It was but it should've been at the end of the season, not in the middle.
Fang has babies at the end and Spear goes his own way. Screenshot this.
Pretty fun. Weird but fun.
It was fun. Certainly didn't expect it, and can only wonder if it'll have any bearing on the overall plot, or just be Genndy doing a "This is what my show's about, in case you didn't understand" for whatever reason.
Of course it does, the whole point of this is to show you how Humanity and Dinosaurs come together.
The Primal theory is suggesting that in the future the world started over.
To survive humanity evolved to where it could survive in a world that now had magic, dinosaurs again, zombification and creatures that evolve I to something else.
GAYBlack folk IN VICTORIAN ERA ENGLAND
Absolutely
You know what, for once, you're nearly right. While the convict wasn't black, it looked like he was going to take Charles to the gym for a moment.
But back then, gay used to just mean fun, so...
Come on now, you (or someone) went to the trouble of editing that, but not Darlington himself?
Fine, here's my official request for GAYGENTLEMEN
Here you go anon
The 1890s were commonly referred to as the gay 90s.
>The 1890s were commonly referred to as the gay 90s.
I thought the 1990s were called that too?
The 1990s were the radical 90s.
Imagine Primal in the 1990s.
Everyone would be drawn like action figures. Cut the blood.
Mira would have big breasts and hair, her Scorpion tattoo would be on her upper chest like you have to stare at her breasts to see it.
Everything spear and Fang face would be a toy. They're would be variations of spear and fang like wholly mammoth armor spear and fang.
Oscar Wilde himself single handedly altered the definition of the word “gay” to become synonymous with “homosexual” that same decade.
Had this been a few years ago, this episode would have marked the mid season break for the show. Over a year would pass before the next episode would air.
Post your reaction if this episode was the last we saw of Primal until late 2023
I don’t even think it’s hypothetical, I think this genuinely was meant as a mid season break episode. The Viking dudes suiting up to go after Spear and Fang was the true stop point, so they needed a filler in there. That way when it came back, it’s straight to the battle
I'd shit.
That's the bell I ring every time I hear dialogue in this show.
that was only because they weren't done with the first season in 2019 yet AS wanted to air them anyway so we got the delay. Genndy probably liked how fricked everyone got over the mid season 1 finale and decided to do it again deliberatly with season 2.
Honestly the split was perfect for that season, unintentional or otherwise
Yeah it sucked waiting for so long but it make the insane hype of the early airing of Plague and eventual Scent of Prey so much more than it would have been otherwise
Wrong. AS was season splitting all their shows. They stopped because it was moronic
The worst part of this scam is that now only 4 episodes remain to finish Spear and Fang's story.
Even though it was mostly a filler episode I'd say it was Kino and an overall good episode. If it somehow fits into the rest of the main story in a proper way then it would be a 10/10
I liked it. I wish there was more "period horror" in general.
I mean, the only female in the episode was the cook, and she was only mentioned briefly
you cheeky c**t
Did you see the blood on the walls?
>cook taking a leak on the walls
Friend of mine worked as a nurse at an old folk's home for a bit and apparently in the bathroom someone pressed their ass against the wall and blasted diarrhea against it.
Its a real thing.
Good one
heh
CARLOS!
Have you no dignity?
So?
Watch season one of 'The Terror' if you haven't already
Thanks, I'll check it out.
Fricking period drama horror kino
Great series. Anything more like that?
No. It was a filler episode written around a joke and completely unrelated to the season's plot thus far.
Someone didn't watch Atlanta Season 3 on FX and Hulu
Who the frick would?
you could've stopped at "Atlanta"
That's the joke, anon
Loved it. Pity the show's dead.
>Here is your madman!
Fricking got 'em
here you go
Impressive
Very nice.
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT
Not bad
Now let's see Darlington's numbers
Nice twins, Booth
Good Heavens
>hype the episode to the moon with the special promo
>it’s a filler episode that has absolutely nothing to do with anything that has happened thus far
Genndy really cannot make it to the finish line on any projects, can he?
With all the hyper-healing taking place, you can tell he has to cut around corners to get things done as quickly as possible
Captcha; 0RKD4
We're going to spend the next 3 episodes on Mira romance, then the last episode is going to be another rushed mess.
I was honestly expecting Charles to do more considering his face had elements of Spear's, though I get why story wise it had to be Darlington.
Or maybe the sympathetic characters just have sameface idk
Maybe Charles is one of Spear’s descendants (or maybe somehow ancestor, if they do a post-apocolyptic devolution/evolution-type think) and that’s hey he had a similar facial structure? Which would be somewhat fitting, in a way, since he’s the only one who (originally) believed in the Primal Theory
Every single character in this episode is descendant of spear
Or none
Preview for next week's episode. Naval Combat
https://twitter.com/swimpedia/status/1557949626208210945?s=20&t=3w2Pf4h5x1bjVZGtKB46aQ
The next 3 weeks episode titles imply naval adventures
Chief > 100 people
Now you know why he's chief
You think he was elected?
yeah that episode overpowered spear and fang too much
too be fair the entire village was in sleep mode when Spear and Fang showed up, but the Chief had full preparation not to mention bloody revenge fuel
Reverse ninja rule. The more ninjas are on screen, the more disposable they are.
The virgin Thursday - 231/0.11
The CHAD ToonamiGOD Saturday - 271 0.11
Why did Genndy insist on making his own show a failure?
moron. The episode has to premiere on cable the day before going to HBO max where the real money is. Genndy knows this and knows releasing to streaming on Friday at the start of the weekend is the gold slot. And what do you know Primal has been one of the top trending HBOMax shows every Weekend.
The Toonami airing last Saturday was boosted by the Smiling Friends special before it.
THERE YOU HAVE IT!
>completely unrelated to the season storyline
>weird-ass "murderous asylum patient" trope
>escaped patient literally running around on all fours eating faces like a rabid chimp
>bad comedy
>not even a point that ties it together with the rest of the season
it sucked
mega?
Seconded, buddy and me are up at the crack of dawn wanting to watch it together.
you mean your boyfriend?
I miss when insults on here were creative. I don't mind being the butt of the joke but at least make it funny man.
aww poor you, maybe sucking on your boyfriend's wiener will cheer you up?
That's the same joke.
I'll keep repeating it as long as you keep taking it up the butthole.
I'll be honest with you, for a second there, I thought Genndy was going to do a twist where Spear was just a mental patient and all his adventures were in his head. Glad that isn't the case.
Same, but it was too obvious. The very last thing I expected was the whole "THERE YOU HAVE IT" shove in your face style talk at the end and I absolutely loved that shit
Yeah, that was great!
I would have preferred something like that to what we got. People are too afraid of pissing off the twitter crowd to actually subvert expectations like that.
The end felt like a gag from Dexter's Lab.
I don't know man, pulling a "it was all in his head/just a dream" is a difficult thing to pull off. People usually don't like a bait and switch.
That’s not subverting expectations that’s just shitty writing.
And what we got, wasn't?
>The end felt like a gag from Dexter's Lab.
You know what? it did.
I don't get why people are being so pissy about this episode. I guess it's the same people who freaked out after the season 1 finale meant that the show wouldn't just be caveman vs beasts episodes ad infinitum and would actually dare to do something different and evolve.
