NobleStag007:


You have successfully informed us that you love hate the movie because it's Snyder's work.

Well done

What a way to ignore everything I wrote up there...

I criticized the series for falling into the same pattern as previous Zack Snyder works and thus having quite similar flaws...

But I still praised the areas which were improved upon like the character writing

Twilight of the Gods....7/10


(Spoiler free review)

Synopsis:
Sigrid, an iron-willed warrior, saves Leif, a mortal king, who falls in love with her; they both survive Thor's wrath of terror which embarks them and a crew of crusaders on a merciless mission for vengeance, against all odds.


A better adaptation of the usual Zack Snyder plotline.
The protagonist(s) has to take down a major force or power and spends a few minutes gathering comrades and they go on a journey together to defeat the powerful villains.

As expected, there is so much lore dump especially for 8 episodes without giving the viewer much reason to care about the lore.
Personally I'm getting tired of so much Norse and Greek mythology in fictional stories.
I'd rather watch fresh original lore rather than another take on the same mythological characters...but that is a personal opinion...

Unlike Snyder's previous installments though, this story actually has some characters given some time to be fleshed out.
The series follows the same Snyder pattern of characters going on a long monologue about their backstory - this time it was a campfire, in Rebel Moon it was a round table meeting...

The difference here is that at least we were given time and reason to care about a few of these characters. They even spent some time developing the villains...

There is still some plot contrivance and the whole thing with someone not going to Valhalla because of her weapon and another going there was weird...
Unless of course there is an explanation I missed somewhere.
At least it's revealed Valhalla isn't a good place but merely another plot for humans to be further used by the gods...

Anyway, it was an enjoyable watch even though it falls to the usual pattern of Zack Snyder's works...
And less slow motion this time...

But instead full scale nudity and erotic scenes

Brokeloser:

I used to somewhat avoid old anime because of differences in design between now and then but Mushishi has changed my mind. From now on as long as a show is rated solid by reputable sources I'm digging in. I've never cared about popular shows anyways so it's good.

Thanks. These are definitely going on my watchlist.

Watch Monster

Agatha All Along:

I nor sure say I go finish this show. To even finish the first episode was laborious. The first fight scene looked cringe to me.

Twilight of the Gods

Zack Synder try for this show. They really put in the work. Couple of questions though :

1. I thought the dwarf said once they take those weapons are Hel bound. How come Hervor went to hel and the other one went to Valhalla? Abi favoritism dey among gods?

2. The much acclaimed prophecy of that Odin lost Memory for didn't even come to pass as was prophesied, so are they going to continue their fight in Valhalla ?

The whole thing with Valhalla confused me too...

I don't understand why she went to Valhalla...
But maybe I missed something 🤷

Today is Nigerian Cinema day.

All cinemas in Nigeria, movies are only 1k

I haven't seen anyone defending him. Everyone's calling for his head

The Barca subreddit are Ter Stegen...

Criticize Stegen and you'll be downvoted and called a plastic fan

abduleez1:


IGN normally na the most useless reviewers of all. Hardly anyone even take their reviews seriously for like 4 years now.

They're score is more of an opposite thing..... If IGN gives you a poor rating just assume it's gonna be good. 😅😂😂

Not really.

People just blame IGN as a whole but forget that IGN have individual reviewers...

IGN actually have some good reviewers but many terrible ones. So it's best to who reviewed each show and their past reviews to know how credible the scores are.

Twilight of the gods

Omo don't watch this with your kids, Zack Snyder wasn't "fucking around" pun intended.

Two episodes in...

It seems to be the usual Zack Snyder plotline.

With someone/people gathering a party brave soldiers to fight a superpowers force.

abduleez1:


Yeah I know it's an @dult animated show because of it gore and violence and themes.
I don't know of nudity sha.

Anyways, no wahala. So far e make sense.

We're really seeing a boom in @dult animated content this past three years and its great for we the consumers.

People won't admit it...

But the popularity and bloom of anime among general audiences have given rise to adult animated content in the West.

