I just watched "The Road" and what strikes me is that even in that ultra dreary and depressing movie they took time out to have scenes with the kid and father being happy and joking around. You know, because they are human beings. It's not two hours of people being depressed and slowly dying. That would be stupid and nobody would want to watch it.

Iowa Snow King posted:The main character lineup is getting pretty sparse in terms of people-who-have-an-actual-personality Mostly the show has three different scenes - 1) Characters talking very seriously about what they are going to do 2) Lingering shots of people staring into the distance because they're sad and that's deep 3) Fighting stuff or being very, very angry or possibly going insane. I just want some scenes where people are kicking back and shooting the poo poo. Like humans. Have them cook up some moonshine and have a BBQ or throw a ball around or make some weird zombie dismantling machine or just do something, anything that a human being might do to let off some steam. It would be neat if sometimes people could smile, laugh, crack a few jokes. I might even be able to sort of relate to these weird broken aliens.

RenegadeStyle1 posted:Prepping has always been dumb to me. Yay now I can live in a poo poo world with zombies/radiation/killer robots for a long time. Sounds great. And why build a bunker anyway - just move into a concrete/steel tower. In terms of structural integrity it's not exactly equivalent to a medieval castle but it's close enough. There's a reason why even modern armies have so much trouble taking urban areas. Or build a flimsy wall around a bunch of houses and wait for someone to blow it up or drive a truck through it. Whatever floats your goat. I'm telling ya, those cops in Atlanta had the right idea.

The showrunners definitely know how to drain a scene of all energy and slow an episode waaay down. Every scene take exactly as long as it is conceivably possible to make it.

texaholic posted:Go checkout a dumpster behind a restaurant and imagine living in the dumpster, Because they wanted another group and a dump was the most interesting setting they could come up with. Then they thought long and hard about it and decided people who live in a dump must lose the ability of speech, haircuts and scavenging clothes. There is no reason for it. It's like they have a single part time writer they call in for brainstorming sessions and then the director stretch 20 min. of script into a 45 min. episodes. Like Daryl and Carol chat. The emotions and themes they want to convey was totally fine for this kind of show. They just stretched it out to 5 minutes and filmed it with the least amount of effort. Just totally flat and loooong pauses to stretch it out. The thing is, there's no reason for this. If you are going to put two characters in a room for 5 minutes then write the loving dialogue for it. You don't need a bunch of extras or an army of VFX artists - just spend 10 min. more on the goddamn script. Have them reminisce or joke around a bit or some character building. Nope, just two people in a room being miserable and talking super slow.

JazzFlight posted:The dumbest thing about these characters is that a lot of them seem like the outbreak just started and they're still incompetent. Wouldn't you realistically want to horde a bunch of survival guides and start teaching people how to survive, Bear Grylls style? There are people living in rural areas of the US right now that would be utterly embarrassed by everything these characters do. It's been a couple years in their world, why can't they properly sustain themselves without needing old slop out of a can? They showed a little bit of farming at the kingdom but it's the kind of suburban hipster hobby farming people do. Growing 20 heads of lettuce and some tomatoes isn't going to help you through the winter. You have to grow grains you can store outside the growing season. There's a reason medieval folk survived on gruel and bread and it wasn't because they hated vegetables.

redleader posted:Eh, could have easily cut 10-15 min off this episode, no problems. Yeah they still drag it out. Still best episode of the season. I'd like to think it was a guest director and he had to explain the scene with Negan's wives laughing and having fun with Eugene to the regular crew. "No they're not crying. It's a completely different emotion!!" "So they are very angry?" "No, they're having fun!" "I don't understand what that means."

The last episode should just be a single 45 min shot of an elaborate Rube Goldberg machine composed of high school physics experiments that systematically kills every Savior while Eugene watches on from a lawn chair while eating pickles. Meanwhile Rick is somewhere. Or not.

