The robot bear episode is kino
yeah it has some homosexual progressive stuff put in but there are still episodes that are well made and very entertaining. I enjoyed the crab episode of season 3 most recently.
he could killed crab at the beginning
>first episode is strong woman taking revenge on evil men who raped her
you unironcally missed the point
please do explain
Watch the episode and actually listen to the dialogue this time.
i wasn’t the anon who watched it i was just seeing if it was actually good and worth explaining
guess it’s not
What kind of logic is this?
I HAVENT SEEN THE SHOW AND YOU HAVE BUT APPARENTLY ITS NOT AN NTERESTING OR GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO GIVE A SHIT ABOUT EXPLAINING SO IM GOING TO ASSUME ITS REDDIT SHIT AND YOURE AFRAID OF THAT FACT BEING EXPOSED
Why would the response be "explaining" instead of mocking you for claiming to dislike one of the most well liked episodes? Where do you think you are posting?
i never watched it and you’re moronic that’s the essence of the situation
>Where do you think you are posting?
this is reddit isnt it?
that episode is boring feminist crap but then the woman is a robot and the feminist is actually a velociraptor - a truly strong wammen
There was no "woman", the monster was just saying shit (to brainlets like you) to get an audience.
sounds like reddit cope
explain how it’s not
Holy frick I just entered this thread and you are moronic.
i’ve been here and you’re moronic
What first episode with raping revenge?
I thought the robot one was the first one
Bad Traveling is kino
This. Perhaps the best episode. OP this show is really hit or miss. For every good episode, there's 1-2 bad/shitty episodes. Here's a list of the good episodes in my opinion. The ones not listed are ones that suck
Season 1
>Beyond the Aquila Rift
>Zima Blue
>Suits
>Blind Spot
>Good Hunting
>Fish Night
>When the Yogurt Took Over
Season 2
>Automated Customer Service
>Ice
>All Through the House
>Pop Squad
>Snow in the Desert
Season 3
>Bad Travelling
>The Very Pulse of the Machine (Trippy Shit)
>Night of the Mini Dead
>In Vaulted Halls Entombed (The ending is fricked up)
>no Jibaro
ngmi
JIbaro was barely an animation it was clearly actors with mocap suits on and unless you love Cloverfield level camera shakes it was shit
>mocap suits
“No!”
It's actually keyframe animation using dance videos as a reference
0 mocap, shit gave me a headache, but it was very impressive.
Everyone picks Jibaro. It's overrated. The camera is choppy (I get that it's the style of the short) and while it has a nice allegory of colonialism, it's a little too on the nose.
Also forgot to include the Witness from Season 1
Its an allegory of toxic relationships diaguised as an allegory of colonialism
Jibaro is shit and she deserves to die anyway.
>she deserves to die anyway.
With that, I agree. She has an entire lake of murder victims, and she rapes Jibaro, first. I guess rape and murder are only bad when men do it.
I've watched every season as they came out and I still think nothing even comes close to Zima Blue or Beyond the Aquila Rift. Almost nothing from Season 2 was even memorable and Bad Traveling is probably the best one to come out of this cringe series since the first season.
Not who you're responding to, butyiu and i have the same opinion about the first two seasons and haven't watched the third. What in your opinion are the episodes worth watching in the third season?
Replace Fish Night with The Witness and add Mason's Rats and that'd be a great list
The secret war is one of the best
Was the character Snow in snow in the desert supposed to resemble Rutger hauer? Really reminded me of him from bladerunner
don't believe the shills, there's maybe one short worth watching per season
>i justed watchin dis now cuz i wantna fit in
Go be an underage homosexual somewhere else, nobody here has to pretend to care about you. So why make an entire thread about the useless piece of shit that is you? Frick off anon, jfc.
Aquila Roft, Zima Blue and Bad Travelling are my top 3.
Cinemaphile is reddit, once you understand this you can understand the board and make better decisions
ok, frick off now.
Isn't this one of the series that plays each episode in random order? Like a built in shuffle so you get 3 different ones if you watched them in a row.
I think so because for me the first episode is Three Redditbots
It's because shitflix plays some shows backwards, it's the same with Black Mirror
I like a lot of the episodes tbqh, especially the photo realistic stuff. Makes me think we're probably not even 10 or so years away from studios being able to make completely CG movies that are indistinguishable from live action (with people in it, shit like Lion king doesn't count)
theres only like 4 good episodes, everything else is gay and cringe. some are hilariously bad like stupid homosexual that's gay for fish and gets eaten by a ghost shark (not exaggerating)
Show is called Love, Death, and Robots. Okay, there's a lot of death and sometimes robots. But where's the love? Think Ive seen them all and cant remember anything approaching love. The Tall Grass episode was great, beautiful stop motion art and very underrated.
It depends in your definition of "love". Is is sexual/romantic love? There is quite a bit of that scattered throughout the series. There's community/familial love in the episodes Suits and Ice.
>is sex love?
No
>first episode is strong woman taking revenge on evil men who raped her
No it isn't. If you can't even follow a simple short film you're doomed.
if you can’t hide your seething here then YOURE doomed
I've been watching these lately, several are a little edgy for the sake of it. I really liked Zima Blue because it was purely a sci fi philosophical episode without random gore and nudity forced in. That's fine when it's called for but a few episodes felt like they had it just to say the show is NSFW.

