    So, is Primal set on an isolated island where people de-evolved into monkey men?

      No, the Primal theory is to explain why Spear and Fang wrecked the scorpion vikings even if they have superior numbers, weapons and giant bear mounts.

          It's Robert E Howard logic. Conan can fricking wreck civilized people because he's closer to nature, ergo closer to man's "ideal state." Same reason why Spear can do it.

            The entire episode had a RE Howard feel to it tbh. While a lot of Primal (and Gendy's work in general) has some obvious REH inspiration, this one in particular was Howardian right down to its themes of civilization vs barbarism and manly "man-of-action" protagonist in Darlington. If you told me this was based on a long lost pulp short story, I would believe you. Easily one of my favorite episodes for that reason alone

        I thought the primal theory was a half-assed explanation for why Spear exists. Like, he should have been as advanced as Mira or the Vikings or the Celts but being on that Island with all the dinos and megafauna meant he was living in Primal Instinct mode all his life.

          Not really. He’s a neanderthal, which is literally a different species from those guys.

            That's my point. It's like they're trying to say he's not. He's just fat conan, but thanks to living in PI mode he's got everyone convinced he's a neanderthal.

            okay but if you've watched other shows genndy has been a part of, it's not uncommon to have one off episodes that don't really influence the greater narrative. there's no reason to assume we'll see charles again. the episode's thematic ties to the central primal narrative are enough to justify its existence. I'm not saying they won't bring charles and darlington back but I see no reason for them to and I think it's unlikely.

        Well Conan's stories take place on earth (following the fall of Atlantis), so no reason that Primal couldn't be that same situation.

        Being set in a Conan world already implies it leads towards our world, or at least a pulp version of it. The use of actual old tribes like the picts just reinforced that. Primal is set in our world in the past, just in an impossible fantastical past- just like Conan or Lord of the Rings. You can even put it further- considering Spear seems to be a Neanderthal, and then had to go across the ocean to reach another bit of land with Picts and Vikings, we can assume Primal season 1 happens in fantasy ancient France and season 2 in fantasy ancient UK, which then connects to the latest episode.

          The episode takes place entirely in the airport and we don’t actually see them get to Brazil proper. It was an April Fools episode they couldn’t finish in time but chose to release later anyway for fun. Some people felt cheated even though anyone who’s watched Adult Swim long enough knows it’s one of their most time honored gags to have time waster episodes.

        It's not quite a linear progression though. The first weapon that gets grabbed is a sword rather than something more advanced. And trying to punch the guy comes before bows, spears and sticks.

          I think Giroud, being the most receptive to Charles' ideas before shit popped off represents the factor of individuals with better survival instincts that nevertheless are unable to deal with the overwhelming force of certain desperate survival situations?
          I'd still rate the boxing above the bow because it was highly codified, respectable punching, a sport of sophistication rather than a true weapon (Lunatic seems to be initially just humoring Darlington as he squares up, making a game of it, and it's not that long after he starts swinging back that he gets his hands on Darlington's throat)

          Did he die? He only got punched once, probably into unconsciousness - but he's gone later on, just disappeared. No blood stains, nothing. We specifically pan across the room and see the body of the other fellow and the display from whence Giroud drew the sword, but the frenchman himself is nowhere to be seen...

            Maybe he's dead, maybe he isn't. His injury seemed survivable, but sometimes people have bad luck and end up dying in situations that don't look too bad.
            The missing body is probably just an animation error. Primal's had those every now and then, and I remember some very noticeable ones from Samurai Jack's final season too.

                He was okay though, and would be nice if he survived. He was willing to listen to Charles' theory, and he immediately went for the sword after seeing the lunatic.

    This show promotes violence and primal, feral behaviour. Therefore it wants people (mostly young men) to be violent, unhinged savages. It wants people to behave like Black folk. In every episode there are scenes of brutal killings. Kill kill kill all over again, can you imagine what happens in young brain exposed only to violence? It becomes violent itself.

