Now
that the United States and Europe have lost the war in Afghanistan (just like
the Soviet Union and the British Empire before them) - and have had to withdraw
with their tails between their legs from Afghanistan and Iraq - they need the
reassurance that they possess superheroes and people with extraordinary powers who
can solve all problems and conquer all enemies.
But
more than that they also need to reassure the public that death is not final -
that their dead are still living, that they will meet them again - as zombies
or as resurrected family members they can speak to, if only for a brief period
until things have been amicably settled between the restless dead in the
inbetween world and the regrets of the living - so that all can then rest in
peace.
Thus
the plethora of movies and programmes
about the dead speaking or coming back to life:
The
Ghost Whisperer Resurrection
The Walking Dead
iZombie
Supernatural
Forever
And
then there are the impossible resurrections of characters in virtually every tv programme,
from "O my God, they've killed
Kenny" on South Park to Brian on
Family Guy; from
The Arrow (Oliver himself, Thea's father and then Thea herself), to Agents Of Shield (Skye and of course Coulson); to just about
everybody in Resurrection.
Medically, a person in a coma is in a
state of unconsciousness in which the patient cannot respond to painful stimuli,
light, sound or commands. So, it is
wishful thinking that people in a coma can hear you; and even more ridiculous
that the dead can hear you when you visit their grave - but these are images
that are constantly exploited and churned out by Hollywood.
The concept of
zombies arises from Papua New Guinea and the regional islands: referring to
those who were drugged by traditional healers with specific herbs into a deep
sleep of suspended animation, so that they appeared dead - and so were brought
back to life.
Then there are the super powers of
deduction that so many of the American investigators have: from The Mentalist to Unforgettable (which was completely forgettable); to a host of other
programmes and movies.
And simultaneously there is the
resurrection of all the north American heroes who never die, who will conquer
all aliens and enemies - so the exhumation of all the Marvel comics:
The Avengers Superman
Batman
Iron Man
Agents Of Shield
Agent Carter
Iron Man
The Hulk
The Flash
and even Ant-man.
Almost all the crime programmes are
exaggerated (each murder that is discovered more bizarre than the last); so
many of the series based on fantasy and science fiction (from Extant to Under The Dome); most of the movies utilizing ridiculously fast-moving
images generated by computer graphics - so that there is hardly a programme
dealing with realistic human relationships.