Jesus Christ you're a brainlet. This was literally explained to you in the episode.
The rape motivation was a COVER STORY. It WASN'T REAL. It was INTENTIONALLY FALSE.
The real reason why she fought so hard wasn't be because she was raped, it was because she was the monster and the human was the puppet. She couldn't lose a fight because she would actually die. That gave her extra incentive to go all out.
wut
I saw it as her mind was transfered to the monster. She said only her brain survived or someshit lie that
This, it's literally in the episode. The evil rich white men basically killed her so they put her brain in the monster.
I like the show but don't misrepresent it to cover for the progressive ugliness worship.
>The evil rich white men
Literally nowhere is this said. All that was said was a gang attacked her and left her beyond saving except to put her brain in one of the monsters
>The evil rich white men basically killed her
she got attacked/raped by a gang on a council estate
you really do just make up shit to feel victimized
how so
Already been explained to you several times

This is correct, the monster was the intelligent one, controlling the woman through the implant. Most of my friends missed this on initial viewing, but it's clear if you pay attention.

Oh cmon Cthulu one was really good
the only good part was the woman gouging out her eyes. wish i did after i watched that garbage
if I didn't like black mirror for being too depressing and nihilistic, will I like this?
This is edgier with more gore/nudity but has a mix of downer and happy/bittersweet endings rather than always going for maximum depressing bleakness, and the tone varies from grim and gritty to lighthearted
neat, thanks
I don't know it's like 5-10 minutes just watch it.
Mixture. Some of it's on a very similar nihilistic wavelength, but they're far more diverse anthologies than Black Mirror and vary wildly in tone and message. Plus you can watch three or four different episodes in the time it takes you to watch a single Black Mirror episode.
The episode with Soviet soldiers hunting ghouls during WWII is the only episode that remained memorable for me. The rest was meh and most of the stories are predictable (which becomes a problem when something is trying to be clever). The show is pretty Reddit.
I enjoy watching this show on ketamine
What the frick was his problem?
>unconditional hatred of boomers
kinda based
He really didn't like the art syle
Icechads where are you
The soundtrack and audio from this episode was kino by itself. Also, did his brother pretend to be gimped as a test of his character or did he just have super healing abilities. The ending where he gives him that sly face made me not sure.
>did his brother pretend to be gimped as a test of his character or did he just have super healing abilities
First, it's made more clear in the short story though. Guy gets pissed about it too.
A whole lot of these make more sense in the original short, Sonnies Edge completely changed the ending and actually became the thing the original short story was taking the piss out of. Some of them got improved though, like Bad Traveling, which originally had a ton of backstory about the alien planet it's on(That's why there's a giant psychic crab) that didn't amount to much and originally they were pirates, so it was kind of a plothole why they suddenly had giant barrels full of oil down there. The show changed them to shark hunters who were specifically after Shark Oil to plug that hole. Weirdly, Netflix "Diversified" the crew, but didn't change the part where they're all buttholes and he takes them out, which was weirdly respectful on their part. Sure, there's more black people and a native american woman and other women on the crew, but the crux of the narrative that they're all absolute shitstains doesn't get changed and as a result I haven't heard complaint one about the burger king kids shark hunters.
This shit was kino as frick. Made me wish I had a brother. Everything about it, feeling ostracized because others are actually better than you, being dragged along on for something dangerous knowing full well that you probably won't be able to handle it, and still trying your best and actually saving your brother and earning the respect of your peers for being able to hang. I watched it thinking it'd be more generic shit but it was great.
Imagine watching modern western media