Wouldn't surprise me if this just a bunch of the "reee, women will ruin the show!" shitposters changing gears since they can't blame this episode on Mira
As a woman hater who loved this episode, personally, I'm pretty sure most of the thread shitting is coming from a liberal leaning redditor actually.
>liberal leaning
Based on...?
hey satan, if you bother to check the spammer's reddit acct and read through his post history you'll see he's one of yours
Ah yes everyone on the internet is the same person. Have you considered medication?
It's really easy to be disingenuous in an anonymous forum, it's part of the fun. Hope you're enjoying your stay 🙂
Yes you are a good arbitrator on the proper usage of time, man who argues on anonymous internet forums for comics and cartoons.
I have never watched stranger things wats the deal with that
Something about dicknipples, if you look up the primal subreddit it shouldn't be hard to find, he's got multiple threads where he's complaining and some posts last thread were near identical.
Interesting. Maybe, uh, you should just go there and stop bringing that shit up here for the sole purpose of complaining about sites you don't like.
>bothering to go through some redditor account to check political leaning because he doesnt like the latest cartoon episode
It's time for you to leave this planet.
>check the spammer's reddit acct
And where have they posted this? Swear to fricking Christ, you people go on about people and their reddit/twitter accounts like everyone is meant to know who specific ANONYMOUS homies are.
Reddit is already comparing the episode to that Stranger Things episode where Eleven joins a street gang
explain?
not everyone watches capeshit
Stranger Things had an episode where a character had their own little side adventure that was disconnected from the main plot, people hated it because it came after a climactic ep that ended on a cliffhanger which interrupted the season's flow, the ep's tone and story felt like it came from a totally different show, and just the fact that it had little to do with the actual plot beyond developing the character a bit.
Ever since then the showrunners have pretended that the episode never existed and the show hasn't referenced it again.
Well it wasn't like they threw spear and fang into the Victorian area out of nowhere, and Tartavosky did mention wanting to do an anthology.
They could never reference it again and it would be perfectly fitting.
Projecting that I have something to hide?
What? You're madder than the cannibal
That you're the actual redditor, trying to get people to look at your blog shit or whatever.
Yes you caught me please come look at my reddit account 🙂
Whatever, moron
No, no you got me, come look at my reddit account! I have one! It's right there! Everybody should go look right now!
>They could never reference it again and it would be perfectly fitting.
Too late, people are now expecting a reveal that Primal is actually a post-apocalyptic setting.
Is that even a thing outside of this and the last Cinemaphile thread? I mean I honestly wouldn't mind but I have mixed feelings about it.
Like what are the odds animals would re-evolve to be like our actual prehistoric animals instead of brand new creatures?
Then again I guess there's literally magic and I could sort of see people brought to low tech returning to the ancient cultures that spawned out of their genetics because arguably that culture springs out of a low tech manifestation of their genetics maybe?
I don't know!
I just take it as an alternate history past thing, I mean, for all we know even the victorian england thing was within the same timeline and they have neanderthals which live alongside of humans into the 1890s and that's why the madman is built like one.
So much speculation!
>for all we know even the victorian england thing was within the same timeline and they have neanderthals which live alongside of humans into the 1890s and that's why the madman is built like one.
I assume Primal is doing the "forgotten history" thing, like yeah there are dinosaurs but stuff like zombie viruses and witches have been completely scrubbed that people never knew they existed in the past.
I could see that being the case, and it would be really neat actually if it ends up being presented that way. I really don't mind the post apocalypse future theory people are throwing out but it doesn't make any sense to me in comparison to the forgotten history idea you posit.
Maybe it's my fault my suspension of disbelief runs out so quickly...
Does he just enjoy the suffering of his viewers?
So, sort of like the Hyborian Age then, in a way?
Man who cares about Reddit. I doubt any of them read anything by Howard
The gang was just awful, but it would have been tolerable without the tall mother fricker talking like Jared Leto's jokers.
season 2 was doing something different that worked. this episode was from a completely different fricking show
Evolve into what exactly? The last season had far more variety than the Mira season has, and it didn't need to switch randomly to England 1890 to do it either.
sincerely think some people didn't want the show to have a deeper meaning or any messages/themes in general
>didn't want the show to have a deeper meaning or any messages/themes in general
ah yes, "man is primal", how deep. definitely not something that's been covered in every other episode of the fricking show.
>*civilized* man is primal
The theme isn't about Spear. It's about the guys after him.
Its just some reddit homosexual don't pay attention to it.
This is preferable to turning Spear into Conan.
Fang is great and I liked the witch from Coven of the Damned.
Primal has been heavily inspired by Conan from the start. Are you only just realising this now?
I still hate Mira and everything she represents but I loved this episode. Mostly because it didn't affect the plot at all.
I think a comination of people who just want to b***h about anything, like even the last episode got some pissy homosexuals despite being great. Then the expectations of this being something important to the overall story being completely dashed by it being a nonsequitor.
It's great but I can see loregays having blueballs so bad that they need to see a urologist.
Yes but I'm almost certain I have a complex and the guy gave me serious Mr.Hyde vibes so I was thinking rape since probably the first encounter.
After a few seconds I was almost certain he'll just eat him or something.
What do you mean by communicate? Literally, of course not. Spear can't even communicate with Mira past her name and spent atleast days with her. At best they'l communicate like Spear does with Fang n that they have a vague understanding of one another.
Like let him know why he did what he did I guess
I don't think that matters to either man at this point.
I think he'll probably get a good idea seeing that Spear is close to Miraand understand that she's likely the reason. How he'll react to that fact, who knows.
Because there isn’t time for this shit. This entire story needs to be wrapped up with this season
It's just fat israelite reditors upset
The episode was a really fun offshoot, the spergs are just pissy because it broke the mold of the show. Same people who got pissed over the Smiling Friends go to Brazil. Sure the asylum patient guy brings up a lot of questions that don't have answers, and the total ineptitude of them trying to fire guns was kinda silly, but by the end it started to feel like it fit in as an episode of Primal, and I think that was the point. Plus it was funny how that Frenchman died in one punch.
twas great
weird surprise, but a fun one
What people were expecting vs what the episode actually was
even the fly episode had a point. it also had the same protagonists.
Did anyone else think Charles was about to be raped when the convict ripped his shirt off?
GRUG GRUG
I thought maybe he'd get his chest torn open.
Yeah, really thought we would pan back to reveal the madman had ripped Charles' heart out or something.
Yeah, I thought he was going to go all Kano/Kahli-Mah on him
We /y/ now.
rape
Yes. Wish he did too
I thought that Charles was the one who was going to go primal and that was the moment it was going to happen
>local psycho not so tough after getting molested
Same. Though I can kind of see how that might have been predictable to some people, so having his pal be the one to ape out and kill the crazed inmate does kind of subvert the expectation that the person with the theory would have to be the one to prove it.
It was obviously going to be Darlington or whatever the older guy's name was. He had been getting more and more into the right mindset over the course of the episode, while Charles only toughened up very slightly towards the end.
No. I thought he was going to rip his heart put.
No, I thought he was gonna get his heart ripped out and eaten cartel style. Stop being a homosexual.
Killer psychos just be like that man
He was gonna go for the douple nipple twist
I thought he was gonna mark Charles with his nails.
Not just any kino, but SUPER kino.
