BF2S Forums Rate the last TV Show you've seen

That's just the superhero genre though. Comic books make fun and poke holes in themselves often enough that it's kind of hard to distinguish.

I am watching season 4, its the only show I watch.

Its now really a succession of scenes which may be in the past, the now or the future, its hard to say.

Did anyone watch the new GoT yesterday? I didn't.

You'll have to drag me kicking and screaming into any new kind of GoT. Most new TV shows for that matter. Give me something with a beginning and an end. I don't want to invest 480 minutes or whatever just to get the rug pulled out from under me without a proper conclusion.

I didn't watch the new show just because I am still a sour bitch over the ending of the original game of thrones. But the story this show is based on does have a completed ending.

Watched Amazon's new Middle Earth trailer. Dwarf woman still doesn't have beard.

Also quite frustrating that nobody has the balls to do anything with the blue wizards and less addressed lands away from places like Gondor, Mordor, and Erebor. Give me some drama from the land of Rhûn! I don't care if it gets fanficky with a lack of source material.

The above shows have been coming out ranging for like a half a century. There's probably people twice my age playing D&D. I'm quite happy to wash my hands of most of it, but tend to not look down on people for having their nostalgic comforts, unless they cross over into claims like it all being "so much better than your boring dramas."

That said, this new middle earth thing really seems like it's trying to be a quiet release. Out like Sep 1 and I've barely seen any amazon ads about it.

The Amazon MMO had a bit of a rough launch. I'd guess it's all ironed out by now, but I just don't have the long-term gaming bandwidth to dedicate to something like that. Ark went 100% free-to-get for a time, but I haven't even installed it yet. It too is a sink from everything I'm told.

I don't really understand their marketing for the LOTR show. It feels like it was barely promoted on the site, or somehow I was just missed in a lot of advertising. I don't really see it anywhere else unless in the nerd section of an e-mag. I would've thought I'd be hearing no end of it all year long for a Sep release.

Worse off, I think a new Batman universe film was entirely shit-canned after completion. Not even a straight-to-stream release, lmao. Imagine getting news of that in your inbox after your wrap party. Hopefully everyone gets paid in full, but it still kind of sucks to not see your work even if it's for *gag* DC.

this thread is deeply gay. all the shows you guys talk about sound like serialised cucking. who could possibly give a fuck about any of this shit?

‘oh? a new hot turd that requires 40 hours of my life? i’m all in!’

read a book you fucking losers.

i'm honestly just astonished that people are still getting excited about the same 3 fucking extended universes.

how many times are you going to get excited about a different coloured light-saber or a baby yoda? jesus christ, ask for better.

you really do make some crackpost arguments for a grown man. you make me facepalm, honestly.

'the marvel universe is as valid as all that MADE-UP fantasy religion stuff!!!!!'

you're like a pound-shop version of dawkins. even your polemics can't be bothered and taste like diluted milk.

a more germane comparison would be to the pantheon of ancient greek or rome, with their panoply of myths, legends, drama and theatre, etc.

but you're off tilting at windmills over jews and muslims again. oh dear, oh very dear.

my point is pretty simple. if you look at the proportion of new movies today which are either (a) sequels or (b) part of a franchise, that proportion has increased hugely since, say, the 1990s. only the teensiest fraction of new movies in hollywood's golden age, for instance, were sequels or franchises. we live in an era of mass-produced and derivative rubbish. this is a pretty uncontroversial take, dilbert. if martin scorsese can start debates in the film press over this issue, it hardly suggests i'm making some frivolous or quizzical argument.

if you want to elevate wonder woman and captain america to the status of de facto deities and put great stock and 'value' in them, well you do you, my guy. being defensive over pulpy comics made for children and illiterate GIs ... sad ! imagine pretending that you can take offense at people being mean about franchise movies or star wars tv spin-offs in the same way that people take offense when you insult their faith and belief system. do you pray every day to yoda and live your life in accordance with jedi principles?

you are a fucking moron, fair play.

no, they were not. perhaps put the cultural studies ambitions on hold for now. you need to do a bit more homework.
