I honestly won't really miss it, we had that extraordinary first season and that's all we need, really... it was lightning in a bottle, and that's fine, it's great on its own
i liked season 2. 3 was bad but 4 started out good and then i fell off because fuck the weekly trickle.
Need money for more Gambo. We got HOTD and Jon Snow and we need a prequel to tell us the story of Hodor and how the faceless men began.
:yea:
It sucks so hard that thanks to Disney's Star Wars everything now needs a spin off series explaining every facet of the lore
even though i like Andor, Disney is about to be like "ok what happened BEFORE Andor?"
Yeah, I've heard Andor is actually good but I'm so burned out on Star Wars it'll probably be a while before I watch it
it feels less like a typical Star Wars film than usual. right now the "big bad" isnt some all powerful being, it's someone more realistic. not being a typical Star Wars film is good since it's related to Rogue One, my favorite SW film of the modern era.
Rogue One is worth the price of admission if only for the Vader corridor scene, it's probably my favorite moment in the whole Star Wars canon
yea it was great to see Vader as powerful as he should be and not just choking people.
That's cool, I liked Rogue One for having minimal space wizard shit but wasn't too bothered about the characters but if it's more of that maybe I'll bump it up my list
i really loved the ending. i didnt know what to expect but it certainly wasnt that.
I want a movie focused on Darth Vader taking a shit. I need to know how he did it. Maybe they can make a spinoff tv series!
HOTD is honestly only good because it's one of the last farts of fiction that Martin was able to squeeze out before he'll likely stop writing and just chill out on his pile of money (that or die cuss dude's blood could likely be used as popcorn butter).
Idk the books that hotd was based on was more of an outliner rather than a more detailed thing like the main books
Thing is it provided a whole outline and important key events and compared to GoT HBO knows not to murder a money cow again with poor writing direction and oversight (then again they also just tanked Westworld so who knows). HOTD is also literally just a play by play of the war of roses but with dragons and more incest.
great production value, great actors, but goddamn shit was way too convoluted. I feel like they brought in Aaron Paul just to give the audience someone to root for again, because every other character had become some robot's memory of an uploaded dream of a shadow in yet another "twist".
I'm no slouch. you can throw me some curve balls, but don't make it so it's only trick plays or else I get flashbacks to LOST.
Oh don't worry he's
spoiler
a robot's memory of an uploaded dream of a shadow in season 4 anyway
yeah, i know. when that happened i was like this
I think I'm the only person in the world who really liked this show, and was looking forward to the final season, but fuck me I guess.
Like seriously, I don't want to go to bad for it in depth here, but I feel like a lot of people were looking for something different than what they intended. It feels like a lot of the criticism boils down to "too convoluted" "muh timeline" and "I wanted more cowboy robots shooting people." A series which expanded the scope of the setting in every season, making it clear that it wouldn't be as simple as "just shoot all the rich people" when the humans can just carpet bomb their entire robo-species out of existence. A show which pretty much screams 'IDENTITY IS THE MAJOR THEME HERE, WE'RE GOING TO BE EXPLORING IDENTITY AND CHOICES AND HOW TRAUMA SHAPES US' in big glowing letters and people are like "but there's samurais now and I wanted cowboys" and it just frustrates the hell out of me that I can't find another person to connect with over this goddamn show, and I feel like such a fucking weirdo for loving it so much.
buddy I'm right there with you. I absolutely love the direction they took, not just killer robots tho that is fun but like what is consciousness, what does it mean to be aware etc. Unfortunately deeply philosophical Sci fi is just too niche for this world I guess
people are all like "but now it's a dream of a simulation of a robot" and I'm all "dude they make the point multiple times every season that it doesn't matter what iteration of the character this is, we're following their development along a specific emotional arc meant to make a philosophical point" and I feel like a pretentious douchebag saying it but this show has so many fucking good moments
They have a bit of a pretentious tone because they're going for mythical, characters are allegorical, fuck's sake William gives a speech that could be lifted from a black metal album in season 3 where he basically says "I am nihilism, I represent the toxicity of a 'fuck everything' world view and will destroy everything in a hollow pursuit of making some point that is inherently unsatisfying". It's artsy-fartsy and has a stark, austere aesthetic, and frankly the music and ambience in the series is fucking incredible. Love me some goddamn twinkly synthwave shit
You just don't get it, maaaaaaaaaaaaaan :hipster:
i saw people complaining about japan world or whatever who have obviously not seen the movie.
I didn't care much for S3 but I got back on board with S4. S1 was just incredible, though. Like others here have said, I really like the themes of identity, reality, free will, etc.
This fucking show. It's source material is about a theme park full of robots that go crazy and kill the guests. That's sick! fertile ground for a show! so how do they adapt it? The entire first season is buildup and exposition, culminating in the beginning of a terrible event in which a soiree of bougie investors is slaughtered by robots. And then the second season begins with the actual robot slaughter already in the past!
WOW DO I LOVE TIME JUMPS!
Time to piece together a timeline that convolutes a story rather than adds complexity, and pretend it's a puzzle that people can feel smug about understanding. I just want to see oppressed robots murder the feckless rich!
Also it completely passes over a global revolution when the world finds out a bunch of technerds and rich people were using a algorithm to fuck with people's lives.
JJ abrams and everyone around him is a cancer on entertainment media. the good parts of ww are in spite of whatever influence he and bad robot had on the show.
One of the few shows I regret watching after the first season, hope they do better stuff in the future
:gigachad: I thought s1 had a good enough ending and stopped there
I blame the Discovery merger, this show had too many black characters for them
Fouth? I thought there were only two.
also, I heard a rumor that they rewrote season two after some redditors guessed the plot from foreshadowing... which... if that's the case... no! If your audience is invested enough to pay attention to foreshadowing, that's a good thing! Don't punish them for it, and certainly don't make all the work writing the setup obsolete.
That first season with Aaron Paul was so bad but at least they played a death grips song.
Don't worry lads, they're going to announce they are, instead, making a series based on Futureworld!
next they'll literally strip the copper wiring for short term profit.
did people really keep watching this after s2? lol
Death to America
