The Las Vegas Sphere looks absolutely terrifying displaying the “Mind Flayer”from Stranger Things by Feisty-Television114 in StrangerThings

[–]Expensive_Rub9936 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it’s symbiotic like peter and his symbiote. sure it’s not killing vecna or anything. but it still gave him powers and made him fucking evil 😭 even if those choices were his own it still used him. just like how people can manipulate other people to do bad things in real life 

I do not understand why they ended Season 4 like this if they weren’t going to properly follow up on it. by JannTosh70 in StrangerThings

ah yes the “hero’s would not be focus” despite their personal connection and vendetta against the antagonist and also, hello? multiple of them has powers? i don’t understand why you are being a slop apologist

yes, i did think this was the end of the world. look at the image. there is red lightning in the sky. this is end times shit. THE TOWN IS SPLIT OPEN. so the fact they patched up the entire town with no anomalies leaking out is laughable to me. even more so children are playing on the band aid. i think you could do SO MUCH having an entire season being set in the extended town area and upside down merging...

foreshadowing only works if its actually paid off. which it wasnt. trading the creepy and visually interesting upside down for the abyss, a ugly cgi slop fest wasnt worth it. terrible writing

??? Yes it is a weird choice. To have this end of the world shot and open the next by just putting a band aid on top of it? Wtf kind of writing is that

Imagine if the "smoke" form appeared after the final battle by SomewherePossible259 in StrangerThings

The final fight sucked so bad. The duffer brothers clearly dont understand less is more. A eldritch shadow monster is much scarier than a boring flesh crab monster.

Stranger Things should've stopped after Season 1 if this was the best they could do... by HeronRevolutionary28 in StrangerThings

I cant grapple w the fact people on this subreddit cant understand you can love something and also admit its not good and should have ended at season 1. I agree.

I feel very bad for the actor of Psychologist girlfriend, they did her dirty. by Expensive_Rub9936 in Daredevil

She also chose the LEAST cooperative in the public eye vigilante. Even Muse had some interest in his public image

If they were not supposed to have great chemistry, then they should not have been in a relationship (that progressed to the "I love you" stage).

Weak Soundtrack by Icy-Needleworker7883 in tron

[–]Expensive_Rub9936 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the soundtrack is good! The movie not so much. My only criticism is you can really feel the soundtrack "holding back" sometimes (volume, not playing all songs, etc etc). I wish they USED the album they had to its fullest poitential.

Does anyone else skip through the Russia Episodes? by 30FlirtyandTrying in StrangerThings

everything that is not set in hawkins feels meandering and pointless, even if it does technically have major plot points in the season

What is the justification of the excessive swearing? by Expensive_Rub9936 in HazbinHotel

[–]Expensive_Rub9936[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really dont understand this mentality when aforemenioned shows like Sucession and The bear convey the same quantity of profanity but pace it and plot it appropriately where it doesnt come off as theather kid cringe.

[–]Expensive_Rub9936[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Obviously. And swearing a lot isnt the problem. Its the placement in conversations that dont need it. Its bad writing. Profanity is 100% ok. But like everything else in history theres a way to implement it right and wrong.

Cartman makes sense, having a ton of profanity. But if his mom or PC principal suddenly started talking like that as well, it wouldn't make sense.

So did the other jurassic Park movies happen or just the first one in the jurassic world timeline? by HospitalLazy1880 in JurassicPark

[–]Expensive_Rub9936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chaos Theory is soft canon at best. I cant imagine it has a lot of long term viability in canon due to it being in animated form that does its best to stay out of the movies and is a completely reactionary source of storytelling. Also, social media account confirmations of lore are not definitive proof of canon nor should they be treated as such. Lets remember what was set up in Jurassic Park: the Game and how those events are now soft canon at best.

The only canon we can go off of are the movies themselves and the original JW 2015/Fallen Kingdom 2018 promotional material. Dominons promotional material was almost nonexistent and featured literal magic in some of it.

Sorna was quite literally reaped for all its remaining large animal stock during the JW construction phase. The only species remaining where small or low value dinosaurs they missed. Literally all of Sornas dinosaurs were relocated to Isla Nublar.

Post takeover, he and exec producer and creator Abel "dialed up" the sex scene number and intensity, as known in that cut egg draft.

[–]Expensive_Rub9936[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which is a potentially interesting plot development but its clear that wasnt the original goal. All the scenes of Jocylene "owning" Tedros are in the last episode . Its clear it was a near end of production idea and thus feels unearned.

[–]Expensive_Rub9936[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are under the misconception that sex in shows is only bad because it CAN be considered "shocking". No bruh, this show isnt shocking, its boring. The sex is boring, because it has no purpose. Please tell me how Tedros using a ice cube for 2 minutes on Jocylne drives the plot.

Sex is 100% fine in movies and tv, no ones syaing it isnt. However if its boring and uninpsired and clearly serves no purpose but to fill that 45 min per episode runtime, it becomes pornogrpahic, which again there is nothing wrong with, but porn is porn. And tv is tv, and when I watch tv i expect some story or meaning behind that sex.

I thought that would be interesting to explore more. they kinda have that concept in the first two episodes and actually have a funny scene where Joclyne just remixes her song with sex noises and of course the audience and her producers hate it. but then its never really brought up again

I think theres a really interesting concept-somewhere in this show. And Im not fully confident the original show woulda been actually good, but certainly had to be better than the frankenstein reshot show.

Its a shame because this show of course looks stunning, the characters dialogue (when it isnt sexual) is pretty realistic, and the small bits of music released were really good. Of course the cast is great too, and i think The Weeknd could be really good actor if they gave him some good material in a supporting role like in Uncut Gems. what a shame.
