BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:they need to just say gently caress being a prequel and go full bonny and clyde that would be nice. i understand why they went with it to make sure they got Executive funding to make it happen, draw in an existing audience, get AMC to keep it going, etc. but thats my inherent brain problem with prequels is it's like, oh you know this guy dies later like so, or that this guy isnt around later so clearly they died/ran away. you know from BB that kim isn't in the picture

you absolutely should take the penultimate line of the mst3k theme as genuine life advice, but also, it's an mst3k reference.

Vin Diesel is definitely gonna steal the car and get away with it. John Travolta is gonna get his face back. does knowing that stuff beyond a shadow of a doubt make the books or movies less good? I don’t think so, because it really is about how those predetermined endings come about more than that they come about. I don’t see why it would be any different in the case of Better Call Saul

John Travolta is gonna get his face back. its not about the main characters if better call saul wasnt a prequel to breaking bad, you cant know whether kim/nacho/mike are gonna stick around. you probably figure jimmy is gonna make it somehow, but not everyone else. but since it is, you know mike is in for the whole thing, and kim and nacho is gone soon, whether dead or off with the vacuum guy. likewise, you dont know boromir is gonna want the ring, or that lando is gonna betray han either

Whole article is very good. I'm surprised it doesn't discuss Surface Detail, that seems like the book which addresses the topic most bluntly.

Vin Diesel is definitely gonna steal the car and get away with it. John Travolta is gonna get his face back. this line of thinking actually hosed me up in real life last year (thanks pandemic/quarantine). like as i play games or watch movies everything felt so inevitable, because everything is obviously rehearsed and recorded, but that seeped into my brain so every bad thing i could imagine just felt inevitable and drove me to a bad bad place. thankfully i was able to dig out of it and i enjoy life and media a lot more. it all started with that show Devs. not my first foray into the idea of the inevitable but dang if that wasn't a show that stuck in my brain.
