Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Whoa. Wasn’t she on the verge of puberty at the end of the last one? I’m not sure I want this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceChampion Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I heard the first season is 480 minutes long, while the original cartoon was only 460 minutes. So it seems they have plenty of time to cover everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yep, I saw that shit in theaters) Once again I feel the tone is waay to serious and desaturated.Why do people always forget there was alot of humour and lightness to the series along with its heavier themes ? I did get some chills hearing the original music though, too bad they fired the original creators…..I don’t have high hopes but considering the teaser got almost 3Mn views in like 12 hours I’d say Netflix definitely has another series like the Witcher on their hands which they’ll be able to confidently milk for a few seasons without any care on it’s quality sigh… ironically enough, Netflix has a much better track record with animation, I wish they had instead worked on the sequels to Korra like avatar studios is doing right now rather than a a pointless live action remake.

Ran Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij back at it after The OA, though the icy area and punk "Gen Z Sherlock Holmes" hacker makes it feel like they're doing a spin on Stig Larsson's Lisbeth Salander novels. Very curious. Also good to see Clive Owen on TV, he was fantastic on The Knick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started out somewhat twee and slow, but had some real great beats and buildups and season 3 ended well...and then the last two seasons have been so incredibly dull.

Wilbur Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Holy cow, it's my own school experience, but with a positive adult influence! Seriously, though, Paul Giamatti is just great in everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard of Banefort Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Three Body Problem is set to premiere this spring. As much as I hate how much I’ve been defending D&D this year. . . doesn’t this all fly in the face of the allegation that they rushed GOT to start their movie career? Wouldn’t they be off making movies now in that case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't rule out that that in the back of their minds, the sooner they were done the sooner they could move on to what I suspect was seen by them as a holy grail of IP. I agree that they were really tired, but before the Star Wars deal, they were planning on doing another HBO show next (Confederate). I think that S8 would have turned out the same way even if they were unattached, because it was basically just an extension of how they wrote season 5-7. Show-fans didn’t care about any of the plot holes or bad dialogue when they were still getting all the battles and spectacle that they loved. I really believe that if S8 had the same quality writing but with a wish fulfillment ending where Jon slays the monster and Daenerys becomes the beloved goddess-queen, most people truly would have regarded it as the best season ever. Of course, that still doesn’t reflect well on D&D, since either way they wrote all of this. But I think the TV-media hype machine created something of a self-fulfilling prophecy that ruined the quality of GOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
