There's no Japan in One Piece so why would they need Japanese actors. It's understandable that many people have strong opinions when it comes to these adaptations but this comment isn't constructive to the quality of the production.

Mackenyu is playing zoro and he is Japanese
Why is Scott Pilgrim barely in the show?

It is because he took off.
Dune Part 2 is visually spectacular. The picture is stunning. Ignoring the worn-out tropes, the problem with the film is the lack of emotional attachment to characters. The scope is too big for its runtime which leads to underdeveloped players. The movie is so impressive, yet hollow.

@bkoto the creator himself said multiple times over the years that if the characters would be in the real world, their nationalities would all be very different. Luffy (Brazil), Zoro (Japan), Nami (Sweden), Usopp (Africa), Sanji (France).
So before you start spreading your negativity maybe check some facts beforehand. Thank you.
Lol somebody already gave every episode a 1. Grow up buddy, its not even out.

@felixgotrek probably the same guy who's giving EVERY anime a rating of 1... Months before airing :joy:

@martlet the show, not inly in the text but also in interviews with the show-runners, is about love and the things we do for love (good and terrible) and to protect the ones we love.
Bill is a paralel to joel and frank to ellie. Opening up the others hearts and letting love in. On closed off by his own closeted homophobia and paranoia and the other from trauma and loss of his child. Both pragmatic and overly serious not letting others in (joel didn’t even let tess in for all the years they where together)
The episode shows also how post apocalypse we don’t have to sacrifice our humanity. To do more that just surviving but to actually live and care for the things around us. And for art, and beauty.
The letter at the end really activate joel in the quest to protect ellie. He has failed to protect his daughter and as reminded, tess. It tells him that life with purpose is possible and it’s mostly someone else. And that they, both, would do anything to protect the ones they care about… and i pity the fool who stand on their way (foreshadowing what joel is going to do in the end)
There are many more reasons why this episode matters in the context of the show but a not unimportant one is that it was beautiful and a good story and telling it was something they wanted to do and was worth it… maybe not to you but for many others, apparently.

Clearly you did not, at all, understand the meaning of this episode and how it clearly ties into Joel and Ellie’s journey
I don't understand why they have to put a black person as a leader or a wife for somebody everytime.

@martlet would have missed a great episode of TV that speaks to the themes of the show if not advancing the plot.
It's clear that the writers value shocks and twists over characters with consistent motivations.
Edit: I'll remember Stannis as he was.
loading replies
Stanises motivations remained consistent in my opinion. The Iron throne was always his goal, and still is. And burning people alive is nothing new in his camp. I think he (and Melisanre of course) sees the burnings as the necessary evil needed to reach his goal. It's desperate times like these (when he can't turn back, and probably won't succeed if he goes forward) when he needs all the help he can get in order to reach the goal. Thus the desperate measures.
This is just bad... bad TV!

Review by Alex Stevanovic
I've watched this series from day one and loved it until season 4. When season 5 started, with their major plot changes, I wanted to quit this show but this episode made me loathe this show to the point where I would literally beat up Martin for giving HBO the rights to change the story line this much. I'm personally disappointed with HBO for killing of such a lovable and adorable character in a way that it wasn't possible. Stannis would NEVER agree to such a thing (and if you remembered in the last episode, he turned down Melissandre without thinking twice). Why did the TV show drop in quality? I was ready to bear the fact that Lady Stoneheart wont be in the show (even tho she has a MAJOR influence in the books) but not this major flaw. Stannis is a weak man, unable to endure the seduction of a witch and the only thing that was able to cancel her manipulation was Shireen. For god's sake Selyse had second thoughts, the woman who hated her daughter more than anyone in the world but Stannis didn't, the man who showed so much love and pride in her daughter.
I'm rating this episode 1 because this is the last episode I will ever watch of Game of Thrones. I was able to survive "The Red Wedding" and Oberyn Martell because I knew this was coming but this... THIS... I'm disgusted.
EDIT: If the actress didn't wanna act in the series any more they (HBO) could have at least killed her via Ramsey Snow's 20 men sneak attack or something. This was utterly revolting. :/

GRR Martin told the HBO writers to kill Shereen. Watch "Inside the episode #9" on youtube. Also some online articles say that GRRM hinted this scene will be in the next book (but I haven't read the books, so what do I know).

@whos_ur_buddha It was a good build up to Joel and Ellie showing up, and Bill got way more attention than he did in the game and I'm all for it, his story was great.
Well, this show is inspired by, not heavily influnced by the game as the show runners stated. The changes they made here are some of the worst ones so far. So, now Joel aparently is a believer in the vaccine and believes that Marlene knows what she's doing and if she says there is a chance for Ellie to save humankind then there definitely is. I almost laughed out loud here. To people who never played the game, people like me saying "well they did so and so in the game" is probably not something they want to hear over and over again, so I won't say a lot of that here. What I will say though is that Joel as a character does not worm up to Ellie until a later event happens. He shows that by uttering one very famous and scarce line in the game that everyone who played the game had misty eyes when they heard Joel saying them to Ellie. Here, even if he says something similar to Ellie, won't have the same effect as it did in the game. People saying the show is better than the experience and the story in the game, I am pretty sure have not played the game. To people that are witnessing this story for the first time through the show, I will say this: Play the game. It is 5 times better.

@Totimoshi He gradually warms up to her. Even in the game, once they reach the power plant they've already been together for months, exchanging high fives and trusting each other. Replay the game and refresh your memory.

I agree with Andrei Bisca: Stannis' motivations seem quite consistent. Throughout the show, until the start of this season, Stannis was always depicted as being someone that had no problems doing (necessary) evils (supposedly for the good of the realm) in order to reach the Iron Throne. This season however they showed you a more compassionate side of him, that of a father that dearly loves his daughter. They just wanted you to see how much she means to him, so that you'd know that in his mind he's making the greatest sacrifice he could ever give.
Rule of thumb with Game of Thrones: The more they make you care about a certain character during a particular season, the more likely (and shocking) their death will be at the end of the season. (e.g. Ned Stark as the great father and immensely honorous man S01, Rob Stark as the young, charismatic general who married out of love S03, Oberyn because duh S04 and now Shireen, who has had a much more prominent role this season than all the previous ones combined, as the beloved, cute, literate, etc. daughter (by everyone except her mother that is))
I'm always amazed that the anti woke people don't realise The Boys is making fun of them
loading replies
@neohexane Or the fact the series has always been woke to begin with but they only like to talk about when people die or the characters say something edgy.
Season 1 was 10/10 gross and sick and fun. Season 2 cranked it up to 11/10. This episode just turned up knob beyond that...at least twice.

The knob… please tell me that was intentional

@pato22 She wasn't stupid, man. She had some kind of mental disorder. Probably schizophrenia or something. She said she could hear the walkers so she was probably hearing voices which fed into her delusions that they were still people. The show handled her well. A psychopathic serial killer in the making.

@whos_ur_buddha This is one hell of a side story! My hour wasn't wasted, if this would have been a standalone film I'd watch it it's that good. Why does it always need the main characters to build the world they are picturing? This is storytelling at it's best.
