When I win I bring we with me
I called it in a separate thread. It's not even hard anymore because this shyt is so prevalent

:jbhmm:
Give 3-4 examples of it's prevalence ....I only watch so much TV so I prob didn't have those examples to draw on.
Short of hoping to see a cool lil scifi story, I went in wide eyed with neutral expectations

shyt was fire to me :ehh:

I can see how someone could like it.
  • It is a great general premise
  • Casting was A1
  • Visuals & Directing was generally good
It just fails at pleasing my sensibilities :hubie:also where the story went left it went left hard and certain direction choices didn't make sense in context.
  • Them getting caught in the woods by the monsters a second time when tic knew they come out at night.
  • Chic calmly walking through the street while not knowing how long the portal could stay open(not to mention bombs & folks getting shot everywhere)
  • Chic standing in the fire even though she has no reason to believe her invulnerability will cover the book.
  • Lil girl running up on killer police popping shyt and them not doing anything.
  • Rescuing the he/she, killing it off, then the plot point going nowhere(I forgot what the point of going down there even was).
  • Chic tries to kill the white lady with a sword, then mysteriously/conveniently leaves her under rocks instead of killing her ...so the lil girl can do it.
  • They walking all sad and slow after being attacked while the girl is supposedly sitting in the car.
  • All the modern music killing the mood
Again alot of this seems to be someone saying....
"oh it would be cool if [insert scene here] happened":ohhh:

...problem is the "cool scene" they envision typically doesn't make sense in the broader context of what's going on around them. I can let alot of shyt go but that is one of my biggest pet peeve.



Generic example:
In starwars general holdo rams a ship using a hyperspace jump ....problem is, if thats all it took they could have just done that to the deathstar instead of letting the empire blow up planets, multiple ships, and frigates.

The "holdo maneuver" might look "cool" but makes no sense in the larger context
(not to mention it breaks the rest of the starwars world)
