He's referring to the first Suicide Squad, which was critically panned but commercially successful.

The Suicide Squad (2021) did exactly the opposite.

3RNEST:

Yes perfect example...idris save that movie..

3RNEST:

he didn't specify the year.

VerifiedStalin:


He didn't need to.

The first is called, Suicide Squad.

The second is, The Suicide Squad.

Just watching Narcos again.

We need to legalise weed in Nigeria. It will be a good export to European or American countries that have legalised it.

But religion and cultural stupidity will never allow the average Nigerian or politician to allow such.

Bossman doing tha Lord's Teachings....

Lol, I just say make I dey observe

VerifiedStalin:


* Shawshank Redemption; a better version of the original short story

* The Mist; a better conclusion

* Forest Gump; far superior to the book

* There Will Be Blood; I enjoyed the book (It's called 'Oil'), but it pales in comparison to the film.

There are more, but these four will suffice for the time being.

Daniel Day-Lewis performance in There Will Be Blood is my favorite ever.

Do you think you're going to get some action right away? Shows like WoT take a long time to get going because world building takes a lot of time. If you give it time, the world-building will eventually pay off. In the meantime, spend some time getting to know the characters and the world they live in. You'll be glad you did, trust me.

VerifiedStalin:


That won't be necessary

Read them in this order;

*Dune (1965)
*Dune Messiah (1969)
*Children of Dune (1976)
*God Emperor of Dune (1981)
*Heretics of Dune (1984)
*Chapterhouse: Dune (1985),

*Road to Dune (2005) comes last; it's a companion book to the Dune series that fills in some gaps. It's almost like a miniseries in its own right.

Well said.

Game of thrones was all talk and exposition for the first episode.

Wheel of Time is just getting started with 3 episodes in. We havent seen the other Aes sedai sisters. Furthermore, the white cloaks are still being introduced.

Things are building up......

For now, Wheel Of Time is 6/10

MJBOLT:

anybody here seen Hellbound on Netflix??

chuksp09:

Nah, the action isn't why I'm grumbling jare, it's the lack of warmth and fluidity, maybe GOT's S1 spoilt me a little bit, but do you remember how you felt when Ned stark and his family were leaving winterfell for kings landing? or When Potter was leaving for school, hell even when Frodo was about to leave the shire? That kind of feeling is only felt when the background has built up the emotions for it, and it's lacking in WOT, most of the conversations are one liners, there is this lack of real, deep conversation or interactions that would build warmth, hate, premonition, even a little fear. I just wasn't feeling it, it just might be because it's unfinished, but we'll see....

Lol, how else to know the characters than to read the books, and I've done that 3 times, that's why I say what I say, people who really love the books wont say it, but they feel it, there's something lacking and I hope its remedied going forward.

...and we actually did get some action, the channeling scenes were dope, the trollocs were also portrayed really well...

dem subtitle am?

VerifiedStalin:


Given that you have read the books, I'd expect you to be more understanding than you've shown.

It would be unfair to compare WoT to GoT because the two shows are so dissimilar. The first is loosely based on historical politics, while the second is based on religion so their structures are vastly different.

Adapting books with a major theme of magic, in my experience, is extremely difficult because there are no real-life parallels to draw from or ground them in. Give the show more mileage; if the high production value is considered, it's only a matter of time before it comes good.

AnfieldFan:


Will try to read the first book before I delve into the show...Will do it concurrently with Dune...

So many books, too little time..
