Don’t Ridiculousness do a ton of episodes a year? Seems fair to me, it may be a dumb show but there are still real people doing a lot of writing for it

The show when I've seen it seemed to pretty much a stream of YouTube videos and they'd pause between them to make comments. Even when it's just the most obvious joke or literally the top 10 comments doing the same variation of that joke, they don't have improv comedians around all the time so someone's gotta write it all down for the cast. And considering how much of it they put on constantly, these writers likely write the majority of what mtv airs in a year.

Also it's a show where they steal internet content and then two morons go "whoooooowww" at some guy getting a cactus to the balls. So I'm not sure these writers deserve raises.

Of course? And they deserve fair compensation and competitive salaries and a union, just like any other writers on television. Just because you think the writing is lovely and unfunny (which tbh it is) doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to live off of their work?

Okay, but they're not, like, the people that operate the machines at Northrop-Grumman that turn children into grist. They're just writers, it's fine that their job exists and they deserve a living wage even if they're doing bad work.

It is kind of funny how the new season of True Detective is a good example of how Executive Producers grow like barnacles on a TV show. Like if there's another season you can be sure that Jodie Foster's name is somehow still going to be on there. Kind of reminds me when all the Bryan Singer poo poo went down and the couple of shows with his name on them tried to get his credit removed. Legion was able to successfully do it since he never officially worked on the show but Gifted was stuck since he had actually directed the pilot.

DaveKap posted:I've never seen this show and your description makes it sound like Twitch streams where the streamer just reacts to stuff but it's on TV. Yeah that's a great comparison. Though Twitch versions often end up just being the person gawping at the video without anything to say or not being in the room, so props to MtV quality control I guess.

zoux posted:Unrelated to nudity....or is it: S2 of the Halo show is going to be a soft reboot “What if we make a Halo tv series but never actually go to Halo?” I also still find it intensely hilarious that they felt a need to pop Chief’s helmet off in the very first episode. The Mandalorian’s first season alone is proof that you can resist that urge at least until your finale and still have your hulking faceless protagonist of few words still be a compelling character and make the show work if you know what the gently caress you’re doing.

Were the last two movies well received? It might be a thing where they put the last two first so there will be a four hour period where those are on the guide so people scrolling through will see it, think "hey I like twilight" and then see that the first movie starts soon so they just leave the TV on MTV in the backgrond until the first movie starts up.

Mandalorian may be the only successful show where they don't show the protagonist's face for most of it, and they had Baby Yoda.muscles like this! posted:While season 1 definitely had problems I never really thought that Master Chief doing stuff outside of armor was part of it.

Mandalorian uses the helmet as a core theme throughout the show and is an important character trait that embodies the culture of his weird religious sect. There has never been a good reason, in-lore or otherwise, why Master Chief doesn't take off his helmet, and he even takes it off in the games, they just hide his face to be cute. The helmet is there because it looks better on video game box art. I have no idea why this is such a sticking point when that show has so many other, much bigger issues.
