>lois and her book club loiter and get chased by pigs, malcolm and stevie mess around the town and flashback to lois being pregnant >i loved how much that show used the word pig to describe cops unironically (that episode where reese decides to become a policeman and says "mom, dad, i've decided to grow up and be a pig! LOL)Lois is based and I've seen many people on the internet with the most retarded takes on her. That because she's authoritarian and screams a lot, she's a "sociopath" or a "psychopath" and hates her children. But if you're not a dumbass you'll realize as you grow up that she's doing her best to raise them into decent people, as decent as they can be, despite her horrendous upbringing. She's able to overcome that out of her love for her boys (and maybe also resentment towards her own mother).

No.16494
>>16342Hey friend! Yes I did watch the first episode, though I'm considering a rewatch. Anyhow to address you're and general points. I'm not sure we're supposed to like the TVA. For that matter Loki wasnt really supposed to be likeable until about Thor Ragnarok. About the erasing. I suspect maybe they're not straight killing people they don't like but perhaps resetting them to their OG timeline. Also, they did a bad job of addressing the Avengers transgressions. They mentioned the Avengers were supposed to have time traveled. Also, a friend told me since they put their infinity stones back, thus ensuring the proper flow of time they broke no time laws. About Loki and destiny etc, I like that the show is like loosely tackling the subjectivity of moral quandaries. But, personally I'm hoping these renegade Lokis aren't actually Loki's and maybe like Mephisto or something.

It rejects the individualistic, selfish Lokis and promotes the Loki to become a communal member and learn to trust and help each other.

The show is about change and how it is never too late to change your ways and evolve and that everybody deserves a chance to do so. I can't remember the last MCU media that had such a lefty message.

Also I'm the same annon that said
I wasn't sure pruned=death. So, called it. As for Kang he's the only logical orchestrator of this all.

I seem to remember some disney guy somewhere saying the Defenders would show up in the Avengers movies. I guess they thought GOTG was more important. Oh well maybe the Defenders or something similar will get rebooted on hulu or D+ or something.

No.18756
>>18749>>18753In that specific case, there were a collection of archived CN Flash games that had all their main assets (game files like code and images) self-contained, but a few were unable to launch. Sometimes they're site-locked (which is why BlueMaxima's Flashpoint has a fake browser included, to trick certain games into thinking they're at home) but this one was just not working. It loaded the loading screen and instructions, but then pressing 'start' did nothing.
When you have compiled code, you can decompile it, a process called reverse engineering. This is how game/software piracy is usually done, decoding part of the binary program back into comprehendable code (manually or automatically) and modifying it. Luckily for me, there are a lot of decent open-source decompiler programs for Flash .sfws so instead of literally messing with 1s and 0s, it will translate the file it into a readable code and show you each of the buttons, images, sounds, frames, with its scripts, animations, etc. You just lose all the comments (and in many cases, meaningful variable names), so "playerHeight = currentHeight + yVelocity" becomes "var1 = var5 + var7", but there are ways you can deduce the purpose of those mystery variables. Like if it checks if var1 < 1 to see if it triggers the "You Lose" animation, var1 is probably the number of lives left. It's like sudoku, the more gaps you complete, the easier it becomes to find the rest (unless you got them wrong). Fortunately, I think Flash games preserve some of the variable names, which made it much easier.
After tracing where the path the code takes after pressing start, it turns out the game was expecting to load an XML file with basic settings (time limit, lives, how many levels there were, is the character dead), but when you clicked start without it, these settings were unknown and the game wouldn't proceed. I just hardcoded some sane default settings (like not being dead when you start the game) and it worked without any issues.
In most real cases, it's harder than this. I've met people who reverse engineer ransomware to see if there are any mistakes in it that can be used to stop it, or to try and discover which group made it. At that stage, you might even find counter-forensic techniques trying to hinder reverse engineering.

just watched squid game on netflix. people in debt need money and rich porkies make them play children's game, except you die when you lose. one interesting twist is that the players can vote to stop the game if they vote majority, but it nulls all the billions of money they could get. in the first episode they successfully vote to leave the game after seeing the horrors. however, because theyre all so deep in debt, they return to their game of their own "free will". there's subtle copaganda, especially in the ending where the main antagonist tries to show the protagonist that nobody will help the homeless dude on the street, and at the last minute a cop shows up to help. funnily enough, i thought they were gonna arrest the homeless dude in a twist, but it's implied they "help" the homeless person. it's a weird ending especially when it shows the participants learning to value this morality through their own experiences after witnessing the violence they must do for the sake of money but overall it's a show that wants to prove that people will do the right thing.
No.20054
>>20044I finished watching it too, I considered it a bit classpilled because as you say
the people that designed and keep that fucked up game are extremely rich porkies that just want to make poor people suffer for pure fun, literally because they're bored and they see poor people like cattle or more precisely horses that they can bet on, it's also heavily implied that those porkies are actually the guys the game participants are in debt to, as in they make people poor and indebted on purpose to get participants for the gameIt's also interesting to know that
there were very defined and clear hierachies among the employees, as in lower rank soldiers can't even talk without the permission of their superior, it's a literal class pyramid with the VIP porkies on top.they were able to mantain the game running and with employees willing to kill people using pure economic power No.20071
>>20054also idk if it was unintentional or not but that the fate of the pakistani immigrant worker who spoke korean

