I didn't watch Lost but I respect what it did for TV, especially network TV. I just want prestige dramas again, dammit. The main character doesn't have to be a white man, you know! I have a theory that Louie-likes are the reason why we don't see Sopranos-style dramas anymore. For some people, it scratches both the itch for serious, character-driven stories and comedy, since it has jokes here and there. Most of them manage to do neither things well. I suppose with the first season of Insecure, the first half did comedy well and the second half did drama well, but it didn't do both at the same time. The two seasons that came after are a complete waste of time, and I won't bother watching the upcoming fourth.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:I feel like Game of Thrones will have zero staying power and just fade from the zeitgeist, versus something like Mad Men or Breaking Bad that people still talk about years later. For a show that was so popular while on the air, it seems like a lot of the interest in it was in participatory stuff like watching it together with a huge crowd or doing twitter jokes, or just talking about it at work on Monday morning. i feel like the show will stick around if only because the first half or so was pretty great and ok up until the last seasons. there are too many people like my GF for it to fade away completely. great stuff as always.

GoT always sucked and the only good ending would've been if the ice undead or whatever scoured the setting.

get that OUT of my face posted:I'll make note of that. I've heard it's good, but with critically acclaimed shows these days, you can never tell if you're going into something that's entertaining or something that's woke pandering. It's a Donald Glover show that he pitched as "Twin Peaks but with rappers." The pilot's a little weak in the middle, so maybe at least give it until the second episode if it doesn't click right away. It's something really cool with beautiful shots, insightful stuff and really funny moments. It's probably one of the few truly unique shows on TV.

I think it's more coincidence that he hits rebuild 3.33 now. Chuck has a gigantic backlog so I am fully capable of believing he only just got to the third film.

From what he said in the review, it was also a matter of him doing extensive research into the entire Evangelion franchise and fanbase in a futile effort to simply understand what the gently caress was trying to be expressed by 3.33 and failing miserable regardless.

The plot is very much not the point of 3.33, it goes absolutely all-in on the deep introspection and character study that made Eva what it is and couldn’t give less of a poo poo about anything else. It’s a bit of a mess. I love it.

Groovelord Neato posted:we already went over this in the actual got thread but "it was foreshadowed" isn't an excuse when the show is so terribly written and they speedran the past two-three seasons. no one said it is, it's more that some Hot Takes have acted like some of these things happened completely out of nowhere when they didn't, they were just lovely. You can be properly foreshadowed and lovely.

Like I said, the Rebuild films should have been titled Rehab, Recovery, Relapse, Resignation for the rollercoaster ride of Anno and the series writ large's mental state over the course of the last decade plus of its development purgatory.

Isn't the entire point of 3.33 that shinji going all burning hotbloodedness Gurren Lagann to save rei regardless of everything else was literally the worst possible thing he could have done and everyone hates him for being a gigantic fuckup because of it It's been a while since I saw it and it was the first release so I'm probably misremembering things

Yeah ive always felt the series sorta contrives ways to make shinji miserable. Oh you find unconditional love from someone else? You must murder him. You dont do anything and give in to your depression? The literal end of the world happens. You want to try and take initiative to save a person you truly care about? A smaller end of the world happens and everyone resents you for it i know a lot of it is anno calling out fans for being awful dumbfucks but still

Since I didn't watch Game of Thrones, my thought was that there was going to be a series for each one of the books. Game of Thrones would be the first series with its umpteen seasons, then they were going to continue it with a second series based on what happens in Clash of Kings.i am tim! posted:There’s a kid out there somewhere named Dovahkiin that’s gonna be eight this year. Somebody probably named their kid Heisenberg. Somewhere out there, there's a kid named Sephiroth. There's also possibly a kid named Turok, but at least he's got some money to fall back on (hopefully). TheMaestroso posted:The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel does both drama and comedy well, though leans more toward comedy (and it's great for it). I caught a bit of Ms. Maisel while someone was watching it, and there was a scene where this lady (Alex Borstein, I think) goes, "It been a real 'suck my donkey dick' kind of day." I didn't watch the whole thing, but that scene made me think it was worth checking out in full at some point. Plus it has Tony Shalhoub in it, and he always elevates anything he's in.
