there is something about that first RATM album that just gets me pumped, and seriously i can't think of any music that even comes close to how it makes me feel. It's so good for channelling something, it's ridiculous seriously

even that cover of Killing In The Name absolutely does it for me.

it's doing big numbers actually

There isn't really a definite number for what is a success or not when it comes to stream numbers. Box offices can be compared to the budget and such but they can just say '25 million watched our show this weekend, beating our expected number of *mumbles into arm*".

They are probably not going to axe it but it's either that they changing things up in response to feedback (lol not happening) or keep going.

this was the first episode I've watched and I enjoyed all the family and succession politicking. Paddy Considine especially is fun to watch.

then the battle happened and it somehow had less tension than the hunting scenes

it was like an early season episode of game of thrones had a battle from the last few seasons attached to the end.

the battle was well put together and got the narrative across well, which is something Game of thrones hosed up sometimes. the issue with the cave pirate battle was that the narrative was stupid.

even then, then good parts are...monothematic. even in literal Game Of Thrones, the game of thrones wasn't all that central and had a ton of interesting characters. only sadking is fun to watch and for now until the kiddos age up i'm standing by it. you're right that the politics stuff was more fun than the climax but there aren't enough angles or moving parts or something. where's (spider) varys, where's tyrion, where's arya, where's anyone that doesn't have a claim to the throne but still chews up screentime?

It's pretty much entirely lifted from the appendices of the LOTR books, and the credits explicitly spell this out, which is a hilarious concept to me even if I think the show is OK. Can't wait for the DUNC movie that's just someone reading off the dictionary at the end of the book.

imagine 4 different competing Dune prequels. One will be based on Dune's dictionary. Another based on the "non-canon" Dune Encyclopedia. A third on KJA's prequels. Finally one based on the Westwood games.

I didn't hate the two episodes. The narrative only works as a prequel; I didn't find myself caring much for these new characters, but it was nice to look at from its high budget. It probably could have used more scenes like killing the orc in the house so it doesn't feel like a series of RPG cutscenes.

I'm in no rush to watch the rest of the season.

It's kinda hilarious and demonstrative of capitalism brain when the people running these entertainment show networks nowadays don't seem to understand the base premises of entertainment and why people watch it.

Like, even back in the most cynical days, cartoon makers knew why kids watched cartoons and took advantage of it, Nick never let Nicktoons get proper finales because they wanted kids to keep watching reruns in hope of seeing new episodes.

Does remind me of New World basically demonstrating Amazon doesn't understand basic concepts of video games despite wanting to corner that market too.

Wwell that's just typical capital rot. But also a lot of it is like insane mega-millionaire failson neptoism and elite bring incestuous morons born into immense amounts of wealth and dont understand what to do with of it because they aren't very smart. like jeff bezos's former harvard cousin's brother vinny is totally good at TV he'll do a great job, btw how'd that prostitute i sent over last night work out? good? nice, alright yeah ill tell vinny he's going to make this great real killer tv show based on shanara. everyone loves fantasy! what can go wrong?

This comes up in the video games thread but this syndrome also prevalent in a lot of western big-publisher AA+ games just absolutely making GBS threads the bed so hard these days: the only thing they can churn out is remakes and sequels. new IP is basically dead and the hosed up thing is they can't even make anything good with their existing IP. look at all those remakes that are just dogshit like the gta ones or the tlous or failure of new rear end creed or far cry or saints row or the latest FIFA looked like buggy poo poo

I think the problem is that this stuff seems shat out with the bare minimum effort on the production side that doesn't involve special effects because A: they hate hate HATE having to pay writers, and 2: the only alternative to half-assing it is the special hell of design by committee that leads to poo poo like the Star Wars sequels.

But yeah, everyone who gets to make decisions is a useless failson so disconnected from the actual creative process they pretty much only can get in the way.