AnonComrades, it has been an honor.
Literally every episode is pure and utter trash. It's been years and I still can't tell whether anons are memeing when they say Zima Blue is kino.
I genuinely like the series and hate Zima Blue. Definitely the most pretentious way of saying "Return to Monkey" I've ever seen.
The machine didn't start off as a monkey though. As a machine he was actually capable of doing and being everything human's dream of being but it didn't mean anything to him.
>The machine didn't start off as a monkey though.
Return to monke = return to the pool. It did start off as monke, then it became the image of its Creator. After excelling and surpassing the Creator, it went back to monke.

Season 2 had an episode where the message was basically "The meaning of life is to have children and pass on the happiness you lost since your youth, not selfish hedonism." There's no pleasing you morons.
it was probably an interracial message
Nope. All white. In fact the only minority is an Asian and she's the hedonistic stand-in for the episode. It's the most based and red pilled thing on Netflix, watch it before it's removed.
i’m intrigued, but not sold
for instance, if the show is so based, why do these homosexuals

People who see "reddit" or "wokeness" in every shadow don't realise they are just as annoying as those who see "racism" or "sexism" in every shadow.

I'm going to watch this episode and if it's terrible I'm going to throw a hissy fit.
The CG is a little uncanny but has good art direction and interesting light world building. You won't be disappointed friend.
it’s way too aesthetically reddit and trannies with low iq like
watch it so sorry i’ll pass
This was my favorite in the entire run even though the ending was 1000 percent predictable.
I mean a shockingly high number have a random ass downer ending in them even when it's downright nonsensical to put it there. Jibaro literally granted random superpowers to water just to force in a downer ending. Then we've got Kill Team Kill or the like. The problem is there's some absolutely fantastic stories in there, you just have to dig through a lot of slop. All Through The House is one of the most unique stories I've seen in a while. Bad Traveling is dark but ultimately triumphant and it makes all the suffering to get there worth it. Zima Blue completely eschews identity politics in favor of contemplative philosophy and it's better for it.
That said downer endings aren't always bad. Your pic had one and so did Aquila Rift, and those are some top notch shit.
If you describe anything as “Reddit” you’re too low IQ to appreciate the arts.
oh yeah? explain how that’s so or you’re the lowest iq piece of shit itt

Elaborate
it doesn’t elaborate anything
The show manages to only consist of 10/10's, 5/10's and 1/10's with no exception.
Technically correct but there haven't been any 10/10s yet.
Bad Traveling is probably the closest to a 10/10 we'll get.
This, but that's why I like this show. If all episodes were good it wouldn't be as fun, plus it's not much of a time commitment. Black Mirror on the other hand will waste an entire hour on a shit episode.
This is the objective tier list if you want to give the show another try.
Not bad but id move Dump up one
Based list but night of the mini dead down one, and ice age up one for me
Tall Grass was fricking pointless.
Fish Night was an A at least.
Your D's are mostly right although there are a few that could be here that aren't (Ice Age).
Good Hunting was an interesting story and the animation was good but it wasn't an S.
Shape Shifter's was pretty pedestrian.
Agree with everything else.
The only one I really disagree with is Good Hunting because the story completely falls apart in the second half. Like genuinely just dismantles itself and forces the dumbest possible plotpoints just to end on a shitty superhero note.
>Random ass rich bad guy suddenly decides to turn her into a super cyborg, and then she kills him with the super augments this guy gave to a random ass prostitute

S1 was fantastic but there are some misses. S2 was OK. Didn't think any of them were groundbreaking but none of them were bad either. Zima Blue, Aquila Rift, the Russian military one, and the fish one were my favs of S1 at the time. Don't care enough for a rewatch. Haven't watched S3. How do they rank to those that have seen them all?
I've only seen one from S3 so far, Bad Travelling, it was really good.

