She’s fucking scary throughout the show .. never been afraid of a white woman so much

Like eh sha has a way of exerting authority even in a room where she is the lowest ranked person. always calm, never raised her voice.
If you can go back and watch her body movement, notice when she enters a room she first stares at the person who opened the door for a longer than you should time like she is just too dominant.

All this makes me appreciate her husband more that man has just what it takes to have such a woman as a wife.

Remmedy:
Assassin no be work ?

Remmedy:
Jackal episode 9 is rated 10/10 for me

God knows how much I hate that Spanish woman that Jackal married with her useless entitled family…

I always knew that his family will be his end …
Very useless Spanish girl
Especially her brother and mother
See how foolish that girl brother is
You no hustle na too Dey theif from your in-law
He should have wasted the Guy instead of the gangster
That useless guy will end up spilling everything to the police if care is not taken


A man is working his ass out the least you can do is give him peace …
Na why en good to marry good wife

A man is working his ass out , you funny die

Achilles100:
Please point me to where did I said the story is flawed? I said that ending was flawed(implying that the decisions were not correct, or would have been better which I have highlighted in subsequent post and discussed).

That said, my brother, I dont know what you're waffling about. No one is disputing the story with anyone, but if it isn't well told, the ratings will do it justice, that why you see ratings on Tomato and ImBd of movies less than 5 its because majority of persons who have seen the movie while they aren't writers or producers do not agree with how it has played out.

I nor follow anybody drag their story, I just pointed out what I felt wasn't done right.

okay

Achilles100:
Na your brain nai nor dey work. So because I don't play professional football I can't critique a player for playing rubbish, or cos I didn't cook a meal, I can't say the food isn't sweet? You see where I'm going with this right?

With this kind of take, I know brain eating bacteria will starve in your head. Nonsense

You can always make a point without insults, do better.
Now, It's a story, not your story, You can't tell me how to tell my story, you can flaw the decisions (cause and effect) i took. but not my story. If a story is flawed it's a lie. You can say i am a boring story teller but if you flaw my story it means i am lying. i hope you understand.

Achilles100:
The Day of the Jackal

That doesn't make any sense at all. So many flaws in that end of the episode.

Untop novel/script way you no write you say it's flawed una too funny for this place. Just write your own first mtchew!! rubbish please

Hans Zimmer is HIM

Interstella is the best there is

Ludwig Göransson did excellent with Oppenheimer

Achilles100:
Lioness

I like how the story differs from season 1. In season 1, almost everything went to plan, yes there were few off tracks, but it was easily rectified.

This season 2, the whole plan left the track completely, cross the dried pavement and crash into the water. It almost think on the go now, which gives the whole season a new perspective. I love it!!!

Update: This episode was soo good, I had to rewatch it again. Noticed some things,

Crazy how Deputy Director of the CIA is the lowest ranking officer in that situation room.

They will always want you to carry out mission(black ops) but if fails na your head e dey.

When e reach black ops, Secretary of State Waka leave them for plausible deniablity.

The dude in the background, but look at the colored bars on his service uniform and he is standing guard in this meeting. Mad!

Lasty I think Joe might be out of the full season, maybe home with the kids and Cruz will run point on this mission.

Last see how it goes .

Omo Cruz give me Joy this last episode. and yeah Joe might not just be around . Remmeber when Joe told her husband there was a way out? well it is because of cruz, Cruz is her way out if she can run the program

NobleStag007:
Haba..that's cruel..binaca has seen enough. Losing her family and kid to ex wife..
And still you want her to die.. you are the real Villan lol

lol, the good guys are always boring

BlackManta:
I love this show and I want more seasons

But they shouldn't have announced season 2 this early.

This is a show with high stakes and suspense. Announcing season 2 now is just indirectly informing us that Jackal will survive

That's a spoiler

Wait who you think say go survive before, He is just too good and what he does to not survive

I want him to kill Bianca sef

Erenjp:
I have given my full review of Arcane.

You can read it.

have you given a full review of Blue eye Samuri?

Baddestguyp:
In terms of story, Arcane so far is better than Blue Eye Samurai.

I'm not saying it's an overall better show...but Blue Eye Samurai had a simpler story of revenge...

Arcane on the other hand has multiple stories of several characters which intertwine.

You are funny, so what makes a better story is it's "Complexity ??"

Special Ops: Lioness S02E1
Is Crazzy Mad Stuff i love it
Nah Season 2 is Top top tier
Haven't watched anything this good in years
First 2 episodes 10/10 no cap

Baddestguyp:
It's a pretty decent show. Like a 7.5/10

But I don't understand those that overhype it...
Maybe they haven't watched very good animated shows, that's why

Pretty decent? Bro come on Arcane is pretty decent, not this show man it's average

Holav:

This same Vox Machina i watch ??, Please please it was just okay nothing more nothing les, it's at best a 6/10

evb2000:
This trend is for those who genuinely went into kdp to write and publish their intellectual works and are finding it difficult to scale. It is not for those who purchased those fake courses flying around on facebook and twitter and want to hammer overnight.

