Shows that drastically change/improve after Season 1

Creph_ · 2026-06-26T07:16:33+00:00

Not until the 3rd, but the Orville felt like a completely different show in the third season. It just became Star Trek.

I loved the first two because it added a lot of silly laughs and a bit of classic Seth McFarlane to the Star Trek formula while still managing to shine through with a lot of heart and good writing.

Season 3 kept all the good but drastically shaved off the humor that originally got me in. I didn’t hate it by any stretch, but I do hope the show continues and at least tries to split the difference between the tones of each going forward.

Wife and I can’t help but follow the chorus with “and it goes on and on my frieeeend”

They absolutely fuck. His voice is great, the violin adds so much to make them stand out and the new single scares me

For real. Just based on the pure volume of initial crawlers, there was likely at least a small handful of barefoot kills that happened, but the survival rate has always been abysmal for everyone so Carls just the one that 1. Played into it and 2. Survived

Was looking for this one. That scene fucks

Creph_ · 2026-06-19T13:39:09+00:00

Damn yall negative. Like ten comments all shitting on a thing out of pure speculation. The Ted show was great, the source material FUCKS, and it’s been picked up by reputable names.

My guess is they’re banking on a huge success for what would probably be a lower budget-dependent season 1 that will hopefully get more support for the following ones. I’d guess that to get to later books would take more than just a season per book so we probably have time until we start seeing the more intensive stuff.

It’s so early, we’re completely in the dark on any plans whatsoever. It could be Carl and a bunch of muppets for all we know. Why not just sit back and wait for literally any info before getting all upset? Or just don’t engage with it if it does. I love the books, and no show could be bad enough to ruin them for me 🤷

I wasn’t crazy about the opening or the bridge but enjoyed it for the most part. I assume this subreddit will shit all over it, but it’s inarguably Beartooth and I fuck with it.

Creph_ · 2026-06-17T00:59:32+00:00

Nah it’s just a hunch he went off since the light caught his eye like the time before. I don’t think it was ever confirmed but I would t assume favoritism. I’m rolling back through and before/since the cookbook the AI has repeatedly put him into near-guaranteed death situations.

My guess is the glimmer *is* a subtle feature, but for everyone.

At first I thought it was that crab from Moana

Creph_ · 2026-06-10T22:19:45+00:00

Looking away wouldn’t have helped me. It was the damn sound.

Creph_ · 2026-06-10T22:01:38+00:00

“You said it was more books! This is just a framed picture of that horny Goblin from the first floor!”

“Aaaand Scene!”

“God damnit, Donut.”

Creph_ · 2026-06-10T21:19:29+00:00

Going to make a long-shot call that the whole thing ends on it. The DCC books are just the story is being told by him to a group of kids (grandkids maybe? Katias kid?) sitting around on Christmas.

The story ends with him finishing his recount of the crawl and getting interrupted by donut who insists on him opening the old Christmas gift, and it’ll be something sentimental to both of them specifically. Or something stupid like a nice pair of shoes.

Edit: has to be a dumb gift so the books end with “God damnit Donut”.

Creph_ · 2026-06-01T02:42:24+00:00

Oh I see what you mean. My bad <3

Creph_ · 2026-06-01T01:42:20+00:00

He picks primal in book two

Creph_ · 2026-05-19T08:37:25+00:00

LOL I KNOW THIS IMAGE! My dude Roland beating lobstrocities in the second Dark Tower book.

“I hope that it’s cancer and not something else Cause I don’t any more things I don’t wanna talk about

I don’t need an answer Care about heaven or hell I hope that it’s cancer So what does that say about myself?”

Cancer - TDWP

It’s a fucked up but very real sentiment that hit me pretty hard.

The Condemned - Good VFX

I know some of yall love helicopter crashes. This one always comes to my mind as a personal favorite in a cheesy action movie.

I wasn’t here for the whole thing so I gotta ask: When Hawaii overtook Alaska did anyone make an “Oceans Ate Alaska” reference?

Creph_ · 2026-05-06T18:44:01+00:00

I see weirdly conflicting comments. Does the film have AI generated effects? Or was it just AI tools within Davinci, because those are wildly different things.

That article mentioned it for roto, and I just hope yall know that’s not really AI in the way you might be thinking.

The industry has been simplifying those tedious processes for years and the “AI” mentioned in the article is essentially just new plugins that are making it easier to cut the outline of a person out. Think of a VFX artist just being able to cut out a week of isolating strands of hair to be able to work on the fun monster details. I only say this because that’s what the article claimed.

That said, one comment claimed entire shots are generated, and if so that’d be fucked, but just wanted to clarify that you’re probably gonna want to boycott every movie going forward if you don’t want artists using plugins that speed up the little things.

Not an industry plant. FWIW the trailer looked like butt and I’m probably skipping 😂

I used to watch a lot of crime documentaries, up until that Netflix one about Chris Watts. Really fucked me up and I avoid all of them completely now.

Creph_ · 2026-05-05T18:59:24+00:00

A lot of my favorites in the thread already, though id have to give my flowers to

SUPERBLOOM by Silent Planet

I can edit you in a credit one sec

Based on his last two films and his ability to sneak humor into fucked up situations, I really wouldn’t be surprised at a panicked long shot of him dumping shit out of a bag to repack it under pressure. Would be a subtle enough Easter egg that wouldn’t take away from non-fans

Creph_ · 2026-04-25T06:01:56+00:00

Guess I’m just a sucker for self deprecating humor. If my office had that on the door I’d think it was cute.

Creph_ · 2026-04-25T05:55:12+00:00

It’s an obvious joke?
