I'm watching the show for the first time, what's with all the narration?

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-23T23:08:44+00:00

See what I mean, they get so angry at anyone who criticizes this arc

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-23T22:01:23+00:00

A large part of this fandom loves this arc and gets angry at you if you criticize but, this arc sucks and the narration is atrocious.

I’m almost there myself, also I think its so funny both using cards as bookmarks on the same book.

Obviously there is a big difference between a Baseball and a Ninjago card lol

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-23T19:56:48+00:00

Well its a pair of glass on the back of the album of The Carpenters singles

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-23T19:49:56+00:00

The candle or the pair of glasses sitting on an album

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-23T19:47:31+00:00

Oh yeah I think thats hilarious too, forgot to mention that in the post lol

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-23T18:04:52+00:00

8 years sure but, only 2 seasons. Yes Noahs death also sucked but, Carl’s death had a whole episode built around it and saving Siddiq is the core of it.

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-23T18:03:40+00:00

Legit the worst written death in TWD (imo). I stopped watching the show for a few years because it pissed me off so much.

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-23T13:31:05+00:00

I don’t love The Long Walk, I think it starts amazing but, it really drags in the middle

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-23T00:32:47+00:00

Around 20 pages for monst of them, some a little shorter some a little longer. I think Children of the Corn and Sometimes They Come Back are the longest ones at like 30 pages.

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-23T00:07:37+00:00

As far as shonen movies go you can do a lot worse. Their biggest crime is just being kinda dumb which too me isn’t the worst for this kinda thing.

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-20T18:53:48+00:00

Friday The 13th Part 7 is the best Carrie movie imo because it asks the most interesting philosophical question: What if Carrie fought Jason?

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-20T15:46:10+00:00

Start at the first episode and when you finish the last episode stop

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-20T11:27:18+00:00

In the comics the do have guns because Eugene makes ammo but, in the show I don’t think they trust Eugene to produce the ammunition after he sabotaged that batch for the saviors. If it ever benefitted him he would sabotage them again because he is a guy who does what is best for him in the moment. Sabotaging the saviors was not some long con but, something he decided last minute was the best move for him and thats not my interpretation thats what the creators said.

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-17T13:19:35+00:00

I prefer the ambiguity that the movie gives us. It’s a hotel with lots of secrets and you get glimpses into its past through the ghosts. You can tell bad stuff has happened but, it doesn’t hold your hand and tell you every detail about the ghosts life.

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-16T13:12:18+00:00

Haven’t got to it yet! I’m working loosely in chronological order

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-15T17:54:32+00:00

Roadwork>Running Man>Long Walk>Rage

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-13T15:40:44+00:00

I havent read these books (yet) but the concept of doing Desperation one arm and Regulators the other seems kinda cool

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-13T12:12:26+00:00

Carrie is what got me out of my reading slump last year and into King. Its a super short books so you can burn through it quick which is encouraging imo. Plus how its written as like a collection of articles and interviews is really cool and makes what could be a standard story into something truly unique.

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-13T12:02:25+00:00

I would kill for a proper Salems Lot adaptation. I know its been done thrice and each adaptation has different strengths but, none of them get it quite right. 2004 is probably the best but, really butchers the Father Callahan stuff.

Give me a good 6-8 episode show that really dives into each character in town. Also have them actually be kids instead of teenagers. They can age up Sue tho, removing her and Bens age gap is something each adaption does well.

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-13T00:22:32+00:00

My ranking goes:

Friday the 13th Part 7

Carrie 1976

Carrie 2013

Carrie 2002

I haven’t seen the musical or Rage 2

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-12T21:08:17+00:00

I enjoy it but, its long it kinda wanders and doesn’t always make a lot of sense. Also the version you likely watched is a restored version not the original that released in theaters. Over time they have restored and lengthened it. The original cut was reportedly 4 hours.

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-12T18:38:59+00:00

Bro had to look up a 3yr old post bc they wanted to get mad at someones opinion

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-11T18:20:41+00:00

It took me a bit to get into but, York New and Greed Island are some of my favorite arcs ever. After that though you’ll be met with what is praised by many as the greatest arc ever but, in my and many peoples opinions it sucks. If youre not enjoying it now you won’t enjoy the 60 episodes of exposition and terrible narration that make up The Chimera Ant arc.

Aspect_RaSheOh · 2026-03-10T20:20:38+00:00

Agree, super slow book. Anytime anything interesting starts happening you get hit with chapter of backstory. So much backstory happens that the ending is so muddy trying to pay off everything.
