I rewatched The Martian and totally forgot how optimistic this movie is about technology, America, and international relations sadness-abysmal

when this movie came out in 2015 my little liberal ass loved it. i still believed in a future.

we dont even have bazinga mars nerds anymore just different flavors of "i wont eat the bugs" all clawing at each other to climb out of a pit rapidly filling with water

It was a little similar in For All Mankind, where the USSR doesn't collapse (because they got the moon landing first - it's a space show so whatever, sure) and the "space race" continues to spur impressive feats.

But it very, very, quickly libs out and stops imagining this leading to a better future, just better technology - and almost all of the American cast are fucking awful liabilities.

I gave up on that after the 4th episode. Friends recommended it because I would like it. I’m assuming because the USSR still exists in the show but the POV of the show is just Americans the entire time

Doesn't FAM actually put in some effort to divert the USSR's fate (w/r/t Andropov actually doing everything right before handing it to Gorby)? Or was I just reading someone's headcanon?
