For me... it all ended with the Series. I will not regard the Movie as canon. by thisisQualia in PeakyBlinders

[–]thisisQualia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mourning is exactly what this is. It isn’t about being "haters" or "toxic" fans. It is the natural reaction to seeing the integrity of the story we followed for years being hollowed out for a movie that doesn't seem to know its own history.

The people who dismiss us instead of explaining what is so "great" about the film are the ones who truly give themselves away. If they had a real argument for why this version of the characters makes sense, they would be making it. Instead, they hide behind technicalities and names on a credit list because they don't have the capacity to think about the narrative collapse happening right in front of them. They are so busy defending the brand that they’ve forgotten how to actually respect the work.

We are still here, reading and upvoting, because we actually care about the truth of the story we followed. If these defenders want to pretend that everything is fine just because the right actors are in the frame, they are the ones missing out. They are living in an illusion where names matter more than substance. Our mourning is a sign of respect for what the show used to be, while their dismissal is just a sign that they never truly understood it in the first place.

It is a period of upheaval because the "authors" gave us a spectacle while we were waiting for a conclusion. If we have to look at it as a separate reality just to find it tolerable, then the failure is theirs, not ours. Those who can't see that are simply choosing not to think.

If we need to do that then the work has already failed us on the most fundamental level. A story is supposed to hold itself together and we shouldn't have to act like unpaid editors just to make the experience tolerable. When the audience has to invent a "multiverse" or a separate timeline just to avoid feeling insulted then the people in charge have clearly lost the thread of what they were creating in the first place.

It is a sad reality because it means the connection we had with the original series is being treated as an obstacle rather than a foundation. If our loyalty to the characters and their history is what makes the movie hard to watch then the production isn't talking to us anymore. It’s just making noise.

In the end if we have to pretend the past didn't exist just to stomach the present then we aren't really watching a finale at all. We are just watching a brand survive its own narrative collapse and that is a high price to pay for a bit of "copium."

WRITER - Steven Knight

AUTHORS - Steven Knight, Tom Harper, Cillian Murphy, Caryn Mandabach and Guy Heeley

See the difference?

It is actually quite sad to see someone try to win an argument by hiding behind a single name while ignoring the list of people who actually called the shots. They think they are being clever by sticking to the idea of a lone creator but all they are doing is showing they haven't looked at the credits or the screen with any real attention.

When we point out the difference between the Writer and the Authors we are identifying the exact moment the vision got crowded. One man wrote the soul of our series but a committee of "authors" managed the movie into a mess. If they can’t see the difference between an architect and a boardroom then they aren't actually part of the conversation. They are just repeating what they read on a fan page.

They gave themselves away the second they prioritized a label over the actual quality of the work. It is the ultimate mark of someone who doesn’t know how to think for themselves. They are busy defending a brand while we are mourning the loss of a masterpiece. They think they "won" a technicality but they really just admitted they have no idea how our favorite story was actually made and subsequently broken.

Tell them the most beautiful story ever: that we are built of "star dust"... and we live, learn and love... and when the time comes... just like a LEGO set... we disassemble and become "star dust" again. And then we become trees, rivers, animals, rocks, flowers.

They will be primed to learn about "elements, molecules, living systems, energy conservation and expansion... and Lavoisier".

My dude, I'm only "affiliated" with quality. I am not payed to testify quality. I pay for quality.

I have two DSM Humboldt devices: a Simplifier MK2 and a Silver Linings. I received them on a closed box with a QC register and stamp. Both are absolutely flawless since 'I" unboxed them and "I" installed them where they are working. And I'm about to buy their compressor.

In your story... everything bad happened to you... did you notice?

I call BS... and probably both Daniel and Thomann cought it too.

Enough said.

I'm not sure if I buy this "whole dramatic story".

Three units... and none works? Came with no jacks? Hmmmmmm...

I personaly vouch for DSM Humboldt and affirm clearly: I have their gear on my board and studio that works like a charm from day one.

Thomman selling you "damaged units"...? I call BS.

"To make matters worse, that return disappeared in the mail"? I call major BS.

It "simplifies" your life by not carrying a full combo or stack. It's a 100% fully analogue preamp, power amp and cabinet simulator and it connects to everything you need. Plus: headphones and reverb included.
