he can’t run for president right now but, maybe we can break the rules for the benefit of the people some day.
We may need to rewrite the constitution before this is all over anyway.
This would go so hard
I mean…yes?
I’d vote for that.
And also title the show “Luigi”
First 2 seasons of Arrow were like this. But yes I would watch the shit out of it. Make it a law and order style straight from the headlines and make the rich people resemble real life rich people.
Oh, a TV show. I thought you meant for real. Also, isn’t ’evil rich’ kind of redundant?
The news is on TV im not very picky
The first 2 seasons of Arrow were so damn good.
'You failed this city!"
I honestly wouldn’t. Not because I disagree with the concept, but because more on-point escapist media would just ensure that people will get their revolutionary fix without ever leaving the couch. We don’t need that. We need people to be angry, to be fed up, to have no other escape than to fight for it.
Capitalism has done wonders at keeping us sedated by selling us our fantasies of change and better days. It’s time we stopped taking those meds.
Actions speak louder than words, and all the shows follow is a script. Reality is much more interesting than anything Netflix or Amazon can show us.
Let’s make it even more interesting, then!
I think being angry enough to kill someone may be the top.
And I think Luigi would have done nothing had he stayed submerged in escapism, is my point.
But he didn’t do anything. Luigi and the guy in the security camera look nothing alike.
Luigi was at my house playing Xbox all day that day.
Call him Luigi
Mr robot came close i suppose.
Honestly it has a lot of anti-late-stage-capitalism ideas but the core of the show isn’t even really about that. It’s a very good show, I’d recommend it to anyone.
Like a gritty modern Robin Hood?
My thoughts exactly. Robin Hood, but he actually shoots those arrows at a good target.
Ya, like any major media company would go anywhere near that. Great idea though. It would get dynamite ratings.
It would though, and that was why Luigi was such a danger to them. Ultimately they will keep writing stories that people keep clicking on and or reading. Even during Trump’s initial run for president there were journalists to express that they love the fact that Trump was running because people would always read the articles about him. He was sensational.
Then the day came where Luigi committed justified self-defense on a public New York street. I bet there are more journalists that would rather be printing non-stop stories about Luigi because people would rather read them, as opposed to some dumb shit Trump is doing.
So don’t pitch it to a major media company. YouTube stars are born every day.
You mean a hero? That goes around defeating evil who would rather spend billions to ruin humanity instead of millions to improve it?
I think the word your looking for is hero
