yeah I eat rear end posted:The guy who doesn't know where Daryl is Totally fine as having this as my thread monicker I'd be interested to see someone do the like "edit all of Breaking Bad into one movie" trick to TWD. Without all the loving stupid staring in this past episode it'd be what, 20 minutes? Also, why the gently caress are the Kingdom people drawing guns on the Saviours literally every time they meetup? Like gently caress, have one person with a gun so when you inevitably get your guns taken you're losing a single 9mm out some poo poo, gently caress

I'd like to see more shows have one side actually start shooting. I guess it kind of happened in that episode where Herschel got his head chopped, but generally both sides are just like "ok, now what?". Don't pull your guns if you're just going to hand them over after a bit of a standoff. I would think the side who started shooting first would have a pretty good advantage so if you're in a situation where some/all of you might die, why not roll the dice?

Morgan awkwardly and angrily standing there in complete silence while Richard lectures him with a huge speech is how I feel when I watch the walking dead.

Grimes had/has a Neegan radio, a slew of weapons and explosives. They also know the schedule of loot pickups (why do they not have it brought all the way to neegans camp?) They could easily clamp down on neegan with IEDs and sniping alone. Add in Morgan spikes and the all but silent bows of the kingdumb. Why are they afraid of Neegan again?

I'm not going to quit watching, but I'll tivo skim the rest up until the finale. Watching "The Last of Us" immediately before TWD may be the best way to highlight TWD's shortcomings. That show got more emotion from a shot of vintage toys on a dashboard than TWD did from depicting the actual murder of a child.

Not that I would ever miss a chance to critique this show, but TWD actually did this already - season 2 when Herschel falls off the wagon and Rick suggests the Philly boys check out Nebraska. What a surprise, that scene was actually super tense and it was shocking when bullets started to fly.

Fog Tripper posted:Child murder? I guess "teenager murder" is more appropriate? We saw Kid Rock execute Morgan's padawan over a cantaloupe - and they played it for a pocket-sized version of last year's "who got killed?" cliffhanger. Like, of course it doesn't even stick out. The show has given us zero reason to stay invested in any of these characters.

galenanorth posted:Come to think of it, it doesn't make sense that he's going to walk all that way when it's probably a lot longer than the distance The Kingdom drove the truck in this episode. Also, I don't know why Hilltop and not Alexandria. The Saviors only show up occasionally and all else being equal, !" AgentJotun posted:Lets all of us just stand here while this newcomer strangles one of the top Kingdom men to death. He must have good reasons. Bates posted: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.

coyo7e posted:Honestly Saviors do not give any fucks about what communities do to their own. If it doesn't directly threaten them they have been proven to just stand aside and laugh at the show. Right, but I was thinking more from the Kingdom peoples perspective. Theres like 6 of them just standing there while a semi outsider kills one of their own.

Ezekiel's look when Morgan was going all Cain and Abel on the one dude was the look I would expect of someone who opened their car door and saw a steaming human turd. Just a mix of shock and disgust.

There's some dumb poo poo and terrible changes in the show like turning an awesome as hell dread pirate into a Trump like joke for one that wants to keep proclaiming the size of his dick, but it's still leaps and bounds over most shows. Better Call Saul and a few Netflix shows are the only things in the ballpark.

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.

Part of it is probably The Saviors being dicks, ie "The terms of the deal are you will always come to each drop of fruit with a cargo truck, 2 other vehicles, and 6 men and if you ever change this in any way, not matter what the cargo, you are failing to live up to the agreement."

Yeah when they were strapping down the little baby crate and putting a few cantaloupes in it even the kingdom people looked like they knew it was stupid. It's just another method of control like Negan's whole hatchet trip with Rick. The whole point is that they are doing what you tell them to do, which means the less sense it makes and the stupider it is the less they like it and the more you get across the point that you are the post apocalyptic boss that makes the rules. They should be glad Negan isn't demanding a finger each time or that everyone wear evening dresses or something. Dolphin posted:Ensuring the loyalty of a vassal: priceless. Exactly. I love to make fun of how stupid TWD has become but this is one, rare, thing that actually makes sense. quote:"In case you haven't caught on, I just slipped my dick down your throat and you thanked me for it." It's all psychological, like making everyone say "I am Negan." Space Crabs fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Mar 14, 2017 |
