i sorta enjoyed the show week to week, the characters and their arcs were interesting, but if you stand back and look at any of the big-picture details about the club or the show or the gang politics or the amount of violence it's all retarded i heard someone describe this show as "a soap opera for dudes" and that hits the nail on the loving head. i liked watching it but that's exactly what it was. character-driven serial drama that made no goddamn sense.

Sons of Anarchy would make a great campaign setting for dungeons and dragons. Just make everything fantasy and make SOA a thieves guild. Also maybe they don't allow half-orcs (because half-orcs are basically the black people of D&D)

I watched a few seasons on Netflix and it just got worse with every episode. Every single story arc was "resolved" with killing someone. And the characters got to be bigger and bigger pieces of poo poo as it went on and I was just hoping they would die horribly somehow. Just terrible writing overall. Also I didn't quite see the surfer bro main character as a badass biker. "Like whoa, brah, those Mayan dudes are totally not chill!" *brushing back hair* "They think they are better bikers than us??" "SHAAA!! AS IF." Sophy Wackles fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Jun 30, 2015 |

I stopped watching when a biker dude got raped and burned alive for no reason. And then following that some random person not even a character in the show got shot and died accidentally for no reason. It didn't advance the plot or add anything to the story it was just random people dying and getting raped.

I can only think of four people in the show who get raped. one of them is a minor character. one of them gets stabbed to death. the other two get shot. who is the person who "got raped and burned alive for no reason"?

yep, that's two of the ones I just mentioned juice (the first one) gets stabbed to death in one of the very last episodes, otto gets shot to death by correctional officers in prison after cutting the throat of the retired deputy marshal who, among other things, conspired to have him raped those are the only bikers in the entire show I can think of who get raped, so who is the biker who gets raped and then burned alive because I don't remember that ever happening

If you think SoA is bad wait till you get wind of the awful netflix show sens8. If you want a real laugh watch the first 10-20 minutes of it then go read the tv iv thread and wonder if it's an elaborate troll thread by entirely fake accounts. To be fair, if you can watch s7 of soa I don't understand you either. I keep trying to watch it because I was entertained enough by the previous 6 seasons, but I always just say gently caress it I'm out by ep3-ep4. I simply don't care what happens anymore because it's all irrelevant and pointless and there's no actual plot or reason behind the characters' actions anymore. People just do unreasonable poo poo constantly for no apparent reason other than to setup a "clever" tie-in in a future episode or to attempt to move the show forward, but it doesn't make sense for them to do things because it's just hamfisted garbage. At least dexter established itself as a comedy from somewhere in s1/s2 on. Khorne fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Jul 1, 2015 |

Khorne posted:If you think SoA is bad wait till you get wind of the awful netflix show sens8. there's... there's not? gemma kills tara because she was led to believe tara had sold out the club and was divorcing jax and taking his kids away when she realises that was not the case at all she makes up the most believable story she can to escape her son's wrath, which is to blame the tong which had a present dispute with the club the club and the tong become embroiled in a gang war as a result, and when august marks threatens jax to try to enforce peace, jax moves pre-emptively to eliminate marks in the midst of all of this jax murders a witness who, as it turns out, was the son of another charter's president in the resulting dispute, jax then murders said president, prompting a vote to remove him as president and possibly sanction his murder the truth about tara's murder is revealed. jax realises the damage he has caused to the club. he first kills gemma to avenge his wife's murder, then attempts to atone by single-handedly eliminating the enemies he has created for the club in the one way they would not expect, by gunning them down in broad daylight, and then allowing himself to be killed. it's not good by any means and way too much of it is exposition but it wasn't exactly hard to follow

TacticalUrbanHomo posted:it's not good by any means and way too much of it is exposition but it wasn't exactly hard to follow I watched the entire show over a period of a week or two, except for the last half or so of s7 which I haven't even bothered watching. I guess if it was coming out weekly I could understand watching it, but with the show already done it's pretty easy to see a massive nose dive in entertainment level from the first half of the show with the second. As soon as Gemma kills Tara you know Jax is going to kill her and the show will end with him performing some kind of suicidal act, if not actual suicide. The Juice storyline was particularly poorly written, and the hispanic love interest of gemma, and the hookers, and everything else. The hooker/porn plot made sense when he was trying to get out of guns or become legit, but instead of doing that he just keeps taking the club down a dumber and dumber road. Tara dying is no excuse. Tara wasn't the reason Jaxx was trying to make the club right, and Tara wasn't the reason Jaxx loved his kids. But apparently Tara dying is an excuse for him to behave the complete opposite of how he intended to behave the entire time with this show's lovely writing. Him struggling with the death is one thing, the relationship with the escort, all of that is fine. Blowing off some business or creating some strife in his club as a result is fine. But instead they just used it as an excuse to have a !!bigger conflict!! that was way less interesting than e/n jax would have been. Like, what if the show never really had any direct things with the irish, the cartel thing ended after he set them up with a gang, and no federal anything was ever involved. What if the last season was mostly him struggling with Tara dying and he killed himself or moved on or found it was Gemma and killed her. Without all the dumb bullshit. If the show were written like the earlier seasons it is what would have happened, but instead we just get what amounts to flashy filler with very little substance. The actual interesting events of s7 are like an episode of content if you cut out all the irrelevant crap. Khorne fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Jul 1, 2015 |
