@ bolded
I assume you meant "one of the best series finale ever"

This has to be cap sha...unless you're comparing it with other Nollywood series, then I'll agree...

While most other Nollywood shows tend to fall apart in the last episode, this one didn't

Well saying it's the one of the best series finale ever is a bit overstretched, however in recent times from 2022 to 2023, the finale of shantytown is one of the best World wide except if you just want to look down on it because it's from NIGERIA.
The twist in the last episode was mind blowing and epic and no one saw it coming.
Who thought that ini Edo's twin was alive and that she wasn't the real one?
That twist right there was world class, kudos to the writers.
The scene where all the women used a knife to stab that guy called scar was epic too.
Even some top Hollywood series has never thought of such finale, they will usually just kill off scar in a normal battle but that twist of having the Ladies stab him to death was an epic twist.
The fight scene in the last episode was decent too.

Forget that it's NIGERIA, the last episode of shantytown is one of the best series finale world wide in recent times and i stand by it 100%. 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Even the way the series ended with Regina Daniels was epic too and it gives room for a proper season two and unanswered questions like who are the girls?
Who was the last person shown in the last scene? .

The series finale is Goated ✌️✌️✌️

it's kinda hard to call it a twist when it was revealed in the first episode

Ini Edo's first scene literally gave it away that she was the twin


The scene of the girls stabbing the man was copied from a movie called: Lady Vengeance

It's one of the Vengeance trilogy...a set of classic Korean movies:
I. Sympathy for Mr Vengeance
II. Oldboy
III. Lady Vengeance

But the scene was still good...I give them props for that

The shootouts and fight scene was good too...no doubt

The last person is most likely the new governor

GRIMMJOE:
A successful show is not a show that is well written, but a show that is still in profit after the budget has been removed.

This is why shows like flash are still ongoing, they are low budget and low risk show with some profit, Also good shows will continue to have new seasons till it becomes non profitable, example Westworld, and what Succession is becoming.

If you think about it
- Why cancel a show that is still bringing in profit.

- Why finish a show that was successful, example the unnecessary Sequel of Squid Game, and the endless parts of Attack On Titan.

This also apply to movies.

People seem to forget these are business ventures,that at the end of the day their first purpose is to make profits.

Baddestguyp:
same thing ...

I generally trust users over critics...

If over 70% of users who reviewed a show think the show good then it most likely has something worth watching...

If over 90% say a show is good then it most likely is very good at least to a certain generic of people i.e those who like comedy

Same as IMDB stars or scores

Black Adam and Venom both have at least 80% audience score.

Crumbian:

at the very least they are enjoyable...
Not great movies but not a total waste of time...

But look at your critics

Shanty Town - 7/10 🇳🇬
- Nice show all round for Nollywood standard

The English - 8/10
- Emily Blunt is such a talented and beautiful woman but damnn i felt somewhat irritated later watching it regarding her character's condition but it was definitely a solid watch.. 💯

Tokyo Vice - 7.5/10
- The guy from Baby Driver , i don't know if i'll say he doesn't know how to act or his baby-ish face and body build doesn't let him look serious in my eyes anyway he tried but Noah Centineo could've killed this role but still a very good show with lots of potential 👌🏽

Star Wars: Andor - 8/10
- i didn't believe this show could've peaked my interest this much knowing how much i don't fancy the Star Wars Universe (if i'll call it that).. i mean the ray gun zap and all turns me off lol 😂 but one thing i must NOTE: is the girl that played Cinta , she's the most beautiful Asian i've seen on TV till date damnn!!! 😕😤

The Recruit - 9/10
- Everyone did justice to their character perfectly, nothing to complain about and Noah Centineo is gold👌🏽

😁😉

Americans seem to have a beef with Chris Pratt, so I'm not surprised by that review. For me, Terminal list is a 60% series at best.



Maybe it's the strongest to them because they think the previous ones are shit? The best resident evil adaptations are the 3D animated ones from Japan (Biohazard).


Is that review for welcome to racoon city? Did it say why they think it's the strongest.

Didn't know I could see another animated series for a while that I'll enjoy.

Captivating storyline with interesting characters.

Still in S1 and I'm binging this non stop till the end of S2

I mean, if you blame even the innocent Marlians and claim they deserve it...

Then the innocent Eldians also deserve what they suffered since afterall their ancestors did far worse than the Marlians did

Marlians too are evil, turning people into titans.
And they also have an outrageous plan to exterminate the eldians by making them barren. That's brutal bro.
Eren too has the same plan. But this time, instead of making his enemies barren. He is going for the kill, no long story.

Eren too has the same plan. But this time, instead of making his enemies barren. He is going for the kill, no long story.

that isn't Marley's plan oh...

