I still don't fully believe Matt Reeves. They're probably trying to distract us. I see it now.

The climatic scene of the final episode. Sofia thinks she has Oz cornered but then he looks to the east, to see Victor arrive with the gang bosses. Oz takes the lead and as he and Sofia and their forces charge at each other. Just before they clash, a dark figure swoops down between them. It's The Dark Knight. He throws out his arms towards both parties. They stop in their tracks, all attention on him. Batman reaches into his toolbelt and pulls out... A can of Pepsi.

Cinema 🤣🤣🤣

9/10? Wow, after your years of capping how the show wasn't all that. 9/10 is a near perfect score tho, so how does your stance of it being "overhyped" fit your narrative cuz going by this your score, it seems the show it's worth all the hype 🤷🏾‍♂️.

So from the said overhype, was there anything they praised the show for, that was false?

Btw, After this watch, how does it compare with your bae, AOT? 🫣

The hype I was getting when I watched Arcane made me go into it with unreal expectations. It was a good show but some LOL fans were calling it the best show ever made.


For your second question, it is nowhere near AOT.

In animated medium, these are the best written shows I've ever watched -

1. Attack on Titan
2. Legend of the Galactic Heroes
3. Neon Genesis Evangelion and End of Evangelion
4. Monster
5. Vinland Saga


Arcane is good tho, but it is unranked on my list of top animated shows...

But in terms of best written Western animated shows -

1. Avatar : the last Airbender
2. Arcane


The reason I have Avatar above Arcane is that when it comes to overall plot, Avatar is a more rounded story than Arcane. But Arcane is only one season so it's not really a comparison.

Baddestguyp:
In terms of story, Arcane so far is better than Blue Eye Samurai.

I'm not saying it's an overall better show...but Blue Eye Samurai had a simpler story of revenge...

Arcane on the other hand has multiple stories of several characters which intertwine.

You are funny, so what makes a better story is it's "Complexity ??"

Band Of Brothers


Nothing to add, it is IT!

I have given my full review of Arcane.

You can read it.

Beauty in the black - 8.3/10

Given it's a Tyler Perry show, I reluctantly watched the series without expecting much but mehn I was shocked. This show turns out to be a pretty decent hit.

Now, I can't wait for season 2

WriterNig:

stop rating TV shows. You know nothing

Did I hear shots fired? 👀👀👀

Na cartoon abi na anime

No matter the animation ignorant people would mock you for watching it. My guys see me watching Family guy and they say what do I enjoy in watching it. Like they think family guy is some kid show because it is animated. Me. IDGAF. I watch everything.

3 days to go. The weapons that shook the plot of Arcane.

Looking forward to seeing Ambessa in action this new season, as well as what her weapons of choice will be.

You are free to disagree

No one is talking about FROM

Animated series are hot these days and most even posit more engaging arguments than most TV series here

Predestin:

have you given a full review of Blue eye Samuri?

Yes. Although I didn't go as in-depth and mostly criticized the finale

Quoted below:

Baddestguyp:
Blue Eye Samurai.....7.5/10


Great show. Better than I expected tbh.

But I didn't like the finale at all. Nothing in the finale made any sense.

The entire palace being burned to shreds from a little candle that was previously chilling on the floor? Wtf??
If it were that easy for the palace to burn, it would have burnt down since. No one would randomly keep a little candle on the floor if it were that easy.

Funny thing is the place the fire started from barely burnt, but everywhere else got burnt severely

The entire Palace invasion made no sense. From tactics to characters actions, to staging of the Army. It was just a poorly done finale in my opinion.


Another issue that bugged me from the start was Mizu's motivation. I just had a hard time with it throughout the show.

She has internal hatred for her race, the entire social and political system, etc cos the society hates her race and calls her a monster. Okay cool.
But then she wants to find and kill her Western father for giving her life into this world??

