These characters spend more time hugging each other and crying than they do their jobs as members of a galactic star fleet.

Mythic Quest (2020)
SgtPancake -4 points 3 years ago*.

As someone who plays games and has knowledge about games development… this is just ridiculous. The jokes are idiotic and the characters are over the top, trash caricatures of even more idiotic tropes that have been used and abused to death by much better shows, and most importantly, the internet. Everything they do isn’t stupidly funny, it’s just stupid (but turned up to 11).

Removing the “games developer” theme would change absolutely nothing about the show. It’s a generic, politically correct sitcom that simply has it tacked on to somehow seem “cool and original”. It fails at it harder than the Big Bang Theory failed at geekdom.

Scoob! (2020)
[deleted]
SgtPancake -1 points 4 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

No, Scooby’s voice was created by Don Messick when it first aired in 1969. Welker has been the voice actor only since 2002.

Still, they could have hired Matthew Lillard for Shaggy. Also, Scooby talks too much in this one and is too easily understood. The pop culture and real life jokes and references are boring, and not at all funny. The plot is far too stupid and predictable to be interesting. I could go on.

Then again… I hate everything past the 2000s when it comes to Scooby-Doo. Especially that disgusting abomination that dares to call itself a cartoon, called “Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!”. That thing was an insult to the creators and if I ever stood in front of the degenerate moron that greenlit it for release, I’d punch the ever living snot out of them.

So I’m most certainly biased.

This is comics. It’s gonna happen regardless and imo, it doesn’t take away from the movie in any way.

My favorite part was the homage to (the best of) Days of Future Past. That’s how you do impact.

Vagrant Queen (2020)
SgtPancake -1 points 4 years ago*.

It’s been booted from the Prime Time schedule. Also, neither SyFy nor NBCUniversal have an ownership stake in the show as they make their money from advertising on same day release, but with its sinking viewership numbers this means there is a high chance it can get cancelled.

JadeEnigma 2 points 4 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

I need to be honest about this show. I enjoy it. I like Nathan Fillion. What I struggle with is how often he and his rookie police officer buddies get into life-threatening situations, where they are shot at and discharge their weapons, and yet bounce back the next day. As someone who has had to disarm aggressive people and had loaded weapons pointed at me, I find this difficult to really wrap my brain around.

But still, Nathan… Okay.

The actual episodes don’t happen day after day. There’s intermission. Something a few days, other times a week or even more.

Canuckian -1 points 4 years ago.

I haven’t watched this show yet, it is on my list of shows to see eventually (have too many on the go atm lol) but was just scrolling through and saw this show had new episodes added and i remember hearing it got cancelled awhile back due to people complaining it was too “politically RIGHT leaning” in its format” and due to Trump being elected, alot of shows were being cancelled if they had ANYTHING right leaning (Roseanne ring a bell?) Anyways, read your comment and i am completely NOT surprised at your observations..this is what they do to “smart” shows..they cancel them, then bring them back all dumbed down for the masses so “everyone” can enjoy it now. I assume Season 6 was the last season before it was cancelled awhile back and Season 7 is the “revival” season with “upgraded” characters? I HATE shows that feel they have to explain every single little joke like we are too dumb to get it..you know what i see that a lot on? KIDS shows, like Nikolodeon shit and YTV and other pre-teen stuff…the jokes are SO dumb on those shows, even for pre-teens, i don’t think they give enough credit to how intelligent they really are and it makes you wonder why they all seem so dumbed down nowadays..well, look at the “quality” of their entertainment they are given..ugh, makes me sick, it really does. Did they use Canned Laughter in the new seasons here? You know a show is REALLY done when they use canned laughter lol..anyways, thanks to your comment, i know now that if i DO ever get into this show, i may stop at Season 6 and leave it at that…Cheers mate

SgtPancake 0 points 4 years ago.