>episode didn't have a point
It literally gave you the point at the beginning and visually guided you throughout the episode to hit that point home
if there was a point explain how it was meaningful to spear and fang's journey
It's primal
i don't think there was a point, but i think that's the way it should be. frick continuity, they make a good one with rage of the apemen/scent of prey and suddenly they think they should keepndoing it
I really liked it and there's a lot you can say about it but it is out of place. Primal is about Spear and Fang and this episode didn't just lack Spear or Fang, it had nothing to do with them or their story as a whole.
So was this the controversial twist Genndy was talking about in the pre release interviews?
I don't think this was the twist because it didn't reveal anything about Spear's story.
Umm anon the convict had spear's body type but Fang's teeth and eyes. This is hinting at the super human raptor race that they will make later in the show.
Serirs taking place in far future when whole population went Primal.
I think yes because he mentioned how it was about him having fun as a storyteller.
Also, did people already catch the samurai jack easter egg?
no what was it
it does seem that way
I love the civilized man becoming unga bunga to survive trope, that's always enough unga bunga for me
When they’re grabbing armor/weapons one of the things next to them is a samurai helmet that has a little dog pendant on it like Jack wears in the premiere movie.
Are you talking about the Kabuto the old guy picked up?
No, same shot though. On the upper left of the case
So looks like Spear is fighting Eldar. You think they’ll be able to communicate?
Doubtful. Could imagine Mira possibly managing to say something, though doubt it'll do any good since, you know, Spear and Fang are 100% responsible for the village's destruction
I think Eldar is the child, there's already a character called Chieftain with the same VA
Wiki says Eldar
The wiki could say anything it pleases. Do they have a source for that?
All I know is the Kid has way to much gear on him and I feel he will be chucked in to the sea and the Eldar either has to pick his revenge or save his only Son.
Spear is looking so much like Conan with his new sword
>"But under the right circumstances, facing a primeval threat, I assure you gentlemen that our evolution will revert back to its primal savage form, fighting for survival at the very cost of humanity"
That's it, that's probably how this episode ties into the season as a whole. So far Spear has become more "human" from socializing and opening up with other humans like Mira and the scots, caring deeply enough for the former to travel to another land just to rescue her but he might have to ultimately reject all of that at the end when they face off against the horned demon and embrace his inner monke to defeat it.
Wait, his has goat like legs?
And a horse wiener
So since Jack's finale ripped off Gurren Lagann, could that mean Primal will rip off Dragon Ball Z and have Spear go Super Unga Bunga? Or even GT with some kind of Monkey Man thing akin to SS4?
He's only got 4 episodes left, that's not nearly enough time for him to transform DBZ-style
Frick me, you're right.
It was literally the wedding scene from Gurren Lagann, right down to the GF vanishing because her lifeforce was tied to the big bad. Only difference was that Jack couldn't will Ashi back to life on a whim and simply choosing not to.
"Going Primal" IS the transformation.
Yea, and to be true to DBZ it needs to take about 15 episodes to happen
>that's not nearly enough time for him to transform DBZ-style
They literally introduced the black goo and had Spear use it to transform all in the same half of an episode. Four episodes is more than enough for any kind of transformation.
>ripped off Gurren Lagann
no the final episode ripped off Sym-biotic Titan
God please fricking no
the senator armstrong nanogoo was funny but lets not go back
Pretty jarring to see the inmate get shot with arrows, then the arrows disappear, then they reappear only so the inmate can rip them out.
mega?
Anons, be honest with me. Is Blakely alright? He was just punched once. He is just unconscious, right?
Was that the French guy? He might be alive. I think glasses guy was dead though.
Chubby guy with samurai helmet
Eh yeah I think he died.
;_;
Doesn’t he kind of groan when Charles checks on him?
No. He got knocked out by the headbutt and his glasses shattered on his face. He doesn't make any sounds or movements after that.
Darlington and Charles seemed to think he's probably still alive, though. They don't dare to shoot when the madman uses Blakely's body as a human shield. Charles tries to wake him up until Darlington tells him they've gotta focus on the bad guy.
I think it's possible Giroud might be alive too. He got knocked out by a punch. But Bertie (the old guy with white beard) and Stevens (the butler) got chunks eaten out of them before they were left on the floor with big bleeding wounds, either unconscious or dead.
Ah, okay then. I guess I misremembered.
Also, speaking of the human shield part, I thought that gag went on for just s little too long. Maybe it happening two times should’ve been the right amount, and after the second one, the madman slimes at them like he’s just toying with his prey, then he throws him at them.
But then again, this is Genndy, and Genndy likes his comedy, even in serious stuff.
Blakely was glasses guy
Bertie was old dude who got his throat torn out
Giroud was the frog
I mean everybody lost a lot of blood, there's no telling how it'll take to get to a hospital, and they have to make do with Victorian medicine.
https://mega.nz/folder/XnR0WJia#DCOf82krVdnzGmCDsEkGkw
Gotta admit, this was a really suspenseful episode. The whole time I had no idea who was going to survive.
give me the fricking mega i ain't gonna ask again
actual moron
if ur gonna post that image u can only speak in *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*
He did
Wait you can understand him?
>Story takes place in 1890
>Dawin was born in 1809 and died in 1882
What did Genndy mean by this?
Who ever said Charles was Charles Darwin?
No one, anon just keep reposting same post since the last two threads
No one said that, it's an assumption everyone is making cause the guy is british and talks about evolution in the victorian era.
Nah, I'll do whatever I want.
Yea, well, you're still a homosexual for some homies on reddit
Nah. You're prolly just mad cause you got called. The only people who are even responding about this shit seem weirdly defensive, something to hide... no one else gives a shit lmao
>says the guy who brought up reddit out of nowhere and expects people to know about specific people, on the internet
Keep projecting, tardo.
And those who complain will do whatever they want to while living rent free in your head.
Or it could be FRICKING OBVIOUS
Alternative timeline. This is the same world where dinos and cavemen lived together and fought the devil
Yeah I think it might be this. Or Genndy doesn't give a shit.
I just thought he was a reference. Like how Genndy did Professor Hawk when Stephen Hawking was real
Genndy probably didn't bother to fact check, simple mistake.
The answer is simple...
Charles Darwin being born at such a later date in this setting is what caused the world to revert back into its primal state.
Or Genndy is dyslectic.
Or it’s just a little reference/artistic liberators.
Last two are the most believable.
>the madman and Eldar share the same voice actor
what did Genndy mean by this
They wanted someone who could make angry yelling sounds that wasn't already voicing Spear?
And Spear and the constable share the same voice actor.
>"primal's ratings are BAD!"
>when you add up the thursday and saturday viewership they're on-par with numbers from both halves of Season 1
And still worse than Birdgirl.
nope.
I reckon it's plausible for Giroud and Blakely to survive despite getting their shit rocked. Other old dude is hella dead though
Yea, a headbutt wouldn't necessarily kill, though it'll definitely leave the guy dazed for some time.
His design kinda reminds me BTAS Killer Croc
Yea, I was getting Croc vibes with the teeth and weird skin color. Wonder if that was meant to be implied, or just coincidence.
Oh yeah, he kinda does
VGH
KINO
I fricking kek'd hard at that ending.
Imagine going through something like that, shoulder bleeding, colleagues dead and then you whip out "hah, told you homosexual".
That is exactly how a pulpy horror short story from that era would end, just smack you over the head with the thesis of the story.
What was that fricker juiced up on holy shit
he was on that jenkem
It was 1890 England, so probably some bad coccain, rotten opium, and expired eel pie. And add to that a spot of indigestion.
