Studio execs eat this poo poo up so they can hang them on their office walls all over town. It's a status symbol. I bet you didn't think you could be more grossed out by it, did you?

Yeah, seeing that made me second guess myself like "wait a minute, was The Crimson Bolt that heavily influenced by The Flash?". But nope, in making it look like a DIY costume like a kid would make they made it look like Crimson Bolt rip-off.

I looked at this way too long. It's like I'm in a new dimension and my brain can't accept it. f/e: also The Flash runs while dragging his knee on the ground. Huh.

Judging from the wikipedia, which is the only thing I've read about it, no. No, I think I hate it. You either put elves in your fantasy and set it in a different realm or the ancient past or you don't put anything Tolkien-related in it at all. Or Norse-mythology-related I should say. I always despised mixed media in art for some reason and I think this is a byproduct of whatever motivates those feelings.

I'm sure this series bites, but Shadowrun put elves in Blade Runner and it worked fine.

Shadowrun is not what I'd call the model for a good show or really anything other than complete nerdgasm.

Maxwell Lord posted:That's been slowly becoming more common anyway. Simultaneous openings cut down on piracy, but it can be hard to arrange it. Why does the UK tend to get Marvel movies a week earlier than the US? Both Disney and Marvel are US companies and I don't think it happens with Pixar films.

I've never read the books and I don't really care much for fantasy either way but if you're going to try to capitalize on Game of Throne's popularity (with a little Walking Dead/Hunger Games post-apocalypse for good measure) having a show where wizards fight robots is far from the worst way to do that.

Wizards and robots exist in such thematically different universe that combining the two just seems utterly disorderly. I think it works if you have robot wizards (or wizard robots) but pitting one against the other is like setting a shark against a lion. It expects too much of the viewer to mesh two incongruent universes together.

Did the wizards use their magic to move the Space Needle to Oregon  Doesn't matter, because the whole thing was filmed in New Zealand, which has apparently become Default Magic Land. I wonder if New Zealanders view this as an upgrade or downgrade from always being confused for part of Australia.
