You may have seen that scene in that awful TV series as corporate directors meet and conspire. They say that devastation will make a true monopoly out of them, removing all competitors, and they will launch the bombs themselves. They assume that killing all people on the surface will make a profit. They could easily say that customers won‘t finally stand between them and money as well. You think it’s just stupid screenwriters but then you look at what Sony is doing with Helldivers, ported games and PlayStation Network. It‘s the same level of stupidity. Humanity is lucky that Sony doesn‘t do bussiness in the arms industry, construction of atomic bombs and building bunkers. And I don’t think I overexaggerate much.
That scene in the last episode could also be the most striking reason why the series shouldn't be considered canon, no matter what the authors claim. Ironically, the show gives the impression of Chinese propaganda when you think about it. Good communists, evil capitalists, no China mentioned just to be sure. Good luck with reconciling it and the previous works.
