A lot politicians talk without accents. Beto O'Rourke doesn't sound like a Texan, Adam Schiff talks like he never lived a day in Southern California, etc.
Exactly. I’m from Tulsa and I find the accentuated accent annoying to the point of being immersion breaking.
)I thought I recognized him. He’s a strong early candidate to be the most interesting character in this series.
loads of Trump supporters were furious with the opening scene showing a race war.
Well, less of a race war and more of a white-on-black massacre. One that actually happened, too.
Some fans hate the strong focus on white suprematist group making it too 'political'. But like Mockney explained in a post on last page that shines more light on their own biases.
Rotten Tomatoes is even worse, it is at 42% for audience.
The section of the populace that is more sympathetic towards the 7th Cavalry than the ‘superheroes’ has a history of being easily mobilized online.
I could be really wrong here but I don't think the white supremacists / white supremacist supporters are that big a group. And even if they are, I don't think they have that massive an online presence. And even if they do, the PC Gang should have overcorrected for them. That's what I've seen in many of these controversial films/shows. Captain Marvel is a good example. The movie had really poor ratings even before its release as many men weren't really big fans of Brie Larson. But now I look at the ratings and it has a score of 7 on ImdB and if you ask me, it's a 6,6.5 movie at best.
I can't think why anyone would rate this show that low though other than because they are sensitive about the subject matter. For it to be ranking in the 40-60% region you'd need to have peopledeliberately tanking it rather than being objective, and if it's not people who don't like the white supremacist theme, who else would it be?
Eh? As it stands he’s 3 for 3.
People are still pissed about the ending of lost (and rightfully so) and very few people have actually seen the leftovers despite the glowing reviews. So for most people Lindelof is the guy who fecked up what could have been one of the best shows of all time, a bit like how D&D are hated for fecking up GOT
At first I thought that it was a witty United remark.
I mean, there was certainly enough of them to elect the current president and form the bulk of his executive.
It's not. Overrated. It's like a very good question, without a good answer.
Game of Thrones was still an amazing television show, in spite of the weak ending, as was Lost. The Leftovers is fantastic, people not watching it doesn’t make it weaker. Like I said, 3 for 3.
I was getting that vibe a little from some of Watchmen episode 3. It seems the thing now though to string along the audience with tantalising tid bits in lieu of a more well structured story. I think of it as the Westworld effect but I'm sure Lost popularised it.
If that's how you feel about The Leftovers, then you kinda missed the whole point of it, which was that the answer was never important, but the journey was. Superb show which didn't overstay its welcome, with excellent all round performances, amazing music and various tones (rarely has a show handled the absurd and the dramatic as well as this) which amounted to a pretty perfect result.
You should play Death Stranding then.
What is that even about? Saw a trailer for it the other day. Worth playing?You should play Death Stranding then.
Weird demented baby shit seems to be the 'in' thing right now
Difficult question really.
Because they're cops.
Why?
Just that, or both?
I don't think the cops reveal their identity to anyone, not even to the FBI or the politicians. They say multiple times on the show that the seventh cavalry could be anywhere.