It was leaning politically right, but it was funny. The kids were also more left leaning and modern in their thinking which sparked debate. Every side made a valid point to their cases, funny shenanigans ensued as they tried to prove each other right. Their strong chemistry further made it an endearing experience that made you root for everyone as they eventually learned to somewhat compromise although Mike ended up proving himself right quite a few times. I don’t know about canned laughter, but it has always had the laugh track although I do think it’s gotten more annoying since Season 7.

Now… every character has become a stereotype of their main characteristic that is being dialed up to 11.

Personally, if you ever get to that point some day, I say check out 7 for yourself to determine whether it’s within your tolerance range.

Watchmen (2019) S1 E1
Euringer -2 points 4 years ago.

I..never said you said that, now you’re just being defensive and seemingly arguing against your own made up points. The fact that Rorschach is a parody of Randian superheroes -fact, from Alan Moore’s mouth- shows that you thinking he was doing good and Veidt was doing bad reflects your own beliefs, right? Nobody ever said Veidt was a hero or Dr Manhatten was bad, or anything, just that Rorschach -definitely isn’t a good guy-. “Did that escape your notice” oh lord. Even if Rorschach had actively saved many lives, which he didn’t that’s not the point. In the end he could have done any number of things to help in his own way (that doesn’t mean working with Veidt) including lying about going along with the plan and personally exposing it, and in fact doing so would have been him keeping in line with his “Black and white, no grey areas!” philosophy. By allowing Dr Manhatten to kill him, he was admitting there are grey areas, invalidating both the thing that people commend about him and the vital point of parody shared between Rorschach and The Question - moral absolutism. If you’re saying he should be lauded for his final decision to have his life ended, okay, but that decision wasn’t to save anyone. Also yes, if you’re limiting it to comic book characters, there are lots of parallels for Rorschach that are probably a lot better than Margoret Thatcher, but keeping in mind how much Moore hated Thatcher and Ayn Rand it seems quite apt for the co-creator to compare his negative aspects with conservative political figures.

SgtPancake -3 points 4 years ago*.

Maybe you should stop smoking whatever it is you must be smoking. You told me I don’t understand the material facts and then proceeded to give a more detailed version of exactly what I said all the while adding things I never even remotely addressed.

“Rorschach had no decision to make on “killing millions of people”” “and he never had a say in those millions of deaths.” Never said he did in my previous comment so I’ve no idea why you’re mentioning it. All I said was despite Gibbons comparing him to Hitler, the ending suggested none of the sort. You’re the one that started rambling about Rorschach’s character.

“Even if Rorschach had actively saved many lives, which he didn’t” compared to what I said “Far more than Ozymandias” not that the lives he saved were many, only that he took active measures in improving lives. Again, not about the number.

“shows that you thinking he was doing good and Veidt was doing bad reflects your own beliefs, right?” Where did I say Rorschach was good? All I’m saying is Ozymandias is not at all better.

“including lying about going along with the plan and personally exposing it” because Dr Manhattan wouldn’t have seen right through him or Veidt for that matter.

“By allowing Dr Manhatten to kill him, he was admitting there are grey areas” Quite the opposite. He showed there were no grey areas that he was willing to bend to.

At any rate, you’re clearly incapable of properly reading my comments without interjecting your own assumptions into my side of the argument. I’m done.

Watchmen (2019) S1 E1
Euringer -3 points 4 years ago.

Saying Alan Moore despises this series is ignoring context, or perhaps being ignorant of context. Alan Moore wants nothing to do with Watchmen, in comic, movie or tv form - it has nothing to do with the content.

It’s also clear that regardless of what subjective things we can disagree on, you maybe don’t understand the material facts of the matter at the end of Watchmen. Rorschach had already mailed his journal with his suspicions to newspapers, Veidt had already enacted his plan. Rorschach had no decision to make on “killing millions of people” - his decision was to attempt to live in Veidt’s new world order, actively helping make it better, to live in it as he was living (as a toxic avenger, as Moore has stated multiple times - a parody of The Question and Mr A, read up on it) OR to be a coward and commit suicide. He choose the cowardly route, not the heroic route, and he never had a say in those millions of deaths.

SgtPancake -3 points 4 years ago.