Chekhov sure had a lot of fun with the interior decoration this ep.
that episode was cool
>Now that the dust has settled, was it kino?
Not enough unga, not enough bunga.
You know now I want to see spear find a gun now or have filler episode where they in more futuristic setting
I'm just imagining something like this, just with Spear screaming like an idiot as he mows down everything in sight
Wasn't kino. It was a generic murder mansion story. Didn't even have a mystery and the villain was just some unexplained psychopath that has superstrength for no reason. This makes Blumhouse films look like art.
>Didn't even have a mystery and the villain was just some unexplained psychopath that has superstrength for no reason.
the brain of the crazy does not work like a normal brain, they have fewer physical limits than us, these physical limits can also be broken for a short time with adrenaline.
It was a traditional or CLASSIC murder mansion story. Genndy isn't a dopamine fried homosexual like you and your entire generation, he appreciates stories that do not overstay their welcome with Game Theory homosexual youtubers and dino porn.
>Nooooo what do you mean theres a bad guy without some tragic back story!!!
I liked the episode but my inner autism prevented me from enjoying as much as i wanted to. It felt like the man-beast was toying with his prey for most of it and if he wanted to he couldve murdered them all very quickly and tha bothered me. Also it felt like he teleported when he was knocking on the door the busted through the window on the other side wtf was that
>Also it felt like he teleported when he was knocking on the door the busted through the window on the other side wtf was that
Yeah, that did seem too fast. Heh, unless time passed in the show between commercials?
But when that happened, o thought that the reveal was that, the madman had some sort of “primal virus” and it was infecting the people he hit and turned them into savages too, and then it would (somehow) show society falling to this “primal disease” until they went all the way back to the Stone Age, but then the virus eventually worked its way out of their system, and they started evolving at a faster rate, due to some of them, on certain continents, finding old remnants of previous technology and tools, and they “reverse engineered” them into other tools that they could recreate. And then maybe, the “primal virus” was somehow still around, even after leaving most peoples’ systems and them growing immune to it, but it too had evolved (or devolved) and instead of simply being a “primal virus” it had slowly turned itself into that zombie-like plague we see in Plague of Madness. And maybe the black goo that the Ape Men (and Spear) drank was like some sort of concentrated form of the “primal virus” (and maybe the Night Feeder). But since they were already primal themselves, and had some sort of immunity, the effects weren’t permanent. But then the more humanity evolves, the less immunity they have to the normal “primal virus”, and, once the world reaches a certain point, they’ll undoubtedly end up catching the “virus” again and Ho back into their primal states, like some sort of primordial vicious cycle.
It was a good episode especially since it gives us a brief break after the depression that was Red Mist. Frick those Vikings were actual morons but I’d be lying if I didn’t say that the father and son do have a right to try and avenge them.
I kinda got reminded of this Immortal Hulk issue during this episode
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of that as soon as I saw the establishing shot.
It’s only a couple years off
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. For some reason, this season just feels meh. I don't know what Genndy could have done better at this point, but I feel that the stories' direction certainly isn't the best it could be, and my gripe has little to do with this episode. Again, not bad, but I think he bit off more than he could chew.
It was kind of stupid. Neanderthals were just dumber humans. They didn't have super powers.
>He said while magic exists in the show
I hope they make Fang fly just to set off your autism
>A wizard did it, so that means it's good!
You can't have that be the answer to everything.
Gotta love how slow this thread is since Fang wasn't in it.
This show has a 24/7 general which take a lot of the wind out of its sails when it’s actually on the air
Fang is the (sexy) heart of the show
Current rankings based on 127 people:

I don’t do averages. Which got the most for what
We all know average person is dumb
This is ranking is good, although personally I would swap the top two.
Episode 1 is just a run of the mill Primal episode. Spear and Fang against the ocean with some great art. There's no reason why anyone would hate this episode but it's pretty standard for Primal season 1. Episode 2 is my personal favorite. Some people didn't like the introduction of homosexual Sapiens but I thought it was so cool. It was a very tight and emotional story and seeing Bronze-age societies had the same sense of wonder as seeing prehistoric animals in past episodes. Episode 3 was a set up episode and couldn't stand by itself. Episode 4 thus had a lot of pay off, but I felt the pacing was weird. Episode 5 had overly verbose Britbongers fighting a boogeyman. It had nothing I liked about Primal and is easily the worst episode.
So if spear and eldar are fighting and fang and the kid are fighting, I’m pretty sure that means fang is going to kill the kid.
at this point, i am so deprived of adult animation that's not fart jokes or anime teenagers I savor even the most meh episodes. At least the animation was fantastic.
Goodnight Primal General, I love you guys
Good night Anon.
>FINALLY SOMEONE LET ME OUT OF MY CAGE
Like pottery
so is the moral of the episode that if Scar was around in *relatively* modern times he'd be a monstrous lunatic who kills indiscriminately ?
the moral is that in the modern society; Societal expectation, higher education and construction of objective/ religious morality has basically cut off any and every primal instincts we human have had back in the days of spear where we once view a kill or be kill lifestyle
However when we are confronted by the evil of something like the madman who is primal evil no different from the Krong & the ape-men, Red-Rexes & Night feeder we human for lack of the better term "Return to Monk" and devolve to destroy this evil
that the primal theory
He said "Primeval" not "Prime Evil" you idiot.
Yeah this episode is an absolute betrayal of the themes of the show. Previously it was just like Conan which showed that being savage doesn't mean being cruel, and being civilized doesn't mean being nice. Spear is depicted with being full of humanity, but Charles directly states that the Primal theory means they'll revert to a savage state at the cost of humanity which is the opposite moral.
Didn't he kinda do that in the last episode though? He showed at first that he didn't want to fight women and children but when he was put under extreme duress he wasn't having any more qualms.
What sort of situation would lead Spear to kill a bunch of British people. The "savage" inmate endangered its life to kill for no reason. That's nothing like Spear killing the Vikings.
Well I didn't know we were talking about that guy. I don't know. He was in an insane asylum, he was batshit. He was just there to represent the primeval threat that Charles mentioned.
I don't know how people missed this, he literally has the same teeth as Spear did on Aku Juice, and Darlington's reaction after what happened were 1 for 1 what we've seen Spear do after a fight he feels bad about.
Its a thesis statement for Gendy's anthology idea. Its going to be about people, in bad situations, going "primal" to survive and then dealing with the aftermath of that.
Huh? Nutcase has just regular sharp teeth. Hulk Spear’s we’re still mostly flat as I recall
Its a mix, but they're separated in the gums in the same way, and the eyes are handled the same, I think its trying to capture some elements of hulk spear
>What sort of situation would lead Spear to kill a bunch of British people.
What, them being British isn't reason enough?
>What sort of situation would lead Spear to kill a bunch of British people?
Being in one of their asylums for any amount of time would do it. Do you have any idea how shitty those places could be? Even after watching the whole ep and seeing him shamelessly tear apart several innocent people, I’m still kinda on the fence about whether or not to sympathize with the madman, just because of how shit the mental health system he was in was.
It was the eel pie.
Tha’ll do it.
I think he might've just been tossed in a room to rot. That maybe a tree fell on the asylum and broke his room, allowing him to escape.
If he was killing them, just because he didn't want to go back that would be one thing. Eating people is a straight no for me. Also there maybe a couple of shits in the episode you can see he is enjoying tormenting these people. Like he truly the cat in this cat and mouse game playing with his food.
