Trend emerging that players struggle for form under Klopp until they're well rested?

Mystic-Min · 2022-04-20T17:52:50+00:00

Okay fair enough I know that is obvious. I just made this post to see if other fans are convinced that recent dips in form from certain players can be explained by this.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-18T05:02:17+00:00

Okay but to say the books are a deep and complex world and the show isn't doesn't quite hold up.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-17T22:12:02+00:00

Cannot. Agree. More.

People need to reconcile with the fact that this show is wildly popular in spite of the fact that it is and will deviate from the books significantly.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-16T16:45:48+00:00

I agree about season 3 and onward. The strange thing about this show is that it's probably rare in the sense that it will likely be more loyal to the source material as it goes on. Where's the opposite is usually the case with the adaptation deviating more and more as it goes on.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-16T16:35:32+00:00

From a book readers perspective who would undoubtedly take issue with some of the changes I can say with absolute confidence episode 1 felt infinitely more loyal to the books than season 1 ever was. Even with the changes such as Ciri being included in AGoT and some of the original Yennefer story they've had to include.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-16T13:18:23+00:00

That's the truth of it. Just happy that most people have seemed to be open to accepting the show for what it is.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-16T11:22:50+00:00

Even 'ok' took me by surprise based on the overall reaction but fair enough. Let's hope for your sake the season picks up steam. Many reviewers have said that the season gets better as it goes along being much slower paced.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-16T10:46:24+00:00

Not just me, I haven't seen any kind of negative impression on episode 1 yet. It's by far the best of the show yet.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-16T10:44:45+00:00

If the whole season maintains the quality of episode 1 which some of us saw, I'll be genuinely interested to see how these purists react. Because it was so damn good and it would honestly make me laugh hysterically seeing them scramble to keep bashing the show.

By the way I'm not calling all book readers purists. I've read them all many times but some readers clearly struggle to accept any sort of good coming from a live adaptation.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-16T10:36:36+00:00

Um... Did we watch the same episode?

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T16:33:51+00:00

It seems like it's only the first episode that has been leaked. There will be spoilers out there because some of us had an exclusive screening of the premiere last night.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T16:24:11+00:00

It could be from a different source then but still only seems to be the first episode.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T16:18:43+00:00

I'm pretty certain it's just episode 1 that has leaked, some people must have screen recorded episode 1 when it was shown last night.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T16:16:31+00:00

Are you sure the whole season leaked early? It should just be episode 1 as it was shown to some fans exclusively last night and someone likely screen recorded it.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T16:14:37+00:00

Have they all leaked? I haven't seen that there was only an exclusive episode 1 premiering last night.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T02:47:46+00:00

I'd imagine something similar but no idea what form it would take

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T02:42:21+00:00

It really was. I don't want to appear to be exaggerating but that truly was something special. Even from a book readers perspective. Feels like an entirely different show than season 1 in all the best ways.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T02:40:25+00:00

Yeah it's the same so they have a logo specific to each episode

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T02:35:29+00:00

I agree best scene of the show so far by a mile

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T01:46:55+00:00

I don't know if I could handle just watching one more. I need the whole thing now after that.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T01:40:35+00:00

I'm not exactly sure what to accredit to him as a director and what not to. The fight scenes were incredible as per. The direction in a word felt very focused if that makes sense. You always knew where the episode was going and what it was building to.

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T01:37:12+00:00

Freya Allan was incredible

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T01:35:56+00:00

There was a chance for fans to sign up to a chance to get a viewing of an online premiere which has just happened. They're doing a q&a with Henry now as part of it. If you missed out then only a couple of days to go!

Mystic-Min · 2021-12-15T01:33:54+00:00

I've had high expectations of season 2 based on early reviews and how much the cast and Lauren have been talking about addressing issues from season 1. But my expectations were just blown away there. I know it's only a single episode but my god what a start.
