You guys have me convinced to go back and watch FTWD from season 3 onwards. Now STFU about FTWD in this thread.

I'm 99% sure none of TWD has been shot on film in a few seasons. The grain is really inconsistent vs what the ISO should be, and it's visually identical when its overlayed on VFX. If you look at YouTube clips and other "online sources" of it with medium-bitrates, its also really clean and noise free. Those codecs are really good at accidentally removing completely random noise, but usually leave some when its film grain. I think they're just adding it in.

The bomb is the core of a failing nuclear power plant, whose remaining skeleton crew decided the only way to stop the zombie menace is to trigger a meltdown. They race into action, only to be waylaid by whispered/grumbled one on one conversations that eat up a few more hours. *the core’s going critical, Jack’s not going to make it (because why god, Rick stop talking about the time you ate some chicken wings so spicy it was like a nuclear meltdown in your mouth). Suddenly, someone emerges from the shadows, hitting the emergency off switch in the nick of time* ‘Heath?! We thought you were dead! You’ve been missing for weeks.’ ‘Had to make a run, got caught up.

Did the Saviors really only have 3 settlements under their control? I kept thinking we'd find out about more I don't count trashkrew Also, did we ever find out what Jadis was haggling with Negan in the tiger attack finale at Alexandria? Was it just people to use as sex slaves? Also also, did all of trashkrew have Ikea container houses?

Just caught the pilot of FTWD and it feels incredibly like someone on TWD played The Last of Us and thought "oh, hey that's a much better vibe". Does it maintain this in any way or does it eventually fall into TWD tropes?

As the thread is really convinced of, myself included, season 1 sucked and 2 was erratic. 3 is when it gets good. But when it gets good it's better than the last like 5 seasons of TWD, possibly combined. LadyPictureShow posted:LOL.

moist turtleneck posted:Darabont was gonna do it!! I feel like the reason it wasn't was, again, 'no budget allocated to a cool idea'. Or maybe it's just Kirkman wanting to keep the 'mystery' of how it all happened at the start, which wouldn't surprise me since he thinks a bit too highly of all this poo poo and likely doesn't realize that not describing it more is just making most folks go 'Oh come the gently caress on! You likely won't be able to make it that interesting, just flesh it out already goddamit and that's at least something rather than more nothing bullshit mystery!' Then again, I guess that's why I just find World War Z's premise a bit more interesting. CrazyLoon fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Apr 17, 2018 |

Despite the prevailing opinion of the thread, I don't think seasons 1 and 2 of FTWD are boring or bad, but good and watching them should be encouraged There is lots of great character development with Nick, Travis has a great arc with his son, Strand is fascinating and so is Daniel. And it's cool seeing some of the characters with weaker plotlines actually leap from nobodies to somebodies by season 3. Especially digestible now that it's binge-watchable To me and my gf, coming off of TWD to watch the whole thing at the end of S7, we were in awe at how much more we were enjoying it than TWD, so I wouldn't skip any of it

From my POV I'm not looking for grade A TV from FTWD, but rather something that doesn't sit in neutral for, by now, all but 2 episodes of the season whilst people stage whisper their feelings. S8 of TWD has been the worst series I've chosen to watch. I even denied watching the show to a colleague recently as I couldn't think of a way to defend my choice to do so. The worst part of S8 is that NO ONE cares. Even the extras they're using have gotten noticeably worse. There was some good stunt work in the early sessons. Now whenever someone gets shot it looks like they filmed the first practice of ”ok fall to your knees then roll forwards".

For real, are we supposed to be happy Rick won? Negan is clearly considering Coral's path forward. He wants the kid to be wrong, but it's there in his eyes. You could have had this be a moment of compromise and reconciliation. Like, that could have led to interesting things. Like how do you move forward, how do you come to terms with to unification of two groups who have had family and friends killed by each other. There are societal precedents too, but it's hard stuff, it's interesting stuff. Combined with the pressures of zombies and resource building/depletion you have plenty of scenarios were you would have your new goals and alliances both stressed and strengthened. But naw, lol Rick didn't actually learn anything from Coral's death other than to decide to psychologically abuse a dude for the rest of his life in order to prove the point that the Ricktatorship is law. Hell, you want people do want a coup? How about make it against how Rick is an unstable, immoral, hypocrite, who will change his mind and plans at random and expect everyone to follow.

Watched Fear last night, and even though you knew none of the good guys were going to get killed, that fight scene at the trailer park(?) was pretty tight. When Morgan and bad guy fell through that roof, the shot of all those zombies taking notice just seemed so creepy and claustrophobic as bad guy got eaten and Morgan saw how many there were. I liked John and Althea right off the bat. Even more so when Morgan said ‘There was a king. He had a tiger.’ and they were just like ‘get the gently caress outta here with that bullshit’.

You could have had this be a moment of compromise and reconciliation. You know, there's a lot of things wrong with this show right now...but Rick's decision is not one of them. Remember the Governor? Remember Shane? Remember how they very briefly tried to do things another way? Remember how disasterously those both ended up? Well unfortunately, that's the way things tend to be with anyone who tries to live such a radically different life. Whether it's recovering alcoholics, thieves, career criminals, those with anorexia, narcissists... Their transformation tends to be a complicated, messy, and infuriatingly slow process with plenty of relapses along the way. Even when they actually stick to it (and even THAT'S a pretty big assumption), it will often take like, 10+ years before they've given up their ways completely. It's part of the reason why our prison system has gotten as bloated as it has. Most criminals CAN change, given the right circumstances...but helping just one of them involves a ton of time, money, and effort invested into helping them through each and every one of their own unique daddy/mommy issues, their own unique mental disorders, and their own unique personality flaws. Yes; Negan briefly showed regret and remorse in that one fleeting moment. But that's one moment against two whole seasons of dominating, killing, and mentally breaking people while smiling like the Cheshire Cat. THIS, is what his "saving people" generally looked like... Negan Wants to Bang Maggie ...and this... Negan Kills Spencer and Smiles About It ...as well as this... Negan Tells Daryl About Dwight's Backstory ...with a bit of this on top, for good measure... Negan Kisses Dwight's Wife in Front of Him ...complete with a lovely review from someone else about what life under Negan is like! Gordon Begs Dwight to Kill Him Negan wasn't just brutal. He actively enjoyed a lot of what he did. And even if he didn't, he and Rick were still in the middle of a war. Rick didn't reasonably have a lot of options BUT to either kill him, jail him, or cripple him in some way. The guy was just too dangerous.

They've definitely been trying to white wash Negan this past season though, make him seem more misguided than you know what all the above evidence shows. I still stand by my assessment of Rick though.
