They added many things that wasn't in the movie.

Heard that too

laydoh:
Also one of the reason I haven't focused on watching snowpiercer full time,I've been stuck at ep 2 for almost a month. This is mainly because I watched the main movie last two or three months ago.

The movie was good. As for the show, I heard that it's a prequel or sequel.... I really don't know

laydoh:
So you won't even bother watching? What if it doesn't end like GOT.

I just don't want to take that risk, not just GOT, other shows adapted for tv whose books i've read broke my heart. I just watched GOT with a grain of salt, the show went downhill from season 5 even if the books are not finished, the creators ruined it.

But let's see, I guess I might watch after a second season if they don't deviate from the books

Vexatious:
Lol, Utilizing a copyrighted material without following due diligence is a surest way of inviting a lawsuit on oneself. Legally, you can't use someone's work (even when they are loosely adapted), and not offer credit to where it's due.

When I mean credit, I also refer to it's legality. Casepoint, Terry Goodkind's sword of truth series were also adapted for tv but with a different name and also the into the badlands series also inspired by a book with a different name, obviously one can't use a writers content without their consent.

I don't really know, maybe it's because i'm more entangled to books or it's just me but whenever I watch a series and it doesn't mirror the source material, I feel betrayed and I feel like I betrayed the books and the author's vision. This is obviously just me though but that's the beauty of art, it's subjective

Vexatious:
It is anything but a given that TV shows adapted from books must parallel their source materials to the letter. Oftentimes, TV shows are loosely adapted, in that they offer similitudes in premise, but very different in their mode of narration, characters, and plot lines.

I'm as of now half-way through the TV adaptation of Snowpiercer, and from what I've seen so far, it's an extreme deviation from the source material. There are a great deal of plot characterizing highlights from the novel that are either skipped or disregarded. I surmise the makers needed the show to be not quite the same as it's source, in order to stop people that have read the novel from ruining the show for viewers and potential viewers.

Hence, it's a misstep to pass judgment on a TV adaptation of a novel solely on the premise that you've read the novel. You may wind up passing up a much better story than the one you've read.

You are right in all aspects but I just love to see my imaginations come alive. I also forgot to add that as the main reason why I haven't seen the snowpiercer series and I also stand by my opinion perhaps if they wanted to deviate from the source material then i'd rather they give shows adapted from books a different name but they will always give credits to the books.

laydoh:
Cursed is finally out. I hope they don't disappoint and they shouldn't even think of forcing gay bs into that series.

You should read the book first to know more, there are same sex loving characters in it and if they really wanna adapt the novel to the latter.... Be sure to see gay characters but maybe not in the first season though. I would advise you not to watch if there will be conflict of interest because the book is really good and quite addictive. They love to ease viewers into loving the series before adding new characters
As for me, i'm not watching, not because of the gay characters but after game of thrones season 4, I swore never to watch a movie or series adaptation of a book. I'd rather read the books instead

Illusioneffect:
You believe d nonsense d guy type shaa....

I get what he's trying to say but generalizing the content Netflix releases isn't a good font. Other streaming services follows the same road and he didn't call them out.
None is pure talk less of a saint

Akposy:
Permit me to laugh small jare. Your pancakes are funny o. What did you do?

However, I started like this year's back (as a child). Every trial was a lesson, every lesson was an elevation. Don't give up Bros. Before you know it ehn, you'll do culinary exploits. Shame your shame bros

Also, get a non-stick pan. You can PM me for a non-fail pancake recipe

Thanks for saying No to toxic masculinity. Na man you be. Happy kitchen adventure!
.

Thanks man. I envy your culinary skills

Greatzeus:
She swear an oath to be with the man in health and wealth,in sickness and pain. So what happened?
If the man had become a governor instead of the accident that rendered him disable, would she be thinking of leaving?
Don't get me wrong,I am not asking her to stay or leave. Just stating the fact. It's her life,her choice.

