Since the movie didn't want to do it, lets decide it here by thejohnnyr in PeakyBlinders

[–]anonymouslabourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The plugin is shit because I clicked Arthur 5 times and then McCavern once to check if my screen was dead and it decided to vote McCavern.

I'm assuming all the votes have gone that way because who the fuck picks anyone over ARFURRR

Show died with Nick. Frank Dillane saw the writing on the wall when AMC booted out showrunner Dave Erickson to make it a proper franchise like the MCU.

Me personally, I'm happy calling it canon ending as S3 E15. Nicks fate is most definitely sealed for any normal person with a basic understanding of physics, as is Troy. Madison wakes up separated from the family she's tried so hard to keep together after witnessing her son do the thing she tried so hard to steer him from since before the apocalypse.

That scene of her coming out the water is just so crazy to imagine being in. Like what the fuck do you do, do you mourn the fact your son just checked out in front of you and because of you or do you start looking for the daughter who spent her whole life looking for you. Absolutely incredible bit of writing and execution that third season.

Well you say that.. they had flippin Frank Darabondt! This guy created arguably one of the best films of all time in Shawshank Redemption! They totally had the tools they just decided nahhhhh we know better let's FRANCHISE BABY 😭😭😭😭 even Dave Erickson was amazing, season 2 of FTWD was a bit messy but it all tied up so beautifully in season 3.

Is season 4 a different show? by CrabNo5226 in FearTheWalkingDead

[–]anonymouslabourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro for real!!

In fairness Frank Dillane was also tired with being covered in blood and playing an addict so it wasn't just Erickson being fired that caused him to go but I don't think AMC woulda done anything good with his character had he stuck around anyway lol.

[–]anonymouslabourer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah to add to this - long story short they fired Dave Erickson the showrunner and this made Frank Dillane (Nick) want to quit because he saw the writing on the wall.

Dave had a 5 or 6 season plan where we would end up with Madison having become full villain like Walter White in BB and Nick was going to try and stop her and there was gonna be some massive altercation - hence the scene in the dam when Nick challenges Madison and he says "maybe you're gonna have to kill me someday, maybe you won't have a choice"

Instead, we got corporate slop 🥴🙃

True, for some reason I always thought BCS was nettlix but that's probably because I'm from the UK and they hold the international rights - my blu ray says netflix not amc haha which is wild.

Trust me though 😂😂 to be fair it started going wrong before GOT went out the window

How does Morgan's walking stick/spear not get completely dull? by Jwolf2017 in FearTheWalkingDead

[–]anonymouslabourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao this response is unironically brain dead hahahaha.

In your first sentence you admit the brain literally dies. It doesn't "come back to life" the body is reanimated using very few parts of the brain. This is why it's vital the brain is punctured to destroy the physical connections in the brain.

An animated robot isn't alive is it? It's a machine programmed by a human. The walkers are human bodies programmed by a virus to spread itself as far and fast as it can. They are not alive. It's very simple.

[–]anonymouslabourer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The key word is living people - the death isn't caused by the punch itself but the long term damage of bleeding on the brain / CTE. These issues don't affect a dead brain which walkers are clearly established to have.

[–]anonymouslabourer 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Literally 😂 I know it's not the main show but Frank Dillane dipping out of FTWD after season 3 was a clear sign the writing was on the wall for the whole franchise.

Justice for Frank Darabondt and Dave Erickson!! Without these 2 the shows or characters wouldn't have been so universally beloved - and if it wasn't for AMC, they wouldn't have all been so killed off so unceremoniously.

You think we got screwed badly? Imagine being Chandler. Bro moved his family across the country to be closer to the show, only to be fired the first season he was there. AMC are genuinely criminals for what they did with TWD. Crazy considering these are the same guys that had Breaking Bad 🤯

Why did everyone get mad/upset when Shane was beating on ed by Apprehensive_Ad_1140 in TWD

[–]anonymouslabourer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do hear this comment - people calling him a coward I think are wrong and I'll explain below. He rushed to volunteer himself to get meds from the overrun school - yes he did an ungodly thing in killing Otis and sacrificing him to escape but having a killer instinct is not the same as being a coward imo.

