i only like carol. plurbs is unsufferable and so are all the other survivors specially that dumb ass indian lady

>>47014
Except carol is wrong about everything and a miserable cunt even before pluribus fixes everything

Fallout would be an okay-ish show if it wasn't for the constant 50s and 60s music.

>watch Carnival Row because fantasy stuff is rare these days
<racism and police brutality and putting people in ghettos is bad, but have you considered that communism can only be achieved through violence and thats definitely worse
LMAO peak libshit, hard to believe they made this shit just a few years ago. my favorite part is the rich black guy defending slavery to the revolutionaries who held them captive and being presented as in the right and the same rich black guy killing the head of the revolution in the finale!!

Any good shows?

>>47069
Watched Silo, it is decent.

>>47014
Most annoying character to exist award.

Just watched Arcane Season 1, holy shit, it's so fucking Zionist? Am I the only one to notice this? It's my Muslim LoL player friend who recommended it to me in the first place lol.

I hate how so many TV shows these days have an intro that's just a simple title card. What happened to intros like The Sopranos and Twin Peaks, that actually took time to introduce the atmosphere?

>>47003
its ok especially the concept, but way too slow imo, and the mc is really dumb and unlikeable (which I think she is supposed to be, on some level at least). I think they also didnt go the way giving the most interesting choices and situations.
The final episodes reveal the real hero; and what a chad, if anyone save humanity it will be him

>>47002
>the Joined are literally everyone in the world all at the same time
they clearly arent, unless you think the average person is fine with eating its parents, yet still starving most of the population because we shouldnt use plants or harm anything living, or fine with sending its body to act as a sex toy for the survivors. They also dont have any culture, or even fulfill their basic comforts (eating slop everyday yaaay!).
The virus, wether designed or evolved, clearly "hack" everyone brain to create a network that an entirely new (and fundamentally completely inhumane) consciousness will use as its hardware, but its clearly not a merging of existing people (although the new consciousness have access to their memories and physical bodies, its personality and desires are entirely its own, just like if a hacker took control of a server to run his own shit on it rather than what the original owner had running, still have access to data, but the person is gone as long as the resources are used to run the hacker app instead).


I also started watching a knight of seven kingdom, books were pretty good iirc, especially the second one, and this seem to be following closely so it should be good (actors are doing good job so far)

The pitt is pretty good at cliffhangers, I finished the first season in record time. Its just usual medical drama but I like it

>>47071
loved it, even read the book after (worth it I feel)

>>47066
I'm just mad this is the bethesda theme park fallout (and the writing is very meh which doesnt help). Imagine if they had told the story of the master from fallout 1 instead, how much better the main plot would be rather than this crap that shit all over the legacy of the games

Getting really tired of most Leftists/Progressives online seemingly being horrified at the concept of having.. standards when it comes to certain franchises and IPs.
The rushing to defence of lazy crap like Fallout, Witcher, Rings of Power, NuTrek really just drives home to me that toxic inclusivity seems to be a massive issue for lefties.
The reality is, IP's survive based on gatekept fandoms.
This is why Sport is the most successful "subculture" out there, people become seriously invested in their teams, chew out players, coaches, cheer and cry when they win, imagine if lefties came into sport and started demanding that it's wrong to criticize a coach or shitty player and idiotic plays and strategy because it's mean and not inclusive and they got their way, sport would largely become dull, passionless and boring.
You hear all the time from leftist commentators "it's not a sport, there are no winners and losers", but honestly, yes, there are, as a lover of classic Fallout, it's tone and setting, I am a loser here, the Fallout setting I loved and enjoyed has been taken out the back of the shed and shot and replaced with a cheap theme park ride version of it that doesn't understand it's tone or values at all, As a Trekkie since I was 6, yes am a loser, I will likely never, ever see a satisfying continuation of the Trek story and setting post DS9, we will never see a serious take on the aftermath of the Dominion War, we will never see how the Prophets/Bajor story plays out, we won't see what happens to Cardassia or the Gamma Quadrant etc.
When Leftist commentators and media bootlickers keep pushing this "you are not allowed to criticize something, it's just not for you", how do they not see they are just engaging in Corporate bootlicking, the hollowing out of a scene and subculture and setting, and turning it into a mass consumption brand slop. Star Trek stayed relevant for 40 years due to it's tribalistic, often offputting, autistic ass fanbase, now thanks to toxic inclusivity and attempts to make Star Trek a "mass brand" and leftist idiots attacking the fandom for having standards, it's shows can't even hit 100k viewers and the entire setting is just awful generic scifi slop.
This is one case where the right are actually correct and the left has lost the plot. As much as I hate faggots like Nerdrotic and CriticalDrinker, they are far more correct than the lefty retards like Steve Shives and co who defend this crap.