I think he escaped violently, the constable said he "killed an orderly in the scuffle and all". He was an institutionalized psycho killer.
Your probably right
Also anybody have any good screenshots from this season? I've been so engrossed in the episodes I haven't really saved any.
You're making up backstory to try and justify the lame antagonist.
No, I’m projecting. Learn the difference.
>Violent sadistic killer is from an insane asylum
>"This insane man is a violent, sadistic killer and a combination of circumstances in life must have led him to this"
>"Stop making up backstories"
Yeah and I'm saying that trope is overdone and lazy.
All you see is a trope and you automatically dismiss it because you can't think critically and interpret that it has a fitting place in the story to facilitate its themes.
The “it sucks to be in a victorian insane asylum” trope? That’s not a trope. That’s fact.
Nit him but "escape lunatic" has been done for a lot of horror stories. I'm not even talking about books.
Like those stories you tell late at night as kids.
Oh yeah, the episode as-is is definitely drawing from those. I got some “Murders in the Rue Morgue” vibes, too.
In a way, the episode was still true to how Primal drew inspiration from pulp novels except this time it was victorian era stories rather than fantasy/prehistory.
It was a popular past time in this era to visit “bedlam” as a form of entertainment. It’s possible that any or all of the people in that mansion had gone to the asylum just down the street and had laugh at the guy.
He killed because he had no choice, he originally snuck in and tried to free the slaves, he came across sleeping Northmen and didn't kill them, he only let the Red Mist take him after suffering multiple injuries when they attacked him, the Primal inmate is killing for fun.
>the Primal inmate is killing for fun.
I think the key you're missing is that while the Inmate most closely resembles Spear in appearance and mannerisms he is not suppose to BE a modern version of him. He's a manifestation of the brutality of old way of life, a reminder to the civilized of society that man has not completely fallen away from their primal bestial instincts. Killing for sport alone is rare, even in Primal's world, but the Inmate is not the first one on the show to do it. The others that killed purely for sport were the Night Feeder and the Gorillas from season 1, both rightfully portrayed as cruel and evil.
I agree, I don't really think he's supposed to be a modern representation of spear, just some psycho murderer who broke himself out of an asylum and is going on a rampage.
Absolutely not. The madman is a threat to life and Darlington had to become a primitive berserker just like Spear to defend himself from the threat to his survival.
Just like Charles said: education, society and rules become devoid of meaning when man puts his drive to stay alive in face of imminent danger above anything.
No it show us the difference between a Primal reaction to Survive and a Savage reaction to just kill.
I liked this episode more because the white people were the good guys
funny you should mention that. i was the guy sucking off this episode a few threads back with the whole "first primal of the season" thing and now that i've watched it 6 times i'm starting to take back that opinion. the survival is really one sided in this episode, which takes the primal out of it and makes it a good guys vs bad guy thing. that kind of conflict goes against the SURVIVE aspect that season 1 had throughout its entirety. i was so distracted by main characters end goal that i missed that the antagonist has no goal and is acting completely randomly. the antagonist is an objective evil, something that primal survival shouldn't be
I think my main problem with this season is that Survive isn't really a theme at the forefront of the show. Last season, everything they did was just to survive, this season, they actively go out on a non-survival based dangerous mission and get into predicaments from there.
Because they want Mira to survive
Then it's about Save, not Survive. I could go on about how the amount of time we got to know Mira in the first season (a single episode) isn't worth swapping Survive for Save.
>Survive
>Save
Breed.
That too. We're getting that next season, if there is one.
I disagree. Spear and Fang have always acted upon motives a bit more complex than just survival. The 1st episode of the show has Spear putting his life at stake to protect Fang's kids, they return the mammoth tusk to the pack and have a reverence for their food, and Spear risked his life to save that ape-man from the man bats. They've always had a level of basic altruism and a respect for the natural order. Going on a journey to save their new friend doesn't seem too fetched.
I agree, but then again, I think there's a big gap between the altruism you're talking about, and the amount Genndy's giving them, which is the main motivation for the plot of this season. Sure, if Mira had more development, I'd agree with you that they would do that, but to me, it's looking now like they're saving their third wheel. If the stakes were that they were separated with no Mira, the altruism they show episode to episode would be more believable.
>Sure, if Mira had more development, I'd agree with you that they would do that, but to me, it's looking now like they're saving their third wheel.
Spear is just a pretty caring guy. He protected the kids of an animal he just met even after he lost his family so i don’t think he and Mira need THAT much more
I do. Regardless, It's a better story if a newly introduced character has time to make an impression on the viewers, especially if it's a pivotal character like Mira. If they gave her 2 or more episodes before they had to go and save her I would care. Their is less incentive for the viewer who is supposed to relate to the main character(s) to care about an important McGuffin if that Mcguffin isn't expounded upon; or in this case, doesn't have time to be likeable. The reason Fang's near death mid season 1 was so impactful was because we knew her for 3 episodes beforehand. So it's not that i'm saying Spear is acting out of character, it's that Mira is not an important enough objective to base an entire half or more of a season saving.
it's a better story if she wasn't in it
he was gonna kill her kids first, he just changes his mind when he sees thebonesbthat actually killed his kids show up
Great now whenever I have somebody who hasn't watched Primal I have to tell them that only the first 9 episodes have no dialogue. I can't even get away with saying they use old languages.
Yes, I preferred it over Spear and Fang slaughtering the Viking and his son
>"I assure you, gentlemen, that our evolution will revert back to its Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal™ state."

not with a y7 rating it won't
It was pretty fricking cheesy, and not in a good way.
You’re at a fancy restaurant and these two sit at the table next to you, what do?
Mind my own business. People just tryna eat, damn
wonder how a t-rex was able to fit through the restaurant doors
ask for an autograph or smth
maybe even ask for a picture
Haha just imagine what happened after credits
Darlington high on adrenaline and testosterone
Charles thankful and full of admiration to his yet colleague
It's only natural that they will frick
Yoshi's eggs
I'd be down if Genndy ever wants to do vaguely themed shorts as a series, this was fun.
What do you think Gennedy meant by this?
>"I had a whole arc planned for the second season that initially was going to be part of the first season. But I realized there was so much more we could do in the first season, so we didn't need to bring in this new element. We pushed it to the second season, and then once we started to break it down, I realized we're kind of breaking what we've established, to a degree, and we're heading into the world of cliches. As soon as you introduce some kind of primitive early civilizations, you're instantly in 10,000 B.C. or Stargate, and all that stuff. It didn't feel right for Primal, so I had to rethink it."
>"After that [Mira], that's where we got into a pause for a bit to figure out where we're going to go. Originally, of course, you have to do Egypt, right? Because that's one of the first civilizations with the overlord Pharaoh and slaves, but that's where it really broke for me. It just did not feel right at all. We restarted, and as I was digging through history, I came upon something that I never encountered before in early civilization. I got so excited for it, and it was the perfect vehicle for us for the second half of the season."
gobekli tepe or some Atlantis bullshit probably.
>Adds Celts and Vikings to the same time period as whatever ancient neanderthal/dinosaur crossover period he originally set the show in
>"Egypt is on of the first civilizations"
"muh dinosaurs and humans together plus magic & zombies" is no excuse for laziness such blatant laziness
No one cares about your timeline autism.
Samurai Jack already had Ancient Egypt coexisting with Vikings, Cossacks and Robin Hood.
