The first one was all over the place. It felt both rushed and lacking in content at the same time, and the characterisation was some of the worst I can remember seeing in a ‘mainstream’ movie. By the time the credits rolled my partner and I just kinda sat there like WTF the did we just watch?
I don’t mind Synder’s stuff - he’s the very definition of style over substance for the most part, and that’s fine if you go into things expecting that, but this was a straight up mess. It almost felt like it got absolutely butchered by the editor or something. Zero interest in seeing the rest of the ‘trilogy’. How Netflix can be so apparently invested in this bollocknaise is a mystery. All I can imagine is that they’ve invested so much money in it, expecting it to be the next big thing that they’re now desperate to try and hype it up.
So apparently this is going to be a musical? Which is an bold choice. I’m really curious how this goes down with the subset of men who have styled themselves after the Joker. I have a hard time equating cringe edge-lords and a rousing song-and-dance number.
The Gentlemen is a great series
You could have an American agent sent to a foreign country to work on the X Files with a local agent. They’d act as an audience surrogate allowing for some convenient explanations as to how things work in a society the audience may be unfamiliar with. The American agent could have been shipped abroad as a demotion and is very disinterested and sceptical of the local agents beliefs, essentially acting as the Scully to the local ‘Mulder’. Leaning into the foreigner abroad aspect could further help to enhance the otherworldly nature of the series as the agent grapples with the paranormal alongside unfamiliar beliefs, cultures and governmental/departmental bureaucracy.
I mean, I still think there is a scope for spin offs. X Files but based in Japan or India or somewhere else other than America. It would be interesting to see how cultural, governmental and societal differences influence Sci-fi conspiracy stories. If you can’t replicate David and Gillians chemistry then try a different spin altogether.
Yeah, likewise. I was surprised by how not shit the story was, tbh.
Have you played the game Carrion? Reminds me a lot of that. Good work!
Part of that truth is also that there is positive news out there, more than people are necessarily aware of, but OPs very valid point is you rarely find that discussed on Lemmy. And when it is brought up people take great delight in torpedoing it. That’s not realistic, that’s defeatist doomerism.
Well said.
Unrelated, but what is that black/dark grey thing on the desk?
