Killing off most of the main characters right after developing them enough to the point that you care about them, and then introducing a whole new cast. I feel like only the japanese are the ones ballsy enough to do that kind of thing. Yup! They take risks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I almost didn't even wanna watch the last 5 eps of the season, cuz I was like, "whut?? lol. the entire 26 eps 2 seasons I just invested into this thing, has all been completely and entirely replaced, to a new arch. wait a minute. huh?" lol it was cool tho. this show and a couple others are really harping off death notes braniac type shit. audience members like it. actually in ep 2, I thought "they should really look at their surroundings before entering the game." sure enough, the bus was labeled GOAL. I think (I know) the directors shoot scenes like this oh purpose, to allow viewers who want that experience to -- with difficulty -- figure things out for themselves. shit is dope. I paused so many times in ep 8 trying to figure out who the witch would be. lol. I think I sorta guessed it once, but I switched like 4+ times anyways it doesn't count lfmao. good shit. overhyped by now but I hope Ike enjoys it too.

Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The Undoing was decent, but ends too abruptly and doesn't really flesh out its characters to the extent that it should. 7/10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Impossible 407 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Started this show during qurantine before getting hooked on Search Party. The first 3 eps I saw were good. Looking back this kind of the vibe from Alice in Borderland slightly mixed with the human element of Walking Dead. Basically it's a plane that gets hijacked and they have to keep the plane perpetually in the sundown regions of the world. It's definitely a more grounded type of show and they have to deal with shit like refueling and figuring out their timing to avoid the sun. Half the people are shady, shit goes down.

Spoiler Elena was a paper thin character overall. She comes off as very mysterious and slight eccentric but after the first episode (when shes murdered) the show makes no effort to flesh her out in any way, besides some vague references to her artistry and potential mental illness. Her death becomes way less impactful especially when compared to the victims in something like The Killing, who you end up learning and discovering so much about. John was also not that great. In the 2nd half when it becomes increasingly obvious that he might have done it, they touch on events in his past (getting his sister killed and falling out with his family) but do nothing with it. Even just a few flashbacks to him as a kid that establish his inability to be emphatictic or care would have been very effective. It felt like a shallower version of The Night Of overall.

z,warrior 155 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 What are some new anime movies I need to check out? I haven't been watching anime since 2013 (safe for netflix's devil man crybaby which I loved). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Snowpiercer s2 trailer. Starts on the 25th Really looking forward to this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Into the Night was pretty good The core concept is silly and you really need to approach it with a open mind, but it moves well and is filled a lot of good moments. Really short though (especially since the eps are only ~35 minutes long), so hopefully the 2nd season (already confirmed) is longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,889 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Watched Promising Young Woman WOW....That was a hell of a movie. I can't recommend it enough. Don't even look up anything beforehand, just watch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cooke 2,026 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Ok wtf is WandaVision trying to be? A 60's sitcom? Pleasantville? Edited January 18, 2021 by Cooke (not admin cant help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,906 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 16 hours ago, Cooke (not admin cant help said: Ok wtf is WandaVision trying to be? A 60's sitcom? Pleasantville? It's meant to be a tribute to old sitcoms. Every new episode is gonna be a different decade. It's essentially Wanda going crazy and creating her own reality because she still hasn't fully processed Vision's death. She had a comic book line similar to this where she created mutants. That's where most people theorize this is going to introduce the X-Men and mutants to the MCU. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,906 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'm caught up on the 3 episodes of 30 Coins they have on HBO Max. Been pretty great and gory. Seems like an "occurrence" of the week type show where something different paranormal thing happens and the Kratos-looking priest helps the protags. The overarching story involves the vatican and the 30 pieces of silver Judas was given for betraying Jesus. There's apparently some evil sect in the Vatican in Rome. It's decently scary and has some good gore. I'm enjoying it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Impossible 407 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I tried to watch Wandavision and it's fucking terrible. Like you get where it's going right off the bat, the problem is that shit isn't funny or weird. Getting that they are doing a satire of bewitched doesn't make the purposely bad jokes and acting any more enjoyable for entire episodes. Now Legion...thats some good trippy shit.
