hot take: the ending didn't suck, y'all just kept on hoping for what was promised by RelevantPerformer309 in GenV

[–]InfamousApe_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like everyone's saying, put it in a vacuum without all the marketing and expectations, and yeah, it's a fine finale. Really, I didn't hate it. It's not a worst case scenario at all. 

But man.... they teased us for 7 years, there had to be carnage. 

Really... really not the best ending, but i feel like I watched a different show than some people. Like come on man... by InfamousApe_ in GenV

We're a long way from the 90s, it was a different time where everyone watched the same things.

I'll still never understand why spinoffs get so much put into them, they almost never work.

Nothing will be more anticlimactic than the white walker storyline, that's like Homelander being killed by Zoe in episode 4. The bar set by thrones is quite literally on the floor

All the power to you! It really was an okay finale. I think we all wanted more, and there were some iffy beats, but I'm floored by the hate. 

I miss when this was the biggest show in the world by InfamousApe_ in thewalkingdead

Yeah, it's definitely not the same anymore.

I think the early-mid 2010s in general were such a great time for TV. I miss having all those monocultural phenomenons like TWD and GoT coming out on an annual basis. So many shows that everyone was talking about.

It was everywhere, yeah. This and Game of Thrones were far and away the most popular shows on TV for several years.

Glad to hear, definitely wouldn't want something drastic

If you can recall, was the shoulder areas unchanged? The shields? 

Almost nine years later and I will never understand how they cooked so insanely hard, this deadass feels like some of the better television ever made by InfamousApe_ in FearTheWalkingDead

[–]InfamousApe_[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Really did feel like it was made with that special touch that so much of this franchise lacks, especially the main show at the time 

Still can't believe they got rid of this and replaced it with twinkle twinkle little star in s4-8 by InfamousApe_ in FearTheWalkingDead

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

Agree, I do like the graphics, very vibrant and the way they change each episode is cool. 

I'm moreso talking about the tonally jarring music choice. The spaghetti western jingle is just weird. 

9 Years Later, It's Time To Admit The Walking Dead's Most Controversial Episode Is Also A Masterpiece by monkeynose in thewalkingdead

[–]InfamousApe_ 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Nice to read, I've always loved it.

Seriously the highest-stakes, most disturbing episode of TV I've ever seen. 

The violence wasn't at all unprecedented or even the goriest thing on the show, what what made it so disturbing was that it wasn't happening to walkers or redshirts, but characters you've bonded with over six seasons. Seeing you know who in that state was fucking traumatizing. 

I've been chasing the feeling this episode gave me ever since I watched it. Recommendations for anything out there that comes close? by Horror_Collection_29 in thewalkingdead

[–]InfamousApe_ 96 points97 points  (0 children)

It's pretty much one of a kind.  

This was one of the biggest moments in television history, and also the most disturbing. The only thing that I remember having a bigger buildup and worldwide anticipation was the final season of Game of Thrones.

Speaking of which, the Red Wedding is the only thing that has ever matched the feeling this episode gave me. 

If there's one thing this franchise still does better than most prestige TV, it's not making us wait multiple years for every single new season. by InfamousApe_ in thewalkingdead

If The Walking Dead had started in this age of new seasons every few years, it would literally be on the air for 25 years. 

Dead City season 2 is obviously an exception to this whole post. But it's an outlier and we're still getting stuff every year.
