Lol! Funny enough, peak battle shounen fights back in the day used to take like 12+ episodes 😁😁

Kaycee7:
So she wrote Fleabag, 4 episodes of Killing Eve and was a co-screenwriter on No Time to Die. Interested in seeing what she'll cook here.

Baddestguyp:
I think they measure demand based on online talks about a show

pu7pl3:


Fights where they stop and go back in time and then give exposition and then do one move and then characters remember stuff in between taking shots?

Omo I can't deal

Baddestguyp:
Why is no one talking about this?

Record of Ragnarok season 2 is out on Netflix!!!

Netflix needs to learn to start releasing anime weekly

Blueelf:


Bro the animation for seaso 1 was whack

I didnt even get past the first 10mins of episode 1

IngeniousLeez:


Lmao... 🤣😂😂

pu7pl3:


Did you watch the first season?

Baddestguyp:
Amazon Prime's The Boys outperforms all of Marvel Studios' Disney+ series to become 2022's most-watched superhero program.

Baddestguyp:
it's either high frames and low character details...
Or low frames with high character details/ design

They chose the later...
If they went with lower quality designs, fans would complain...

Plus it's Netflix

GRIMMJOE:
I just finished Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and every frame is a picture with fluid combat and animation.

Stop encouraging Netflix in producing low animation.

Shanty Town......7.5/10

It's one of the best written and directed Nollywood movie I've seen. It's good to be back at Nollywood and not be disappointed.

It is expertly written as well as directed. The Cinematography was top notch no doubt. Nice musical score to propel the story.
I didn't necessarily liked the entire sound design or SFX department but it was decent. The acting was superb by the entire cast. The location selection was great.

Aboderin's death scene was the most captivating scene and I give a huge _thumbs up to the director for that specific direction. It won the film a 0.5 point. Aboderin easily got the best dialogue I've ever seen in a Nollywood film and Chidi Mokeme must be commended for this amazing piece of work. Ise Nkpe Etim most be given kudos as well. I've never been disappointed by her ever. Ini Edo and Nancy delivered their quota as well. RMD, what can I say, showed his mettle why he's a veteran and a legend.

The fight scenes in the warehouse looked kinda funny but Aboderin's fight vs the bodyguard in the later stages was decent. The warehouse scene is probably the weakest in the entire series, but it doesn't negatively impact the third act.

Was it entertaining? Absolutely. Was it funny? I laughed all through even in serious scenes (especially Scar) as his delivery was the very replica of an average Lagos thug and _p!mp.
Was it serious? Oh yes!! Was it perfect? No, nothing is! It had a few plotholes but nothing much to complain of.


Easily the best Nollywood movie with a well balanced cast.... from the old guard to the new guard all giving their input. I'm glad there weren't an overload of too much stars that you're more interested in the celeb than the actual story itself.

For the nudity, of course an added 0.5 point for the realism and commitment to take the topic seriously. 😁
_{The producers of this show knew the assignment and they delivered it well. I'm now more inclined to start watching Nollywood now after a long hiatus.}

Setting up a future sequel was unnecessary but I understand the producers. They want to tap from its success.


My rating isn't Nollywood standard. It's what I'd give it if I was rating a similar Hollywood flick. It's that good so I see no reason giving a seperate Nollywood category rating system. For the story it was telling and the delivery, it is worth every point it wins as a great movie.

I'm glad Nollywood is improving, growing and moving away from the generic "safe" genre they've always stuck to.
I always knew the Netflix investment in Nollywood would drive growth and I'm glad I'm finally seeing it even tho it's in trickles. Hoping the competition from Amazon intensifies this growth. 👌

my bad i thought this was posted on the movies thread.

The way HBO go take pack awards this upcoming Emmys ehn. E go loud gan!
I dey doubt whether Netflix go fit compete like this with this kind of slate in awards season.
HBO is definitely winning most nominations asides from awards won.

And we're not even talking about smaller hits like The Gilded Age and The White Lotus. Barry sef dey there for comedy.

DOyaskii:
Make i no lie, it's been quite a while i have seen a HBO series that i didn't like. It's like they have a special magnet to all the good series script and talented series makers. I'm not even surprised that they are always raking in Emmys each year. There 2023 slate consist of "The Last of Us", Barry S4, Succession S4, The Idol, The White House plumbers, True Detective S4 just to name a few. Stellar Stellar line up and Potential Emmy contenders!

abduleez1:


Bro you sef dey updated....

That White House Plumbers and The Idol are two of HBO's upcoming project I'm most anticipated for including Love and Death, that Elizabeth Olsen homicide series.
My body dey shake for the upcoming content. 😍😍

I'm struggling to remember an HBO show I didn't like sef. They are just too good.

The one wey dey shock me is how they always come up with a new show every year that is a mega hit and well liked and critically acclaimed.
I am not even shocked again and just anticipate the next wowza.
I wanted to do an HBO upcoming show compilation for this year but laziness no gree me.

Baddestguyp:
The physics on that goddess' brèasts in Record on Ragnarok ehn?
Aphrodite abi what's her name?

So heavy that she needs two bodyguards to hold up the milkers

Yet so light that it bounces at any slight wind or tremor

I need to understand what the animators are cooking

Took your recommendation and put everything else on pause and took on "his dark materials" and I've not looked back cos it completely drew me in in ways I never expected.
HBO has the formula down
