Godzilla Minus One: A pilot suffers guilt for surviving a Godzilla attack that killed many fellow soldiers at a remote island outpost. He returns to Tokyo after the war, to find his home destroyed. Attempting to rebuild his life, he is shocked to find a more powerful Godzilla is approaching to menace Japan. This one's excellent--highly recommended. (Netflix)

It made it to Netflix?  That's awesome, last I checked it wasn't available anywhere.

I'm absolutely NOT advocating for this, but it is the reality we have to face.

 

If Merchan sentenced Trump to prison, I would seriously, SERIOUSLY be concerned that he would be targeted for an extreme reprisal.  We hear the noise...but actually putting Trump in jail feels like the impetus to move things from just talk to action.

If we start giving corrupt politicians get-out-of-jail-free passes because of the threat of violence, then we've already lost.  It's a lot to expect of Merchan though.

Boom-Boom

It might still be an improvement, though.

If they were to bring back the Tostada, that would be worthy of such a ranking in the news cycle. That broke my heart, when they pulled that.

It's the chili cheese burrito for me.  Especially since I know some Taco Bells still have it, just not in my state.

Fortunately there's nothing on there I really care about.  I might have to have some celebratory Taco Bell now, in fact...

Theoretically so would the jail, no way he goes to gen pop.

I'm okay with putting him in solitary for the duration of his stay.

Best post on social I've seen so far: "Trump finally won a vote!"

Gonna bask in this sweet time between the guilty verdicts and the inevitable slap on the wrist/suspended sentence.

The Quacks of Quedlinburg

The first thing that springs to mind is... the herd of sheep that one party drove before them in Tomb of Horrors.  They're expendable and stupid and that's all they need to be.  There are also loose movie parallels, such as Escape From New York or Hunger Games.  Look at how easily people treat each other as subhumans, imagine how cruel they could be with actual nonhumans.

Alternatively, as you mentioned, there might be political reasons why people from another species/culture could succeed in an alien environment, specifically because of their cluelessness--like in Shogun, Dances With Wolves, or Last Samurai, in which the foreigner becomes a useful pawn in the struggle between warring factions.  This would be harder to GM, but not impossible.

Otherwise it's difficult to think of ways in which humans might be superior when Tolkien elves exist.  In my own setting elves are relatively frail, physically, and burned by iron, so if there were some kind of postapocalyptic Mad Max junkyard lying around they might want to outsource its exploration to some dumb expendable humans.