Fog Tripper posted:You are not a good show watcher. It's unnecessarily slow and lethargic. People can have serious conversations without constantly stopping to stare intently at each other. You don't NEED a long lingering close up every time someone feels something. There are other tools in the cinematic toolbox. And you know, if you have a scene with people talking in it you can do other things than just switching between close-ups. Like you have the scene with Ezekiel looking out over his kingdom from his balcony. From the set you understand what he's trying to protect - people living in peace, a father with his child etc. - and that he is the protector of it but isolated above it. It's not amazing or anything but ok, the set says something about the character and his situation. Most of the other scenes people are having conversations in bleak rooms or a parking lot. It's lazy. It's bad craftsmanship. That said things happened. I guess the plot moved forward.

I can't get past the absurdity of 12 angry armed men having a tense standoff over a single cantaloupe - in a crate which had been loaded onto a truck bed. No one thought to just have a guy drive it out there in a car. BRING FORTH THE ROYAL LORRY. SECURE THE CANTALOUPE! I'll just put it in a bag and carry... IT'S CARGO! IT GOES IN THE TRUCK! There must be 100+ Saviors why would they even bother with 12 loving cantaloupes. You couldn't just have less frequent drops with actual meaningful amounts of food? This loving show.

coyo7e posted:I did like that the guy told Ezekiel to literally just make up the difference, no more, no less. He was rubbing in the fact that it was all bullshit, and that it was done simply to reinforce the position the kingdom is stuck in. And it makes it a much easier choice to go against the Saviors when they do poo poo like that. I'll go along with it as long as we agree "rubbing it in" is a dumb strategy for keeping people in line. And it is, the Kingdom is now going to war because an unnecessary cantaloupe drop got botched.

The actress who plays Sacha will be the main character on a show on a completely different network. 100% sure she's going to die at some point in the next 2 eps Someone mentioned Holly earlier and judging by her death I'd guess that's what will happen to Sasha in the finale. Got nothing to back it up with but idle speculation.

yeah I eat rear end posted:Their plan was ridiculously stupid anyway even before Sasha decided to "save" Rosita. Do they not realize Negan is going to head straight back home to punish them and possibly sabotage the big resistance they are preparing for? Well that would happen whether they killed him or not. It's not like the Saviors are just going to disband and stop living the good life if Negan dies. If Negan survives he makes an example of them, if he dies Trevor or someone else takes over and makes an example of them. Their plan makes no sense and only serves to get Sasha captured by the Saviors so they can Johnny Truant posted:Sasha gets murderized and returned as a walker with a bag over her head like in the comics. But that won't be until the half season closer of s08, probably, ugh I bet this will lead into how Rosita dies too.

Acacia REI posted:It still takes actual force to kill them though. In TWD any character can casually stride through the forest gently knifing any walker that approaches them with such ease that I wonder why it's even being shown. It's not compelling or exciting and does nothing but fill some kind of walker-quota each episode has. At least in FTWD they still have to put force into their blows and the zombies' skulls aren't made of jello. It was kinda silly when Carol killed 5 walkers and the Kingdom guards were totally blown away by it. Yeah, it doesn't look that difficult really. Swing bat/sword/axe - move your feet in rapid succession to stay out of range - repeat x 5. I think I could swing a bat five times and manage to not fall over. Seems totally doable.

Blazing Ownager posted:"I get it now. We can run away, live like these people or fight.. I mean.. these people have a thriving community and seem happy since they escaped Negan's army. Fuuuuck that." That's consistent with their decisions throughout the show though - if you find a successful community, do the most opposite thing you can think of. Find a community that's secure enough to run an old folks home - go camp in the woods, immediately get overrun by a herd. Find a prosperous community in an impregnable city fortress - leave for the countryside, almost die of dehydration while being relentlessly chased by walkers over open ground. Find a community that thrives by avoiding war - take their guns and start a war.

I can't decide if it's budget or laziness. They called all the extras in and the set is there - how much time would it really take to shoot Tara crawling around in some bushes and jimmying a window or something? It wouldn't have to be a cinematic masterpiece to still add a little tension.