What do bros?
Ok, in Beyond the Aquila Rift, what's to stop any advanced civilization from negotiating with the creature? Also, why is rape ok if the victims are men?
>what's to stop any advanced civilization from negotiating with the creature
There's no way back, otherwise she would've just sent them home. The only time anyone ends up there is if they're so damaged and off course there's no hope of repair or salvation, and more often than not dead. You can see it in the hundreds of other ships there, she can't do anything to preserve them for very long and just tries to keep them comfortable for as long as she can because she knows the horror of the hopelessness of their situation and the loss of everyone they know would drive them mad at best and leave them in agony before they expired at worst.
>Also, why is rape ok if the victims are men?
Because it's all in his head? Imaginary rape is a whole other ballgame, and she's not forcing him. She's in his head trying to give him a good last couple of days before he runs out of food, water or oxygen and expires, because there's nothing else there and there's no way to get him somewhere where it exists.
She's not abducting them and raping them, the ships ending up there is a result of a malfunction in their warp drive that puts them way off course and this is sort of a "Null" area they keep ending up in, and it fricks up their ships so much they could never get home. She's not evil, she just doesn't want to see them suffer in their final hopeless moments.
>>what's to stop any advanced civilization from negotiating with the creature
>There's no way back, otherwise she would've just sent them home.
She's a spider feeding off intergalactic flies. How she got there is how you get out. But she won't allow anyone to figure that out. Her true face is at crotch level, and she keeps him sedated with fake illicit sex so he's worrying more about how to satisfy his dick instead of how to get home. You ever watch the youtube channel adventures with purpose? They were on the news for cracking a decades old cold case in twenty minutes just by being fresh eyes. Hundreds of ships is thousands of minds, the best minds in the galaxy. Somebody can figure something out. Instead of using that neural network of hers to facilitate species communicating with one another to become something greater, she's keeping each of them locked in a self-contained looped happy-pill bath.
>she knows the horror of the hopelessness of their situation and the loss of everyone they know would drive them mad at best and leave them in agony before they expired at worst.
She's eating them, and even the truth is a lie. She doesn't give them time to process the situation before resetting their minds. She never gives him a real choice. She fricks him to death.
>She's not evil, she just doesn't want to see them suffer in their final hopeless moments
She's eating him, and probably ate (or is continuing to eat!) his crewmates. If keeping him alive meant a perpetual Backrooms Level ! Loop, she'd do it. She's not evil, no, just like spiders are not evil for cocooning flies. But she's not altruistic, either.
what would be the point of the spider keeping the people alive so it could eat of them? it's a waste of energy. also there would be no point in the delusions when it clearly has to capacity to telepathically dominate them. She's just a lonely spider and these weird tards keep jump driving into her web so she just does what she can for them until they die.
Also the bit where the warp drive software just has a rounding error or something that sends you to frickswhereville is a hilariously good element
>How she got there is how you get out
So just, being there? She doesn't have any form of travel, it's just a big web thing.
> instead of how to get home
He literally got let out of the mind prison and immediately realized he was beyond fricked by just the fact that his ship was torn beyond repair. What was he going to do, weld the front half back on and find a giant ring they conveniently placed in the middle of nowhere to use to warp out of there? It's not like the ships themselves have warp drives, they go in big timespace folding things.
>Hundreds of ships is thousands of minds, the best minds in the galaxy.
And most of them died.
>Somebody can figure something out
Again, it's not a matter of if they somehow manage to duct tape the ships back together after being torn to shreds, it's that they're literally so far out in space they would never be able to make it home because they don't have the big thing they need to actually get home and by the time the next person comes along the first batch has run out of life support.
>Instead of using that neural network of hers to facilitate species communicating with one another to become something greater,
There's ONE guy who survived, everyone else died horribly.
>She's eating him
This makes absolutely no sense in the context of what we saw. Why, the frick, does she need to keep him alive for a little bit if she's eating him? What does she get out of this? Hell, why not just, I dunno, let him out or something and see what happens. What's his decrepit ass gonna do, overpower her? Run off into the void of space? Jump on that ship that's missing half of it and make a go of it? We even see several of his crew and they're not eaten, they're just decayed from having been dead for a while.