I have been writing and publishing on amazon for a while have been getting so much mentions, and emails from followers of my japa diary. I have decided to dedicate one week to answer some questions. Just one week, so you can drop your questions.

No one should DM me, i won't respond. So, now is the time to ask your questions.

Hello evb2000 thank you for all you do, motivating me to start kdp

_- how do i deal with fear of getting my account terminated, i lost my first account this year and it broke me, it has made me to scared to publish as i want to on my current account.

- When is the right time to start running Ads (how much should i be making organically to start running Ads

Thank you, i anticipate your response.

DeeScan:
you do know arcane is better off A.O.T right?!

i know, you know you lying Bro.
But na your data, you fit type anything

Blueelf:
No, we don't just overrate series with giants running around to step on innocent humans and reading meaning to scenes that are meaningless

Nah bro this is hate speech

Baddestguyp:
The same season was called boring by some people who wanted action every second.

Because most of the season was spent on a farm, they called it boring...

They ignored all the character work. Even side characters like Arnheid were fleshed out.

And her husband Gardar was used to critique the Vikings lifestyle and the regrets that come with loss

You can't blame anyone for wanting action every second na, especially not with what S1 gave that shift in S2 was mad and the suspense through the whole season was the hope that he will fight again. e pain me say e no fight But it's still one of my favorite anime

Tomman:
To give you a clearer picture of what I was talking about, let me quote a post that I made in a different thread that was based on a similar topic:



I provided those same two links in my previous comments on this very thread, but apparently the people here who saw the post did not bother to check them out (one person even sneered at my statement that Amazon is racist towards black people at all - which is absolutely astonishing given that the very first link clearly documents this very fact extensively). But this is the problem a lot of black people have; they just do not ever want to believe that white people can possibly hate them and be against their interests. Even while evidence abounds that this is the case, they ignore it.

For the record, I am not by any means trying to discourage anyone from experimenting with KDP publishing, especially if writing is your passion. That is not my point. All I want is for us to not be deceived about what our chances really are and what the game really is that we are playing here. Are we playing a truly fair game in which everyone, regardless of race, region or nationality, have the same chances of being successful as long as they work hard and do all the right things? Or are we playing a rigged game?

My problem is that I have very strong reasons to believe the game is rigged. Not just against Nigerians/Africans, but against black people in general - including African Americans. Though it is even more so the case with Africans, especially Nigerians. Saying that it is just a matter of doing the usual stuff like having good covers and doing marketing and so on, is silly. It assumes that you are on an equal playing field where the game is not rigged. I guarantee you that there are thousands of highly talented black writers in Nigeria and around the world doing all that stuff and yet barely making anything worthwhile in spite of it. And this is true even if their stories are set in western/American setting. I have constantly challenged people over the years to show me a single example of a black person, even within America, who has been very successful publishing their own books on KDP (with hundreds or thousands of reviews and ratings), and nobody has been able to point at a single example of one despite all the black talent around the world. Even in American forums where I have posted the question, they will typically whine and lash out for daring to ask such a question, but fail to provide any example.

Even in your diary thread (which I checked out), there was a place where you actually said that you know many talented Nigerian writers working hard publishing their books on KDP, but none of them make anything even close to $1000 a month, And you don't see how strange that is. That makes absolutely ZERO sense if this were really a fair game that we were playing here - where books sink or swim simply based on quality of the stories and marketing/word-of-mouth, and nothing else. There are tons of hack white authors in the US and other countries making much more than $1000 a month on KDP from publishing recyclable garbage - some without even much or any marketing.

As I said in the quote above, as a black person - and most especially a Nigerian/African - Amazon will only let you make chump change on their platform. But the moment you somehow manage to overcome their unfair algorithms and start making any really significant money, their axe will come down on you. This has happened countless times to black authors (even those who are US citizens) who till this day do not know what they did, get no answers from Amazon, and have had their proceeds robbed from them. I also believe that the reason why you were even able to make the amount you made - a few hundred here and there per month, eventually accumulating to about $1500 - is because you were in Canada. That almost certainly would not have happened if your geographical location at the time had been Nigeria. Platforms like D2D have even banned Nigerians and other Africans blatantly.

You may dismiss this merely as "conspiracy theory". But in the end, I keep going back to evidence. I am an observant person, and I am very familiar with the indie publishing business. And the fact remains that what I have observed does not in any way look as if the system is a fair game where everyone regardless of race, region or nationality is on an equal playing field. Instead all indications point in the exact opposite direction. (And, as pointed out earlier, that is the case even if you are all writing books based on western settings.) You may ask why Amazon, or any other US corporation for that matter, would want to engage in such behavior given that business and profit should be the only thing that matters. Well, part of it is the simple fact that profit is not the only thing that matters to the American elites - racial subjugation (controlling and keeping a certain group of people in their place) also matters to them - and it matters far more than most black people dare to think. Furthermore, there isn't much reason to think that the dynamics of the market, if they did not do that, would lean much in terms of non-ebook products losing out over ebooks as opposed to merely some authors books losing or winning out over others. Besides, they're swimming in so much money that it doesn't make any difference - what do they care?

