Not once does Gerald steal everything from the house of random villagers.
This may seem like a ridiculous thing to vent about, but I just have to rn.
Seriously, what is the point of this bullshit? Are you trying to make your series seem "more adult" by giving it unnecessary drama?
I understand when characters sacrifice themselves for the better or get injured over and over again within a certain time span, not being able to recover properly first, but when the protagonist's friend, companion or someone who plays a major role gets killed by a badly-written villain that pops out of nowhere, decides to play meat shield when the missile can be easily dodged by the targeted person or (and this one's my favourite) just gets mortally wounded/instantly murdered all of a sudden with no explanation and no killer reveal, I get the urge to flood my brain with bleach.
People, myself included, still follow those series because the concept and idea behind them is fucking fire. But, for the love of Satan, please refrain from adding cheap and stupid crap like this. Or at least try to come up with something that is more realistic and makes sense. Or, guess what, you just leave them alive.
He was tired of being pushed around
English isn't my native language (not even my second language).But I do love to watch british series in english and if available with subtitles(not often the case somehow). Imagine my confusion when a unrelated looking 30 year old calls the older women character Mom. Because it didn't happen to often on my viewings (maybe Ma'am isn't that common) I was confused but I put it always aside as me being not attentive enough. Only with the magic of subtitles was I able to understand how much of an moron I was.
i've just finished watching bleach on netflix, and i want to know if i'm missing any details or anything.
Implied here is β¦ no episodic series (eg Law And Order)
We enjoy Drama Crime, Nordic Noir, etc.
No SciFi or Fantasy Dramas
Subtitles are perfectly fine
Thanks
A TV adaptation cannot be 100% true to canon. They're different art forms. I see a lot of people getting really hung up on this, and I challenge you to really examine Harry Potter's success. Personally as an HP book fan, I'm stoked that there's more books, more movies, a freaking theme park, and people who love HP everywhere I go. And the adaptation did that. They adapted a beloved series for a wider audience, and Harry Potter grew as a result.
Now I understand many people's gripes are because we've already seen Master Chief's story. We've played the games, beat the Covenant, and read the backstory books. They want to see stuff we haven't seen. And I do too. But think about it from Hollywood's perspective:
Why would viewers want to see Some Random Halo Spinoff (That's Technically Canon) when they could see John Halo Himself (Slightly Changed from Canon)? They wouldn't want to see some side story (we might, but there's not even 100k members on this subreddit). The average viewer would way rather see Master Chief take on the Covenant! The Battle of Reach! The flippin' flood, man! That's the stuff that's gonna make more Halo fans. That's the stuff that's gonna make a show (if done well) get enough success to earn spinoffs.
And that's my big point. Why would the first studio to invest, let's not forget, hundreds of millions of dollars go for anything but the best Halo stories? If we're going to get more Halo, it's got to prove itself on TV first. And adaptation requires change. But if the adaptation is good, it can appeal to a wider audience, and Halo will grow as a result.
tldr: Announcing a cinematic adaptation of novels as not canon is a wild thing to get upset about, and while the show's story will retread old ground, it might pave the way for a future (we all want) with way more Halo stories out there.
Episodes 1-5 had me totally stoked. I was really excited that my favorite fantasy series was getting a decent adaptation. And then what the !@#$ happened those last three episodes? The series took a serious turn from decent adaptation to train-wreck. My main gripe was this whole "we'll take you all to the Eye to fight the Dark One and whoever isn't the Dragon is gonna die" with all the main characters being like, yeah alright that sounds fine to me. What justifies this? They had one Trolloc encounter and were all willing to throw their lives away for a Dragon that had zero prep/channeling experience? What the ever loving... Not to mention the travesty of whatever they did to Lord Agelmar/Loial/Moiraine stilling... come on. The sa'angreal ISN'T EVEN FAT.
Anyways. I might read EotW again just to reset my brain... So annoying because the justification for going to the Eye in the books, Rand's encounter at the Gap and everything else would have made so much more sense for the show to simply implement. :(
So my brother tonight is sitting down to watch Star Wars IV with his son for the first time and we were talking about shows that we wish we could see again for the first time.
So I ask you, what is the one TV series you wish you could rewatch but with fresh eyes for the first time?
Something similar to Peaky Blinders, Hannibal or Breaking Bad would be ideal.
Edit: Thanks for the responses. After much careful consideration I have decided to go with The Wire
I don't know if this question has been asked before but I will ask it anyway. What movie do you think would have been better suited as a TV Series?
Some films try to cram wayyyyy too much into too little and feel overstuffed as a result, personally, I think the recent Matt Damon film Stillwater would have been better as a crime miniseries since there was just too much put into the film it felt overstuffed and questions were left unanswered
What films would you say?
