The Netflix/Hulu/Prime Thread

[Iommic Pope]

This new Punisher series is seriously hardcore.

Just watched the first episode. There were a few cornbally bits, but I think this’ll kick ass once it gets rolling.
It’s nice to have a peak inside Frank’s head.
And the disarming of armed interlopers is unnecessarily brutal, which I love.
The New mutants trailer is pretty rad. I am definitely intrigued.

Also Hell Broke Luce by Tom Waits during the fight at the construction site was a great choice.

[blakestree]

Really, no love for Trollhunters? I'm just about done with the first part. And, the Tales of Arcadia reveal blew my mind.

Punisher was super good. definitely the most stable and concise story Netflix Marvel has told. the others, even if they start strong just.... meander too much.

the characters were way more realistic in their motivations and interactions and responses as well.

NSFW: show

i looooove that they did Jigsaw, made it BRUTAL, and gave them a reason to hate each other. even if as soon as they called him Billy The Beaut i was like, yeop. Jigsaw.

but every time some male is referenced as pretty in thr Punisherverse my reaction is, That's A Jigsaw.

showed neat character growth that Frankie didn't just murder everyone around him. for once.

also, about halfway through the Future Mans thing. it started baaaaad, but it's not awful. got some funny parts, decent enough to watch whilst working.

Marvel's Runaways is really bad.
It's as if the writers binge-watched shitty teen angst shows, coupled that with some awful preconceptions about millenials, and decided to get horribly drunk before writing the scripts.

[behndy]

lol. sounds about what i expected.

which sucks. because the comic was GOOD.

[infamousalien]

I'm kind of a sucker for westerns for holy shit was Godless good!

[01010111]

Is anyone else watching Strong Girl Bong-Soon? It's really fun and I like it a lot.

[weebles]

Westerns are my favorite genre, so I'm interested in Godless, but the previews didn't match up to the premise, in my mind. I might give it a shot. I tried to watch Hell on Wheels, but it was just trope after trope after trope within the first 15 minutes, and gave up on it. I'm wondering if Westworld will remain western-ish when it comes back or if it's going to move to Samurai World.

[behndy]

ugh. i kinda hated Westworld. strong, interesting start. got silly and meandering FAST. and the "twist"? thppbbpbpppttt.

but i just finished Future Man and i thought it was surprisingly good. the first 3'ish episodes are meh to garbage, but it finds a voice and it was entertaining. i actually got a bit invested in a character or two and am curious about season 2.

[infamousalien]

You should totally give Godless a shot. They way they described was different from what it was but in a good way. I'd put it right up there with Deadwood.

[$harkToootth]

That's as a good a review as any. I might have to check it out now. Thanks Mr. Alien!

[weebles]

Yeah that’s high enough praise for me.

[Olin]

So excited that they're finally going to conclude Deadwood, but I won't complain about another decent western!
