God damn, that last revelation in the From finale gave me chills. It reminded me of the

Flash forward in Lost’s season 3 finale. 

This is definitely the spiritual successor to Lost. 

 

oh damn i didn't know it was out.

[Twinblade★ 3,929]

@-GD-XWow at that From ending. Definitely didn't predict any of that.

[madmaltese★ 2,587]

Alright watched all of Black Mirror and that was by leagues the worst season of the bunch. Interest at near zero if that is the future direction the show will go in. 

Best ep was ep2 imo but even that wasn't really Black Mirrory.

My favorite is Joan is Awful. But yeah, I can see one being disappointed with the show’s new direction.

I like that plot mechanic 

 

Spoiler

Tabitha will end up investigating things from outside the town and figure out how to return and get her family back. I think that will add an interesting new dynamic.

Same, which made watching the eps after it all the more aweful, I had high expectations that they would be as good as the first

So, do you think it would be worth watching Lost for someone unfamiliar with that show? I think I watched most of the first season and bits of the 2nd, but that was a looooooooooong time ago, and I don't remember anything so it would basically be like going in fresh.

 

I see that its a whopping 121 episodes so It would definitely be a hell of a binge.

Fuck yeah! The journey is definitely better than the destination, but god damn, what an incredible journey! I’ve seen the whole series like 5 times.

So the Flash sh was kind of enjoyable. A complete mess of course. The opening scene was so bad that I felt bad for them. Like Xmen did the Quicksilver scenes way better like ten years ago and with better special effects. 

 

You can tell they bolted this thing together but the movie picks up with Batman and Supergirl. Both actually play bigger parts than I expected and I really liked them. It was nice seeing Keaton's Batman getting a modern layer of polish. It's actually some of the best Batman choreography and it's what people wanted with Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. They absolutely did his Batman justice in the movie. It would have made more sense to follow Snyder's plan of a dark Batman played by Jeffery Dean Morgan, Keaton Batman delivered where Spiderman 3 just used a flimsy multiverse plot to bring back Mcguire. 

 

Supergirl is totally hot, angry, but not that unbearable strong female type. They kind of rushed her arch a bit for time but I hope they keep this version of the character. They wove her in to an alternative version of Man of Steel and it did work for me. Even the fighting is 

 

They did a clever thing by pairing the older and younger flash. You get a lot of efficient character development as he learns how difficult he can be how he comes off to everyone else. The end just fizzles out. Overall, it's ugly, has bad special effects but is mostly enjoyable. Definitely better than all of current wave of Marvel stuff outside of Spiderverse.

@-GD-XYou might like The Devil's Hour on Amazon Prime. Im on ep3, and while its a slow burn it has a strong 'the fuck is going on' type of vibe similar to mystery shows like From/Lost.

Watched Extraction, the first movie, this past weekend while sucking down Margs late at night. Definitely a sickly produced movie.

 

It makes me believe that you could make a tv show out of the recent COD Modern Warfare games.

Oh yeah, major Lost vibes! It’s the first true spiritual successor to Lost.

I think it was it was its own thing. From feels like a horror Lost. Hell, the season 2 finale gave me the same chills I got from the season 3 Lost finale. 

[jehurey 3,238]

Boy was that Flash movie quite a mess. But I wouldn't say that it was a boring mess. And I would say that there's some novelty in making a movie about a multi-verse and truly showing that it would be a complete mess that would be almost impossible to have a tidy ending.

 

Its also crazy how that whole story behind Warner Bros. completely cancelling the Batgirl movie resulted in this movie having to change or throw out alot of shit at the end, and be re-shot.

 

And, they just made it quite clear that this movie is a complete one-off non-canonical thing that isn't meant to be taken seriously.

 

I can see what they were trying to go for with that opening scene, but it probably needed a director as clever as James Gunn or Edgar Wright to pull of something that crazy and darkly comedic. Instead it was just messy, but somewhat funny and crazy.
