Hide in the fridge like Indiana Jones?
It's getting worse and worse. I'm watching it only because Tilly gets fatter and fatter and I want to see what happens if she doesn't fit through the doors anymore.
It was even scarier before, it was a 10 body system/problem, but thanks to Neil DeGrasse Tyson and his buddies, Pluto was demoted from planet to a dwarf planet, so have 10% less scary life now.
No, she was in her underwear in one scene, throwing up, nothing sexy, sorry.
If you liked The Lord of the Rings movies and hated Hobbit-movies, then The Rings of Powers is even worse than Hobbit. Keep being not interested :)
Lol. I was TWD fan. I accidentally saw some reruns from season 1-2. It was great and then I remembered why I liked it. Now it's always the same, main characters find some dictatorship or fascist community and either fighting it or trying to dissolve from withing. Dead are just environmental hazard.
In season1-2 there where good actors, maybe not Hollywood a-listers, but still people who were either been or were becoming known faces. Laurie Holden, Jon Bernthal, Michael Rooker, Sarah Wayne Callis.
Now all those spin-offs have one or two characters from the original series and all others are totally unknown talentless actors and actresses who weren't good enough to be even a zombie in TWD season 1. And all storylines are already recycled many times.
No. Grabbed my phone soon. Same old same old, boring.
Wow, those basement dwellers have a lot of power. I should move to a basement, then I can bring down tv-series.
Just like a expected, exactly the type of comment "mommy-mommy, that boy is a liar", with lot of personal insults and f-words. No real numbers, no evidence.
Lo, talking about losers, you've been writing 10 000+ comments. Have you tried real life, like ever? :D
Well, they do look like a young couple in love and Padme gives birth to Luke and Leia later so it's more a matter of do they have sex during Attack of the Clones or during Revenge of the Sith. More of a question of when, not yes/no.
She looked her age (50) and that was the problem when it was revealed that she's pregnant. She looks 50 offscreen too.
Like I said, count the screentime and come back with real numbers, otherwise all you have is "mommy, that boy is a liar!".
Yes, clips were 5-10 minutes maybe, but how long the monster was on screen? 2 seconds at a time? Watch those scenes again and come back with exact numbers, no point of arguing before that.
I don't need to embellish anything. Some of the episodes had like 2-3 seconds of monster-time, so no, I don't embellish and I'm not mistaken.
Watch all those monster-scenes again and come back with real numbers, no point of arguing before that.
I mentioned "some weird monster on the ice". So no, I didn't forget that. I specifically didn't mentioned Godzilla in San Francisco, because I wasn't sure they weren't from the Godzilla movie.
So, we have ten scene with monsters in ten episodes. I said that they were like 1,5 minutes combined, 90 seconds or 9 seconds per episode. Well, 9 is more than a couple :)
Maybe some nerd will run exact numbers, but it can't be much more than 1,5 minutes combined.
Oh, I watched the series as soon as the episodes came online. So, what do I remember of those monsters?
In the very beginning we have John Goodman watching a crab fighting a spider for a few seconds.
In some early episode they showed couple of seconds of some flying monster on top of a ship in the jungle.
In some early episode they showed a few seconds of Godzilla near some island.
In some early episode they showed a few seconds huge cockroaches, Dr. Miura fell into pit.
Somewhere in the middle they showed a few seconds of Godzilla before the nuclear detonation.
Somewhere in the middle they showed a few seconds of some weird monster on the ice.
Somewhere in the middle they showed a few seconds of Godzilla in the desert.
In the end they showed a few seconds of some big warthog monster walking around in the inner world.
In the end they showed a few seconds of Godzilla fighting some flying monster in the inner world.
A few seconds here and there. Did I missed something? Was it really more than one minute? One minute and 30 seconds? 1,5 minutes in ten episode about one hour each. So we had 1,5 minutes of monsters out of 10 hours. Wow, what a great "monster-show".
Lol, I read the article. It looks like you didn't. Let's see what does that "record viewership" actually means.
"13.3 million viewers, making its debut the biggest for Disney Branded Television and a top five season premiere of 2023 on Disney+ and Hulu."
So, it means it's a top five of 2023. Not best of all time, not best of 2023, just top five of 2023. And it's not top five all shows, just top five of Disney Branded Television. So, it's top five in a very small group and let's see what shows it was compared to:
As for Disney Branded Television, that group includes such shows as Goosebumps, The Santa Clauses, KIFF, Big City Greens, Superkitties, Bluey, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, and more.
So, it was amongst top five within unknown tv-shows. I literally haven't heard about any of them. Yes, it's definitely a huge W for Disney. Disney sure needs those wins after losing hundreds of billions of dollars in couple of years.
I haven't watched those small budget Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One movies, so I can't comment on them. But I did see that 2014 Godzilla and luckily some nerd in Reddit ran the numbers. So, here's the screen time:
Godzilla: 9:29 (7.7% of runtime)
Male Muto: 6:48
Female Muto: 7:22
All Monsters: 16:10 (13.1% of runtime)
So, in a movie where monsters take a backseat, they still have decent screentime. 16 minutes of screentime of 2h movie. Monarch: Legacy of Monsters had about ten hour runtime and monsters had about one minute of screentime total. I don't have exact numbers about Monarch, but monsters had roughly about 100 times less screentime compared to a movie where they already had backseat. Is there even a correct term for that? Backseat of a backseat of a backseat?
By the way, I checked imdb-ratings and Rotten Tomatoes audience scores (critics score was a tie) and Kong Skull Island had slightly higher rating than Godzilla and once they were on the island after 30 minutes, then for the rest of the movie, monsters had about 40-50% screentime.
"Honestly, I think most viewers want everything but monsters and monsters fighting one another"
Yes, when Godzilla-movie is in the movie theaters, then most people who buy tickets, they want everything but Godzilla fighting other monsters. Most viewers think that the best Godzilla-movie is a movie where Godzilla gets exactly 0 seconds of screentime.
The same goes for the tv-series. When the series' name is Legacy of Monsters, then everybody starts watching it because of the hope that there will be no monsters in it.
No there weren't any black Greeks. Black people are from sub-Saharan Africa. Northern Africa has pretty light skinned people. If you watch some Olympic games long or middle distant races, there are often runners from Algeria, Morocco or Tunesia. Their skin is so light, that sometimes it's even in lighter tone than actual white people. Egyptians also have lighter skin. Rami Malek (born in USA) who played Freddie Mercury, has egyptian parents. I didn't even know that, because he looks like just another white guy.
So no, let's not start re-writing history like "Greeks were black or some Greeks were black". No they weren't. Light or olive skin and Homer described Achilles as blond. So let's stop the silly talk to justify showrunners racism and toxicity. They are evil people and there is no justification for butchering Achilles character.