What would you do if the tables were turned and it was your love on the wheelchair and not you? Will you stay and be completely faithful till death do you part?

BlueRayDick:
I believe you are on the right track bro, the journey of a thousand mile begins with a step.
I will only advise u don't get discouraged with the result of Ur first attempt at cooking.

1. I believe you should've started with not so difficult meals. I mean meals like rice and stew, yam and egg etc. That way u will build confidence when it turns out good and u will be able to go for the more difficult ones.

2. As regards watching YouTube videos / getting online recipe, it is actually a good thing to watch videos and take note of estimated timing given by the food vloger in the video. However it is advisable you watch more than one video of a particular meal. I mean watch 3-4 videos of let's say fried rice, see the different methods they use, how different their output was and the similarities in their ingridients /process of cooking. This way, u will be able to come up with the best one that u think will work for u. You don't necessarily need to stick with their own recipe especially where some of the ingridients they are using are not locally available in Ur location.

3. I will also suggest u get the right utensils like non sticky frying pan, spatula, pots etc. These things at times define how Ur meal will come out. If watch those YouTube videos u will understand some of the food vlogers have particular type of utensils they use which makes their food come out the way they are.

4. I was once like u and I didn't really have any need to cook. I was surrounded by sisters and a caring mum that always made my stomach filled from childhood. In the university my roommates were all excellent cooks and only allowed me cook less than 3 times in the whole 4 years spent in the uni....But I had basic ideas of cooking, I learn quite fast and I pay attention to details even when it appears on the I don't. I started cooking out of necessity during NYSC( I once shared the story here).

Now that you have identified the need for u to be a better cook, u just need to show interest and ur mum will be wowed by the dishes u will make in the next few weeks.

5.During the lockdown I had so much time on my hand and cooked as much as I wanted. I sent some of the pictures to my Bae; she pic mixed it and kept on her status( see attached one of the pix mix). She was being encouraged to open a restaurant not knowing say na omoboy cook am. Seeing the comments I was impressed with myself.

All I'm saying is u've started and that's what matters, keep up with the cooking and u will be proud of Ur culinary skills soon enough.

PS: sorry if I bore you with my epistle according to St. Blueray

Thank you so much for the advice man. Reading each word was worth it and you are an awesome cook

Darkseid:
You're on the right track bro. I only eat home cooked meals and I'll rather starve to death than eat in a restaurant, I've even stopped by corn on the roadside. The main secret to making a good pancake is a nonstick pan, the regular frying pan would likely give the kind of result you got.

Thanks man. I did use a nonstick pan though I prepared it like I was making eggs

Petyprincess:
Practice makes perfect! Those you mentioned probably during first attempt it wasn't perfect also.
Continue practicing,you gon get better.

Thanks love. I've been trying to upload the scrambled eggs and moin moin with the custard but network seems to be in shambles here

Growing up as an only child, everything I ever wanted was at my beck and call as long as I behaved despite my mum's effort to teach me the ways of independency, my dad's toxic masculinity would always object as "a man had no business in the kitchen", I got so used to being pampered that I became useless to myself (kitchenwise i.e). Now, I got a job and it's a job that gives me more time to myself, i'm just getting into this whole bachelor thing (I hope I get it right though) and now I reflect to the teachings of my mother.
I've been a spectator on this thread for a while but looking at the meals made by my fellow men like blueraydick and akposy made me step up, big ups to you man. I've been ordering and eating out ever since so I decided to try something new for breakfast today, I wanted to whip up some fluffy pancakes and bean pudding (moin moin) and scrambled eggs to be eaten with a custard tart, downloaded the recipe off the internet and boy did I make a mess.
Just look at the disaster called pancake (first attempt) that I tried to make.... At least my custard, moin moin and scrambled eggs(both are first attempt) turned out ok but i'm so ashamed of myself. I called my mum and showed her what I made, she laughed to the point she couldn't laugh no more. I deserve and need the criticism so that I can better myself, please feel free to point out my flaws and tbh, I enjoyed cooking and I want to cook more

P. S: it's my first food post, at least whilst critical, abeg show me some love.... At least I wan step up

DAramis:
Is there any relationship between this Madam Rita Edochie and our High Chief Pete Edochie?