>>47223
>What happened to intros like The Sopranos and Twin Peaks, that actually took time to introduce the atmosphere?
Because people binge shows when they stream so nobody wants to watch the intro back to back 10 times in a row. They have a skip feature but people probably don't want to be bothered with that and it saves the studio time and money.

>>47227
Whose twitter did you steal this from

>>46517
What classes are represented in shows I've seen? Not necessarily shows I like–

Lumpen– Shameless
Proletarian-Malcolm in the Middle
Petit Bourgeois- Fawlty Towers
"Ruined" Bourgeois- Arrested Development, Schitt's Creek
Haute Bourgeois- White Lotus

Accurate? Any other shows which have an obvious class aspect?

>>47227
Where's the proofs??? I feel like actual leftists are some of the most critical of lazy cashgrab media

If you're thinking of just being normie libs, that's a completely different group

the only praise ive seen for the fallout tv show is like if the RLM video on rogue one was sincere lol

who tf asked for this shit lol

I've been watching the Mayday series the past week. They put a bunch of episodes on youtube so check it out.

Is Severance the most class-conscious show this decade?

>>47353
dunno but its very good and a good denunciation of corporate "culture" and capitalism abuses

>>47354
yeah and I'm honestly fine if there's not another season. the workers taking over was a great way to end the series imo.

>>47353
>>47354
>>47356
>this is le most le class conscious!!!!
<look inside
>generic liberal complaints about white collar jobs
ok

class consciousness isnt when ideas or thoughts btw, marx used it to refer to proletarian action lmao

>>47359
Why are you rude like this

>>47360
bc you clearly need to watch more films(notice how i specifically avoided saying tv shows). reading some marx before using his terminology wouldnt hurt either lopl

>>47359
>is it the most class conscious?
<dunno but its good
>>this is le most le class conscious!!!!
you need to work on your reading comprehension before lecturing people on proper usage of words

Watched this last week because I find Reagan a highly interesting figure. Thought it would be a more nuanced political biopic maybe like Oliver Stone's Nixon or Adam McKays Vice but it turned out to be some Dailywire-tier, two-dimensional conservative boomerslop full of horrible cgi and with Reagan as the christian superhero who singlehandedly brought down communism.

>>47373
how does it deal with Iran-Contra?

>>47373
that sounds exactly like what I was expecting it to be idk why anyone would ever assume differently

>>47361
I'm not anon lol I just think your posture is hysterical. Do you talk to your coworkers like this?

>>47375
It's barely touched upon. In fact it's only briefly mentioned in one scene.
>>47377
I didn't think it would be that bad. I can tolerate the right wing propaganda if the film is decent but it's just bad all around

>>46615
>>46734
I saw it some months ago, it's not bad at all. Good acting and enjoyable if you're interested in the time period. It swings between portraying ᴉuᴉlossnW as a cowardly, opportunistic buffoon and a heroic figure who takes over Italy. Oh and there's a scene where he straight up looks at the camera and says "Make Italy great again"

i love tv but never viewed it as an overly complex medium to enjoy and understand but all this the pitt shit is really opening my eyes that a lot of people just do not have the comprehensive ability to understand basic screenwriting decisions. this is exacerbated whenever the mental disease known as "fandom" is present

The fallout show kind of sucks

>>47492
it's light entertainment with a heavy anti-capitalist slant. It's okay. Sometimes the 50s/60s music is annoying as fuck (but I guess they can't skip on that because of the aesthetic of the game), and Ella Purnell's character is written like some quirky wholesome chungus which sometimes gets on my nerves.

