There were paranormal elements in S1 though.
If a woman is hurting, abusing or attacking you, you can fight back. You know that right?
His videos are definitely fun to watch if you want to laugh at an idiot for 20 minutes.
I can't wait until the grifters you listen to talk about something else so I don't have to hear this same bullshit over and over and over again.
Woke isn't real. Only the people complaining about it.
"Jesse gets mad at Walt for a really stupid reason." Which is what? Poisoning Brock? You know he did end up doing that right?
The third one wasn't stupid because a good hacker could easily get past Gus's encryption anyways. There's no way Walter would have counted on that picture being in the evidence room leading to the secret account.
The real mistake was burning down the lab without destroying the cameras.
You're not a misogynist per say. You just fell for Walter White's brainwashing.
The woman he was cheating on was way more beautiful, but anyways, are you saying if his wife wasn't beautiful, than it'd be okay? Interesting morality you got there.
To me it was the first half of S3 that had some terrible pacing. Nadeem's slog of an introduction, and the fact that nothing was really happening. Nobody is in trouble, there's no stakes and nobody has a goal pushing the narrative forward. Everyone is pretty much just moping. Karen mopes about Matt being dead, Foggy mopes about Karen moping about Matt. There's a seed of an idea about Karen learning that Matt is alive, but she doesn't do anything. Matt spends an entire episode walking around a hotel, and it does nothing but waste time because the end result of the scene was "I wanna kill Fisk." WE KNOW THAT. Absolutely terrible pacing.
Never read the book. Kept up with everything. It's complicated, there's a lot of plotlines and characters, but it's nothing that requires background knowledge to be understood on its own.
I'd be inclined to agree with you, but I can't on account of being an adult. I don't want Disney villains in my stories. Give me nuance and moral grey.
"woke..." Idiot confirmed.
The show has been universally praised buy the vast majority of adults who watch it so...
...hey that's okay. Keep trying to shrink the world into your narrow view. Not like there isn't enough of that on the internet.
Just because a woman is strong and has muscle, doesn't make her a man. It just means she's a woman with muscle.
Stop being an imbecile.
Translation: I am incapable of seeing anything beyond the surface, therefore, I will preemptively assume that's all there is.
There is certainly style to be had here, tons of it. But if think the story is nothing but style, you're not looking hard enough. The animation is a tool used in tandem with the themes to explore the psyche of its characters. Jinx's style is a façade, because she has no real identity to cling onto. We see the style slowly melting away in many scenes to showcase the inner turmoil and chaos, and its done with with harrowing authenticity and rawness. Jinx's failure to return to her old self is one of the best subversions I've ever see. She can never be Powder again because her memories bring about pure mental anguish and torment.
In truth, I avoided the fact that Arcane is a YA story entirely. It's elevated to something better than what it is. The depth of story-telling here was awe-inspiring. It doesn't rely on its style as a crutch, but fuses it with the atmosphere, the tone, the themes to create stunning examples of pure visual story-telling that can rival the best classics.
It's funny you said that the first two episodes were good. I love Arcane, but I was ready to abandon ship on the first two episodes. It didn't click for me until the third episode and it became a masterpiece after that. That seems to be the consensus too, as a lot of fans of the show often tell people not swayed by the opening to stick with it until the third episode.
When did the characters make stupid decisions? The characters certainly made mistakes, but these are are flawed broken people with trauma and anger to work out.
You're entitled to your opinion, but you're in the minority. The depth of story-telling here is top-tier and elevates the YA genre. There's a reason so many grown men shed a tear when Vi reunited with Jinx. The writing made these characters just jump off the screen.
"All characters are completely unlikable, there's not a single one I root for, they are all scummy cunts."
That's not bad writing. That's just your taste in media. Why do you have to root for characters in order to appreciate the writing of a show?
Did you miss the part where Viserys had leprosy?
That's cool. Reddit's over there if you want to circle-jerk.