>>21253Its been a while since I've watched it but it didnt make much sense to me. I liked when he
killed the pimp, I guess this made him feel like he could be a vigilante and save America from corruption or something.
Also the whole premise is totally inaccurate. White people never drove taxis
No.21255
>>21254Oh wait, that was the end of movie.
First he attempted to
assassinate a politician, considering he was a Vietnam vet who did the whole
"Mohawk suicide mission" bit and just ran away probably says something about traditional masculinity or something. The
pimp shootout was like his second plan, wasnt well thought out, and everyone clapped and loved him. If he had went through with his previous plans, he would have a bigger impact on the world as a whole, but would be lampooned by the media and thrown to wolves in prison.
Something about masculinity as a veneer and means to an end to his inner fantasies of being accepted by people he doesnt even know.
Scorsese is very familiar with themes of masculinity, I should probably watch it again
No.21259

Where I think they did go over the top is having him straight up execute people. That's a pretty grim choice for a hero, especially since they're not trying to play it that way. It's just like "of course the hero of our story would execute a man he has captive!" "What's dark about that?"

No.21927
>>21924>What's so good about those shows? I watched peaky blinders for 10 minutes and it wasn't really interestingI'm personally fascinated by the early to mid 20th century so shows like this automatically peak my interest but they need to be actually interesting. Not just "woah, look, Nazis!" stuff you know? With that being said
>Babylon BerlinBB takes place in the 20s after the war ended in Weimar Germany. The different elements from the Reds to Conservatives is great and seeing the decadence in society and the turning point in the world is very good. It's actually a hybrid of Cop/Political/Gang/Mystery/Thriller(Peaky Blinders as well) all in one. The main char suffers from PTSD and some wild shit goes on that deals with that. IRL famous name drops such as Einstein and Dostoevsky are in the show and shit like that is sick. It's production value is also insane, from the music to the actual show. I'd say this one is quicker to get into compared to Peaky Blinders
>Peaky Blinders> I watched peaky blinders for 10 minutes and it wasn't really interestingOkay I did the same thing, I actually couldn't complete the first episode for like a year+. But once you actually start watching you can't stop. If Cillian Murphy said "Tommy Shelby (The Focus of the show) is the best TV character we've seen in 15 years" he has a very strong case. Thomas is one of the most in-depth and interesting characters you can see right now. It's practically about a post-ww1 Romani-Irish gangster family (like literally not even one year removed from 1918) trying to come up in the world, fighting against rival gangs, the police, having to deal with the rising communist threat and more. You see strategies and deals, killings and politics. Almost every member of the family is interesting as side chars and other side chars are very interesting as well. The plot of the show for the 1st-2nd season are very good, the rest are good too but the first two are special. It's more style than substance but the style makes up for it, like it makes sense why the creator went that way. Again just like BB the production is insane, fucking Churchill is in it.
Also PB portrays communism in a somewhat positive light.
I could go on and on but you won't get it until you watch both shows. People try to recommend Boardwalk Empire in comparison but that shit does NOT compare, PB and BB blow that shit out of the water.

Finally bit the bullet and apparently the shitty new cap show's finale literally involves the rightoid and liberal coming together to beat down the dumbass anarchist kids and then the new cap giving a speech to politicians

>talk about how x bad thing happened and how that's bad, but now it'll be good because the system has changed magically because of? talking!
>some black guy who developed the super soldier serum was tortured but now that the new cap is black, it's all okay because they made a statue of the guy who was tortured

the one where he kills Gus, even though I had the ending spoiled to me before my heart was still pumping HARD throughout the whole episode.

Unfortunately it ended so soon in the plot it couldnt even tell where it was headed. It mainly just focused on MC infiltrating the corporate government trying to get his sister out of being a sex slave or something if i recall right.

