Bound 2 is amazing and that video is even better. Cause it's Kanye premiering that on the loving Ellen Degeneres show, and not giving a gently caress.

Korra is sketch comedy. Sleepy Hollow is an anime. Scandal is a superhero genre show. SNL is an anti-hero drama. And Parks and Recreation is a supernatural thriller.

In all honesty it would actually be kind of cool if shows did a Secret Santa genre swap at the holidays just for fun.

Would watch the poo poo out of this.

On the Surface Heroes Reborn isn't a bad idea. Make a couple of 12 episode miniseries, with completely new casts(I mean besides Ali Larter) each series and tell a short story. And as long as they promote it like "We hosed up, this time we are doing it more like season one" It will probably cause people to give it at least 1-2 Episodes.

I mean it's not going to end up that way. And Will more than likely be terrible. But I can't fault NBC for trying. Heroes was pretty big overseas even as it lost ratings here.

Plus what is Ali Larter doing nowadays anyway.

Cardboard Box A posted:

Imagine a show so bad it actually turns people off of TV/your network altogether. As in it produces a net loss of viewers for other shows.

Arrow is probably to blame for convincing the execs that Superheroes on TV can be a thing again... and then someone said "hey don't we own a Superhero franchise" and no one chimed in with "Yeah we do... THE CAPE" before some idiot mentioned Heroes first.

Think about it NBC, The Cape Reborn is your answer to Arrow.

I mean Arrow's great and all, but I'm pretty sure that's not why they are doing it. It's probably more "We have absolutely nothing in the pipeline that we have any faith in, Quick lets bring back something that was pretty good for us."

Ruh roh Gotham sounds Real Bad. (if it's a real script, which I believe because it's funnier if it's true)

Well... So the goony computer guy that created the nanobots, who some people are thinking of as "God" and who have AI and so forth, he rewrites their code to give God a virus essentially. Then suddenly Aaron wakes up in a 2014 that's noticeably more modern than our own, and in the previews he insists that he was in a world where the power had gone out and nobody believes him, including the other characters on the show. So who knows what the gently caress is happening, it's crazy.

I'm not sure how much conflict there can be on the show after she sues her doctor for millions of dollars.

Pretty sure millions is understating it. Hundreds of Millions is probably a bit closer. That Hospital would be fuuuucked.

I really wonder what the writers think they're doing. Because even assuming the people who sperg about SYMBOLISM in the thread are right, not just about this but about other things like BMO being a metaphor for transsexuals, it doesn't actually add anything. It just shows a massive misassumption about who they think the show should be for. Making a children's show with mature themes is fine but not when you bury those themes so deeply in silly jokes and abstractions that I can't imagine children getting anything they're trying to say. They've made a kid's show kids can't even understand.

Children aren't supposed to get those jokes, those jokes are specifically for adults who are watching those shows with their kids(Or Goons)

The Children when they are older will then look back and realize that those jokes went completely over their head.

I've rewatched some of Rocko's Modern Life recently and some of those jokes are great.
