We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Am I bumping this thread just because I wanted to share season 3 promo artwork? Yes I am.

I couldn't find a collection of all of them, but Marvel has been advertising this show in all my Marvel comics for the last month. Usually they're page #2 (back of the front cover), and they're stunning.

Edit: Ugh they put season 2 out on DVD only.

So David definitely wants to go back in time and either kill his father or just erase himself from existence.

Excellent premiere. Glad to see the show hasn't lost a step in the "trippy visual" department, and the time traveler presents some fun possibilities.

Unfortunately, Syd is pretty clearly guilty of rape herself (ie: her mom’s boyfriend), and both the writers and many viewers seem to have given her a pass on that because she was a lonely disturbed teen. So we’ll see if they deal with David’s rehabilitation any better; I hope they do.

e: oops, that was an old post. Sorry about that!

Syd is guilty of it, but they spent a whole episode in season 2 dealing with it and David willing to look past it, although maybe that's because he was just desperate for love and attention.

Everyone's hosed up on the show, more or less.

Second time travel scene of David leading Switch through the hallway kinda reminded me of the first season with the escape from Division 3. Kind of messed up that David takes like 30 seconds to kill the Division 3 guy capturing Switch.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Letting his recruits fight with trained soldiers, which he is willing to kill without hesitation.
Not to mention just reading minds without the slightest notion of consent, and building a loving love cult to himself.

I'm wondering just how close to the abyss David would go before he's willing to concede that he actually needs people who'd keep him in check.

Sorry, guy.
This show is still a bit up its own rear end, but S3 has the kind of “gently caress it let’s go all out”-ness to it that I am fully on board with and I am thoroughly entertained. S2 was a lot of “nah let’s not advance the narrative much and instead deviate to weird conversations.”

If you’re gonna be prone to flights of fancy and tangents, go the gently caress all out.

I’m 100% back in.

I can't believe I've seen a stage hook in 2019, in a live action show, in a scene that has nothing to do with theatre.

I was getting excited to see some sort of weird superpower dude who wields cartoon props and makes things go all toontown but the semi-fakeout reveal of it just being standard armed goons with a giant cane was pretty :golfclap:

This was a really strong start.

I loved the clear pipe representing (I assume) how hidden and secure David's hideout was and how to get to him, you have to go through the in-between places.

I thought that it was a clever way to represent Farok's power or something to remove him then laughed out loud at the replay.

The real joke here is that it wasn’t even a mind-magic hook. THEY LITERALLY HAD A GIANT COMICAL HOOK. I had assumed Faroukh had done that with his brain at first...


I just read an IGN review of the first six eps that praised last night but said it was a shame the following 5 eps seemed really hollow after it and that they overuse the musical numbers.

Boo.

Was Syd holding a tooth at the end? and did that belong to Switch?

Offhand it seems like there is something where David can't protect himself from Syd. She wastes him 2 times and you can see other randoms shoot at him and not really get anything done even when he doesn't see it coming. Maybe its degrees of people he cares about who can do him harm because kerry got to chop his arm off. Or maybe its the end of scarface twice.

When she was time traveling earlier she wiggled a tooth. Guessing that means each time she jumps she causes damage to herself

Ya it was when she went thru the door to Farouk. I'm. Guessing bigger jump, you lose more of yourself
