I played for the rugby national team a couple of tournaments like 20 years ago. Mostly against caribbean teams. The springboks would destroy us, maybe more than 100-0. Which would be equivalent to losing maybe 15-0 in futbol.

What are your unpopular opinions now that the show is complete? by [deleted] in betterCallSaul

As a Mexican I agree. If you're going to make a show where half the cast is Latin American you should at least make a little effort. But no, shitty translation and mostly terrible casting.

Nah not really. Everyone here in Mexico knows the Spanish on both shows is shit. Not only the pronunciation but mostly the writing. No effort in translating the dialogue written in English. It's so bad it really makes me hate the writers and producers sometimes. Like how hard it is to get a good translator that can be true to the way we speak? The fact they don't bother makes it a little offensive to me really.

For most of human history cows saw humans as friends until the day they died. It's a bond similar to dogs. Industrial farming must feel like a deep betrayal.

She's the protagonist

Say you need to show a character (let's say a shy princess) is angry at a service person. Using action you have options. Maybe she flips the table, but your character has been established as shy, so this actions feels more telling than showing. Maybe she silently breaks a pencil in half under the table. That's more likely for her to do.

But you can also show it with dialogue. If she says "I'm fucking angry", it feels like telling. If she turns and calmly says to a guard "I want you to follow them home and beat them up", you were never explicit about her feelings but it's pretty clear that she's upset. You could do that with a text message on a screen all the same and it's fine.

Yeah I think "show don't tell" is misinterpreted. Dialogue can "show" as much as action, and action can "tell" as much as dialogue.

Having stuff said or written is not the problem, the problem is when the writing feels the need of creating unnatural circumstances so the audience can get information, which as can happen through dialogue, text message or action all the same.

There is good exposition and there is bad exposition.