I mean, no matter how much you hate your race, I find it nonsensical to spend you entire life looking for your father cos he gave you that Western DNA. Even to the extent of travelling to London to find him to kill home just cos he brought you into this world?

If she doesn't like her race, let her just kill herself and let others be. I really struggled to sympathize with her because of her motivation...

Not saying it's bad, I'm saying it didn't move me at all. I struggled to rationalize it. That's just my personal opinion tho...others may like her motivations...I tried the rationalize it...but I couldn't

Or maybe there is something else I missed about her motivations? If so, let someone here specify what I missed


I still think the show offers some solid characters (despite it's obvious wokeness and feminism).
The characters and messages stood out for me.

The animation despite being CGI was also okay. If it were an anime, anime fans would treat it like a plague since they hate anything CGI (except it's a Western show).

I enjoyed the show...and I definitely recommend...


Just a few issues especially the finale that threw me off

Another complaint about the writing on the finale and the dûmbing down of characters to make the plot happen

Baddestguyp:
An Army is raiding the Shôgûn palace armed with gûns...

The Shogûn guards have only swords and arrows...

What do you do?
Try to force close range combat by laying quick ambush in tight spaces they'll pass

OR

Attempt to face them in open long spaces with Swords and Arrows



Guess which one the guards picked?

How TF was the Shogûn palace impenetrable with these dûmbàsses guarding it?

Blue Eye Samurai > Arcane because nudity

There...i said it

Why you nor drop your own lengthy review regarding what you've seen in FROM and The Penguin? Perhaps twill get the thread from the "disturbance of animation"?

No mind am.

Complain when people talk about animation, but they can't contribute about non-animated shows

This one soldier boy is coming back, I hope one eye Maeve will return too

Good, so can fully pretend season 3 doesn't exist since the entire season 3 amounted to nothing and it ended how it began

2 days to go. One of the best aspects of Arcane is its music, which is not surprising if you've come across League of Legends media a few times.
The old joke that Riot Studios is a music company masquerading as a video game company doesn't even really feel like a joke these days cos Riot has really grown their in-house music portfolio to crazy levels.

Arcane: Season I had an absolutely magnificent OST album. The score encompassed multiple genres including pop, jazz, country, hip-hop & rock. It took an already amazing story and elevated it to greater heights by accentuating the environment and moods in various scenes.
I still can't tell whether Jinx and Ekko's fight was animated with Dynasties and Dystopia in mind or vice versa. And I really don't believe the climactic scene hits as hard as it does without What Could Have Been by Sting and Ray Chen playing in the background.

From a few tracks released for promotion from the Season II soundtrack album, I have no doubts we're getting another amazing soundtrack. Whether it'll beat the Season I soundtrack still remains to be seen.

The hype is real bro.....

The level of writing in Attack on Titan continues to amaze me everyday with every new detail I notice.

(Read manga right to left) - I added the following pages to show before someone here claims I am reaching or overanalyzing

#copied from Reddit a comment that perfectly explains this -


"In season 4 episode 13 "Children of the Forest," Sasha's dad has a beautiful speech saying that adults need to keep the children out of the forest. It's up to adults to shoulder the sins of the past and not pass that burden on to the children. In several places in the series, the forest is used as a metaphor for all the terrible things people do to each other. Artur Braun encourages people to leave the forest and find peace, bury the hatchet, forgive each other.

The episode with Hange stirring the pot of stew uses this forest imagery a lot (also with the tree branches)

So here (this image is far earlier in chapter 71) Grisha is literally and figuratively leading Eren into the forest. Telling Eren to avenge his mom's death, passing on the Titan powers. Seeing this scene in light of what comes later stopped me in my tracks."

An added layer to this scene is that it is later revealed that future (present) Eren manipulated his father into taking him into the forest...

He did this by purposely sending specific memories to him and feeding on his rage...and desire for revenge...

But his father, being an adult should have known better especially with his experience with his first son, than to lead his second son, Eren to the forest.

Shows another fault of Grisha as a father