So then he's just doing samurai jack with a caveman.
I thought they would have just been on a landmass "time forgot" and some bronze age proto Egyptians/Mesopotamians were going to come to it and enslave them. Now we got Western Hunter Gatherers and Steel weaponed Vikings alive at the same time as Bronze age looking Mesopotamians and Celts and he's really worried about 10,000 BC shit?
This I was expecting more mesopotamians and some hunter gatherers.
Neolithic and early bronze age would still be pretty advanced from Spear's point of view, so Genndy would have still had shit to work with. And he could have added some esoteric Atlantean/Hyperborean civilizations into the mix if he wanted. There would even still be dangerous animals all over the place like bears, lions, and aurochs. Magic and weremonsters would still be a thing. And they would probably be more refined from the primal shit they had experienced prior as well.
>he's really worried about 10,000 BC shit?
The interview makes it seem like he just found egyptians to be very lame and found out something about early civilizations that would be a more interesting direction to take the show in.
dude just turn your brain off you're being cringey everyone is laughing at you
aku sends spear and fang to the future but not too far

That was fricking garbage what the frick was Gennedy thinking
He was thinking about the bags of money if he can turn Primal into the next Rick & Morty. 7 season order coming up.
Nice internet, your post from week ago is only displaying now
He saw rick and morty and tried to copy it
have you thanked the french for saving animation yet?
why were they all white?
They were all black people wearing whiteface.
OMG!! SJWs love when everyone’s black so when ppl r white you say WHY NO BL@CKS!?!?!
Really grat subversion there buddy, such wit. 10/10 le epic meme. Go share it with all your twitter friends.
England didn't get DOMINATED at that point in time.
Its set before the great replacement
Well, the mega hates me. That's unfortunate.
But hey, it's not often we get animated Victorian Horror, I'm happy with it.

I thought an anon was fricking with us when he posted this
>oh, that's cool, some people are going to explain some things for context and then it's gonna cut right back to spear's adventure in 2 minutes.
>*5 minutes later*
>damn it it's gonna be one of those episodes
>some people are going to explain some things for context and then it's gonna cut right back to spear's adventure in 2 minutes
I’d be okay with these dudes coming back to do this in another episode.
Honestly I was Expecting the worst but the top they where discussing made sense after the last episode.
Not gonna lie, part of me thought this was gonna be the prequel to Primal somehow.
I think it would’ve been a little better if, at the end, instead of Charles having an excited reaction to it with his “THERE YOU HAVE IT!!!” if he was still in shock and disbelieve, but still wanted to prove his point, and saying it more bewilderedly like “Well... th-there you have it... I, uh, suppose...”
Also, if there were to be a Primal video game, what kind of game would you want it to be? A fighting game? A beat-em-up and/or hack-and-slash? Action-adventure? RPG? A mix of different things? Or if you have an example of an already existing game you could see it being like, or what you’d want it to be similar too, you can say that too, since some games sort of dabble in s lot of different genres and gameplay types, so that might be easier to mix-and-match that way.
>I think it would’ve been a little better if, at the end, instead of Charles having an excited reaction to it with his “THERE YOU HAVE IT!!!” if he was still in shock and disbelieve, but still wanted to prove his point, and saying it more bewilderedly like “Well... th-there you have it... I, uh, suppose...”
I think Charles had a little moment of satiafaction since his colleagues mocked him for the theory but it ended up getting proven in the craziest way possible so that was his way of getting back at them.
I can kind of see that, but also two people entirely uninvolved with the taunting were murdered by the madman, the butler and the cook (whose body we don’t see, so there’s no telling what the lunatic did to that poor woman). I feel like it was played for laughs and comedy, like the human shield part, but it kind of came off as a little callous, character-wise (even if unintentional). Granted, this is the first time seeing those characters, so maybe that’s how he deals with excess adrenaline of almost being killed by a cannibal, like how some people deal with stress by joking about their less-than-ideal situations.
It does, I can see what you're saying, but Genndy's always had this kind of sense of humor. I do think your suggestion is an improvement. Congratulations, you understood what the narrative was going for, didn't complain, and made a perfectly sensible suggestion that doesn't spoil the joke and improves the delivery
I took it more as him processing everything that just happened and being a little delirious at the same time as he comes down from the adrenaline rush.
This definitely has to be a set-up by Charles. Real life asylum patients can't toss cabinets like they're nothing. There were many opportunities where he could have killed Darlington but didn't, and only put Charles in danger to make Darlington save him.
At first, after seeing his reaction after the fact, I thought it was going to be a reveal like in that one episode of the Simpsons where it was all staged, somehow.
Hey, someone had to file down his teeth and give him those tattoos. It's as good an explanation as any.
That actually fits MUCH better. And I think a Primal game would be a horror survival.
Thanks!
Oh, yeah, I had forgotten about survival horror, and there’s a lot of that in Primal, especially with the Night Feeder, those huge bat things and the spider, the witches, and the plague dino (and the madman in this recent episode). Maybe it could be a game that somehow combines action-adventure and survival horror? I feel like there’s some games that do just that, but my mind’s drawing a blank right now on any examples. Since, against “normal enemies”, Spear and Fang can really kick some tail, it’s just that when they go against “the unknown”, in a sense, is when they start really getting scared and running for their lives, before they figure out a way to either outsmart their pursuer or find a way to kill it.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
And yeah, I was going to also comment that Genndy always does like to add a bit of humor in things, even in serious situations. Especially on his works like Samurai Jack and Clone Wars (and Symbionic Titan, but I haven't seen that in YEARS)
I accidentally replied to myself in the second part. The second party was actually meant for
Sorry for any confusion
Na, its completely in line with Charles's characterization up to that point, he did the same thing earlier when Darlington went ham boxing, he's just that kind of butthole.
Loved this episode, it was just good old fashioned fun. No gay loredumps or """""worldbuilding""""", just a callback to times when stories were stories and not electronic anesthetics for the void. Go back to jacking off to dino ass you fricking coomers
>Darlington its you, you're the Primal!
I don't know why the sudden deviation but yeah kino much
This section got me thinking about Genndy doing a western project
i mean, 1/8 of the episode basically turns into RDR2, and Charles with all his stuff on looks like a gunslinger
My dyslexic ass kept reading that R2D2, and kept wondering how R2D2 from Genndy’s Clone Wars was related
I like how the gang weaponry slowly dissolves from firearms to bows and blades to finally spears .
And then after spear, into a pointy stick (which is basically a spear, but without the sharp rock)
It was both proof of concept for the show working with any era of combat, and showing their deterioration back to a primal man
>deterioration
no, purification!
Motherfricking psycho got me chuckling
>AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!
Frick you, Charles.
Don't know where the frick did this episode came from but it's an instant 10/10 piece of Kino to me.
Based Primal Theory enjoyers. It didn't change my life but I'm surprised by how much I liked it. I just really love Genndy's animation style bros
I liked how it was still very much in the primal style even with an entirely different show, my only complaint is they never got graphic enough with the convicts first kills to really hype him up.
I fricking burst out laughing at that, the comedic timing was perfect. Completely unrelated to the ongoing story but a good episode, if this is where Gendy wants to take the series after season 2 I think its off to a good start
I like how Darlington's instinctive reactions in a life-or-death situation make him look cool and badass up until the moment he actually manages to kill the guy. Once the danger is over and the adrenaline rush ends, he finally has a moment to think about what just happened. When it sinks in, he looks so bewildered and shocked.
