So can I just say the show sucks but Ogg rules

Ogg said he’s seen firsthand what social media can do to a person, and he’s tired of it.

“It makes me loving sick,” he told HuffPost. “It’s just disgusting.”

“It makes me sick that these trolls and these people can say stuff, because, again, the social anonymity of it is what allows people somehow the right to just say whatever the gently caress they want,” he said. “And you know what? If you want to loving beak off like that, then why don’t you post your name — your full name, not your Twitter name, not your handle, not your bullshit, whatever made-up stuff you do. Print your real name. Print your real phone number. Print your real address. Step up. Don’t just hide behind this anonymity and say whatever you want. That poo poo pisses me off. ”

“I’ve had personal experiences, and I’ve been through stuff,” Ogg added. “But again, it does affect you, but you have to quickly go, it’s bottom feeders, right? It’s catfish. It’s people that are eating the loving poo poo out of the hippo tank, and that’s how you’re spending your time? It’s sad.”

For the record he's responding to actual trolls doing poo poo like sending Eugene's actor death threats, not people who think Scott Gimple blows

ED: Also apparently Andrew Lincoln broke Jeffery Dean Morgan's nose in a that fight scene. I really like JDM but man, in an actual bare knuckled brawl I do actually think both Ogg and Lincoln could take him real easy which does carry over a bit to the Negan fight scenes.

So i saw some poo poo preview where Eugene is handing negan a gun to brast with to showcase his incredible bullets (also eugene and gabriel running about in the woods it seems like).

But to me it seems like just by having a scene like that means that the rest of the ammo is probably tinkered with and it's just one of their "clever" ruses to fool the viewers for 5 minutes. That's my prediction anyway that ever since his plan to get rosita to go topless by vomiting on her failed he now needs to put all of his gamer pride into making amends so that they can both live. Then it's time for the next step in Eugene's plan.... whatever it may be.

Actually what was funnier is that both Rosita and Darryl thought Eugene could make it all the way down that long street with no other apparent exits before either of them could make it to the fence.

Negan was/is a terribly written villain in the comics (I read until around issue 130). One of the very few things he had going for him was being physically intimidating. JDM is skinny and always looks like his (making GBS threads?) pants are about to drop down. That is the least of this character's problems though. They took an already bad comic book villain and made him even worse.

Do you suppose the writers are just dumb, lazy or if there's no money to work with?

Myron
Jul 13, 2009

They're mostly lazy, because the show keeps making them money no matter how bad it gets so why bother. Also, for the same reason, AMC keeps lowering the budget, which gives them even less incentive to care. You could still come up with something significantly better, so they're probably dumb too. (Or they just use creative writing excercises from students and use them virtually unedited as scripts).

some of this poo poo is the director and editor's fault too tho, the negan scene last week where he magicked up a gun and a loving lit flare out of no where in 0.02 seconds between cuts to garbage lady scampering around or whatever, that's a very good example. nobody on the show gives a poo poo except for the big main actors and actresses who are getting many dollars and have to at least look like they're trying. the only person on the show who is actually putting consistently decent effort into what they're doing is bear mccreary lmao

I think whatever budget they have is being wasted on ever-more extravagant and disgusting zombie incarnations. I think at this point zombies should just lurk in the background, minimal makeup. Take the savings and hire better editors who can assemble a fight scene so you can tell who's shooting at who.

Eugene puking on Rosita to make his escape was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TWD. I know I've dropped my standards a lot for this show and the scene wasn't exactly realistic, but I immediately burst out laughing when it happened. That was some Nick from ftwd level poo poo right there and I loved it.

It is in fact extremely realistic. Half digested garlic&sardine-mac&cheese is biochemical warfare more caustic than the poo poo that dilophosaurus coughed into Newman's face in Jurassic Park. The stench and additional humiliation of losing to Eugene nullified Rosita's neural capacity to react in time

There is no way that it is not completely intentional at this point. Nobody could possibly write this badly unless that is the goal.

Eugene uses Toxic Hurl against Rosita.

I don't blame him. Nobody can beat Negan's plot armor, not even Trevor.

I can only hope other shows are out there going "Welp, he's available now, let's hire him." I kind of want him to join some show where he's sort of on the side of the good guys. He's a great anti-hero.

Oceanside might be the dumbest loving settlement they have. They're even dumber than the trash people.

Running around with spears yet didn't have a single fucker on patrol with guns when they actually had guns. Constantly acting standoffish and dickish to people like they're somehow a superior culture, when they're actually just a bunch of refugees, not an Amazon tribe. Then the fact they're still just chill despite knowing their enemies could find them now, not to mention the fact they stayed like 2 days away from the loving Saviors instead of getting the hell out of the state.

The Trash People are more overtly stupid, but at least they were entertaining with their Silent Hill fan art leader. Oceanside is just stupid-stupid. Their long term plan is stupid too, given that there's zero chance of expanding their population by A) Trying to murder all outsiders and B) Ya'know, all the dudes are dead.

ED: That episode where Rick stole their guns with the uplifting 'band together' battle.. holy gently caress. They had to write them like total idiots to avoid a massacre. Rick's plan should have gotten like 20-30 people killed on both sides just by virtue of 'The people with all the guns PROBABLY ARE CARRYING GUNS.' gently caress me this show has been dumb as gently caress for ages.

ED: To continue that rant I'd also like to point out at the time they were on high alert looking out for Saviors and they had no way to know who's crew was hitting them, but everyone just surrendered immediately except crazy lady, given they only had sharp sticks anyway. I can't wait for them to write more female empowerment episodes showing Oceanside as spear wielding warrior women while also writing them as the people who surrendered in like less than 90 seconds to like 10 people with rifles. Zero thought put into their civilization or any episode relating to them, really.

He did go and eat some spaghetti with The Gays a couple seasons ago. Remember when they introduced The Gays to the show and then immediately hid the other guy for several seasons and just had Aaron there to fill the quota. It's kinda like that Manchonne character and a few others who they introduce into the show and then all they do is make one cameo per season.

Maybe they shouldn't have 30+ guys battling for screentime?
