But while there are many moments of whimsy, they're grace notes on a show that's unabashedly somber; if anything, the rich detail of the puppetry and production design paradoxically makes Age of Resistance's world feel even bleaker, and lends its moments of real horror an extra-disturbing sense of uncanny valley.

"Thank You For Your Service" --written and directed by "Sniper" scribe Jason Hall, and also inspired by a true story -- is a much bleaker account of military men returning home, starring Miles Teller and newcomer Beulah Koale as army infantrymen struggling to adjust while plagued by memories of what happened during their tours.

In fact, until a few years ago it seemed to me that we were seeing exactly that taking place for the world trading system, which was transitioning from largely benign U.S. hegemony to a comparably benign co-dominion by the U.S. and the E.U. At this point, however, things look a lot bleaker.

Even so, the week following the "Unite the Right" march has been a reminder that it is not 1950 anymore — the white nationalist fringe may have a friend in the White House, but ideas that once dominated national politics are increasingly marginal, isolated, and condemned today, and their future looks even bleaker.

Knowing he'll be out there in the world and that the writers could pull some reunion or drop some clever Easter egg hinting at his survival (even when they probably won't), has me feeling at least a little upbeat about the future, even if that future looks a lot bleaker without Rick at the center.

I feel like people who love fantasy and science fiction tend to be kind of earnest in their love, and if people are writing a 'literary' short story but it still feels not quite of them, there's something bleaker to me about that than someone who's writing a fantasy story that's not of them.

As unpalatable as Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad having a role in the country's future governance might be for some Western countries, when the US and Russia are in open dispute over Syria, the prospects for reaching a lasting political settlement become bleaker, and the regime may even feel emboldened to commit further atrocities.

Luxury handbag maker Michael Kors announced more than 100 store closures, apparel retailer Express posted a double-digit sales decline at its established stores, Payless ShoeSource said it would shutter even more locations than it planned and a Gymboree bankruptcy is seen as imminent — these, among other events — have painted a much bleaker picture of the industry.

The report is even bleaker when it comes to facility conditions: Children at the shelter complain about loud noises and a lack of privacy, and although most shelters often take the children for trips outside the perimeters for a change of scenery, most children at Homestead do not get to leave the facility unless they are heading to a medical appointment.

As the U.S. earnings season kicked off, weak results from railway transport company CSX Corp stoked concerns that the protracted trade standoff between the United States and China could hurt the profits of U.S. companies The outlook is seen even bleaker in Japan as companies struggle with the U.S.-China tariff war amid deteriorating global conditions that have dragged on its exports.

Whereas the reconciliationist narrative is a feel-good story for white America—the underlying message being that there are no deep differences in American society that can't be solved by white people finding common ground—the anti-racist narrative is bleaker but more clear-eyed, emphasizing that racism is deeply embedded in American society and can't be defeated without a fight.

This negotiation can also go terribly wrong: Nell Stevens's darkly funny memoir, "Bleaker House," recounts the six weeks she spent in one of the most remote parts of the Falkland Islands with the hopes of writing a novel, only to find herself watching "Eat Pray Love" over and over again and making lists of things she would Google if she could.

And the movie does capture the bleaker side of the web all the same, whether that simply involves Ralph seeing a bunch of comments making fun of him or going to visit the dark web, which promises all manner of salacious items for purchase, right down to a creepy, snake-like virus that looks a little like one of the robot squid critters from The Matrix.

But to believe that the aftermath of Lehman's collapse couldn't have been much bleaker with a more feckless and volatile president at the helm and a more hackish cast around him, that the Bush administration's response was the worst of all possible options rather than among the least-bad, requires ignoring a lot of very dark economic history that we were lucky not to actually revisit.

It was hard to balance the pride of his accomplishments -- helping steer the country away from a potential depression; securing health reform (something no president before him could accomplish) getting Osama bin Laden; and saving the domestic auto industry -- with bleaker realities that included a stubborn inequality, a controversial drone war that may have caused as much harm as it prevented, and racial imbalances that barely budged.

Still, things are different when you find out some fighter you admire has been laid low not by a stray punch or ill-advised pre-fight takedown or an unfortunate deep cut but by collapses of a nature far bleaker and more disheartening: by age and infirmity, those cruel inevitabilities that will make any mixed martial arts fan feel helpless and contemplative, even philosophical, in a way a flash knockout in the gym never could.
