This series started as an [adultswim] short called Scavengers. “Reign” was added afterward to make it distinct from what was effectively the pilot, which had a more minimalist approach but featured the same themes that were featured throughout the series.

Loved both. Definitely recommend the Scavengers pilot AFTER the main series Scavengers Reign though.

I’m in agreement with you btw lol I think the names dumb, wanting to keep the master race title is the dumb hill to die on.

That doesn’t remove the connotation for larger audiences. A layman will never know those details and will read master race as being about race. The social context and history are irrelevant, it’s genuinely a dumb hill to die on.
