Apparently FXX had become the rerun animation channel. Every day of the week from Noon to 4am is Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, King of the Hill, Cleveland Show, Bob's Burgers, and Archer

The end of episode 6 is probably my favorite. It's cool that there will actually be a season 2. But I have no clue what they intend to do with the thing in the last few seconds of the finale. That seems a bit weird to me. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Nov 21, 2021 |

Pilot is the roughest episode, but the Wheel of time is legit good. Glad it seems to be winning the twitter discourse this weekend. I want the whole loving series. I think considering how it's doing on Amazon (number 1) that's a very good sign.

Well I just finished the live-action Cowboy Bebop and liked it quite a bit. I am a fan of the anime but haven't actually seen it for many years, so I think I'm kind of in the sweet spot for the show where the things they were faithful to were evocative and the things they weren't didn't register for me.

I know they already renewed it for season 2 and 3 before it aired but this is a great sign it'll continue past that.

I watched the first episode and didn't really feel anything about it, so I didn't bother to continue. But if random SA users tell me it's good, I might reconsider.

The American dub is good but I give a slight edge to the Japanese original. I think American Spike sounds too old. The Japanese guy sounds perfect.

Random quarantine TV thoughts: I'm happy that people are enjoying it but I feel like I'm in bizarro world reading praise for Wheel of Time. Just incredibly generic, boring "people in old-timey robes talking in a dark forest because we blew our budget on mediocre fast-cut special effects" tv. I couldn't get into See or Witcher, but at least they had some sense of a unique world, or identifiable characters. Also, they made some effort to help the audience suspend disbelief - the YA casting and feel has everyone looking like an LA model, just back from getting a facial-scrub and a new haircut. Cowboy-Bebop is OK. Every time the actors exchange more than a word or two I feel like I'm watching a hoky stage-play intercut with with good special effects, but its colorful and fun enough to have on in the background. Is Dave popular / doing well? Saw it mentioned once or twice here but haven't seen much discussion. I feel like its always teetering on the border of greatness - some amazing moments and great character insights but its a show with too many low-hanging gags and outs for the writers to be able to keep their hands off them. Foundation: the above user said is completely right. Invasion: What an odd show. I can't think of any other show thats spent so much money on very, very good production values in order to go nowhere and accomplish nothing. The idea is pretty cool but they do nothing with it.

Slamhound posted:I've only ever seen dubs and they're great. I assume subs are also great. Yeah, part of why I was leaning dubs was that that was the version that most people outside of Japan know, specifically from that Adult Swim run. Anything live action I'll go with subs 100% but it's up in the air with animated features and series. It really just depends on what has the better translation and voice acting. Like I loved Lupin when it was on around the same time as Cowboy Bebop back in the 00s, but I hated that the translation for the dub inserted a bunch of modern references into a show that was so obviously set in the 60s. The subbed version from the DVDs didn't have those random references, but it was also really sloppily translated and awkward.

The idea is pretty cool but they do nothing with it. I’m enjoying it even if the pacing is weird. If you see the potential in it and don’t like the execution, check out the War of the Worlds remake on Starz (2019). It’s really good and Invasion feels heavily cribbed from it.

Counterpoint the War of the World series is pretty blah overall due to some bad writing (characters make the stupidest decisions) and some of the worst teenage characters in recent memory. I haven’t finished season 2 because it got pretty painful to watch. I’m still debating to finish it or not because I do find some interesting ideas in the show. My wife likes it slightly better than me, but she agrees the 2 lead teenage characters are just awful to watch.

DaveKap posted:The twists don't pay off, the high points are primarily really cool looking CG, the screen writing is ultra-sloppy, and the really decent bits are too few and far between to recommend. They completely under-utilize Jared Harris and I will state again that the amount they actually have him on set vs the amount they used his name for advertising is worthy of false advertising litigation. Knowing nothing about the show but having read Foundation that leads me to 100% assume Jared Harris is Hari Seldon, also famous for having almost no lines in the book aside from short prerecorded messages.

Just wanted to pipe in that I feel that the end confrontation of ep 7 of Arcane justifies the project in its entirety. What a way to use animation, storytelling and fan-service to cap-end an episode, holy poo poo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGGWMsQSOs8

I watched the Yellowjackets pilot like 3 or 4 times because I liked it so much. Episode 2 was also really enjoyable if not as strong. I was a little too young for Lost but I totally understand all the hype and theorizing people did back in the day.

I just watched the first ep of Yellowjackets too. Very intriguing stuff, though I may wait for the whole season so I can binge it. I didn't recognize Christina ricci until the end.

Only watched one episode of each but so far Cowboy Bebop is better than Wheel of Time. Fight me. A lot of it boils down to the fact that the crew of CB are clearly having fun while WoT is info dumping constantly without ever taking time to let a scene breathe. They also cut out the opening scene of the book (the king doing a crazy) which was super important for setting up the stakes of the story. I’ll give it another few episodes to see if things improve but I’m not optimistic. E: Also lmao WoT is very frustrating as an adaptation. VERY important things like the One Power, the Dark One or darkfriends are left completely unexplained while [thing that was basically the twist at the end of book 1] is casually infodumped in the first episode. I would DEFINITELY not recommend watching this until after you’ve read the books. readingatwork fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Nov 22, 2021 |
