The love story made no sense.

Their love story is a time loop because the plot demanded it. That's it.

Part of Lindelofs whole bit with the love stories he writes is that most of them are tragic. Every single couple on Lost either doesn't end up together or has a tragic ending aside from Desmond and Penny. The Leftovers is built on that as well.

The idea with the time loop is that despite both Angela and Jon know that it's gonna end badly, they still get together and play the whole thing out anyways is the tragic aspect. It's very Norse mythos-esque. Despite that It doesn't work because the relationship doesn't anchor the show thematically until the end. Before that it was a show about the emotional and psychological damages that are caused from either personal or family history then it switches gears.

I feel the exact same way about Leftovers and boy howdy is that a controversial opinion in TVIV

The Leftovers is interesting because while individual scenes reach some impressive heights (the long shot of entering the town of Miracle gave me chills, ngl), the series just doesn't hold up as an overall narrative - too many subplots that are left unresolved or resolved in the worst or laziest way possible. The whole is far less than the sum of its parts.

the problem is watching a Lindelof show for a narrative. that poo poo didn’t make sense at all in The Leftovers. but when it comes to mood, feelings, visuals, and loose thematic exploration I think it did exceptionally well - primarily because of the perfect cast. you replace Kevin or Nora or Matt or Patti or Erika the show doesn’t even work on a basic performance level

like Nora’s monologue at the end, if you’re watching for the story, in terms of narrative is wholly a copout and really stupid and silly. but it isn’t about the particular events she’s describing at all in my opinion and Carrie Coon knocks it out of the gosh darn zip code

no idea why so much of the western animation industry is so loving stagnant and shits out stuff that looks like that or family guy and basically nothing else.

i know americans especially dont take animation as a medium seriously in the slightest but drat i thought it'd be at least a little better by now

the streaming service algorithm probably tells you which style to pick when you pitch animation now. family guy for grossout comedy. ricken morty for epic nerd comedy. fake tumblr anime for zoomer-targeted shipping bait crap that will get all the creators harassed in about two years time

honestly I’d rather see a bunch of South Park animation clones than whatever the gently caress this is. it’s completely lacking in artistry or humanity. like even Family Guy or Bobs Burgers - neither of which I like - feel like they have a unifying vision when it comes to the animation. this poo poo has less soul than the animation for The General commercials
