Big Mouth Billy Basshole posted:the Council trying to keep vampires hidden  Mrenda posted:I did not like the ending to Nadja's story this episode. The whole point about her being as stupid as the men should include, especially because she's an ancient vampire, her not being about modern woman, unappreciated at work, not enough time for herself kinda stuff. In the first two seasons her and Lazlo just hosed, and indulged each other's kinks. It could work if the writing was better but the beats of the story, if not the language, would absolutely play in any other crappy sitcom that gets a 150 episodes and goes into syndication. In the first season she turned a woman into a vampire specifically because of feminist reasons. That has always been part of her character.

I wish they could bring Beanie back for an episode but she’s probably too big now. Her turning into the freakish giant bat was absolutely hilarious to me.

Collin Robinson's jolly little "Hello!🎶" as people fled killed me. I'm a little curious if Colin Robinson is turning Lazlo, or if the buddy movie shtick is just to cover for the sexual tension of Nandorjia.

Yeah, I'm still enjoying parts, but I think this season is noticeably weaker than the first two. Earlier people brought up that everyone seems nicer. The weirdest example of this yet is probably the Baron. The last time we saw him, he was considering slaughtering all of them for not conquering the New World (minus Canada) in a month. He hurled Laszlo into the roof for saying he would stand out in public. He wakes up and they tell him with no hesitation that they have bungled things to the brink of extinction. He reacts sympathetically, teams up with them to fix it, and finds it delightfully amusing that a familiar is leading their party. After the latest episode, I'm also worried they are curving towards the late-season sitcom trope of "every character gets a soulmate".

I'm loving this season and the baron riding the sire is an inspiring image I don't think I'll ever forget. boo_radley posted:Collin Robinson's jolly little "Hello!🎶" as people fled killed me.

What do you mean turning, like, converting him gradually into an energy vampire? I loved Lazlo falling for geeksquad email exchange despite using glamour to wave past paying and rewards card stuff.

Avasculous posted:After the latest episode, I'm also worried they are curving towards the late-season sitcom trope of "every character gets a soulmate". Almost everyone is super horny this season. Laszlo and Nadja were already horny 24/7 but we also got two separate episodes where Nandor thought he'd found the love of his life (and spent half of one episode walking around pantsless with his dick swinging around) and now Colin Robinson also found "the one" and the Guide is making moves on Guillermo. It never works out though, apart from Laszlo and Nadja. Khanstant posted:I'm loving this season and the baron riding the sire is an inspiring image I don't think I'll ever forget. I only just noticed that the pre-season trailer actually had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance of the Baron riding the hellhound (1:26 in this video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bl2gDoDRbI

I'm surprised they have avoided the temptation to this point to ever use the documentary crew to move along the plot. Like when Lazlo went on the run and Nadja didn't know where he was, but the camera crew were still following him. Suppose it breaks a lot of the show if they start making the camera crew too "real".

Captain Monkey posted:Are people actually posting upset that the gimmick of addressing the documentary crew, one of the main conceits of the show and movie, is still being used? I'm upset that they're becoming aware of the crew and their filming as something with purpose. Guillermo talking about being a bit player in a show is him being aware that the filming has purpose. So far it seems like they've all been completely oblivious to the consequences of what a documentary means, and barely think of it. There's a layer of stupidity between their being filmed and what the characters think of it. This season they're now addressing it, like it's a reality show, and it's just not working. Up until now the documentary crew has been, "loving guuuys... Now they're right there, and Gizmo started playing up to them and treating them with respect. It goes back to the idea that the characters are far more competent this year. Sure, they gently caress up, but someone pointed out that Nadja has been "feminist" in the past in turning the S1 character into a vampire. That's true, but she was inept at it. Nadja turned the D&D player, then forgot about her. The new vampire was sick, didn't know she needed human blood, terrified her college roommate, and had to be rescued. Nadja hosed up, and when she realised the consequences of what she'd done she was equally as clueless. She was moronic in doing what she was doing. With the doll this episode they had a "happy ending." No-one really hosed up, not because they were stupid, selfish, not aware of modern issues, etc. The characters could have and probably did "learn something." The first two seasons were great because the characters never learned a thing, and if they did learn something they learned the wrong thing. It was constantly upsetting the plot beats, not this season which is constantly hitting typical plot beats, even if it's in weird scenarios.

I didn't get the impression Nadja was being parricularly feminist in truth last week, she just said a lot of girl boss buzzwords to talk past her emotions over reconciling with doll Nadja

Senor Tron posted:Suppose it breaks a lot of the show if they start making the camera crew too "real". Winking at the absurdity of the crew being present is good for an occasional, 4th-wall gag like the disco vampires suddenly noticing them. Treating the documentary as something that will actually happen and having characters vent about their screentime got cringey and unfunny fast in The Office though, and I hope they do not do it here.

I still hold out hope for some 'Man Bites Dog' level of documentary shenanigans. The conceit was that a documentary crew was following a serial killer around as he killed people. At one point they come across another serial killer with his own documentary crew. I'd love to see the Swearwolves or Witches with a crew and how they interact when there's two sets of cameras each with their own agenda.

I wish there was some way to convert his voice to a sound board thing to say whatever arbitrary things you want, but there's no computer math that could generate the right kind of spontaneous emphasis needed on the right words to really nail his voice.