          Honestly the more I think the more I get disgruntled that it'll probably be limited to this one episode placed unfittingly in the middle of the main show rather than getting some dedicated space of its own where it might have been expanded on or joined by other similar premises
          It's thematically relevant to Primal as a whole, but it annoys dinogays for intruding on their episodes, and it leaves the gaygents wanting more of that

    Predator and prey
    You can see that the 3 who first leave the room are tall, determined and somewhat ready for violence, while the 2 that remain, the glasses guy and the old guy, are meek and cowardly
    Not only that, but before the scene changes you can see the pictures of butterflies and a puppy and a wooden ram's head right after
    If you look at it, both of the meek weaklings got fricked up, while only one of the stronger ones ended up getting offed, the french man
    I think what its trying to say is that the "predators" amongst us will survive while the "sheep" get culled by violent beasts

                To link this discussion back to the topic at hand, the madman's rampage could arguably be seen as a metaphor for the Russian threat to Europe. A brutal, retrograde man invades a foreign home, and terrorises its meekly civilised inhabitants, taking full advantage of their humanist values by methods such as hostage-taking, and is only defeated when they stoop to his level of 'discourse' and defeating him through ruthless tactics.

            Economy's are big, interconnected things anon. Putin's not gonna care that he can't get a PS5, but if no ones buying things eventually an economy grinds to a halt. And Putin does care about that, if only because he can no longer fund his war effort.

            Also yes it is deliberately attempting to piss you off in an attempt to make you upset at Putin. Putin's not a god, he's in power because lots of people support him and allow him to be in charge. If those people were to turn against him because, say, he can't pay them or their families are starting to starve, then Putin's gonna end up with the Rasputin special.

            You happen to be unfortunate collateral damage, which admittedly does suck. Could be worse though, your homeland could be being invaded by some madman powe hungry dictator with dreams of returning to the glory days of Russian power. Man that would be really terrible wouldn't it? Good thing you aren't actively fighting for your right to exist as a nation huh?

Anyone left that's still willing and able to buy from them knows they have Russia over a barrel when it comes to pricing since they just lost/are losing their biggest customer and are gonna demand rock bottom prices that Russia probably can't sustain in the long term.

        I felt like it worked in context though. The whole point was they finally met a greater force than themselves, and Spear had to ultimately go down to their level to win. It even fits with

        No, the Primal theory is to explain why Spear and Fang wrecked the scorpion vikings even if they have superior numbers, weapons and giant bear mounts.

        's take on the latest episode and what it means for framing how the show handles these conflicts. The monkey men were savage, drastically more primal than Spear and Fang, and that combined with numbers gave them a huge advantage by default. Plus violence dopamine, violence always good fun yes.

    So now it’s kinda obvious that Mira and fang like each other (clearly not as much as spear and fang do), with Mira and fang working together to fight the Viking kid

      I'd be surprised if there wasn't an episode where spear has to choose between fang and mira. which obviously implies friction between mira and fang. Would nicely mirror the episode where spear fights fang's mate

          it's not all that weird. fang represents primal nature. I mean she's literally a fricking dinosaur so it's pretty on the nose. meanwhile mira represents civility. she avoids violence unless necessary and has her own culture, can speak fluently, etc. When fang and spear inevitably go back to mira's homeland, fang will probably do something stupid and get attacked by guards or something.

    I don't expect much from reddit but man it's just sad seeing how many people simply didn't "get it" after viewing the episode. Why do you think the show is called Primal? Why do you think his name is Spear? Why do you think they even made this episode? They're spelling things out as clear as day and all redditors can say is "wtf where's fang and spear?". genuinely feel sorry for the creators of the show at this point

      I've been wondering about that. Fang represents Spear's ties to his primal nature while Mira represents his ties to his more civilized nature. Just based on what the show seems to be going for either both will die or neither will. If they really do go the whole "spear becomes civilized" route then fang will likely die. I don't see any situation where fang survives but mira doesn't. Wouldn't make any sense.

      It was a demonstration. The point of the episode was that even civilized people can go primal, which means that the show could work with basically any setting. Genndy showed where he'd like to take the series next. He was probably also testing the waters to see whether people will like this direction or not.

