It’s a fun show but after two years of “oh finally a good Superhero show from CW not like all the stupid shitty Arrowverse shows!” to watch it and find exactly the same shit you’d expect from Arrow or Flash was a little surprising. Did all these people who hate Flash and Arrow but love Superman and Lois actually watch Flash and Arrow, or did they just let the internet tell them they hated it?

> Second, the Assassin's Creed series is known for its historical settings
Which is why it would make a terrible tv show. The movie, with an actual budget, it set almost entirely in modern times because all the animus scenes look like hot garbage. I can’t imagine a show would get anywhere near that kinda money. It’d be even fewer, even more claustrophobic sets than Rome, expect they built the sets on Rome assuming they’d be used for multiple seasons, these sets would be built assuming they’re all getting torn down for season 2.

Reply to comment by hooch in TV shows with similar premises where one show is much better than the other by mranimal2
I powered through a whole season of Babylon 5 before I had to accept that I just hate it. Hate it so much. Everyone is so gross and mean and it all looks so crummy. There’s an episode with a Soul Stealer and everyone on board acts genuinely concerned that there’s a Soul Stealer on board and that almost ended it for me, but I kept going. Only to learn that the reason the bone crown people were so obsessed with humans is because the bone crown people discovered bone crown souls were being reincarnated into human bodies and holy shit that’s actually the resolution to the season long mystery they'd been teasing, reincarnated souls!

I was too young to have seen Wargames or Tron as a kid so he’s first and foremost the TGRI scientist that made Toka And Razor in my brain.

Get the audio of Jonathan Katz going “Uh-huh” “yeah” and “how do you feel about that?” play it over any stand up bit and have your own personal Dr Katz reboot.

My favorite is when they, with like six episodes remaining in the series, decide that Jackie is in love with Fez and they try to jam a whole season’s worth of “will they won’t they” in to those six episodes. At the beginning of one episode she won’t even acknowledge her feelings for Fez, by the end of the next episode she’s saying “I’ve wanted this for so long!” Fantastic writing guys.

No one is ever happy. It’s like misery porn. For five seconds they manage to pull themselves out of the muck and make enough money to pay their power bill or some depressing shit and then someone runs away or has a miscarriage or gets deported.
Plus it’s not just about rednecks, it’s for rednecks. I thought at first it was a show where we laughed at backwards morons who thought that Obama was a socialist, but we’re laughing with the backwards morons about how much of a socialist Obama is. Gross.

The season before that is also kind poo. Not to the extent that the final season took a massive nosedive, but everything after Donna turned blonde is kinda not good.

Reply to comment by croninsiglos in The Super Mario Bros Blue Ray should have an optional audio track where Charles Martines speaks Mario by joystick355
Yeah I don’t give a shit if Charles whoever voices Mario, I give a shit that voice coming out of Mario isn’t fucking awful. And I feel this Chris Pratt voice is fucking awful. Literally anyone doing a better voice would be acceptable. Even Chris Pratt doing a different voice would be better than this.

It was too much House for me. I already watched a bazillion seasons of House, I didn’t need House Except He’s Got a Doctor’s Note to explain why he’s sometimes an asshole.
Plus “he’s a brilliant surgeon but he can’t be trusted to speak to patients” describes most surgeons. Just make sure someone is in the room to translate from autistic surgeon speak to patient speak and back. This is much less of a problem than the show insists it is.

It depends on the movie. You can’t do the T-1000 without CG. You cannot. You might get close with stop motion which looks one million times worse, but even then there’s stuff that just wouldn’t work.
I don’t see the difference, personally. You can have CG that’s clearly not real or you can have props and stop motion that’s clearly not real. On Mandalorian CG Luke Skywalker looks fucking fake, but animatronic puppet Kuill also looks fucking fake. We just have to accept the fake looking things one way or the other.

Reply to comment by Neo2199 in Can '1899' Step Out From the Shadow of 'Dark'? by Neo2199
“I called it first” is a nice moral high ground to stand on, but 1883 came out first, 1923 has already been announced, and audiences are fucking dumb.
meowskywalker t1_iy4aboc wrote
If I knew there was an incredibly popular series on television that chose to name its spin-offs with years like “1883” and “1923” I think I might come up with a new name for my new show so as to avoid confusion.

I truly do not understand this meme. How many times do you need to post about a mediocre sitcom starring budget-Fonzie? Is it supposed to be funny? Who’s laughing at this?

Or they could just cancel it because who the fuck watches late night tv? Is 10 minutes of shitty stand up followed by 50 minutes of product placement still a thing people are watching?

Reply to Would you disagree if I said that the, "the Lord of the Rings" films may just be some of the greatest films ever made? Are they ever going to become widely recognized as such? by Iloveindianajones
What world do you live in? While I have to give you credit for not using the word “underrated” this is the same “does anyone else think [beloved film] is underrated?” post again. Of course everyone thinks Lord of the Rings is amazing. They didn’t stretch the hobbit out to three films and then spend three quarters of a billion dollars on a television prequel because people don’t like this series.

Reply to In The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020), Phoebe (Jenna Ortega) says Terminator 2 is one of four sequels that supersede the original. What are the other three? by solidddd
Terminator 2 and Aliens are different enough from the originals that it seems pointless to compare the two. If you wanted another horror movie, Aliens is horrible. If you wanted Action, obviously Aliens is a million times better than Alien.
People also love to list Godfather but I don’t get it. The stuff with Robert Deniro In Godfather 2 is awesome, but I hate Michael’s whole story, and Michael’s story is most of the movie. Watching him slowly transform from the guy who didn’t want to be his dad to being a “better” version of his dad is cool, watching him just be a mobster for a while is boring.

The only time I think it’s a little bit fair when they take something you love and turn it in to another one of these shows. it’s like “Hey, you love Neil Gaiman right? I heard they’re doing a show based on his comics.” Yes yes yes! “It’s a police procedural where Lucifer helps the cops catch people.” Oh no. That’s not what I wanna hear at all. I’m not angry another police procedural, I’m angry THAT is a police procedural.

Reply to What is going on with Rotten Tomatoes Rings of Power page? They show 466 critic reviews and yet only link one? Never seen this before by Bluest_waters
It’s either a massive conspiracy to hide the fact that rottentomatoes was bribed into making it look like the show got a bunch of good reviews when really everyone hated it, or a weird HTML error.

Reply to comment by TheSeventhAnimorph in [Discussion] Anyone else struggles with following shows because of the increasingly longer breaks between seasons? by IBoris
None of them ever provide enough info unless you’ve already seen old episodes. Plus, like, Lord of the Rings has a previously on every episode even though it’s streaming and all the old episodes are available to watch at all times. But they released it weekly so they couldn’t trust people to remember the old episodes even over the course of 8 weeks. No, 7 weeks, because they put the first two out on one week, right?

Reply to So if I pay $15 a month for Amazon Prime, and Amazon owns MGM. Why are they trying to get me to pay $6 a month for MGM+? by MetroStephen53
This is that “why should I have to pay for DLC when it should be ‘part of the game’?” logic. If you don’t think they provide enough content for the purchase price, don’t pay that purchase price. But they don’t magically owe you all content they’ve ever produced or own for one price just because you want it.
