MobLand : Paramount+ series starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Miren

Isn't that the point...a dying empire struggling ran by old crazy people?

“struggling empire ran by old crazy people” isn’t a magical wand to whisk away things that outright do not make sense.

a dying/struggling empire makes hasty deals - plausible
ignores new revenue sources - plausible
tries to maintain the status quo rather than adapt - plausible
becomes neglectful in terms of precautions against the law - plausible
recklessly gets into feuds - plausible

what isn't plausible is killing a rival's wife and kid, declaring war, calling him to mock the deaths they inflicted upon him, then 30 minutes later call, give the locations of your offsprings on the condition that he doesn't touch one and expect him to for some magical reason be bound to said deal

 

[Uchiha God]

Characters are just outright dumb and make confounding decisions for the sake of fukkery

I’m even still waiting for the compelling reason as to why Richie’s son was even killed I mean, what?

shyt starting to look like that Empire show but with guns

 

[Bleed The Freak]

Fukkery

It’s entertaining but it’s losing the shine of reality. Like the shootout at the diamond sale and then at the docks with the Moroccans. shyt is not that common in the Netherlands to not have any response for a whole day. Too over the top action movie. I’ll still watch it tho since I’ve seen 70% of the season and have been entertained enough.

son was in the warehouse tossing grenades like it's a Call Of Duty lobby

You do realize it's a fictional show by Guy Ritchie or did that slip your mind?

Dudes can't even just have a little bit of fun and let their mind go

Probably was sitting at the crib critiquing Schwarzenegger and Van Damme movies talmbout it was too implausible to happen

The dialog is always sharp and I don’t think anything navigates that absurd/grounded line better than them. shyt is grimy but with an undertone of absurdity that makes it incredibly entertaining. So much fukkery happens, but it’s not the “cars in space” fast&furious type fukkery, it’s just a bunch of interconnected people making choices that result in a complex net of cascading mess. Characters will say the most ridiculous/funniest shyt with a straight face and be 100% serious about it.

shyt is goated and Guy Ritchie is one of the scientists of all of the above

Do you criticize Marvel movies when you realize a talking is existing

Yes, because saying something doesn't make sense at the basest superficial level means you're holding it to the strictest immersion standards, right?

The fukk yall even be on here talking about man?

I said the shyt is very stylized, it just doesn't have the substance I thought it would. I didn't say it wasn't entertaining - you nikkas get passive aggressive about the dumbest stuff

 

[Uchiha God]

Yeah, you're stupid. Disregard my previous reply to you - I will not exchange words with you again

"these actions are incongruous"
>"well, the MCU has talking rac00ns"

[HollywoodP]

That's the milllion dollar question

Ehh to be fair that like others have mentioned already ,serries started out

But outta the last 3 episodes they are 1 -1.5 outtta 3 fo me … maybe koz it started out

The writin and storyline was pretty mid until the end , of this

and as others have mentioned this family runnin something at this level like a bunch of fn amateurs .. shxt startin to be unbelivable the level of incompetence

Plus every episode bein bailed out by harry like he is prime Liam Neeson from. “ taken “ days is just

They kan let some shxt hit the fan , let shxt fall where it falls


They better start nailing these next few episodes like the start