    Damn, just saw ep6 preview and the Viking chief is doing great against Spear. So that begs the question, WTF was that village full of weakling Vikings then? You're telling me that only the chief can actually put up a fight against Spear, out of all the Vikings in the village?
    >muh dead family rage
    seems like a shitty reason for the chieftain to be able to put up a fight against Spear. Even with the chieftain wearing armor, the preview shows that physically, strength for strength, they match. The chieftain's hand to hand skills do damage and he can even throw Spear with one hand. Meanwhile, Spear was ragdolling fricking droves of genetically similar Nords like they were made out of wheat chaff. Did the chieftain really carry his entire weakling village in terms of fighting and physical ability?
    I can believe rage being a power-up for Spear, since we know his background and strength feats but you can't just slaughter an entire village of jobbers and expect me to believe that when Jarl Jobber shows up, he is all of a sudden several power tiers stronger than his subjects.

    Still luv Primal with all me heart and can't wait for that goddamn episode to show up. I wanna see Spear frick Mira.

          if that were the case, most people would be saying that instead of 100 variations of "where's spear" and "I dun geddit". and while the episode is pretty on the nose with the "man is primal stuff" it ties into the larger narrative theme of the main story which is about spear's constant inner struggle between his primitive instincts and his desire to be more civilized and accepted by others.

                I assume that one is saying how Spear and Fang's nature is hanging over them like a shadow. The episode shows that they're both unsuited for living among advanced people, but are also unable to simply abandon the humanity they have for unthinking wildness (Spear and the village, Fang and the maneater) . So they're fated to an existence alienated from both, probably only able to truly thrive with and understand each other

    The promo made it seem like "The Primal Theory" would be a shockfest episode compared to "The Red Mist." Like, I was anticipating graphic stuff that would push the limits of Standards & Practices (like rape or cannibalism), not an out-of-genre episode that wasn't as gory as the previous one.

    kek what the frick did he even mean by this? why would you assume this episode would have rape? of all the autistic shit

      She’s a Fang

      Oh, I just thought of something. You know how Genndy did some stuff with Hotel Transylvania? And in one of the movies, they have to disguise the human as a vampire so the sexy vampire girl’s (now technically a milf) grandfather wouldn’t go off his rocker, and his “disguise name” was something corny like “Count Jonafang”?

      Well, what if something like that, but with Fang? Since she’s already named “Fang”. (Just as a stupid sketch or something)

    You guys know you can like an episode and still consider it filler, right?
    >but muh themes!
    Themes that have been done over and over again in this series in much better ways, it’s just this time that you’ve picked up on it because you had it explained to you directly.
    >but muh *insert speculation or theory here* so therefore it’s moving the plot forward!
    None of the speculation or theories put forward by people that say they prove that Primal Theory isn’t filler have been confirmed. You can’t just slap a fan theory on something to say it’s not filler because of your fan theory.
    Primal theory is filler, it’s that simple, it’s enjoyable filler, but filler nonetheless

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      literally who is saying it isn't filler other than reddit autists? the only reasons the episode exists are because it ties into the main story's themes and because genndy was trying to gauge if people would like primal to become more of an episodic series eventually.

        I see people in these very threads say shit like “this is obviously implying the show is set in a post apocalyptic future” and some even say that theory is “confirmed” now, and “this is foreshadowing the Vikings going primal in the next episode” in order to claim it’s not filler.

      >filler
      I feel like the connotation for the word "filler" has changed to mean "episode that has no bearing on the overall plot and is ALSO shit", I'd say the most recent episode is a break from the action of the episode before it while reinforcing the central theme of the story, along with building tension for what will happen next to the Caveman Gang.

      I'm not entirely sure but I think it emphasizes how much spear and fang rely on each other. without spear's smarts, fang would have likely died by now but without fang's strength and size spear also likely would have died. I also like how much sea of despair emphasizes that feeling of alienation Spear feels. He's thrust into the open ocean and can barely find any food. just nothing but emptiness for miles. it mirrors how alone spear must feel since he's seemingly one of the last few of his kind and he's so different from the other hominids he encounters.
