I have no idea what the ideology of tonight's Masters of the Air was. Nazis bad? Luftwaffe good? German children good? German farmers and civilians bad? American POWs getting shoved into a boxcar bad? A train full of Jews in a worse boxcar slowly passing worse? (In October '43, when the main period of deportations was over, Treblinka was already closing).

"Those poor civilians (PS the RAF did it!)" turning into an extremely gratuitous lynching was also deeply weird in terms of the tone being all over the place. A woman pushing a stroller beats a POW to death with a bottle? The American flyer is saved the following day by the loving rural bumpkin Landespolizei. In conclusion, kill 'em all, Bomber Harris did nothing wrong, I guess?

90 seconds into the Netflix Avatar, and firebending really suffers from the well-known Wolverine's Claws Problem. I thought this in the cartoon too but it's even more stark live action somehow e: 4 minutes in, wow maybe they'll really just go for it indigi has issued a correction as of 22:14 on Feb 24, 2024 |

well, episode one was way better than I was expecting, but they cover about the same amount of plot as the 23 minute pilot. I can already feel the pacing coming off the rails

it's funny how the new ATLA is supposed to be more mature but it feels like they nerfed fire bending even harder than the cartoon. comet empowered fire benders were total push overs. they should be roasting whole city blocks with one punch and they can barely win a duel rofl. i couldn't finish ep1 it was so bad.

so im watching the promised land and im intrigued by the fact that despite the marketing material calling this movie a western its much more accurately described as a modern antebellum narrative which is to say that its basically a story about how the aristocracy consists entirely of corrupt pieces of poo poo who treat most people in their country like garbage and treat their slaves even worse than that mostly because nobodys even trying to stop them the main irony of all this is that since the story takes place in eighteenth century denmark and not the nineteenth century united states the implication is clearly that the exploitation in both cases is caused by a political system which prioritizes the arbitrary whims of the wealthy over literally any other possible priority so i can see why this aspect is not being strongly emphasized

idk but yeah it's not good. it's still way better than I thought it would be. none of the kids can really act which sinks the entire venture before it gets out of dry dock. but when they're fighting it's pretty cool, the music is well done, it's shot decently for a streamer, the sets and wardrobe are surprisingly good, and it's well-lit (mostly) for a Netflix show. that could be cause a lot of it is outside so they didn’t have much choice, I guess we'll see. I'll wind up watching it all at the gym/work unless it really sucks poo poo, which is possible.

Maybe we could stop trying to remake the thing that was real good to begin with??? Maybe we could like make new shows in the same setting??? Or remake Korra at least, the show that would benefit from it.

Is True Detective: Night Country worth watching? It seems folks don't like it online, and it is giving me Ghostbusters vibes, where IdPol is being used to defend a terrible product.

Okuteru posted:Is True Detective: Night Country worth watching? I liked it, but it's absolutely got some flaws. Some great performances. I think there's something interesting in the way that it decoheres towards the end of its run. The relevant plot mechanics broadly make sense but the greater metaphysical elements, though unambiguously present from the start, have an ambivalent presence within the narrative. Some cool class/decolonisation elements.

Isn't that exactly like the first season then? In that Carcosa and the yellow king are mentioned very early on but none of that stuff actually matters beyond giving the show a slight magical realism vibe.

Unless I'm misremembering, the first season was ambiguous about whether the fantasy elements were real. In Night Country there are a handful of elements where the fantasy is definitely real, but even so it's not clear whether they're behind several other incidents we see.

The dialogue is also clunky and inorganic at times which bothered me. NC didn’t work for me although I wanted it to as a Thing fan. i dropped off after episode 2

I'm still mad about the first season of True Detective Because I feel like there's all this stuff about a wider conspiracy at first and then later it's like nah it was just this one dude. There was a conspiracy around the one dude, but he did all the bad stuff. The first few episodes of every season of True Detective hints and promises a bigger and crazier world than they ever deliver on. It's like being promised sex and a three course dinner and having that promise fulfilled by a bag of chips and a begloved handjob