Gone are the days of seeing animation as kids content

pu7pl3:


I'm watching directly on Netflix but I think Nkiri will have it since all the episodes dropped at once

thanks...

Thanks, I'll watch on Netflix too

pu7pl3:
Twilight of the gods

Omo don't watch this with your kids, Zack Snyder wasn't "fucking around" pun intended.

Wait, this is out?

Where can I download?

Haynnie:

S/o to the writer for giving us incredible plot.

The pain Mikasa felt beheading Eren I couldn’t compare same pain Levi felt loosing his comrades and friends. It was heart wrenching to see how frustrated and tired they were trying to change Eren but baba was blind to see the truth.

I mean, Eren was wrong.

But a lot of people would do the same thing he did in his shoes.

Would you wipe out the world to be free and to save your friends and family?

It's a hard choice to make and even harder to keep up with it.

But I guarantee people will make that choice

andrewbaba44:


Bayern is not Bayern abeg

They are still a top team but not Bayern of then please

You expect arsenal to cruise over Bayern because they where on their best form ? PeoPle wey no come ucl for like 9 seasons

And the same Bayern has been flogging us for years...

Last 2 seasons we had a great start to the season until we met Bayern and lost 3-0.

From there we ended up in the Europa.

geezyk:
Wait! You want me to shalaye to you why I think it's a British masterpiece? Ha! You go wait oo.

I see it as just a simple British action series.

I think most people do too...

But you said it was a masterpiece so I was hoping to hear why you called it a masterpiece

Derumklala12:
Okay so I just calmed down and thought it through and then realize.. we're so beating Bayern 😂.. most of Their 9 goals didn't even come from tactical play or teamwork.. mostly rebound, player error and penalties...so calma.. October 23 will be bloody 😋

Calm down oh...Bayern na still Bayern.

There are some teams that will perform when they meet certain teams.

Never underestimate them.

Last season Arsenal were in their best form in almost 20 years, yet they lost to the worst Bayern side in decades

geezyk:
Why didn't anyone talk about Gangs Of London here, or did I miss the discussion?

That's a pure British masterpiece. I'm in awe.

We've talked about Gangs of London here before.

Why do you call it a masterpiece?
What makes it a masterpiece?

Unrealistic action scenes where London gangs perform military-grade raids with no police intervention?

Kindly educate us as to why you think Gangs of London is a masterpiece

Derumklala12:
Omo if we no beat Monaco 8 nil I no go relax oh...
Bayern don start

We only have 2 first team midfielders lol

Based on our last meeting, Monaco know how to defend and hit on the counter...

You shouldn't underestimate them

He drank Spinal fluid wine some episodes earlier...
And then was turned while drinking again

DeeScan:
where did you download and was subtitle embedded on in it??

pahe dot ink

Yes subs were embedded

Maharaja......9/10


I can't say anything about this movie without it being major spoilers.
So all I'll say is that this movie had a lot of twists I didn't see coming.

The movie shows how to tell a simple story in a very satisfying way.
The plot itself is decent, but the execution is what makes this movie very good.

pu7pl3:
Officer Black belt

It's pretty hard for Koreans to miss nowadays

Is this good?

Didn't really like the trailer

Haynnie:

I watched the last episode of AOT yesterday and I started feeling emotional. Bro wiped out 80% of the world population just for his selfish interest.

Yep.
Man didn't get the world he wanted and couldn't accept the reality of the outside world, so he killed them

Why has Hollywood not attempted to make a live-action of this masterpiece

Monster feels like a perfect show to adapt. Since almost all its characters are German and not japanese

DieRich5:
Tower of god S2 is kinda boring to me and we have few episodes remaining.......


The Manga is really good, I just hope it's pick up that vibes in S3

The issue is the awful adaptation.

I quit it weeks ago...

When I'm ready I'll read the manhwa and pretend that the S2 never existed

joseph1832:
compaRe it to Blue Eye Samurai and Onimusha?