At least, I no Yul Edochie and Pete Edochie are related (Son and Father).

She's married to Pete's younger brother

Sixfeetbelle:
This woman. Awww congratulations to her daughter.


I used to think at one point in my life that she and Pete Edochie were married.

She's married to Pete edochie's younger brother

Business strategy? Explain pliss.

Three words..... Quantity over Quality

Vexatious:
Netflix movies are nothing to write home about.

Every streaming site releases bad movies annually. It's a business strategy

Nickshrapnel:
You just gotta love the old stuff bro, they are good something

Meh... I love this era more

Ok.... I gotta ask, what's warranting the nostalgia? Back to back 80's movies

Una plan am ni?

Chibudollar:
Da fuk? Naya Rivera is dead? Just saw this one Twitter. Damn

The glee curse strikes again. She's the fourth person and the third cast member on the show to die. Conspiracy theorist have already started their work going with the blood sacrifice trope seen as she's 33. Some are even saying fox, her co-star lea Michelle (they both hated each other so much that they didn't speak to one another while shooting the final season of glee) and even Ryan Murphy have a hand in it

slimfit1:
Do you know how many gay people who have beards ? looks has nothing to do with gay. Many people are gay and you won't know. They look and dress normal.

If I show you bearded and hypermasculine gay guys on Instagram, you will even be the one doubting your sexuality i.e if you are insecure and you believe what this man is saying. Another Muslim preacher said this same shit in 2014 on live tv, I think he's from new Zealand. They are just gay men in denial

tillaman:
in all fairness I really don’t wish to raise a gay or bisexual son, this dude you told me to look up was a gay, I am not homophobic but that’s just how I feel

That's toxic masculinity because that thinking stems out of misogyny and it's homophobic and it's ok to be homophobic after all, not everyone will accept gay people

kheny12:
This Rudolf Nureyev was a gay nigga,imaging having male partners.rubbish and male ballet dancer.

If you know how hard ballet is, I swear you wouldn't be saying this

Abeg the women on this thread. How do i achieve a red colored moi moi. The one i did last i didnt enjoy it..it looked white. What do i put inside the beans to get the color. Make una help me with tips my woman don travel and I want to cook the moi moi again next week. Make una no laff me o

C'mon man. It should be "abeg people on this thread". Some men here are great cooks too and they've proved it

Bobbybob:
I want to recommend a show i stumbled unto.
The Politician!
Its very good with a touch of humor.
For those looking for something to pass the time in between shows, it is great!!

Say no more man. One of the most underrated shows on Netflix despite it coming from Ryan Murphy himself. It's part of his 500 million dollar deal with Netflix

Bratking:
Citizen Kane, King Kong, Jurassic Park, Daredevil, Spider-man, Boogie Nights, I am Legend, Kingdom of Heaven, X-men, Men in Black...

10/50. You tried

Ready Player Two >>>>

Yay. Haven't seen the movie though but read the first book. A sequel was definitely hinted in there

You forgot to throw a little Bible verse to back it up

Wait! U thought you did something there??

I wanted to reply to that one but when I saw the moniker. I realized there's no hope. I mean fulaniherdsman... Like really?

LizBathory:
Most Naija men are secretly gay, the most homophobic ones are usually the fruitiest of them all but they're deep in the closet
I just wish Naija men would start living their truth
They claim to be repulsed by homosexuality but would never hesitate to enter a thread talking about gay topics and guzzle the contents eagerly
Because if they are so disgusted by gay topics, they should be avoiding topics like this
I hate their hypocrisy

I agree with your comment but I just gotta ask one thing.........
Why Liz Bathory? You realize she was a heartless monster right?
