This movie looks like a nightmare.


I would hate to be stuck in this pink cotton candy excuse of a world.

Why?

Everyone's happy and there's Margot Robbie in bright day-glo clothes to stare at all day. Call me shallow, but it sure beats *this* miserable world.

Gothic buildings are more my aesthetic.

BECAUSE YOU ARE A GARGOYLE...AND NOT THE COOL FOX KIDS AFTER SCHOOL KIND EITHER.

Sorry, I can't read this message in my dark castle.

As long as she's not a vagina-less Barbie.

She has nice clothes, cool accessories, a hot career(s), lots of friends, drives a nice car, lives in an expensive townhouse and has a handsome boyfriend.

It still looks like Candyland.

The world is like heaven in The Good Place. The movie basically provides a fantasy for the people, while the producers of this horrible concept get to mock their target audience and rake in some of the most lazily acquired fortune ever.

"while the producers of this horrible concept get to mock their target audience"

I have to agree. The plot sounds horrible. They should have had fun it. I think it'll tank, but who knows?

Even kids will find it lame.

I actually find the aesthetic pleasing (not gay).

I can see basic colors, but I always fail the color vision test - the one with the numbers formed out of colored dots - because I can't differentiate the subtle shade differences.

The tradeoff is that I have top notch low-light vision. I can see in very dark places.

As a result, I really enjoy exaggerated color schemes. The Dr Suess zone of Universal's Islands of Adventure, for example:

I like looking at cartoon maps like in that link, but as a real life movie, I can't stand it.