Anyone can immediately turn out like Darlington as soon as they see a weird looking insect in the living room.
I love how he looks almost similar to the ape men shaman just help contrast the fight between the madman who visually take to hulk Spear
>post yfw this.
I cheered like a fricking idiot when I saw this.
I was hyped when I saw it, but Charles redundantly reading it out loud kinda dampened it. Classic Charles, killing the mood.
Darlington is a natural warrior, Even if he was just an oxnard boxing champion to even accomplish that you have some combat instinct and willpower.
Along with boxing, he must've used some kinds of weapons in action before too. Since the butler addressed him rather than the other men when the Constable arrived, it must've been Darlington's house, which means the hunting trophies on the walls were also his.
His position in the society seemed to be higher than the others, too. He was the only character who was listed with the title "Lord" in the credits.
>FROM HELLS HEART I STAB AT THEE!
That ending has no right to be this hilarious but it does the trick nicely
>five people are dead! for god sakes man, show a bit of decorum Charles
>It’s not the bloody hell time, Charlie! We have to send for a doctor to check whether or not Blakely is really dead, and tonight, I have to go tell Stevens’s wife that her children are fatherless! For God’s sake, man.
I want to watch a group of old English intellectuals going on crazy brutal and sometimes magical adventures.
Good episode, I’m only giving it a 9/10 because I wanted to see more spear and fang
Absolutely fricking loved it. Someone else though when watching it: this is fricking Edgar Allan Poe kino animated. ?
Is it just the lighting or did the experience age Charles enough for his hair to turn from brown to grey?
I think the lighting is to show metaphorical aging
You guys sure are easy to impress, huh.
It was a good episode, I would have preferred they be upfront and announce it as a special not related to the main story, but it was a good episode.
Because we enjoy something good?
I’m an honest man, I see an old victorian era britbong going ape mode with a stick and I get happy.
It was a nice change of pace and for once I wasn't spoiled at all so I welcomed the setting shift.
neo Cinemaphile is like a mix of reddit and tumblr.
Many of the people in these threads also go to reddit, since stuff posted here is also posted there later.
There’s a huge overlap in Cinemaphile and Reddit users. All the “go back” shit is mostly cope and projection
Cinemaphile is so engraved in meme culture that people who don’t like it here come here to collect screenshots
Damn the happiness I experienced wasn't real? I hope you make a 4 hour youtube video explaining why this episode is the worst episode ever
Just watched it and need some time to digest, but I think this was my favorite episode of the season. My guess is Gendy mostly made the episode as a proof of concept for the anthology direction he wants to go, and it was a massive success as far as I'm concerned. When he talked about it being done with a shared style I figured he meant it would all have minimal or no dialogue, but this showed how different the stories could be while still recognizable as part of the same series.
I really thought at first when the 19th century england setting was revealed that it was a teaser for Unicorn Warriors Eternal.
>Darlington slits open the man’s stomach and stabs through his skull with a broken spear handle
Took me out of it, honestly, even for Primal. And I usually give this show a lot of leeway on the “realism.” I could’ve accepted it if it’d been a sword or something, but it was a splintered piece of wood. I think they were going for some kind of symbolism, but it was too much.
Other than that one little detail, 10/10 random episode of Love Death and Robots that seems to have been accidentally shuffled into the middle of the Adventures of Spear and Fang.
More realistic than winning 1 v 100 and surviving 50 arrows
I live in a very wooded area, and have to pick up or drag fallen tree limbs and branches all the time. Some of the jagged edges can be pretty darn sharp, and could stab into s human easily, or cut someone. Sometimes the limbs fall into the ground sticking straight up, and are imbedded pretty deeply into the ground.
It might not cut someone far enough to where guts start spilling out (except maybe in some cases), but some of them could 100% be used stab someone. More fragile things than sharp sticks have killed people, like icicles
That’s why I had no problem with Darlington stabbing the man with it over and over again, as he was when he stabbed his shoulder. It was when he side sliced right through the abdominal muscles and into the intestines like his gut was held in an old flour sack, and then also slammed the wood through the top of the skull, that got me. I fully believe that a good sharp piece of wood can cut somebody up and do real damage, but the human body is also not that flimsy around its vital organs.
>everyone theorising about this episode revealing that people are made from Aku goo
>it's a one off episode not related to the main plot
kek
One of my favorite part of the episode was when we see him boxing. Even the inmate was so surprised the punches actually damage.
For that scene, I was Charles cheering him on. "Yeah get him, stick and move!"
Took me right back to that scene from Jason takes Manhattan
Same, the old man having moves was a nice surprise
It was fine but it also felt like filler and now we only have four episodes left.
5, we have five left
I assume fang is going to eat the Viking kid
GIWTWM
I dont think so to be honest, hes too heavily armored. I think it might actually be mira who kills him with a arrow between the gaps.
What’s a little indigestion
What those letters stand for in the spoiler text?
God I wish that were me
Ohh, haha, I get it now!
vore
>people getting off to being eaten alive
I will never understand that train of thought.
I’ll never understand it either
t.voregay
There’s a lot of different layers to it, s d different people enjoy it for different reasons, and even different types of vore. Sometimes with reformation if digestion is involved
It’s a fetish that comes in layers, for some it’s the act of eating others
I knew a guy that really got drunk at my frat and he just started going off about how he wished he was King Kong so he could eat Ann, not even lying
He was like chad-lite too. Had no recollection of his rant the day after but people kept giving him relentless shit, calling him “King Jon”
I think there are a lot of layers for personal investment in it, its one of those fetishes thats actually just a bunch of different fetishes standing on top of eachother under a trench coat.
For me I like the whole being enveloped in warm soft flesh part of it, but don't really have a death wish.
Da fug i've just watched?
An average jolly ol’ day in England, chap!
Or I guess not, since none of them ended up using any knives. But there was a Glasgow kiss.
What if fang turned into a dinosaur human hybrid?
honestly I thought it was going to be some magic frickery like the witch cult and spear was going to end up in london fighting jack the ripper. I did like this a lot though
Ok so the Darwin episode is decisive among us but do have to ask:
would you guys want the future episodes loop back around to the episode. Have it connect in a way like hard confirming that the madman is spear descendent or had some connection the horned god or the black goo? or do you guys just want it to be left alone as a random filler episode
You mean divisive. I personally thought it was a 10/10 with solid suspense and action as well as really strong themes that go hand and hand with the main narrative. Don't care too much if it plays directly into the main story. I feel it was meant to just get the audience thinking about Spear and his relationship with civilized society. If this episode was aired last in the season I feel people would be less critical and bothered by it.
I am fine with random filler if it thematically touches back on the main story like this one did. It feels like a good exploring of Primals themes and premise outside of the main plot-line.
hell yeah it was kino
>white people killing a brown savage
Based and redpilled, much better than last episodes KILL WHITEY
Almost like Genndy isn't really political or biased, and you were projecting your own baggage the entire time. Imagine that.
Was the inmate brown? Thought he was just grey.
Ashy.
Don't worry, head whitey and his son will die next episode.
The two snakes in his tattoo are making out with each other in that skull.
>YEA CHARLES I’LL BEAT THE SHIT OUT YA
Charles was such a little shit. The characterizations in this were great, even frenchie feels realized with only two lines.