I haven't seen Onimusha but I've seen Blue Eye Samurai.

I prefer Blue Eye Samurai to Arcane...doesn't mean it was better but I cared more about it's plot and characters. It also had a lot of noticeable flaws I posted in my review of it.

Generally I wasn't much of a fan of Arcane. I got a lot of people hyping it up to be the best show ever but for me it just felt like a decent show.

I'll rewatch it in November so my opinion on it might change then...

I didn't connect at all to the world and most of its characters except the sisters....
I didn't like any of the other characters and didn't find them interesting at all...

The music was good but it wasn't my taste because I watched it at a time when I was done with League of Legends theme songs and the music in the show fit right in with the usual LOL songs

The animation style felt similar to Spiderverse animation which I also didn't like at all.

So basically the show had many things that were subjectively not to my taste at all...it's no surprise I didn't like it much...

However the show is very highly rated and I'm willing to give it another chance...

So I think you should definitely check it out.

Or wait till November so you can watch both seasons at once and not forget the plot of season 1 when season 2 airs

Kaycee7:
Easily forgettable keh? Guess me and a lot of other people must have absolutely amazing memory capabilities then. Bro, how do you let anybody tell you one of the most impactful shows of this decade is forgettable?

A show that has almost no online discourse is somehow one of the most impactful shows of the decade?

The only time I've heard about Arcane is maybe one or two people recommending it in comments...

I've not seen anyone discussing or dissecting the show for years...

Arcane has almost no presence in online discourse.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood aired how many years ago, yet you always see people talk about it till now. Even Code Geass has people constantly talk about characters, themes and plot....

No one talks about Arcane bro...

Except those die-hard Arcane fans who are very focused on Arcane content. The show is never discussed among the general audei

DeeScan:
did he just say AOT has no filler 😕😕

There is no single filler in AOT

Yes...

I dare you to point out a single filler Episode in AOT

....

This is the end

NeoWanZaeed:


Perhaps we have different taste. Memorable one amongst the two is.. for me...is blue eye samurai.

That is exactly what I said.

Arcane has an easily forgettable plot

OhBritannia:
The Genesis of all these arguments on 'Arcane' isn't worth it to be honest because what the first guy said was absolutely right, except people just want to argue for the sake of argument which is as at now is time wasting.

Arcane like the first guy said is easily forgettable, it's not an anime or a series that becomes entertainment culture amongst folks.
It was a great watch but after some weeks, we totally forgot about it, stopped talking about it and moved on with our lives, this was same for the blue avatar but not the same for the normal anime avatar which till today is still part of our memory and film culture.

Note!! Arcane was a great watch but easily forgettable because personally i can't even remember one scene again but i can still remember lots of series and movies i watched like 15 years ago.

Despite not being a big fan of Arcane, the fact that I forgot everything about it less than 1 month after watching speaks volume on the plot.

The plot was just not memorable at all...

That's one of the reasons I plan to rewatch the entire thing before season 2 rather than watch a YouTube recap

Actually I haven't seen Arcane hate anywhere tbh...
I haven't seen Arcane mediocre videos on YouTube too...

But to be honest it's the same as every decent Hollywood animated show. They all get praised and hyped without hate...not like Velma.

Every decent Hollywood animated show seems to get praised to be peak fiction like X-Men 97, Scavenger Reign, Blue Eye Samurai, Pantheon, even shows like Vox Machina.


No be like the anime side where every popular series seem to have an equal number of haters. People have dedicated their lives hating on One Piece, AOT, Jujutsu Kaisen, Naruto etc...
Go on YouTube and see the number of people hating on them calling them worthless and mediocre

Check IMDB and see the number of reviewbombing these anime have.

Shows like ATLA and Arcane won't get those ratings on sites like IMDB if they were anime.

Imagine shows like ATLA or Arcane or Blue Eye Samurai getting 9.7 or 9.9 episodes on IMDB with 5k votes...
When on anime side, they will create Facebook groups, discord etc to reviewbomb episodes with 20k 1 star votes
