A segment from Legends of Tomorrow sums up Blue Pill for me (spoiler)

[IGMOW (I Go My Own Way)Participant 2572]

I don’t have TV, but I get stuff on the Internet. I was curious how the new Legends of Tomorrow show was, so I watched the first episode online. In it, there was this segment in it that summed up what Blue Pill is, as I see it. Warning, spoiler here, but it is needed to explain.

So, you have the Time Masters (I hope I have that right) who are guardians of the timeline. They pretty much have a code of not getting involved with women at all. You are not to have a woman, and kids, because it will distract from the task of protecting the timeline.

Well, here is Rip Hunter, who goes Blue Pill. He gets a woman, falls in love, and has a kid. The timeline kills his family, so he leaves the Time Masters to go save humanity, or something or other. That, to me is Blue Pill. You will allow your thoughts to become clouded in “the name of love” from doing what is best. Did Rip giving a flying iota that humanity got taken over by Vandal Savage in the future, without the falling in love? No. He only cares because he loses his family. In the show, there is other Blue Pill stuff, with the Hawks also, and how they keep reincarnating and are meant to be with one another, and so on.

Anyhow, that is as I see it. The show had a segment which showed Blue Pill to me, which was worth noting. I would say go and track it down. Whether you continue to watch is another thing. I don’t care either way. And I didn’t see the show as a recruitment to get MGTOW back on the plantation either, so I don’t see a ban called for, just this was interesting I saw that in it.

I wouldn’t really call it Blue Pill. Rip Hunter fell in love and had a child. Yes women are a pain in the ass, but falling in love with a woman you are attracted to is normal human behavior as well as reproduction. It is just like in Star Wars, Jedi couldn’t love yet Anakin did and that is what led to the fall of the Republic and rise of the Empire. I would argue Rip does want to fix the time line, but saving his family is most important to him.

As for Hawkman and Hawkwoman the fact they find each other in every life is taken from the comics. I wouldn’t say that is blue pill either as it isn’t like Carter is a beta male or anything.
