siggy2021 posted:They briefly mentioned Trump running for president last season, so it's sometime in 2015 then. I wouldn't be surprised if they throw Trump in next season and have a ball with it. As someone who thought season 2 was overall very weak a Trump plotline would make it totally worth sitting through. (Seriously the prison twist was so hack-y, season would have been way better if they had just straight up shown him in prison from the start.) cosmically_cosmic fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Dec 6, 2016 |

This. Even if I didn't like season 2 overall, the intros in Mr Robot are always great. It's a very weird thing to be good at, but they do nail it. For some reason the heavy metal toenail painting opening has always stuck with me.

Prison twist was horrible IMHO. It makes the whole first half of the season so completely boring and devoid of tension, we got like 6 episodes of him just hanging out in a park and loving around on the dark web, and then after all that boring poo poo we get the reveal that he was actually in an interesting setting the whole time. In my honest opinion, the twist really should have been just the reason he was in prison. If the audience thought he was in prison for the Mr Robot poo poo, and then it was revealed he was only in for the dog thing then that would have at least let us enjoy the prison setting. As it is it almost feels like we were robbed of tension and an interesting storyline, the whole thing was just dressed up to be super boring and borderline nonsensical with the twist being that it was actually an interesting plot all along, just completely hidden from the viewer for no reason. Mr Robot got good again after that though.

My only real issue with season 2 was that the 'reveal' struck me as a bad choice, because to me it seems like the storyline would have had a lot more tension and been more fun in general without it? In a way a lot of scenes have less tension/make less sense the way they are shown (unless you know the twist) which is really the opposite of how a good twist should work in my opinion. Another thing I thought was weird was that it's also technically two twists, first the Prison reveal, and then the second twist, that he's in prison for dognapping and not being a cyberterrorist. . To me keeping the second twist but leaving out the 'Imagining my moms house and hanging out at the most dangerous basketball court in the world' would have only made it better. Season 2 was good though, I just think it made a bit of a miss-step there.

Rarity posted:I think it's much more likely to go the opposite direction. It's going to seem to get into alternative universe stuff but any wacky sci-fi poo poo is actually just going to end up coming from Elliott's condition distorting his own reality. DEAR GOD THIS. I guess it's a testament to Mr Robot that a lot of its fans love it so much they start believing the main characters insane delusions might just be right all along. I mean I love him but he's basically Neil Breen.

Mr Robot viewers are like that guy in Guardians of the Galaxy who doesn't understand metaphors.

T-man posted:Post/Username Combo is delicious. His reaction after pushing Elliot out the window in the flashback seems a bit different to the way he described it beforehand (in the flashback it seems like a genuine accident but IIRC when Elliot described it he said he was unrepentant). Really on re-watch it kind of struck me how straight forward the actual 'plot' plot is. Once you know roughly what's real and what isn't.

Birdman is good, and actually has a bit in common with Mr Robot (Both have a warped reality due to the main characters psychosis, a very cinematic style and heavy refernces to other media) so watch both IMHO.

DaveKap posted:Before we "saw" the thing they showed us (which looked more like the hadron collider than a computer) Wait are you referring to the nuclear power plant that they refer to as such in the dialog (when the lights dim and he talks about back up generators)?

empty baggie posted:That and the images they showed while the opening credits ran on the screen are what people are interpreting as a hadron collider. I thought it just looked like a nuclear power plant, myself. I really do wonder sometimes if this is actually a really deep in joke that I'm missing.
