絕世黃瓜
I started watching cursed on netflix and I have issues D<
絕世黃瓜
OK, like, it's not like serious "how dare this show" or anything
whimsea
lol, ah, cursed
絕世黃瓜
but just sort of "why is it the same get all the fun things wrong"
絕世黃瓜
shaking my fist at it like "Why are they calling her a witch as an insult in pre Arthurian times!?"
絕世黃瓜
someone give me a good fantasy series with magic and fae that isn't the same bad inaccurate tropes over and over.
alekazam
you're doing better than i, i had to stop v early on...
絕世黃瓜
before 36 minutes?
絕世黃瓜
I was mildly raging 10 minutes in
絕世黃瓜
I don't think I will watch this, but I can at least finish the episode
alekazam
yeah i didnt finish the ep OIASJDOIAJF
絕世黃瓜
that is fair
絕世黃瓜
it has evolved into a thing I can sort of hate watch at the moment at least
絕世黃瓜
.......
絕世黃瓜
protag ran away from destiny, so now her home is burned to the ground?
絕世黃瓜
I saw this coming, but, wow,
絕世黃瓜
is she an RPG protag?
whimsea
this doesn't get better
whimsea
the whole series is just...
whimsea
... yeah
絕世黃瓜
"Oh no! My family and my friends! I shouldn't have run away! Now to start my quest against the... evil kingdom of evil.... and defeat the final boss after collecting a ragtag group of misfits along my journey"
絕世黃瓜
I'm suddenly reminded that shannara is available to watch and I never watched it fully
絕世黃瓜
and maybe I should
絕世黃瓜
but also
絕世黃瓜
I have never liked shannara.....
絕世黃瓜
(I read one book, and it was the only book I never finished, stopping it about 40 pages from the end because I just couldn't take it anymore)
絕世黃瓜
to be fair, I understand shannara is a series you need to read from the beginning or something.
絕世黃瓜
and I started at like, the elf queen.....
絕世黃瓜
but, it was just
絕世黃瓜
no
絕世黃瓜
a book, even in a series, should be able to stand on it's own.
絕世黃瓜
.....
絕世黃瓜
so they went back to the village, and, what happened to her friend?
絕世黃瓜
oh dead mom
絕世黃瓜
got to make sure to kill the mom
絕世黃瓜
no RPG protag is allowed to have a mom, it's a rule
whimsea
shannara was more fun to watch than cursed
whimsea
cursed thru to the end felt, well, cursed
絕世黃瓜
how fitting
絕世黃瓜
I watched like, I feel like half of shannara and it was fun enough
絕世黃瓜
I can forgive it a lot of things since it's in the future too
whimsea
yeah its nothing grand but i liked the intro song and just, sure, go adventure, i'll watch
絕世黃瓜
also, I don't hate the author, I like his other books, I just don't like that series.
絕世黃瓜
and probably because I did jump in the middle
絕世黃瓜
and, it was like, his first series?
whimsea
oh i never bothered reading it i'll be honest
絕世黃瓜
I read the elf queen when I was in high school.
絕世黃瓜
mostly because of the title.
絕世黃瓜
and the blurb made it seem interesting
絕世黃瓜
and then half the book were these dudes in some king of crypt, and I had no idea who they were, or why they were there, and didn't care about them at all, and nothing on their end was resolved.
絕世黃瓜
and it turned out that segment was an ongoing thing from the previous book
絕世黃瓜
so it was just really annoying
絕世黃瓜
and, my god! You have all this power, you almost killed a man in the beginning of this show, and you can't kill a man killing your mother?
絕世黃瓜
you can't fight wolves?
絕世黃瓜
you need the damn sword?
絕世黃瓜
UG!
絕世黃瓜
At least in RPGs your level 1
絕世黃瓜
there is a part of me that wants to keep going
絕世黃瓜
if just to pick it apart.
絕世黃瓜
but I don't know if I feel that masochistic.
絕世黃瓜
I have standards, and one of those is to try and not hate watch things
絕世黃瓜
I am not Shen Yuan orz
絕世黃瓜
(OK I do sort of keep hate watching SAO, but, that's more SAO keeps offering things that are promising, and start out pretty cool and fun, and then nose dive into "WHY!?")
絕世黃瓜
(Also, waiting a few years between series lets you forget how much the previous series was just kind of not that good in hindsight)
whimsea
sao is another kind of hell
whimsea
but cursed is better as background noise as you do other things
絕世黃瓜
I was eating dinner and complaining about it as it went on, so, that was OK
絕世黃瓜
I guess it was co written by frank miller?
絕世黃瓜
Well, that explains much
絕世黃瓜
I want a good show
絕世黃瓜
where are the good shows orz
絕世黃瓜
where is the sandman tv show?
絕世黃瓜
I don't like magicians either.
絕世黃瓜
oh Lupin seems neat. (Unrelated to fantasy though)
絕世黃瓜
oh Luna Nera seems neat
絕世黃瓜
thinking of that, I really miss the French show Black Point.
絕世黃瓜
it was really cool and I wish it had a third season
whimsea
oh yeah that one was fun
絕世黃瓜
it was like it got cancelled right as it was getting really interesting too. :c