Marley is a powerful nation, mostly because of their reliance on the titans...they had 7 titans

However, other nations used their time to develop weapons strong enough to take down Titans...like the armoured train and the anti titan weapons...
And also aircraft to take down Titans from the sky.
So Marley that has lots of enemy nations is at risk of losing its dominance in global affairs

Since the power Marley relies on is losing its dominance, Marley needs time to catch up in technology...to do that they need the founding Titan which is still miles above any technology in the AOT world

Marley has been severely weakened that's why they also needed to form a global alliance to redirect the hatred to Paradis Island...they united the world against Paradis with the threat of the Rumbling


The Person who wants Subjects of Ymir to be barren is only Zeke and his followers like Yelena. They called it the Euthanization plan...
This is because Zeke wants to end all the suffering in the world as a result of the existence of Titans...
So he made the plan for the Subjects of Ymir to die out slowly while using the threat of the rumbling to keep themselves safe from the world till they die out...
He wanted a slow painless death of all subjects of Ymir so the world can be free from the curse of Titans in about a 100 years

Eren played along and foôled him

Eren's plan is:
-to enable his friends live long lives...
- to end the power of Titans once and for all but without his friends sacrificing themselves for it
- to achieve his childhood idea of Freedom

As someone who read the manga I can confirm that season 2 will have some goat-tier character development

To dey follow Baddestguy yarn dey tiresome most times.....

Dude brought Rotten Tomatoes rating for the Terminal List with his audience score agenda and then refused to bring the same RT rating for Resident Evil cos him wan push agenda. Baba go find mumu reviews wey favor him narrative come post am give ppl. Cos I dey wonder who give Netflix resident evil remakes good ratings.

Even on IMDb wey dey give points for fun, na stupid score e get.

RT ratings have been controversial for a long time but still, one thing I've found true is that if a show or movie is rated around 30% it's definitely true it's rubbish. Audience score that is very prone to review bombing and whims of the audience. The only times where it holds up mostly true is when it's a project that doesn't have an already large following. Just an independent or original project. That way it's more neutral.

I do not trust audience score for one reason; Most of them don't even know what makes a good movie. For them it's mostly about how much they enjoy it. So if a movie is bad but they enjoy it the score is high and if it's good but they don't enjoy it, their score is low. Also, audiences do not give high ratings to movies whose content they do not really understand.


I also use to disregard RT but then I realise that I've never watched a movie or series with RT ratings of 70% and above then go "This movie is shit" even when it's not my kind of movie, even when I don't like what the movie is about.


Metacritics is the review site I actually trust the most cos for a movie to get 70% on that site, it's really good. The night house for example have 88% rating on RT but I don't think it managed to get up to 70% on Metacritics.

Gbam!! You've said it all. How can I like this multiple times.
If audience scores were that important, people won't be _bitching everytime RT scores downgrades a new project. IMDb would have been the preeminent review site if it was that accurate.

Audiences don't really know how to rate their entertainment. Something can be very boring but very good at the same time. Shame movie reminded me of this. For an average watcher, that film is sure getting a downvote for not delivering on enjoyment.

I've almost never been let down by RT with a 70% upwards score. Only time it was iffy was with A24's The Green Knight, still it was average to me (wasn't trash) and good in some aspects even tho I didn't really like it.


Metacritic normal na very stingy review aggregator. If you get 70% and above for there, you go do Thanksgiving. 😂😭

I said I don't trust Critics Score...
I prefer and I'll choose Audience score anyday....anytime over critics score...

He said he prefers Critics score...

We both showed why

So what exactly is the problem?

None can be said to be infallible... Audience score has worked better for me and earned my trust more...

Same way you don't trust Audience score...is same way I don't trust Critics score

Choose what works for you...

For me, my point is clear...
If a movie has something to offer, the audience will rate it high...70% is my pass mark

My belief is that Critics on the other hand have too much agenda affecting their ratings...that's why I don't trust them at all

Better oil dey your head. I've said something similar before when I talked about movies failing at the box office due to bad reviews from critics. Audience reviews are shit. A movie could be getting up to 80% there and still be flopping. All those great reviews from people that prolly went to see the movie only once. It might not always be the case but majority of movies that did well at the box office even CBM have decent reviews from critics. Those guys have serious influence because even though they might be biased sometimes, 85% of the time they know what they are saying.

I don't have problems with your preference for audience score.

I just find it weird in your comparison you didn't bring similar comparisons screenshots for the films in question. It can be misleading.

I'll eventually check out that anime you posted. Legend of... cos I like sci-fi, space exploration and futuristic movies.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes...

I'm watching the original series...so it has old animation...1988

Watch order:

LOGH: My Conquest is the sea of stars
LOGH: Overtures to a New War
LOGH: OVA (episode 3-110)
LOGH: Gaiden

Currently around episode 65 of the OVA series

BMF ( black Mafia family) season 2 has been a solid 8/10 so far for me.

Though it's just three episodes since the season 2 started, the series has been a solid 8/10 so far.

I must and will always pay my respect to 50cent for this legacy he is trying to build.

From a Gangstar from the ghetto to a gangster rapper from getting shot 9 times to coming back again to the Rap game and then cleaning up himself, leaving the crime and drug life completely to investing in various businesses and companies and now to movies and series, to having his own walk of Fame and all those success.

50 cent is the perfect definition and real Life ambassador of coming out of the game and then totally cleaning yourself, your image and your reputation and have billionaires and business executives and notable people in the society getting to do business with you, make friends with you and sit at their tables.

I am not in support of crime, but sometimes i I wish all these internet scammers that has made so much money can just learn from the life of 50 cent and how to get out of the game before you get killed or go to jail.

Seeing his influence and works on the power franchise and now BMF and some movies is just too cool.

Like it or not but 50 cent is an icon and one of the most respected black man in the whole world.