>BEAT YA WISHING IN THAT CREATIONIST PREECHING NOW HUH CHALRES!!
>Haul your ass across town in a storm to visit one of your colleagues, don't even get there in time
>Have to sit through another of Charles' moronic theories
>Get chased through the house by an escaped mental patient
>End up getting knocked unconscious
Being Blakely is suffering.
Yeah, but you just know that every time he went over to Darlington’s place, he was just itching for an excuse to wear one of those cool hats. And he finally got to.
>there’s like four voregays here with us right now
What the hell
Maybe more
Well half of the people in these threads want to frick Fang, so definitely more
The scariest thing is that we live among you, both of us going bait our lives. Then on the Internet we post stuff about how it would be pretty hot to live inside of a predator’s staunch forever.
But none of the “vore” in Primal appeals to me personally, since it would all be considered “hard vore”.
>we live among you
sus
>you will never be swallowed by fang
>you will never be able to snuggle into her soft belly flesh
>you will never be lulled to sleep by her heartbeat
Why even fricking live bros
That sounds gay.
>being inside a MILF is gay
It says it’s premise up front, makes it a punchline in the end, and still manages to execute on it perfectly. If you can’t appreciate this it’s your loss.
I didn't care for it.
Yeah, even civilized humans can turn unga bunga when pushed to their limit, but did we really need an entire episode to get that point across?
Would this episode still be good if it wasn’t part of the Primal series in any way?
It might even be better
Yeah, it's a good self contained story. Everything in here is explained to you, and you can roll with the ride when it happens.
I would have liked it more if it weren’t in the primal series.
It would fit Love Death and Robots perfectly.
I've actively hated the last 3 episodes, and complained about them just being a bunch of human shit instead of fantasy monsters, but this episode was a breathe of fresh air.
>too much human shit
>calls an episode entirely made up as humanshit fresh air
It's a miracle what happens when they return to episode content, instead of an overarcing fetch quest to save some bald b***h I have no interest in.
>the episode is already the lowest rated on IMDB
Spear and fang chads, I kneel
I thought Charles yelling “TWIST HIS DICK” was a bit too much
agreed.
hardly behavior one would expect from a supposed gentleman.
Though I can understand getting carried away by your passions in the heat of the moment.
For instance, the moment Charles suggested he and Darlington should have coitus with the holes now present in the bleeding madman.
GIVE HIM THE OLLLD DICK TWIST.
I'm going to say this right now, you know what would be excellent?
A Minecraft cartoon directed by Genndy. I mean, the elements are there
>Long stretches of quiet moments
>Survival stuff
All that jazz
I want a Genndy Godzilla cartoon
Gamera would be more suiting
>minecraft
I'd much rather have a Donkey Kong Country with no dialog or singing all visuals and animal noises.
>All that jazz
One of the parts of growing up is appreciating improvised jazz.
I should inform you guys that while Reddit is critical of the episode, Tumblr absolutely loves it.
People still use tumblr?
The site as a whole is a lot more barren, but I just wanted to check to see if people posted about the show there.

heh
Fang almost vored her
Pfffahahahaha
Now you need to sign-up for an account just to browse Tumblr? God this site couldn't be digging it's grave quicker. It's no surprise most cartoon Fandom have moved to discord nowadays. Thankfully Primal has a pretty chill subreddit
I deleted my tumblr out of frustration. Even with an account you constantly have to approve 18+ rated tumblrs. Then you approve it and it's in this weird half window shit. The new owners really fricked the whole site.
I legit cannot believe people still use that place
What made you use it in the first place? homosexual?
I originally used it as a blog for my personal friends to read exaggerated stories of our lives. There was some decent porn on there too back in the day.
B-but anons told me it’s literally only one person who doesn’t like it, could they have been wrong?!?!?
This episode was suprisingly based, It was a couple of ballsy white men in victorian england fighting off a dark-skinned savage. I'm surprised this episode was allowed to happen, Gennedy tartokovsky must be secretly redpilled and racist to WILL something like this on the air despite primal already showing signs of cuckoldry.
Definitely a filler, but definitely enjoyable. I expected the episode to be tied in some way to the current events and I found it kinda cursed to have characters actually talk English in Primal, but it was a neat animation on its own, like an adaptation of some old British short story questioning the nature of man.
If Genndy and AS were just honest about what this was going to be I don’t think it would be nearly as divisive as it’s been
How were they dishonest? They didn't tell you anything other than what you have seen.
The episode description promised a lot, “a night of horrors” and “the origin of man” it could have just been “a group of scholars are hunted by a deranged madman” and it would have been way more accurate
But you didn't pay attention to what they were saying and that it was a night of horrors where a madman was eating people. If they are too accurate you might as well just not air the episode and just tell audience the whole plot.
The only dust I see is the dust on your dick.
It was pretty good. I mean the episode was laying down the world building pretty thick here. Stating that humanity could evolve into spear when it had too.
It also explains why there are Dinosaurs and larger preditors again because the world reverted to a PRIMAL state.
Anyone calling this episode "filler" must be operating with a fried brain. The themes are very clear to the series. The connections are blatant. The Vikings will embrace their inner primal.
Filler just means it doesn’t move the plot along or change anything about the characters in any significant way. It’s enjoyable filler, but it’s still filler
But it does move the plot along, it's literally telling us how the world Spear and Fang are in is the way it is.
>it’s not filler because of my fan theory!
You are an idiot
It literally just states that in the fricking episode. Do you even know who Charles is? That was Charles Darwin.
When he talked about birds and how humanity can revert to a primal state?
Then there is the show where fricking magic and dinosaurs roam the earth with humanity. If you couldn't put all that together when it was so obvious then you are oblivious.
It may be an explanation on why the slaves or Vikings go insane. Otherwise we'd be full of anons posting "Why'd they'd suddenly lose their shit? Vikings shouldn't act like that" or it may be an explanation for Mira's breaking point and embracing her primal state.
I hate this way of thinking. Not every episode needs to move the plot along.
To me Filler comes out of fear. So many episodes are given, and if you deviate from it it becomes 1 episode less. That if the finale feels rush, you go back and say if they didn't do that episode they could have done X episode to help the finale.
It's kind of like liking the art vs liking the artist
How likely am I to scare away, or at least intimidate, something like a wolf or a big cat if I flail a stick and roar like a lunatic?
I'd also like to know this.
Pretty likely if its hunting, less likely if its protecting children.
It'll go for less harmful/dangerous prey if its looking for food, but if it's nest is somewhere nearby it'll do whatever it takes.
The whole point is to make yourself look bigger. Animals perceive things differently and even then it is never 100% certain you succeed, its just one of many survival tactics.
I think it would spook most away but there’s always that small percent that are just persistent or buttholes
>just persistent or buttholes
In other words, very hungry
Some have babies to protect, others might just enjoy hunting humans like those tigers in India
Depends.
Wolves would almost certainly run unless very hungry. Big cats are a bit different. While all of them are ambush predators, not all felines are equal. A cougar might back down simply because it doesn't have the element of surprise. A tiger, on the other hand, is much more territorial and screaming at it might just instigate an attack rather than scare it away.
The episode had to be as near as anyone is going to get to Spear vs Samurai Jack.
so, is there any darlington/charles porn yet?
i am going to be disappointed if there is none
The Viking babby kid is going to drink black goo and become the new scorpion king
The original scorpion king is Charles Darwin
