dangerdoom volvo posted:i hope they show foxes banging Having read 2 of the books (and hating the second) this is my chief hope for the show. Actually I haven't minded it so far, but it also hasn't yet devolved into my alternate title for the books - Jersey Shore: Hogwarts Edition.

Noam Chomsky posted:Does anyone know why all SyFy shows are cheesy and poorly made and poorly acted? Even their better stuff just comes off as flat. Other networks and Netflix seem to do more with less or similar. So, what the gently caress is the issue is with SyFy? Because they have no budget.

Noam Chomsky posted:Sad that he sold the rights to SyFy. The show would've been great on HBO. Low budget trashy Syfy channel is exactly where this belongs to me.

Noam Chomsky posted:Because you don't like the books? I liked the first one enough to read the second one and haven't gotten around to the third, so it's not as if I hated them. But the books (that I did read) were pretty trashy and I think SyFy is going in the right direction with all this. Magic is a drug *dubstep breakdown*

Noam Chomsky posted:You're insane. Even if the books are trashy - and I don't think they are - it doesn't have to mean poorly cast, poorly written, and poorly produced. The show is just garbage and it would be garbage even if it stayed close to the books. Poorly written I'll give you. None of the rest really bothers me, but I obviously have different expectations.

Femur posted:If magic were an addictive drug, that school should be a lot meaner, not some ivy league deal. This may or may not be addressed to your liking by the time they graduate. They've already alluded to a lot of suicides/disappearances.

Botnit posted:I didn't finish the first book but the game made no sense at all to me, it came across as one of the very big examples in my mind that I was reading a really lovely "adult" Harry Potter knockoff where he looked at quidditch and thought "I can make something like that" when no, you clearly couldn't. Then tried making it as meta as possible by saying how a lot of the characters didn't even understand it. Finally someone else who gets it.

Tiggum posted:No. (I haven't read the books so this isn't based on the show being different). Most of the characters barely exist as people, the plot is basically non-existent (although that's sort of starting to change), there's no sense of what's at stake or how anything works, so it's very hard to care about anything that happens. It's not exactly bad, it's just very mediocre. There's really nothing about it that stands out in any way. Congratulations, you may as well have read the books! Reminder, the author is a sports journalist.

Bobatron posted:I like that this show is different than the books but at same time, the Antarctica scene in the books had a lot good parts that the show cut or butchered I am a little disappointed. They could have showed how difficult magic was instead the show makes it just kind of look like hogwarts for adults. That's what the books were like too. At best they TOLD you magic was really hard, but it still just kind of happened. Guy's a sports journalist, what do you expect? The show does have major problems with the passage of time, but that's also something I remember being pretty bad in the books too.

muscles like this? posted:The connection between the Beast, Jane Chatwin and Fillory will all eventually be explained. They mentioned in the first episode that Jane and her siblings were real children and the Fillory books were written by their neighbor based on stories they would tell him. I doesn't make much more sense in the books other than Quentin has terrible taste and loved The Not-Chronicles of Narnia which are actually real because magic.

coyo7e posted:Well that's kind of the entire point of the first book so yeah In fairness they either haven't gotten to, or don't plan to get to, the part where they just gently caress around and party and do drugs all day like Jersey Shore and get all nihilistic for a few months which would make that theme a bit more clear..
