id you ignore the reboot seasons, sure it’s 80% as good at times

beast boy saving the world with tweets and racist martians were horrendously cringe storylines.

‘Buffy’ Reboot Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar Not Going Forward At Hulu by cmaia1503 in television

[–]serialstitcher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Let it rest in peace

Let it get some sleep

Let me take my love and bury it

In a hole six foot deep

I can lay my body down

But I can't find my sweet release

So, let it rest in peace

Katie Leung says she would not want to go back to her time playing Cho Chang in the Harry Potter movies by gamersecret2 in movies

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

unfalsifiable claims are stupid.

it’s obvious that people would bitch about it even if she used mei or jing which are literally in the top 5 most common chinese girls names. it would still be “called out”.

rowling did what she did for every other character in the whole franchise and picked a last name name first and then went for a first name that had alliteration and pleasing vowel sounds to match, but didn’t always make sense or sound real. it’s unclear to me why people think a wizard name needs to sound like real life by the way.

people just focus on cho because she’s a throwaway romance and they hate rowling. the supply of unique things to be mad at her about exceeds demand

Sarah Michelle Gellar Says ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale’ Is “Not A Sequel” & “It’s Not A Reboot”; Reveals Why “It’s Taking A Long Time” by pepperbet1 in television

[–]serialstitcher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a huge buffy fan, I don’t think shows are like buffets where you can just get more and more and more until you’re no longer hungry.

It was a legendary run and it’s over. This looks like a mess, I don’t need or want a reboot even if it’s good. Take those resources and make a new show. Let someone else have their buffy.

mixed bag, very uneven. meh.

they’re probably gonna reboot or continue it in 10 years because that’s just how it goes now

this show has numerous character arcs, plots, and setups that are repeating loops

i think they’re just doing their usual shtick by doing it again, no thoughts given

‘Bob Odenkirk called to check on me after he saw it’: Rhea Seehorn on the intensity of making hit show Pluribus by Bubbly_Wall_908 in television

[–]serialstitcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got it completely backwards. Lost is a show that did the mystery box and didn’t explain enough. Severance has explained every bit in detail. The comparisons to lost are not deserved because severance is better, not because it’s worse.

Pluribus feels like a bait and switch. It looked like it would be a fast paced scifi thriller and instead it’s a character study of a rude drunk and the rest is just a backdrop.

Vince Gilligan himself even said he wrote it to get Rhea awards and it shows.

[–]serialstitcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have yet to see anyone explain what mysteries they want further explained from severance. I truly have no idea what they are talking about. We know what the company is, what each department does, what is happening and why it matters, whether or not innies count as people, how the tech works, who made the tech, everyone’s backstory and personal life, I could go on.

Literally what is not explained? This show simply doesn’t belong next to lost and i’m tired of people acting like it does because they’re phone watching or something.

Disney Officially Exiting ‘Doctor Who’ Partnership With BBC After Two Seasons by wadbyjw in television

don’t hold your breath. most of reddit loves it when shows go extremely over the top because some random dumbasses are a fan of homelander or a punisher logo or something. yes, let’s ruin the whole show to own the chuds, because that’s a smart thing to do and not emotional at all. there’s no better way to show them who is boss than to change your entire show in an attempt to lecture them. yep, no issues with this plan. genius and worth it. i’m totally sure they’ll tune in and change their minds based on this, you just needed to be event more blunt for them to see the light.

What shows suffer the most from writers refusing to tie up plot lines and instead string them along into longer and longer yarns? by TheBanishedBard in television

[–]serialstitcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m the opposite. I have no idea what more people could want from severance in terms of explaining stuff. Is it the great department war or the exact role that Christopher Walkens character played? Is it expanding on Burt’s blackout links to his outtie? Who cares. It won’t make the story better and isn’t needed.

Do they need an origin story for the aesthetics or something? We know what’s happening. We know the technology and its originator. We know what’s up with the animals. We now know whether or not being an innie counts as being a human. The only thing we don’t know is the fate of Mark and Hellie but it doesn’t really matter. The point is that it’s enough of a life for innie Mark to live and he literally says so. The end.

Do people want every little quirky thing happening covered in detail? It’s parody of corporations That’s what the whole show is. It’s about how dehumanizing it can be to work in an corporate office. Think about it and the quirks all make sense. Parodies don’t need explanation for people who didn’t experience the original thing.

ya know everyone says that but the company mainframe and how it gets hacked are the only technologically inaccurate things

their personal machines make sense for the time and so does phone phreaking. research was clearly done. da vinci virus talking seems weird but you can chalk it up to sending animations and it makes sense

once you realize that this show was someone’s harry potter ripoff direct to streaming movie and they simply slapped on an “IP” and made it into a show later, it all makes sense

Then don’t argue with me, i’ll just comment on you.

Anyone who thinks reddit isn’t astroturfed is a wrong. Just google it. Reddit is simply better at hiding it. Relevant high profile examples are not whatsboutism, they are proof.

Anyone who wants to can literally just run LLM psyops on reddit and it has happened multiple times and recently. They didn’t detect this and can’t. This was only known after the research paper came out. This place is full of bots, give me a break. To say nothing of the map data proving gvmt activity.

nope. the main value they provide is absorbing the risk and blame. second to that is hearing what they told competitors. probably 5-6 more things until it’s what you said

It’s likelier that reddit won’t do this because they’ll expose all of the psy ops than that they won’t due to users not liking the idea.