It's up there with Midnight Mass in that it sorta feels like it was written by someone who never grew out of their New Atheist phase.
No.23395
>>233932nd season feels like it's happening at break-neck pace. Every episode is introducing new elements and having major shifts happen, but there's not much time to dwell on anything. A lot of the wackier stuff you see toward the end of season 1 is still there in the background and sometimes comes up again, but the show has moved on from being about surviving in the wilderness to coping with society since
everyone ends up on another part of the planet with a different group of colonists.>It's up there with Midnight Mass in that it sorta feels like it was written by someone who never grew out of their New Atheist phase.The portrayal of the atheist faction in season 2 kind of blows up that interpretation.

No.23401
>>23317>>23350>>23371Since watching the first season of True Detective earlier this year, I've also been looking for similar stuff. But nothing is really at the same level as that first season, imo.
But I really enjoyed Sharp Objects. In some ways it reminded me a bit of TD, but it is a lot slower paced. But I enjoyed the atmosphere and the setting so I didn't mind. And Amy Adams is great in it. Mare of Easttown was another really good HBO crime show. You could give those two a shot maybe.
No.23402
>>23393I love Raised by Wolves, but it depends on your ability to accept it for what it is. Like some stuff is just straight retarded: burrowing through the center of the Earth, an acid ocean that everyone plays by, "devolution". But the designs are cool, I still like the plot, the weird twists (I don't care if they're resolved), the acting is pretty good, I like all blunt religious metaphors. My headcanon is that we're watching the scriptures of the Mithraics, so of course it's not logical and has a loose attachment to reality.
No.23433
>>23402The reveal that
the religion is some kind of misinterpretation of instructions left by non-believing precursors makes your headcanon plausible, except maybe it's
the story that will be told by future messengers and then misunderstood, just like the mithraic religion was a product of misinterpretation.
>devolutionThat's probably just dumbing it down for the audience. Evolution can appear to happen "backwards" if the environment favors simplicity, but there have already been references to "reprogramming" humans, and genetic manipulation is on the table, so it might be referencing some kind of design that causes "devolution" to happen. The teaser for the season 2 finale makes it look like this is the direction they're going with that since
grandmother has the goal of ensuring human survival, and she says that human rationality causes problems.>burrowing through the center of the EarthWell it isn't earth and the planet is made composed of some weird shit so who knows.
They expected it to kill them after all, so that's probably a hint at something unusual happening with the core.>acid oceanYeah the carelessness around it is stupid. You'd expect them to take more safety measures or any at all really. Then again they seem really stupid in general like willing to use humans as disposable bait when there are maybe 200 humans on the planet.
No.23444
>>23383The show's fucking infuriating
The premise of smushing together religious mythology and imagery in a future scifi setting is a cool idea but it's undermined by bad writing, bad directing, bad dialogue, and just no coherent messaging or plot focus. They needed to either depict the humans as more lofty and fantastical to match the alien setting, or tell a more grounded story of human colonists confronting an alien planet. They split the difference and it sucks, just like Prometheus and Alien Covenant trying to smash together highbrow musings on religion and evolution with lowbrow slasher/body horror shit.
>>23393Writing is the opposite of Midnight Mass, instead of long well-crafted dialogue sequences between the characters we get some excuse for one or two people to run off on their own, some crazy alien shit happens to them, and then they just forget about it until it becomes relevant to the plot two episodes later.
No.23474
I was bored and watched that animated spin off anthology of The Boys. Most of the episodes were uninteresting, but honestly I'd say there's only one or two that's outright bad. The only episode I liked was the one in the comic's universe. The last episode is pretty amusing since it's about people occupying a power plant and holding employees hostage due to the plant itself polluting the community and causing birth defects and among other issues. I've seen people unironically defend Homelander fucking up massacring the "terrorists" and most of the hostages because "it's duh ebil gommie libs holding people hostage and wanting something to be done about their communities being poisoned that's the problem." Of course, they don't see the irony in that and praising the main characters also going to extreme and violent means to fight against a megacorporation.

imagine say a white guy making songs about how much white and black girls don't want him and that how attracted he is too asian chicks, in multiple times for half a decade and ends up marrying an asian woman, how fucking scummy would that guy be considered, well that's Donald glover, before becoming a woke bae, his songs were filled with proto Incel lyrics about how he was considered a loser and women(especially black women) didn't want him and how asian women have better attitudes then both white and black girls
For example, on Kids (Keep Up), he raps
>"Finding you is like finding Asians I hate/But they say I got a fetish, nah, I'm skipping all of it/Black or white girls always come with a set of politics"This is actually one of the more tame examples of his fetishization of Asian women and his defamation of black women, If he just offhand mentioned liking Asian women in this one song then it wouldn't be a huge red flag. However, he talked about this on SO MANY of his earlier tracks. He talks about it on "Bonfire". He talks about it on "Freaks and Geeks". He talks about it on "Not Going Back". There are countless other examples of this- if you listen to almost any of his songs pre-Because the Internet, you can easily find references to this mindset. He essentially built up this self-fulfilling prophecy of black women not being interested in him through his lyricism, because what self-respecting woman would want to date a guy who characterizes black women as only wanting to date guys that act like thugs and a guy who understands that as the only reason for them not being interested in him.

