Rhyno posted:I'm not trolling, it's a terrible show and unless you're a 13 year old girl you should be ashamed to proclaim that you enjoy it. Now put me on ignore. See, look at this. It's so devoid of style or personality. Put your own spin on it, man! I don't even care that you don't like the show, whatever, but whenever I see you it's the limpest, most half-assed attempts to rile people and it's really sad.

I finished Iron Fist. I was pretty forgiving and it's still like a C+ at absolute best. The worst thing about it is that it made me curious to see a good version of Iron Fist, which will in all likelihood never happen.

Luke Cage, much like Iron Fist, is fine. Honestly parts of it are more aggressively bad than IF and I still came out of that show positive. Also I feel like just about everything I like about IF can be tied back to Colleen Wing.

Eezee posted:It's much too long for the content so it runs out of steam halfway through the season. This isn't actually true at all. They seem like they had a concrete plan for the second half of the season, it's just kind of a misfire. Plus, while the first half is certainly a lot more charming I'd argue it suffers from a lot of the same issues.

Escobarbarian posted:Why? It's 100% true. This isn't even me doing a bit, that's a completely valid criticism. Jessica Jones and Daredevil had more than four episodes of plot, obviously, but it also conflates "plot" with "forward progress," as if a television show is an engine that must constantly move forward or it's broken. JJ takes diversions that are relevant to what it's trying to say or gently caress, even just for the sake of it. The primary issue with these shows isn't that they're too long, it's that they don't move fast enough. You could tell much better stories, even within 13 episodes, if the pacing was ramped up massively. I'm mainly annoyed that people consistently complain that the episode orders are too long as if the showrunners can't just write more story. People say Jessica Jones should have ended at episode 10 but the simple fact is the arc of the show wasn't done yet at that point, and while the storytelling to continue it from there was a bit sloppy cutting it down wouldn't have fixed that. Mu Zeta posted:It's my honest belief since several of the episodes are boring as gently caress. This isn't even the same complaint, and it ignores the context of why the problem can suddenly be solved in that way in the first place. Sometimes characters haven't finished their arcs and thus cannot solve their problems in the most expedient way. What you're suggesting they do would be way more boring and anticlimactic.

Oh Snapple! posted:The problem essentially isn't the episode order number, it's that they can't get writers who can actually fill it worth a drat. Basically. People keep saying this even when it makes no sense, like with Luke Cage. The "too many episodes" complaint there suggests that the writers were forced into a dilemma by only being able to fill half a season, but that's ridiculous. It's way more likely that they simply had an idea for the season to have two distinct halves, and the second one just didn't work very well.

I'm more or less fine with it, though it's not the strongest material. I liked Elektra a lot. Though hilariously, in Iron Fist they get rid of it entirely

Escobarbarian posted:People can form emotional connections to things for all sort of bullshit reasons tbh. I definitely don't think that means anything with regards to how good a show is. You're kind of insisting there's some kind of objective truth here only you are privy to and it's really pissing me off. I have always admitted JJ has flaws, but I really like the way that story is told.

"Whiny" might have been the wrong word, I admit, but my point was you have a tendency to jump into these arguments and indirectly insult people for liking loving TV shows.

The issue only comes if you insist that's the reason they like it or that that's somehow invalid (which I'm not accusing anyone here of actually doing). Part of what I like about JJ is that it's weird and messy and imperfect. It's part of the way that show speaks directly to me. It's the same reason I still think the best season of Community is 3.

Escobarbarian posted:I think this was a reference to the recent editing down of Breaking Bad into a 2 hour movie by someone. I heard about this, and my post was in reference to the fact that it was a terrible idea. My favorite episodes of both Breaking Bad and Jessica Jones aren't focused on plot, they're ones where they mix things up for an episode. You can't do that with a movie and it's part of what makes television valuable. It's part of how people who are trying to use TV to tell a really long movie are kind of missing the point.
