IT'S HAPPENING
(quokk.au)
Reposting an old post I made that is more relevant now than ever
I was fine paying for Amazon to make the highest quality stuff that I wanted to see, like the Expanse, Invincible, the fucking Boys etc as I do believe I can't bemoan the lack of quality programming if I'm not helping foster it.
But then they included ads in the standard package and I jumped back into the high seas. Fuck that noise.

I want to believe, I really do, but basically every “new version of thing I loved from childhood” has been profoundly disappointing.
My guess: [bad guy] comes back because [good guy] is actually bad guy now, in a complete reversal of their entire character growth arc, and [bad thing that we took care of in the last show] is back because [history erasing lazy writing so they can just tell the same story again].
I see you have also seen [show/movie brought back after a long gap]!

I closed that gate in 2004.
Still waiting for others to see it, and stop falling for it.
The sweeter the juice, the more dangerous the pitcher plant.
I was trying to think of a way to shoehorn in my opinion on Wheel of Time, but fuck it, I'll just say it.
Wheel of Time sucked. They fucked it up badly.
Eh I had accepted the major and completely unnecessary changes. In fact, I got used to them and was really enjoying it in the last season as it was finally getting better.
Then it got cancelled for no reason.

Amazon has financed the Expanse. That's it. The evil fuckers have zero credit to the quality of the TV adaptation. It was two seasons at SyFy - then, sadly but unsurprisingly, SyFy was unable to turn it into a source of revenue (Hi Firefly :( ) and amazon financed it because the shitbucket in chief at amazon is an Expanse fan.
I think it was 3 seasons at syfy.
There is a bit of a shift between season 3 and 4.

But it's Bezos! I'm not giving Bezos any more money.
The new Critical Role cartoon series is out as well, and despite being a fan, I ain't watching that because it's on Prime. (I'm also not pirating it btw, I'll keep hoping that it'll eventually get released on BluRay or something)
Yarr.
Y'arr
(A bit like y'all, it means all the arrs. Not to be confused with Yar, that sleeps with the Tar.)

A Blu-ray release would still be giving money to Amazon, since it's their production, though...?

How about judging the series after it came out instead of judging a book by its cover? Even if the chances of it being good are slim, it still has a chance. And it would be awful to ignore an amazing series based on assumptions.
It’s not about the book, it’s the profits will go to evil villains and no one needs to see this so bad that it’s worth it.
They say capitalism can be managed by customers controlling their spending but people regularly put their own convenience above everyone else and so that never happens. Nestle doesn’t have to be good because people will still buy their garbage even if they printed “we stole the water to make this” right on the label.
It’s just a TV show. If you can’t live without it then you’re completely broken.
I think the joke is more like judging the book by its publisher than by its cover. I would be hyped if all we saw was the cover, but that's probably also missing the point of giving the show a chance to either excite or disappoint.
I'm cautiously optimistic if for no other reason than some of the original peeps are the ones creating it.
Yarrr, I might take a gander
Just be longer than 10 episodes
Plenty of Amazon shows are also shit. Just like how Netflix and all the others have a mix of good shows and bad shows.

„Fan“ expectations will absolutely wreck it.
Carnival Row wasn't too bad either IMO
The first season was good, I wasn't super keen on the second.
Second was fine, but it was obvious they had to wra things up way quicmer than they wanted originally.

Fallout was fucking awesome. If you’re into Fallout that is, which I am.

Someone once pointed out that in this meme, the gate controller is shouting commands to himself. Now I can't unsee it, and neither should you.