Well, The Boys really overstayed their welcome. Making Kimiko say "that makes we wanna tit-slap you, and then hug you" made me die of cringe. The satire needs to be sharper, but to be fair it was written before Trump's second term and it's hard to even make a satire of that. Gore, perverted sex and strong language do not shock anybody anymore, for this show to end in a relevant way they need to really push the boundaries where it hurts, like making fun of Charlie Kirk's death or something.

Also, can never look at Frenchie the same way now that I know that he is IDF war criminal. Is Eric Kripke a Zionist?

Light entertainment may be right. There's nothing really going on in it and none of it really matters, especially outside of the protagonists' immediate narratives.

I think the Fallout show is the epitome of what happens to "intellectual property" in virtually every industry now. Fallout is just reduced to a set of thin, hollow images moving against a generic post-apoc background, with all the meaning and substance scraped away, parasitizing the corpse of the intent of the original creators.

Like, there's so much fan service in this fucking show, and I don't understand why. I get that having the stuff there is essential but I don't get what the intent is, since they seem to include these elements just to take a big shit on them. Shady Sands? Gone. New Vegas? Basically dead. The Legion? Reduced to one camp of retards with a line taped down the middle fighting over a piece of paper that doesn't matter.

So what's the appeal supposed to be?

>>47494
When that deaf character started talking I had to double check to see if it was like dubbed over it felt so fake

Honestly the shows been shit since season 2

I tried to watch a Japanese Netflix series called MISS KING. It's about a woman whose professional shogi playing father abandons her and her mother to run off with another woman. After running off his career explodes he becomes the best shogi player in Japan or some shit. Our protagonist vows revenge on her father for abandoning her and her mother.

Anyways, there's just something about Japanese live action media that is kinda bizarre to me. The body language is really awkward and alien. It just makes me cringe. In one scene, this piece of shit fuccboi character is emotionally manipulating his girlfriend for some reason or another I forget, and the body language that I would expect, that I would perceive as natural in that situation would be for example: that the fuccboi walks up to the gf puts his hand on her face whispers while their faces are really close together maybe puts a hand on her waist or some shit like that. What happens instead is that the fuccboi briskly walks like a fucking turbo autist right up to the gf and gives her a retard bear hug. And the way it's directed, you know it's meant to come off as passionate or romantic but it's just mechanical and awkward. Most Japanese live action shit is like this. They don't really do intimacy well. Of course it's just the cultural difference. Body language like anything else varies across cultures, but nevertheless I can't get over it. And that's why I prefer Japanese series that don't revolve around heavily around intimacy and romance.

>>47492
everything kinda sucks a lot

>>47507
But not the sexy kind of suck.

What do you think of Neptr?

>>47510
the best friend anyone could have

<he’s rocking her the halo keeps leaving his head so he’s deciding whether or not to die, and at the end it’s not behind his head anymore
i kneel

>>47523
i didnt think id like the pitt as much as i did

>>47353
it kinda was in s1 but s2 just became a weird story about love?? and like innie lifes have meaning too.

Ben Stiller is a counterrevolutionary.

>>47524

Invincible S4E08

>>47547
Now they're BOTH murderers!

>a-train gets redeemed and helps the boys
<gets killed a couple of eps later

>theres now a virus to kill the big bad
<gets destroyed the next ep after it turns out it works

>the son finally stood up to the big bad
>gets his ass beat immediately

this show is so ass lol. im not inherently against diverging from source material but at least garth ennis knows how to tie a plot together. this is just a fucking mess

>>47495
What if I told you that's exactly what the original creators intent was?

Corporations launching the nukes first? Was intended by the unreleased fallout film script?

Contemplating nuking the factions? Ulysses already did it.

The Enclave didn't even exist until Fallout 2. And that game was a massive meme. And you already know which faction and city survived, if you played it.

In fact, the show went out of its way to explain why vaults are the way the are. There was nothing special in Fallout. They became a social experiment for Enclave in 2. They were a complete mess afterwards.

The show isn't very good, because Fallout isn't very good. But it is indubitably Fallout. 2 more than than any other entry.
