God help us all when the Robert Frost quoting ninjas attack four armed robo-Ford and they just surround him in a circle and bob around while he defeats them one by one.

Intel&Sebastian posted:Lmao I guess nothing ruins the internets day like a gunfight that isnt directed by Tom Clancy's personal retinue of Way of the Gun fanatics. A bunch of people, humans as far as we could tell, died in really silly ways to make our characters seem cool. That's weirdly at odds with the whole tone of the rest of the show. We've had a bunch of ridiculous action setpieces where heroes took down crowds like they were nothing... because those scenes were scripted! It was taking the piss out of dumb action scenes up until now... when they have a real dumb action scene where real people die, and they treat it in the same goofy way. No one involved in this thought "what's that guy thinking?" when they scripted the security dudes. They security guys weren't thinking. They were props. Or at least that's how the finished product makes me feel. Honestly, thinking about it that way this... probably was supposed to be a parallel to what humans do inside the park. The whole euphoria and freedom Hector and Armistice felt as they gunned down a bunch of humans neatly reflecting what has been done to them every day for the past thirty years. Hmm. Maybe its lame-ness was the point... that could be interesting.

That'd be funny as hell to see in the background, another season.

Idk, its dumb tv guards who need to get got without burning up a lot of screentime. Thats what they do. I will give that in comparison to a lot of the quick and lethal gun stuff inside WW it wasnt as good but I couldnt tell you if thats because those were well done or the P90 power hour was real bad or what.

I dont know what guise "worthy of criticism" here practically means - you're not giving notes to the production staff, so whats the goal? To me, this thread is about finding interesting easter eggs, neat connections, or otherwise constructive stuff to the experience. I understand the show isn't above criticism, but criticizing something because it wasn't realisitic enough is missing the point of "did it serve the story or experience as a viewer" Eiba posted:Maybe its lame-ness was the point... that could be interesting.

I just put together something horrifying "You know what we did to the Neanderthals? We ate them." .. the hosts that are awaiting Wyatt and are attacking Delos have repeatedly shown to be cannibals. Holy gently caress.

Thought they were fun. Armistance almost has an orgasim when she realizes how effective the guns are, that was a fun little part about her character going from old to new. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFxaCa-hr8o this should be the thread title Quick Draw McGraw posted:But they waste a ton of screentime on them killing guards, and the killing scenes just drag on and on. It was a couple minutes of the bots having fun realizing what the could do with the new tech. IT wasn't that long, like 5 minutes I think?

I said earlier in the thread that Westworld tricked everybody into watching what is basically Star Trek. So now I am forcing the comparison. If the gunfights in the last episode are so annoying; explain to me why Data -- the Android -- still shakes around on the bridge when they're hit by something even though he's capable of trillions of calculations per second and presumably has a gyroscope?! ^ (thats how this argument is going)

Yeah, this is HBO. The true focus has always been in the storytelling, but frankly the money and a lot of the outside attention has always been in the violence, and they know it. The fact that we only really got two full-on blood bath shootouts, in the first and last episodes of The new centerpiece series is, if anything, a decent showing of restraint. Side note in regards to the above point RE: the utility of violence in modern storytelling, I did enjoy The Atlantic's article on the WW finale. Don't know if anyone's discussed it in this thread, I've honestly only been on board the past few pages.
