At the end of season 2 of Reacher, they have stuff like an engineer and a pilot who are clearly not in control of things and just being ordered around, presumably with threats to their families like others have been shown in getting. Reacher made sure to kill those two as well.

Freaking Aquaman 2 did this better. How sad is that?

Switched to this after heard the guy from “Reacher” make some brainless virtue signaling comments. Reacher was the typical badass beats everyone up, ug, ug. This show has nuance and is gripping (though a pretty obvious knockoff of Breaking Bad). Looking forward to the remaining episodes!

Because of the context, I don’t think it’s meant to be taken seriously or act as a genuine condemnation of the church.

I have a different idea. I wouldn’t say it’s “okay” to call a priest a pedophile (assuming you’re only joking and not accusing or slandering), but I do understand why people would make jokes about it. A priest is someone who is occupationally held to a high moral standard, so calling a priest a pedophile would imply hypocrisy (and imply that pedophilia is morally unacceptable, too). Irony makes hypocrisy humorous.

A similar joke would be if an environmental group staged a large benefit concert in a local park to promote environmental awareness, and the whole park was left completely trashed the next day because nobody who attended the concert thought about picking up after themselves. It’s hypocritical, ironic, and viewers who recognize the irony would find it amusing if they didn’t feel sorry for the trashed public park.

The way I figure it, it’s rarity and percentages. Like, we mock clowns for being creepy murderers even though less than 1% of clowns actually fit the description of murderer. If there was a high percentage of clowns murdering people, calling clowns murderers wouldn’t be funny anymore.

Similarly, we know that priests doing such evil things is likewise extremely rare.