Ultimately, do I hope I am wrong about all this and that you guys are right, and that the only reason we have not seen even a single renowned independent black/African/Nigerian author on KDP, much less dozens, is simply because black/African/Nigerian authors just aren't talented at writing, or they are all too lazy or poor to use fine covers and promote their ebooks? Yes, I totally wish that were true. But, if I am to be really honest with myself, that is a bit like wishing for the easter bunny to show up at my wedding and be my best man.

i don't know why it's hard for people to realize that life is not fair to anybody the system is at every point rigged for one, against another. but you only see it when it's rigged against you. The White man is more privileged to the black man we say, but forget you are more privilege than the kid in your street who can't go to school. Stop complaining take advantage of the previlage you have when the system is in your favor. STOP ALL THIS VICTIM MENTALITY

Haipre:
Omoh.. I've come to the understanding that if I follow ppls mouth and rating concern movies in this place... I won't watch any movie... Thats how they say fallout is this.. fallout is that, it doesn't make sense... Maximus and Lucy are not compatible... Omo, they both acted their roles very well relating to their lifestyle in the movie... Very nice show,

Same way they said dune isn't good... I think it's movies that ppl don't rate well I would watch

Lol
i know that people watch movies/series/Anime/Cartoons for different reasons. but I believe they primarily do two things
1. Entertain
2. Make Us Thing and Discuss
I believe you can't get these two things in 1 watch. heck watching twice might still not be enough Hello!! Tenet

I Love what Shogun is doing, people are talking about it discussing it, questioning characters, going back to read history, better understanding culture, etc. (the only reason i am watching it is because of the discussions around it, the different views around fugal Japan .........)
YOU WILL NOT LIKE WHAT I LIKE, I WILL NOT LIKE WHAT YOU LIKE. YOU ARE NOT ME I AM NOT YOU But sha let's talk about it

NeoWanZaeed:
1. Over hyped
2. No reason as to why the elder brother wasn't given the properties
3. He's a soldier boi. Shouldn't struggle too much in fighting the vagabonds
4. Fight scenes were too few and no good fighting in there at all
5. The hyped gangs ain't got nothing to show for it.
6. No suspense.. Poor ways of showing a character is badass



The only scene i enjoy there is When the edler brother murderered the guy that said he should be dancing like a chicken.. Totally unexpected lol

Okay i get you, i don't agree with your assertion but i understand

NeoWanZaeed:
The gentlemen..

4.5/10

i really will like to know your reason for this rating
Cause
cast was on point
plot was pretty fair for a first season
Costume on point
Visual and Cinematography was alright

NeoWanZaeed:
TH! Which improvement again..


That shows got nothing lesser than 101/100

Halo Season 1 was at best a 7/10 honestly but this season 2 is da Bomb

Proper Stuff here
Can't wait for S2

NeoWanZaeed:
Is dune 1 great at cinematography

Yes it has a great cinematography, Won an Oscar in that category

@ Baddestguyp:
@ GrimValor

Cinematography is a crucial aspect of filmmaking that significantly impacts the visual storytelling experience. When evaluating a movie based on its cinematography, consider the following factors:

- Lighting and Composition:

Film Lighting Artistry: Pay attention to how lighting is used. Exceptional cinematographers create innovative lighting setups that enhance the mood, emphasize details, and contribute to the overall visual appeal of the film1.

- Camera Angles Artistry: Composition matters. Observe the framing, camera angles, and how shots are composed. A well-composed frame can evoke emotions and convey meaning.

- Camera Movement:

Camera Movement Artistry: Dynamic camera movements (such as tracking shots, pans, or tilts) can elevate a film. They guide the viewer’s attention and immerse them in the story. Look for intentional camera movements that serve the narrative.

- Color Design and Production Design:

Color Design Artistry: Colors influence the mood and tone of a film. Consider the color palette used in different scenes. Is it consistent? Does it enhance the storytelling?

- Production Design: Cinematography is closely tied to production design. Evaluate how the sets, costumes, and props contribute to the visual world of the film.

- Editing and Immersion:

Good Editing: Effective editing enhances the cinematography. Observe how cuts and transitions are handled. A well-edited film maintains continuity and rhythm, allowing the visuals to flow seamlessly.

- Silence and Natural Flow: Pay attention to moments of silence. Skillful editing ensures that scenes feel natural and unforced, without abrupt jumps or distractions.


Remember that great cinematography doesn’t necessarily mean polished perfection. Some films intentionally adopt a raw or documentary-style look, which can be equally powerful1. Ultimately, the best cinematography serves the story, evokes emotions, and transports the audience into the filmmaker’s vision.


make everybody rest in Jesus name !

If you think ATLA movie adaptation is good, you probably voted for BAT and you most certainly dip bread in Tea.
