It's really nice of the zombies to wait until the character is done giving their monologue before they attack. RIP cgi budget

Shneak posted:Surprisingly wasn't bad. On the one hand this, stuff happened, it focused on a few good characters without any bad ones, and a dude got graphically chopped in half with an axe  On the other hand it was lazily produced, really just one more day of stuntwork or a few hundred dollars more in special effects could have fixed this episode.

They're not even pretending guns have recoil anymore, it's awful to behold on a level that's starting to approach funny. So at least there's that.

Decent airsoft guns have moving parts and loving Freddie Wong has youtube tutorials on how to add muzzle flashes and ejecting brass from prop guns. What the hell?

OMG JC a Bomb! posted:Edit: The King found the only two guns on the planet with no ammo. I knew something like this would happen. Weren't the first 4 episodes supposed to be the good ones according to the writer or director? Makes you wonder how bad the rest of the season is going to be... buckle up kids.

Ok that car chase at the end was worse than ANYTHING in FWD. I know the gun fights have always been pretty bad especially this season but it's beyond comical now.

Every episode I get more confused about what is happening and who is on what side and why they didn't just pop Negan in the head when they had the chance. And now we don't even get awesome Tiger anymore?  Also what happened to Negan, is he still locked in a trailer or whatever?

Last we saw Negan he was in a toilet with priest dude. Presumably that was at “Sanctuary” and that’s why they needed/wanted to bring those machine guns back in. They needed them to clear out all the zombies. Anyway I misspoke, I was on episode 3 and just finished 4 so I’m caught up. I still think Jesus needs to die. Also what the hell kind of tiger gets killed by what are essentially humans without weapons. I mean I don’t really know much about tigers but it seems really unrealistic that it would have died like that.

They needed them to clear out all the zombies. Which is funny, because machine guns are poo poo for wiping out the dead, as evidenced by the number of the Kingdom people who stood up after being gunned down by said machine guns. Meanwhile, a couple of trucks could move the herd away from the sanctuary. Or they could go knife circle like alexandria and clean it up in an afternoon. Also, holy gently caress, I cannot deal with the bullet CGI in this show. I never, ever complain about bad CGI, but they keep focusing on cars getting shot with sparks flying off them, but without any visible damage afterwards. Doesn't this show have a budget of approximately eight billion dollars?

Well they killed the only likable character on the show. :/CODChimera posted:Is that really what they want the 50 cals for, to kill the zombies? It fits with the prevailing logic of the show. I mean the pinnacle of post-apocalyptic tactics is to band together in groups awkwardly firing at your enemies. unlawfulsoup fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Nov 13, 2017 |

People complaining about gun effects.. this episode the Tiger looked like a PS3 CGI cutscene with everyone awkwardly holding still around it.. then it obviously being rendered in a pack of zombies it could have EASILY just jumped through killed it because the CGI budget was too much for a show that can't animate muzzle flashes. Seriously if a tiger was surrounded by healthy badass living humans it could tear out/through them like paper. Tiger suicide. Who was this guy? He stole the loving show, it's like he's a time traveling 80s slasher villain.

I don't know the season 2 finale where an entire town of people fled a highly fortified gauntlet with a zombie moat to run straight to their deaths to avoid 6 guys with rifles who were stupid enough to walk through zombie moat so.. Also I could post the Chris crashing his car gif, but that was hilarious so it's forgiven. That said, holy gently caress it was really really really bad. A .50 vs Rick & Daryl on a bike and jeep should have been like 5 seconds of gunfire and two exploding vehicles

That was the worst scene in either zombie show and one of the worst scenes ever. Everything about it is just so...weird. It doesn't even look right as just a car chase before you get into the other aspects of it. It's straight up Looney Tunes. The only sad part is so few people are live posting we only got a couple of reactions but they're pretty on point. Also the car chase shocked me so much I didn't take in how silly the tigers death was. CODChimera fucked around with this message at 12:08 on Nov 13, 2017 |

That was loving amazing. It was so bad. Oh my god. The gunfight as they're loading the 50cals had the most obvious awful CGI I've ever seen from TWD. No ejecting brass. No recoil. Nothing. They were just pointing the weapons at each other.

I don't know why I didn't stop watching after the Glenn dumpster "fakeout". It was so goddamn obvious that he wasn't going to die and I knew it and yet I keep watching. I think I just have a compulsory need to finish things and should probably work on that.

The show isn't even trying to be entertainingly bad anymore, that episode was godawful. Boring monologues from a character whose backstory we've already found out, but they've gotta re-hash it out again Carol having how many spots to get the drop on these guys but instead she runs out of cover to get pinned down? She didn't shoot the tires? That dude driving the truck is prolly alive so we're gonna have a lame interrogation scene next ep. And that crash and Rick just popping up was FTWD's Chris driving levels of stupid Jerry's line of "thanks for bein such a cool dude" was literally the only good line, gently caress let's just have a spin-off of him axing zombies, Saviours, trees, the air, hell I'd watch him do a cooking show with his axe instead of this drivel

I realized I was only a season behind so I dipped into where I left off and the episode where Carol wakes up in the Kingdom is amazing. It's a shame that it sounds like this season goes down to poo poo again.

Michonne, Carl, and Rosita have essentially not been in the show this season. Rosita was pregnant - so maybe that's why she took some time off. But the other two are main characters who are just gone, hanging out in Alexandria. Is this how they are going to deal with her being in the Marvel movies now and him wanting to go to college?

I think it's safe to say their blank ammunition budget was used in the first episode. Not one of the weapons actually cycled in the last episode. Not one.

This episode was real bad from what I saw from the 5 minutes I took to skip through it to get the general jist. The highlight for me was when, during her epic save, Carol just sort of disinterestedly wiggles her gun around a bit to simulate recoil while bad CG flew out of the end of it. By next season they'll just have the cast use sticks for guns and make them do gun noises with their mouths.

My main complaint is still that nobody is doing anything in this show. There's no goal or objective. I guess the short term goal is to take down the Saviors but I can't even tell what theirfucking plan is. But other than that they aren't building towards anything. It's just yet even MORE terribly written "meta" talk about becoming a kind of person that can live in this zombie world. Like, loving hell man, we get it. People battle with reconciling who they were with who they are now but it's been like SEVEN FULL loving SEASONS OF NOTHING BUT THAT. MOVE ON. edit: Also the show looks like total dogshit because they shoot the majority of it NOT in the golden hours (just after sunrise and before sunset). I get this is probably for time reasons, you want to maximize your shootable light. But it feels so flat and just using natural light but not in a good way. Everything is just terribly muted and flatly lit and then they pop the saturation on the green for probably some stupid rear end reason.