Lmao, you’re putting words into my mouth and completely ignoring what I actually wrote. I never once stated that Rorschach was right or that I agree with him completely.

I also never said Rorschach had made any decisions himself. I said “willing to die rather than ACCEPT Ozymandias’ decision”.

He also didn’t agree to just die. He said to Dr Manhattan to kill him OTHERWISE he would not be able to keep the secret as Ozymandias had failed in convincing him to do so.

“Actively make it better” after millions died against a made up enemy? Dr Manhattan was never against the world. The only coward I see is Veidt who instead of opting for a slow and methodical approach to making the world better, decided to cause mass genocide like it was some game where you could press the reset button whenever you so chose.

The one who took active measures to improving lives was Rorschach. Yes, his methods were extreme and they could absolutely be improved upon (I’m not out of my mind) but how many lives did he save? Far more than Ozymandias did as he actually destroyed millions of INNOCENTS! Or did that escape your notice?

Furthermore, Rorschach was never about race. He was about the corruption of power and politics. His was the answer to how far was too far in the pursuit of justice. Yet what did the writers of the show do? They made it about race. Ignoring the fact that within the continuation of the Watchmen comics the second Rorschach is actually black.

I had no idea that Gibbons said Rorschach was like Hitler. What the fuck? Was that guy high when he worked on Watchmen or what? Rorschach is more like the Grim Knight from the Dark Multiverse if anything.

Watchmen (2019) S1 E1
Euringer -2 points 4 years ago.

The Alan Moore interview has been deleted but quoted in literally dozens of places, for instance: http://www.stevensurman.com/rorschach-from-alan-moores-watchmen-does-he-set-a-bad-example/

Here’s the Dave Gibbons quotes:
https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a138772/watchmen-hero-compared-to-hitler/

https://www.geek.com/comics/dave-gibbons-shares-his-thoughts-on-hbos-watchmen-and-dcs-doomsday-clock-1807018/

None of this “proves” anything, but Dave Gibbons saying he contributed ideas, helped with screenplays, saw the show and loves it indicate he doesn’t feel like he’s being slapped in the face with their portrayal of Rorschach, just some very sensitive people.

SgtPancake -2 points 4 years ago.

Given Watchmen’s ending with how Rorschach was willing to die rather than accept Ozymandias’ decision to kill millions of people for some greater good I highly doubt he’s anything like Hitler. The writers clearly must have gone purely based on what Dave Gibbons told them (even though he didn’t create the character; it was Alan Moore).

Btw, despite this interview Alan Moore despises the new Watchmen series and wants nothing to do with it so lets not say it’s all sunshine and rainbows.

Watchmen (2019) S1 E1
Euringer -2 points 4 years ago*.

“I gave them some notes on the screenplay for the first one. I got to see the pilot when I was out in Los Angeles and the writers asked me all sorts of questions to fill in the background. Some of my artwork will show up at various times. I’m really enjoying it. I’m really happy with it. They’re so respectful of the original material. They want to make it as good as they possibly can. It’s really exciting.” - Dave Gibbons
“I wanted to make this like, ‘Yeah, this is what Batman would be in the real world,’” he said in a 2008 interview. “But I had forgotten that actually to a lot of comic fans that smelling, not having girlfriend—these are actually kind of heroic. So actually, sort of, Rorschach became the most popular character in Watchmen. I meant him to be a bad example, but I have people come up to me in the street saying, ‘I am Rorschach! That is my story!’ And I’ll be thinking, ‘Yeah, great, can you just keep away from me and never come anywhere near me again as long as I live?’” - Alan Moore

“I put him in the same kind of bag as Hitler and Margaret Thatcher—you might not like them but you can’t deny that there’s something very attractive about someone who has no grey areas.” - Dave Gibbons

I’m sure the creators appreciate you defending your own view on the character and pretending it’s theirs.

a) Why would pissing on battery acid affect anyone’s ability to write?

b) The villain part isn’t dialogue, it’s a verbal manifesto from a terrorist organization

c) You can’t write either, clearly

d) Clearly the lines between “hero” and “villain” are blurred in this story, like in real life. Therefore your immediate reaction tells us more about you than the show.

