Kind of a rare little easter egg that most viewers probably missed: There is a copy of twisted metal on playstation when he is driving during the first episode. Only 90s kids got it probably lol
The code that John Doe uses to operate his vehicle, which he speaks aloud in the second episode, is the code used to unlock Unlimited Health in Twisted Metal 2: L1, R1, Up, Down, Left, Right, Right, Left, Down, Up.
Twisted Metal is absolutely bananas but it works. It's one of the more entertaining new shows that I've seen this year. You can't really compare it to anything since there's never been anything quite like it. The series is based off a PlayStation game of the same name. It's about a quirky outsider (Anthony Mackie) who's offered a chance at a better life if he can deliver a mysterious package across a post apocalyptic world all the while by being chased by a bunch of different violent maniacs trying to stop him. He's helped from a badass car thief (Stephanie Beatriz) who is the perfect sidekick for him.
Post Apocalyptic world where there's some order where factions control different cities. The roads are no mans land, the main character is a Milk Man or a courier who delivers packages between factions. Their life expectancy is low.
The race hasn't actually started yet, themplot for the first season is Neve Campbell has him go cross country and pick up a package from Calypso for her as a test, when he succeeds she tricks him into agreeing to race for her in season 2 (presumably)
It’s not a race, anon is a moron and dispensing his own lack of information as facts. The only “race” is the fact that John Doe has a delivery to make, with a time limit. That’s basically the plot of the first season.
I don't know what people are looking for here, but definitely it's not an Emmy's award winner, not a deep and twisted script series. Take it for what is it: a fun ride!
First, the cast is great. Didn't expect Sidney Prescott here! (Scream), or people from Mayans MC. Most of the main characters do an acceptable job here. Love it.
Second, Fx's are pretty cool. Good point the blood does look real most of the time, so great for gory fans like me.
Last, music is great. As other said the music fits perfectly with the action and goofy-gory scenes.
So, overall a great series just for entertainment. I didn't know it is based in a video game and I think you don't need to know anything to enjoy. But I think it's even better if you know about it. Consequently, if you're in a mood of short episodes (30 min) of a goofy gory action series, go for it.
For perspective, I know very little about the Twisted Metal games. I've played it a few times when visiting a friend, but I never owned the game myself. And this was about 25 years ago. The only thing I remembered was it involves armed vehicles.
I went in with low expectations given the terrible history of video game movies/shows. But we have been on a good streak lately (Sonic 1/2, Mario, Gran Turismo). And I'm ecstatic to say that the streak continues with Twisted Metal.
It hooked me immediately. I love the tone and over-the-top nature. I love that it doesn't hold back with the violence and blood. I love all the comedic attempts, with so many of them being memorable. I love the two leads, I didn't know Mackie could play funny/slightly goofy.
But the thing I loved the most, and it's not even close, is SWEET TOOTH!!!! He's so awesome. I've never liked clowns. Never been scared of them. Just never saw the appeal. So for me to like him this much is saying a lot. The show is elevated every time he's on screen.
At first I couldn't tell who was voicing him. I kept wondering, who is the actor fully bringing this character to life? Who is the one making this sadistic psychopath so likeable? Of course, it's Will Arnett. What a beast. He's able to bring so much to the table with his voice, as we've already seen with his performances as Lego Batman and BoJack Horseman.
Why don’t you fucking tell us or stop making threads like this. Lazy slut.
Pretty cheesy dogg. Reminds me of Tulsa King
So is neve campbell calypso?
No, Calypso hasn't appeared yet. The closest you get is hearing him over an intercom.
You ask for a sandwich when you win the big tournament. The sandwich has poop in it
>Just marathoned eppie 1 and 2
Wow, a whole hour. 50 minutes less than the par time for a half marathon.
Should have seen the thread when a zoomee said they marathoned The Godfather. I'm starting to realize why old people hate young people now
I've only marathoned a few clips of the godfather but it looks kinda cool. Like an iltalian version of Breaking Bad.
*whoosh*
>Get me Will Smith
>"Sir, he's been cancelled after the staged slapping of Chris Rock."
>Then get me his fat brother.
first two weren't terrible but 3 and 4 is full of random lesbians who have nothing to do with the story and that's when I stopped watching.
other shows like this and tulsa king?
it said this was a comedy
i'll save you the time
the last episode is the only time they talk about/announce the tournament
Kind of a rare little easter egg that most viewers probably missed: There is a copy of twisted metal on playstation when he is driving during the first episode. Only 90s kids got it probably lol
also said some cheat codes when he was changing gears
the clown is cool like if deadpool was a bad guy
I like the story in the 2012 game way better

Is this the real plot? Did Calypso trick him into joining the game or something?

damn, if they can pull off the theme/mood from the win vignettes then I am excited about this. thanks
>race
Twisted Metal was never about racing, what is this?
It’s not a race, anon is a moron and dispensing his own lack of information as facts. The only “race” is the fact that John Doe has a delivery to make, with a time limit. That’s basically the plot of the first season.
It’s not a race. It’s a demolition derby.
Pretty cool show
Looked at rotten tomatoes and knew it would be fun.
Same.

I played the original ps1 game with my friends and it definitely makes it more fun.
Filtered many plebs
I like it so far thanks for the recommendation
UwwwwwwwwwwwwwwU bussy finna quiver
it's great, but /misc/ is too jaded to give it a chance
How the fuck is this the first time I'm hearing they made this into a show
Must be shitty and low budget
How is it their fault you didn’t hear about it?
The show is going on the road
Holy kino
HELL YEAH! This show is beastly and hilarious.

Sweet tooth is like the flagship of twisted metal, so it would be weird if he wasn't perfect. And yeah, he's great.
kino
I liked it but I like Anthony Mackie.
You couldn't wait to guzzle more of that primo Blackrock ESG Funding cum.
Oh fuck yeah the stuart and sweet tooth team up pure kino