There is nothing to indicate she's actually eating them or even wants them there at all, she clearly doesn't need them to survive.
of using that neural network of hers to facilitate species communicating with one another to become something greater,
>There's ONE guy who survived, everyone else died horribly.
Also there's not any indication that other aliens are getting caught up in it, it might just be humans who fricked up on this and everyone else got the software patch.
Bigger issue is how no HUMANS figured out where they kept going, you'd think they'd just send a ship with some kind of tracker or something with the same error and figure out where it lands. Then who knows, maybe you could send the parts for a warp jumper so you can actually get someone home if they get stuck there. Spider-Lady would probably appreciate it, she seems to feel bad about this whole thing.
>it's that they're literally so far out in space they would never be able to make it home because they don't have the big thing they need to actually get home and by the time the next person comes along the first batch has run out of life support.
You don't do it for you. You do it for the next victims. See also: The Black Phone (this year), Outer Limits (1995) Dark Matters.
That sounds great but like, where are they getting the stuff for the big ring?
I don't mean the metal, lets assume she has tools or something, but where are they getting the dark matter or whatever that lets the big ring actually do the warp? It clearly isn't on a ship, otherwise they would use it for their warping instead of using the ring, so even if they make a Cargo Colt facimilie they just left the next guys with a big hunk of useless metal because, again even if they had a perfectly functioning space ship with life support and food/water renewal or something they're so far out that it would take literal centuries to make it home and they know it.
Attributing any sort of malevolence or hidden agenda to the spider doesn't really match up with what we've seen, it just looks like some unlucky sobs keep ending up where she lives and she doesn't want to be an butthole and let them suffer.
based had the same experience.
Everyone who's ever tried to sell me on this show were pseuds, and it appeals to anyone who thinks a half-way dramatic premise about endless suffering or some bullshit trauma is instant kino and then gives it bonus points because of its experimental 3D arthouse shit.
Its ten poles below any half-way decent Twilight Zone or Creepshow or Tales from the Crypt type isolated vignette storytelling show, and yet its celebrated because its edgy adult storytelling for homies who never touched a titty or read a decent graphic novel in their lives.
A couple of good ones don't save it from beiung just another netflix reddit show.
The first episode is about 3 robots on an outing wtf are you talking about?
Sonnies Edge is sometimes the first episode, it was for me. Netflix apparently shuffles them because it turned people off and comedy is a much easier sell than monster allegory rape.
Aquila Rift is the only one of these I even remember. Actually before OP posted the image I'd forgotten that "Love Death + Robots" was even its name; I'd thought it was some Dust short I'd caught on youtube.
Aquila Rift was ultrakino tho'. Wasn't it an Alastair Reynolds story? Reynolds is a formidable storyteller.
>Wasn't it an Alastair Reynolds story? Reynolds is a formidable storyteller.
Yep. But the show changed a bunch of things, like the fact the main character is cheating on his wife with the spider-image and they have a pretty frank discussion about that where she calls him out on being hypocritical about it. Admittedly the short works better without that subplot, it kind of takes away from the core idea of her distracting him from the hopeless reality if she's suddenly reminding him about said reality she wants him to avoid, but everything else including technobabble is on the nose.
yeah our Mr Reynolds has a habit of thinking up too many ideas and splatting them onto the page, even when the narrative doesn't really call for them. The "revelation space" trilogy could have been two books, easily
>Wasn't it an Alastair Reynolds story? Reynolds is a formidable storyteller.
Did he write it before or after the Outer Limits episode about the colony needing a vaccine?
If you're talking about: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cold_Equations_(The_Twilight_Zone)

There's also a sort of sequel.
I want a vidya based on Aquila Rift
I hated that every second episode was about soldiers/mercenaries that all were like "hey, let me frick that pussy! Haha!"
those episodes make me want to kill myself from cringe
It's an overall ok series, but it has the weirdest fluctuating quality. Season one is overall mediocre with a couple great ones. Season 2 doesn't have the same lows, nor the same highs as far as I remember. Season 3 seemed to me the one with the best overall consistency, plus the cgi for some episodes is really really impressive.
The problem with shirt stories is that it's easy to set up an original or interesting idea, but with the short time given most directors seems to fail at developing them. An example is the giant episode in 2, great idea completely wasted, what the frick was even the point of that story? No story, no conflict, no interest in even hinting at its origin, nothing to be learnt. Just some guy being gay about a big corpse for ten minutes.
