, main character was a wimpy dweeb, even when he toughened up he looked an sounded like a homosexual. Just like you and OP
Imagine being a brainlet.... wait you don't have to imagine, assuming you are capable of such brain activity.
Shit series, Anna Torv in a red dress was the only good thing about it
Not even best girl of quite limited set in the show.
BoB is pure reddit. They sacrificed real storytelling by throwing sobel under the bus and telling outright lies about Blythe despite giving him his own entire episode.
The furthest The Pacific went into fantasyland was having Seldge and Leckie talk for 30 seconds
Those aren't even worst sins of the show. Show description of what went on in Nuenen is essentially pure fiction.
I thought both the producers and men in Easy assumed Blythe died. So it wasn't a lie just ignorance.
Stephen Ambrose is shit tier historian, who relied entirely on oral history and completely ignores archive sources. Little hint. British, US and German after action reports over battle of Nuenen match up pretty well and none of those even resembles the book or the show. If he had bothered with archives, it would have been easy to find out that Blithe got out of army due to his injuries, got bored as civilian, re-enlisted and went to Korea, did combat jump there and stayed in army until his death in late 60's. He was sergeant major or master sergeant when he kicked the bucket.
Shortly after this first aired I won a DVD copy of this series from HBO on Facebook because the page for the show had a contest where you post your favorite quote from the series. I suspect I won because hundreds of people were just quoting the taglines from the promotions and I actually wrote out a long ass quote from the middle of the series. I'm in Canada and they sent the boxset from New York overnight priority shipping no questions asked. It was pretty cool.

Sobel was a good training CO, but they shit on his character

It was this entire speech word for word. It was genuinely my favorite scene of the series at the time.
I was obsessed with this show and had HBO on demand at home so would watch it constantly. I was sitting in class at university one day browsing facebook and I see this contest on the pacific page, so I downloaded a rip of the episode and then wrote the speech word for word. An hour later I get a private message from HBO saying congratulations you won, give us your address, and it was in my mailbox the next day.

That's the level BoB was at. Your standard fare fudge the facts History Channel documentary level of fact checking. God forbid your goyslop that claimed to be true stories tell true stories.
It's something so easily verifiable its laughable you would put millions into an episode just to turn around and so oopsie we didn't do our research. Even Winters knew and was upset by it. Willful ignorance if anything doesn't look good.
GK was funnier (but may just be because it's contemporary)
BoB had better pacing/narrative
TP was the best directed and the most emotionally poignant but had the most bloat, they could have cut the entire Basilone storyline and the Australia episode and it wouldn't have made a difference; best episodes are the Pelielu airfield and Okinawa siege so they really should have just stuck with K/3/5 Mortars for the whole show and gone into more depth on Haldane/Burgin/Snafu/Sledge
Just like Hacksaw Ridge, they had to tone down the level of badassery heroics because they were worried the audience wouldn't believe it. Read up on John Basilone and how he actually died.
Back then it was because he slapped around a soldier with PTSD and tried to motivate him by calling him a coward. Now it's probably because the idea of a hypermasculine authority figure who gets things done is scary to soicucks and trannies. We witnessed a 4-year meltdown because of Trump, imagine someone like Patton being a major public figure in current year.

To be honest, Patton wasn't really a great commanding officer, at least if you take into account experiences of general Greighton Abrams. The guy one might consider to be the mother of US armored forces and one who raised 'em with actual reasonable doctrine. His beef with Patton is that Patton wasted and risked mens lives for poorly planned missions that hopefully achieved something.

That's pretty much the same take the family I had in the military had of him. The mythos that developed around him is specifically that to which I was referring--people now are triggered by someone who openly flaunts intimidation (and especially so when it comes to calling out neoliberal bullshit). Patton was from a different age.
Based! But i put Bob above Pacific. Pacific has two shitty episodes and bob only has one imo. Just had this convo today with a mate. He thinks GK is the best because of the social commentary. b***h please.. like it's the first anti war/war is boring movie.
Pacific's shittiest episodes are arguably the best ones. Those display utter disconnect soldiers returning from front have with civilians and civilized society. Pacific is as much about the trauma war causes upon soldiers as it is about war.

General Patton is controversial figure to say at least when it comes to history. I'd say he might best qualify as drunken uncle of the US armored forces. Major General Adna Chaffee jr is the father. Abrams was a battalion commander, regimental XO and later regimental commander under Patton, who seriously had doubts over some of the command decisions of Patton that he had to execute. He later on kinda wrote the doctrine for use of tank divisions.
I agree. Better than BoB. Inb4 the haters.
BoB is just a boomer jerkfeast of their dad’s glorified war stories
Negative, main character was a wimpy dweeb, even when he toughened up he looked an sounded like a homosexual. Just like you and OP
i dont care I was inb4u
>everyone has to be a badass
Sorry to spoil your perception of war, but most people would react the same way that Sledge did
Most men were skinny manlets back then. Still tougher and higher-T than you though.

I think it's the best but BoB and GK are close. It's better on rewatch. Even the Australia episode.

If I want a documentary, ill watch a documentary grandpa

The chin on this homie
chaddest chin

Terrible take.

GK is a second behind the Pacific
BoB has more SOUL
Just like Hacksaw Ridge, they had to tone down the level of badassery heroics because they were worried the audience wouldn't believe it. Read up on John Basilone and how he actually died.
John was a fricking badass and it would’ve been great if he got his own show.
Hacksaw ridge was shit though
>pacific war
nobody cares, nobody ever will care
>reddit spacing
And?
wrong
>Best mini series of all time
Not even close.
Not soldiering.
Really good but nowhere near GOAT.
*mogs all other WW2 media*
it has some decent story elements but is dragged down by the directors usual shit
TRL fans are wild. I enjoy it, but you're wrong.
Admittedly it does have its problems, overall I’m more fond of BoB and Patton
Patton is kino I was pissed of TCM didn't play it this year for memorial day
Patton was problematic before problematic was a thing.
what's the problem with it now
Back then it was because he slapped around a soldier with PTSD and tried to motivate him by calling him a coward.