Take a breath before you post.
(fyi, the whole quote from the Cavalry is a reference to a Rorschach quote from the original story. So…)

SgtPancake -2 points 4 years ago*.

a) Because I felt like writing it.

b) It’s a perversion of Rorschach’s line which has nothing to do with race, but the corruption of power and politics. They just rewrote it to suit their narrative all the while completely ignoring the real story.

“All the whores and politicians will look up and shout Save Us! and I’ll look down and whisper No!” is the real line. Theirs is not a reference. It’s spitting in the face of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

c) Better than you that’s for sure.

d) Oh no, the lines between hero and villain have been clearly drawn, and are entirely based upon skin color. Which is what most (sane) people would call racist although in clown world where you’re living it’s probably nothing worth mentioning.

The Star Wars mentioned here was actually a missile defense system that was designed during the Regan administration. I’m sure the coincidence was not lost on the writers of the show this mention was more than mere product placement.

SgtPancake -2 points 4 years ago.

It’s absolutely product placement. As I stated in previously, I’ve seen Star Wars stuff in some of the shows that I regularly watch over the last few days.

The episode was less than mediocre and the story was ridiculous. It felt completely out of place. It’s way too obvious.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. There was at least one more season to wrap up Moriarty that they could have done but stopped at her discount version, Odin Reichenbach.

Oh wow, a british Mark Zuckerberg! How original. James Frain is a great actor don’t get me wrong, but his character is a bland, boring, cookie cutter villain that reflects the current politics surrounding Silicon Valley which brings nothing interesting to the table.

And of course they couldn’t pass up the opportunity to stuff as much heartfelt, almost-heartbreaking-but-not-really moments in there as much they could. It’s saddening how much the show has fallen since a few seasons ago.

If you want to talk about hypocrisy, look at your own faith first, christians are responsible for entire races and beliefs to become extinct,they have started more wars and have killed more people since it’s inception than all other faiths combined in the name of god,and gained the hate of otherwise peaceful people who just want to be left alone,they treat people like they are shit for not believing what they do or anyone who speaks out again’st their very corrupt and yes,evil ways. The states banning people because of where they are from and because of what they believe is no different then what the nazi’s did. And them deporting mexicans who were born in the U.S and are even more christian then they are pretty much says it all. The most bigoted, racist and hateful people on the planet to say the least. I am an atheist, not only because I don’t believe in fairy tales, but also because I can’t stand behind anything that would condone what the church has done,if there is a god, I hold him in contempt! There is to many brainwashed religious people who can never see past what they have been told all there lives, and then actually stop and think for themselves.Its all a means of control and everyone has bought it for the last 2000 years just like every other so called god that is bullshit to.I know what happens when you die, you are reborn again and not in heaven or hell. I have known things that I shouldn’t, most people would consider it a gift from god, but I know otherwise.I have done this before obviously. With every “I have been here before” and “I have done this before”leads me to believe something no religious person could ever accept.We are not actually mortal, we come and we go and then we do it again,life is like the seasons, spring you are born and grow up, summer your late 20’s and 30’s and maybe early 40’s, fall 40 to 60 if you are lucky, things slow down a lot at this stage, and winter the twilight when all you can do is look back and be assured that even though you won’t remember it besides slight cuse that you might pick up on if you have not been conformed to the point of not even bothering to think for yourself in the next one.I have been here before and I will be here again, I know it to be fact,to many things have occurred in my life to think anything else, it is the most logical explanation. Basicly a cosmic recycling program.

They did, pretty sure they already had most of the 3rd season done already. would seem that Disney bought the rights out from under ‘flix for the Marvel stuff, and will be doing their own productions. Seems they are coming out with their own streaming site soon, have o idea if they will be bringing back any of these shows though.
Saw a few articles where they were saying ‘flix was really deep in debt, and struggling to stay solvent. Might be when Disney comes out with their new site,they put ‘flix out of business.
