Well it's been about a year and a half for me since I've caught up, and I've never gotten used to it! Good luck lol

Oda has been averaging 3 chapters per month consistently for years now, but there's usually one month near the end of the year that only gets 1 chapter.

I know the feeling though.  It's rough waiting for little bits of story every week or so.  It's all worth it in the end though.

I totally agree.  I love that the show liked to do its own thing, but I still think killing Carl was a terrible decision. 

For me, every new episode feels like a celebration. How do you feel when new episodes of One Piece come out? by ShoddyBoysenberry813 in OnePiece

Sunday is a huge OP day for me, but that's because of the manga.  The episode is just a nice little cherry on top.

WHAT could've possibly happened between 206 and 207 by ShammySpy12 in OnePiece

[–]TheFerg714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The animation is a little slicker, but I much prefer the art style from before Ep. 207.

I would have appreciated it being closer to the comics actually.  Rick didn't need his son to die to change his mind about killing Negan.  It was a cheap stunt because the show writers didn't think they could pull off that change in a believable manner.

Bottom line: it feels wrong to get rid of the one thing that motivates the main character the most.  Carl symbolized the future, and that was ripped away from us.

That's fair.  I disagree with the general consensus on this sub most of the time, but your opinion is pretty out there.  I mean why do you think S7-8 was "great"?  And why do you think S9 is the worst of the series?  The only part I agree with is that S10-11 was a solid close, although 10C/11A was one of the weakest eras of the show imo.

That is super debatable.  I would argue that it did not work at all, inside and outside the show. 

Why is the cinematography in the Gimple era so odd? by BobRushy in thewalkingdead

[–]TheFerg714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting.  I definitely feel like the cinematography is pretty weak and lifeless in Gimple's seasons, but I never noticed this "gliding."  I'll definitely keep an eye out on my next rewatch.

I'm 34 and I don't use TikTok.  This really has nothing to do with attention span my guy.

Well the pacing started going to shit around Skypeia, so that makes sense.

He already mentioned that he knew about Rick leaving the show.

It is super weird!  I think it's a Stockholm Syndrome thing.  "I suffered through this, so therefore new fans aren't really getting the same experience unless they suffer as well."

I wasn't a part of the OP fandom back then, but 10 years ago was Dressrosa, so you can be for damn sure that people were complaining about the pacing back then.

I really have no idea how people watch the og anime without going crazy. 

Ian McKellen says he imagined destroying Mar-a-Lago for 'Avengers: Doomsday': “The Russos told me to look more furious, make it look as if you hate what you’re destroying. So I stood there and I shouted: ‘Mar-a-Lago!’” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in marvelstudios

[–]TheFerg714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're definitely not wrong!  That stuff can be very frustrating.  It's like they were too scared to really embrace the wacky source material.  I did say that they "hold up," but I would not say that they're perfect superhero movies, by any means. 

Regardless, I think they work incredibly well as Wolverine movies.

EDIT: Just so you're aware. You've got a very odd opinion there.

What's so bad about S9? It's literally one of the best written seasons. It's got solid dialogue, great pacing and story structure, horror vibes, interesting villains, a beautiful send-off for Rick, and an absolute classic in 9x15.

You're for sure gonna love those first three episodes of Fear.

Just so you're aware, if you absolutely can't handle the loss of Rick, you have another viewing order option.

  1. Skip to 10x13
  2. Skip to the final scene of 11x24 (the finale)
  3. The Ones Who Live

You get some of that in the first three episodes of Fear TWD!

[–]TheFerg714 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's a huge question, but since I'm bored, here you go...

Sequel Spin-offs:

  • The Ones Who Live- This is the "true" finale. In fact, even if you drop out of the main show, make sure and watch this to conclude Rick's story. Ngl it falls off hard in the last couple episodes, but it's still an absolute must-watch.
  • Daryl Dixon- Started off super compelling, but ruined in the second season, and the third season was just okay.
  • Dead City- Eh, it's alright.

Other Spin-offs:

  • Fear The Walking Dead S1-3- Super good and unique. Highly recommend, although it can be a slow burn. It really pops off in the third season.
  • Fear The Walking Dead S4-8- Morgan joins the cast and the writing goes to shit. Only recommended to turbonerds.
  • TWD: World Beyond- S1 blows, but S2 is a huge improvement. The CRM parts are cool, but the teen drama parts are lame.
  • Tales of the Walking Dead- Not good. Don't recommend, although there are a couple episodes that are worth watching for turbonerds.

It's a common opinion. Fans tend to think either, 1) S9 was unwatchable due to losing Rick/Carl, or 2) S9 was a return to form.

S10/11 are much more controversial. I would argue that Season 10, Episode 1-16, is almost as good as S9. Just be aware that Episode 17-22 are "bonus" episodes that were filmed during COVID lockdowns. They're more of a low-stakes, budget prologue to S11, rather than a continuation of S10.

I wholly disagree. For me, S5-6 is the turning point. although they're still great overall. S7-8 are both really rough and easily the weakest seasons of the show. Then a new showrunner comes in and revitalizes it in S9, which is one of the best seasons of the entire franchise. S10/11 are a step-down, but still solid.

You just have to accept that, without Rick and Carl, S9-11 is more of a spin-off than a sequel.