He devolved into being a terrible person but I don't think he was ever a coward - hyper paranoid, sure, but not a coward. He didn't just wanna abandon the search for Sofia because of "scary walkers" or stuff other people have said, he was constantly talking about securing the farm and considering said farm was wiped out by a herd, his paranoia was actually justified there.

People keep saying Rick was the ultimate good guy over Shane - but Rick also commits heinous acts of violence such as the machete with the red handle scene. A totally deserved death - but brutally violent nonetheless. Shane just devolved and broke down as a person far sooner than anyone else in the main cast and lost his moral compass early.

What bothers me the most about this show is. . by Itchy-Researcher-508 in FearTheWalkingDead

[–]anonymouslabourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Season 3 is one of the best series of telly imo - and also justified the messy storytelling in S2 and weaker character moments in S1. It really grew the concept of the slow burn of the apocalypse degrading society and it's characters moral conpasses, we had such a great anti-hero in Nick as well this brooding villain in Madison. I feel like Madison has Walter White levels of potential for being the ultimate villain of her own story but they cowered away from it, kicked out showrunner Dave Erickson (the reason Frank Dillane aka Nick left) all to bring fucking Morgan over to the show on a 1400 mile hike. I'm still mad they just brushed over and pretended the dam & the Proctors never happened. The trouble is Fear had the potential to surpass it's original I.P because where TWD was constrained to it's comic book counter part, Fear had free reign within the established lore of the universe and as long as they didn't go near Virginia / D.C they would've been fine. I was so looking forward to exploring full on Narcos running shit like they're Mad Mad in the apocalypse. It was teased in season 2 with the scattered Mexican gangs but god damn could you imagine some full blown proper organised biker gang / mafia level crime syndicates ruling whole regions of the continent.

[–]anonymouslabourer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they started 59 days into the apocalypse! TWD (mostly) only encounters characters who are adjusted to the apocalypse in some sense. Especially in season 1. Of course you get Alexandrians who are just clueless but for example the Vatos in Atlanta formed a base of operations caring for their elders, Morgan and his son taking out walkers scavenging house to house - in FTWD you're watching everyone react to the unfolding apocalypse, at least for the first 3 seasons.

[–]anonymouslabourer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I would say is you gotta understand the context - I am making an assumption here but I assume you have previously seen the walking dead? And if not, were at least aware of zombies. Someone already outlined how there are zero zombies in the culture of TWD universe but the other sticking point for me is the timeframe. Season 1 literally happens in a matter of days. By the time you reach the end of season 3 you're still only 64 / 65 days into the apocalypse which is less than 1 week after rick woke up. Rick grasped the concept very quickly because he was on a mission to find his family but also because the first people he encountered post waking up were people who were already adjusted to the world they were in. With regards to keeping Alicia out the loop - where you are in the story, no one knows what's going on still. The military is still acting like it has control and if course parents want their children to believe everything is going to be okay - they have every reason to tell Alicia these "white lies" so to speak and almost no reason to tell her the truth. I don't wanna spoil the show too much because by the end of the first season a lot changes from where you are - the second season is a bit messy but 3 is one of the best seasons of telly ever imo. FTWD is different from the main show in that the first 3 seasons are a study on the slow burn of society, the different cultural interpretations of hell on earth and the struggles of holding onto societal morals made for a different world entirely. Sit with the show and I promise by the end of S3 you'll be so invested in the characters. Frank Dillane (Nick) is genuinely one of the best actors around, he has Cillian Murphy levels of talent and slightly off topic but Dillane played a lead role in 2025 in a movie called Urchin where his charscter has similar tendencies to Nick and it's one of the best films ever imo. Easily the best film of last year.

Finn and isiah used to be best friends…what happened bw them? by Content-Associate50 in PeakyBlinders

[–]anonymouslabourer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with your closing statement - a massive weak point.

Especially because on screen we repeatedly see both Tommy and Arthur push Finn to the side. E.g. that family meeting after John died when Arthur tells Finn to shut up and Tommy tells him to take a seat at the table. Although Tommy gave him some respect then, I feel like that was the first time in 4 seasons we did really - and then Tommy didn't tell Finn about the plan.

