Wouldn’t it be easier and safer to put the robots (replicas) on the space mission? Like duh? They do not need life support system, food, and physical activity. Would it be nicer if they actual humans stayed in their homes and spend their time with family?
Somehow, the pilot of story twisted to make us watch 80 minutes episode, almost as long as a movie. Just to tell us that we need to take care of our family and loved ones! The only explanation for this movie plot is that the astronauts were already in a long distance space mission and later on, they have decided to make the replicas for their families.
More revisionism from the Marxist Disney, it gets so boring.
For the love if shit, people. Without the first 3 episodes we wouldn't have this episode. Without the first 3 episodes this one wouldn't be as impactful. It's storytelling and all part of a larger whole. Stop saying, "finally we're getting somewhere," or "this is what the show should have been from the start." Its a journey. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Holy shit.
So I suppose they don't hire brazillians actors to play an actual brazillian citizen lol that accent was terrible tbh
Again, didn't feel like a Black Mirror episode at all. Could be "American Horror Stories" but not BM. What a letdown
Great episode, I hope that the Boys get permanent powers eventually, like in the comics.
Denis Villeneuve is the man!
There’s only one word that came into my mind after watching it: finally.
Finally, a blockbuster that isn’t afraid to be primarily driven by drama and tension, and doesn’t undercut its own tone by throwing in a joke every 30 seconds.
Finally, a blockbuster that puts actual effort in its cinematography, and doesn’t have a bland or calculated colour palette.
Finally, a blockbuster with a story that has actual substance and themes, and doesn’t rely on intertextual references or nostalgia to create a fake sheen of depth.
Finally, a blockbuster that doesn’t pander to China by having big, loud and overblown action sequences, but relies on practical and grounded spectacle instead (it has big sand worms, you really don’t need to throw anything at the screen besides that).
Finally, a blockbuster that actually feels big, because it isn’t primarily shot in close ups, or on a sound stage.
And of course: finally, a blockbuster that isn’t a fucking prequel, sequel, or connected to an already established IP somehow.
(Yeah, I know Tenet did those things as well, but I couldn’t get into that because the characters were so flat and uninteresting).
This just checks all the boxes. An engaging story with subtext, very well set up characters, great acting (like James Gunn, Villeneuve's great at accentuating the strengths of limited actors like Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa), spectecular visuals and art design (desaturated but not in an ugly washed out way), pacing (slow but it never drags), directing, one of Hans Zimmer’s best scores: it’s all here.
I only have one real criticism: there’s too much exposition, especially in the first half.
It can occasionally hold your hand by referencing things that have already been established previously, and some scenes of characters explaining stuff to each other could’ve been conveyed more visually.
Other than that, it’s easily one of the best films of the year.
I’ve seen some people critiquing it for being incomplete, which is true, but this isn’t just a set up for a future film.
It feels like a whole meal, there are pay offs in this, and the characters progress (even if, yes, their arcs are still incomplete).
8.5/10
If you missed the after credits go back and watch them !
Not a fan of the boring Russian subplot.
I never thought Euphoria would reach a point where it would make me feel indifference. There's a lot of redeemable moments this season, for sure (and please, give Zendaya all the awards), but to me the show retains only a few glimpses of its original charm and emotional potency. Which is a shame. Euphoria has always been over-the-top, but this season barely feels grounded in reality anymore. It's still undeniably entertaining, but I often struggle to feel the heart and intention that used to shine through these characters and their stories. Something's missing, and the result is underwhelming.
When you watch a movie and wish that it went for another 2 hours - fantastic.
Again blackfacing Annabeth.
You know how fun it is to recognize a character in advance cause you read the books? Like Dionysos and others...
But then there's Annabeth: tall, blonde,....
She's a fucking small brunette here just to cast a Black person in it...
When will people finally learn that replacing anu character with another etnicity for the sakebof having this etnicity is also so fucking terribly racist!
This shit is so racist.
Uncancel Justin Roiland and bring him back!
If the terms of an APP are illegal, even if you click "Agree," it is still invalid.
oh my god severance reference?
Haven't watched it yet. I'm just surprised Netflix produced to show with a heterosexual couple.
I thought they didn't believe in male female relationships anymore
Stan Edgar:
Then why are you still here?
Are you looking for my approval like I’m your daddy? And even if I were, what would there be to approve of? The company is yours.
No one left to stand up to you.
But I think you’ll come to sorely regret that.
Homelander:
And why is that?
Stan Edgar:
Because there’s no one left to cover for you, either.
Eventually, probably soon, the world will recognize you for the pitiful disappointment you are.
You are not worthy of my respect.
You are not a God.
You are simply bad product.
This is not a movie about dragons and the world of Kumandra. This is about Earth, this is the real world. We are divided, groups of people completely hating each other inside the same nation.
Unfortunately we are facing our own Druun, our plague. But as in the movie, this isn't our biggest problem. The real enemy is our inability to work together as a community, to put aside political views and really trust each other, working together for the best of everybody.
Beyond the important and necessary message, the movie is a fun adventure, the world building is great and the technical aspect is what you would expect of a Disney movie.
If what Chidi said to Eleanor didn't make you cry, what is wrong with you?
Terry Crews spends most of the episode being outsmarted and overpowered by women half his size, its Tales Of The Wokeing Dead
A visually stunning show that captures the beauty of our planet's diverse animal species in breathtaking detail. The show's cinematography is exceptional, and the footage of the animals in their natural habitats is amazing. However, the commentary about the environment seems to be more political than scientific, and often based on theories rather than hard scientific evidence. While the show does an excellent job of raising awareness about the challenges facing our planet and the need for conservation efforts, it can be frustrating at times to see the environmental commentary being driven by political agendas. Despite this, Our Planet remains a good watch for anyone who appreciates the natural world and wants to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of human activity on our environment.
I can't believe i was so excited to see Maria Hill again and they killed her off in the first episode. You can't do that to me.
Another episode that doesn't fit in the "Black Mirror" series. Not even remotely anything to do with tech or dystopia. The "immigrant hate" angle went nowhere. Was there any hidden meaning / point to the story, or was it just a meaningless story?
When the new black mirror season comes 4 whole years after the previous, you can't come back with an episode like this one... the bar has been lowered
In my opinion, the weakest episode from the sixth season. The episode didn't feel like "Black Mirror" at all.
Okay, real talk: WHAT did Black Noir write on that paper?? Does he reveal to the Homelander that he's his clone? Can we still expect some kind of twist like this in the main series, or is this in any way related to the comics? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!
never unseeing that first 15 mins...
I have just one major problem with this... are we supposed to ignore the episode where Eleven found her buddies from Hawkins lab in the city from the second season?
I'd like to be done with both shows because the drama has truly reached soap opera incredulity, but my idiot brain has problems quitting things once it's heavily invested. It's like having annoying family/friends you still keep in touch with. They really piss you off and you kick yourself every time, but you can't help caring.