>>24929It is a boring show for the most part even though some stuff is great. Same people complained endlessly about casting some black dude as Keyes who was white in the games so even though it's not the "sjw bad" thing it's in the usual reactionary gamer trend. My theory is that some fans are angry because their hero shows individuality, has some agency and has sex, therefore they can't identify with him anymore, but most importantly, they'll turn any possible controversy into a full flegded one because black people and women.

>>24929>>24926The ayy lmaos in Halo want to genocide the humans because basically the humans existing proves their entire religion wrong. The woman is a human who is with the aliens (as a high ranking figure) for some reason, which is about as big a contradiction as you could have in Halo. The absolutist genocide against humans is kind of the central defining feature of the faction and the plot of the series.
Master Chief having a romance with her is just cliché hack writing to heighten the drama or something by turning it into Romeo and Juliet in space. I guess some people were giving the show some benefit of the doubt for deviating so strongly from the concept until they saw that this is the payoff for that.

He's even described as being average compared to the other super soldiers, not especially good at anything but good overall except ambiguously that he is luckier than the rest. You never see his face in the games and he barely talks. There's only a couple times he takes his helmet off in the games, and his face is still hidden by the camera angles.
The show has him take his helmet off in the first episode (at a nonsensical time) and keep it off
a lot including when he's in fights. They started having him in scenes without even the armor, and people started joking that they were going to escalate that until they gave him a nude scene at some point. Which eventually they actually did.

>>24966Probably fan autism that got promoted to canon because the entire existence of Mandalorians was based on Boba Fett, some guy who appeared for like 5 minutes total in the original movies and had like 5 lines. People thought he was cool because of the only identifiable trait: the armor. So of course the whole concept of the Mandalorians is about how important the armor is and that they never take it off.
But yeah I guess doing a show about a guy who wears armor all the time does prove the concept. Halo armor is a lot more recognizable, especially after the absurd hype Halo 3 had (2007 was 15 years ago). It's probably a worse marketing choice to not have the actor wearing that helmet all the time.

>Severine Brock's first language was Ga, yet it was not surprising when, in 1842, she married Edward Carstensen. He was the last governor of Christiansborg, the fort that, in the eighteenth century, had been the center of Danish slave trading in West Africa. She was the descendant of Ga-speaking women who had married Danish merchants and traders. Their marriage would have been familiar to Gold Coast traders going back nearly 150 years. In Daughters of the Trade, Pernille Ipsen follows five generations of marriages between African women and Danish men, revealing how interracial marriage created a Euro-African hybrid culture specifically adapted to the Atlantic slave trade.basically the children of white colonialists despite being lower on the totem pole then regular whites, still served white supremacy, same shit applies with these rich and successful black men

The schoolshooter-core is an apt description, but that is just one ingrediant in this shit stew. Other ingrediant is "ripoff-Sopranos"-core, mainly that of Boardwalk, by which I mean its clear it looked at Sopranos, said "wow, ebin morally grey gangstas", completely ignored the satirical and comical nature of Sopranos and made a new mafia TV show out of it. And the final ingrediant is the reddit-ID, aka like Breaking Bad, where its clear that the show is trying to make its pissfuck asshole main character into super epic figure so that the redditors could go "yeah, if I just threw off societies chains, I'd be so like him!". Oh and then the final-final ingredient is seasonal rot, lots of it.