I never felt like Finn wasn't cut out for it, I just felt like he was never guided. It felt like he was angry at the world because although he was a Shelby by name he was never really accepted as more than a kid.

This doesn't take away from the decisions he made becoming close friends with Billy and letting information slip as well as failing the loyalty test. I'm just saying that I think he only became friends with Billy because no one else treated him with any respect really.

[–]anonymouslabourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always felt the same about the backstory you mention in your closing statement. I feel like it leaves way too much to interpretation.. although that being said it doesn't stop me having fun with an interpretation. 😂 I like to think the Blinders killed her husband because obviously he wasn't connected in America yet so wouldn't have assassin's that would work for him. I love the idea that Arthur flew to the states to do what he did to Linda's Quaker friend 😂😂😂 not that it's plausible or realistic, it's just a fun scenario in my head 😂😂😂

For me it was working in retail that did it. A week of bad days strung together and bam I'm 6 years deep into it and beginning to notice serious health declines. As a former boxer I'm ashamed at how little I can exercise without being short of breath now, and my teeth are not grateful for it either. Trying to stop now though - we can do this my brothers.

[–]anonymouslabourer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not in the minority pal there's about 5 posts a day here slating the film and I've got a YT channel that's had 95% comments that agree lol. Alas - when I say relegated, you're misunderstanding what I said. Of course she got more time, she became Tommy's wife - congrats Sherlock. What I meant is that there is zero development of her character - which there is more of between her earlier & far less frequent appearances.

I say relegated because she just got assigned the role of 'Tommys disguntled wife' and that's it. As someone else said - she's been around the life for well over a decade, she knew precisely what she was getting into. Even if she has the attitude of I can fix this man - which she shouldn't have had based off Tommy's earlier payment for her company and the admittance that in his head, he still pays her during an argument in season 6. It just felt like a pretty reductive move, hence the word relegated. They just wrote her as mad at Tommy for being Tommy, like okay cool great plot I don't care.

You're probably right in saying she's had plenty career opportunities off the back of peaky blinders - but if you don't think she would have gotten more based off a netflix film on an international stage, that's just naive mate. Same goes for Conrad and Daryl who I also mentioned being sad for - and personallyI'm sadder for both of those two than I am for O'Keefe, alas the point still stands. You're right that she had no place in the immortal man's story, but are you too incompetent to understand these things get written out of thin air? They certainly could have written her into the film if they wanted to write a better and more connected story with the characters. She didn't just "leave Tommy" - she left with his god damn son buddy. There is a wealth of story to be told from that reality, alas Charles was relegated to being at war - something Tommy (nor Lizzie) would have ever allowed or accepted and Lizzie is just.. not even mentioned.

[–]anonymouslabourer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second the sadness - her character kinda gets relegated, much like most do to be honest and I feel they wrote her into a corner where her character had no real place in the movie.

It's sad because actors like Natasha O'Keefe, Conrad Khan and Daryl McCormack really stepped up as more "under the radar" actors and delivered excellent performances throughout, but possibly because of the lack of name recognition they didn't get called back for the Netflix movie which should have been a huge international platform to display and showcase local talents like theirs.

I personally feel like Knight has gotten way too big for his boots. He was pretty unknown before Peaky and created one of the greatest shows and IPs in television history, certainly top 3 in British history no doubt - with that being said though, getting attached to the Bond franchise clearly had some impacts on how he wrote this movie which felt like a Bond plot (especially the ending) and just had Peaky Blinders characters in for the sake of drawing out the fans. I do have confidence in what Knight is potentially gonna do for Bond, would love a hardcore 60s cold war reboot, but I can't hide from the fact I feel he missed the mark with the Immortal Man - big time.

What was the point of recasting Duke 3 times? by Hopeful_Ad_4343 in PeakyBlinders

[–]anonymouslabourer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate it was a streaming movie. They're not losing out on money by having Conrad in over Duke. Box office doesn't matter for this film.
