this is a sci-fi show by Rooster Teeth about gen:LOCK technology being pressed into a war before it's ready and how that impacts the protagonists.

now those of you know know of Rooster Teeth through RWBY know that RWBY has problems.

Mostly that they have no idea where the worldbuilding is going and that they don't do enough planting and payoff (read: asspull).
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss

I say this as someone who likes RWBY.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss

gen:LOCK has neither of these problems.

the bad guys aren't very fleshed out - the Union is just a bundle of stalinist fascist tropes - but they're consistent, and the main advantage the good guy Polity has over them is uh
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:01 AM
that the Polity does not routinely murder intellectuals
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:01 AM
which means that Polity tech is better.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:01 AM
for instance, the Polity has gen:LOCK tech.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss

I am being light on descriptions of what that actually is.

If I recall, Season 1 ended with hints that Season 2 would get more into what the Union's deal is
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:02 AM
because it spoils the first episode.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:02 AM
which is here. on youtube. for free.
MundersOWundus

gen:LOCK FULL EPISODE 1
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:02 AM
Michael B Jordan's delivery is a little stiff in this but he gets much better.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:02 AM
go and watch that.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:02 AM
then watch the rest of gen:LOCK.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:03 AM
and suffer with me as I play Chase on dreamwidth rp.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:03 AM
thank you I will be taking questions at this time.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:03 AM
gen:LOCK has one problem and that it's not long enough.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:03 AM
I don't mean that I can't wait for season 2.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:04 AM
I mean that gen:LOCK is the first time I went "this series could use some filler episodes."
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:04 AM
it never stops. ever. Kamen Rider Build was less frantic.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:04 AM
it could have been 13 episodes; we got 8.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:04 AM
but with that in mind.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:05 AM
what it never stops doing is excellent, and it is a fucking masterclass in planting and payoff. there is no plot point that isn't foreshadowed.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:05 AM
please watch gen:LOCK.
MundersOWundus
@therealbliss
Fri, Apr 17, 2020 2:05 AM
that is all.