>>25143>Master Chief, and all the other Spartans, are chemically sterilised and removed of sexual impulses as children by the UNSC's evil child soldier training programme, this is stated clearly in the books.Game, book, and show canon are separate. Bungie deliberately did this with Reach by contradicting the book version of those events as much as possible, but yes sexuality is affected by the augmentations. You are overstating the effects, however, because several Spartans are shown to have sex drive and sexual orientation, including at least one who has had a kid IIRC.
This also varies depending on which Spartan program we're talking about. Some have more extensive augmentations than others, if we want to get pedantic. None of them are castrated, chemically or otherwise, as far as I'm aware, but some of the hormonal treatments do partially suppress their sex drive to a degree. That doesn't change the underlying sexuality that somebody has, and as a counterexample to Master Chief (a Spartan-II), fan favorite
Sergeant Johnson (a Spartan-I) clearly fucks, even getting a sex scene in one of the books. Nobody was bothered by that because it fit the character.
>Of course, they can just run roughshod over the books if they really want to, but it's pretty lame that they have done so just so they can have generic 'lmao he fucks' type shit. IMO it's more interesting to have him be a horribly abused psychopath.I agree but the thing is they could have done basically the same storyline for MC but with some other Spartan. There were lots of them. The kind of characterization that works for a quasi-blank-slate FPS protagonist is very different from what works for a TV show protagonist. I think they actually do show another character running away, which is from the books. Why not follow that guy? You have the whole setting to work with, so why put the same characters in focus? They're clearly trying to tell a different kind of story and appeal to people who aren't already interested in the franchise. It would make a lot more sense to have Master Chief, Cortana, etc appear in the show occasionally as background characters to establish a connection to the world and flesh things out. That would also serve as an advertisement for the rest of the franchise - "If you want to see their story, go play these games or read these books." Seems like stupid decisions happening at the production level. If you adapt the story but change the fundamentals of the major characters, it just feels like fanfiction and creates schisms between people who know/like the different versions. Then again, they have the Prophets cooperating with a human who in the games the Covenant would regard as a
literal demon, so it's obvious they don't care about writing.
They also obviously just don't give a fuck in general tbh. In the first episode with the fight against the elites, you see the rebels using two gatling guns when the aliens first get there, having no effect but then as soon as Master Chief picks one up, suddenly it chews through a bunch of them in no time. And then there's all the bad/unfinished CGI like the unpainted plasma pistol (which is the focal point of the shot with that error) or the fact that you repeatedly see the MC actor awkwardly covering the display on his assault rifle so they won't have to render the ammo readout in post-production. They just don't care lol. The fact that a clearly half-assed show is being politicized because "gamers" shows how happy people are to gobble up whatever some "entertainment news" rag shits out.
>>25151>Halo is based on books? lolNo, there were several novels made as "expanded universe" type material. Not that uncommon. How much they relate to the game is debatable, with Bungie clearly wanting to distance themselves and actively trying to retcon the books.
>>25144>a marry sue edgy powertriping fantasy of BBHow is Walter White a Mary Sue? He's a massive retard who succeeds mainly through people underestimating him for being a nerd or being unwilling to kill him because they need his chemistry skills.
He certainly thinks of himself that way, but he is making dumb mistakes from start to finish, and this is explicitly discussed by other characters.

>>25220>What is the politics of BB anyways?Vaguely "apolitical"? Pretty sure Vince Gilligan has talked about the healthcare system and war on drugs being problems, but the show itself doesn't really explore that side of things much. It shows drugs hurting people, but doesn't really examine why things are that way. Better Call Saul does more of that, but still not too much. Both shows do an alright job of being burgerpunk, because they don't really try to pretty up or romanticize things (partly because they had a very low budget initially).
One thing that might be a turn off is that while the show depicts scummy and corrupt cops, there's a pretty strong pro-police undertone to it.
I would argue that BB is passively pretty racist and sexist though. It's kind of hard not to notice that almost every prominent woman is written as a nagging harpy and that there's a pretty clear disconnect in the way that USanos and Mexicans are portrayed in terms of drug dealing, drug use, etc (haha wacky stoner vs unhinged killers etc). It feels Vince and everyone else writing the show are unconsciously replicating certain stereotypes. I don't think I've ever seen someone else mention this aspect of the show though. It's not in your face but it's there.
>I don't remember much but the plot does start literally with a guy having to sell meth to pay for his healthcare lolActually he has insurance that pays for it. His reasons for going after the money are so that his family will be taken care of after he's gone, not to avoid medical debt.
But that's just an excuse as he admits at the end of the show. He does it because he was bored with his life and he enjoyed doing the chemistry and being an outlaw. No.25296

<don't really try to pretty up or romanticize things
>there's a pretty strong pro-police undertone to it.yeah i've felt tht too, with hank dying being one of the showest big moments, and basically anything showing cops doing good work is basically coppaganda
i think i've heard people complain about the racism and sexism too but not many
it's true tho, i can't remember any women characters that aren't like that
even jessica jones is like naggy
>spoilered textdamn that's deep, i forgot about that scene

>>25297>did any of the post-bb media showed what happened to his family?You see they are
in witness protection in the last episode. IDK about anything beyond that.
>>25295Oh yea btw found out that the sex scene apparently happens while covenant lady is a POW under MC's supervision so the libs cheering at this for making gamers angery were cheering for a war crime.
