They did that with the Terror S2, killing the franchise completely, and also with that pajeet Velma show that originally wasn't even going to be about Velma or Scooby Doo
Terror s2 only good part was when he went to war. That was almost Kino. The camp stuff was all shit. The supernatural stuff outside the war parts was also shit.
I would have watched a full show of the MC in the war with horror shenanigans.
>MC in the war with horror shenanigans
this.
his family in the camp should've been a c-plot at best with the main focus being him going to war in an attempt to prove what a true patriot he was while seeing all sorts of borderline paranormal horror shit and situations which test his loyalty to america and his family at home.
writing this had me remember all the crap of S2, holy shit i just can't believe how utterly shit it was frick
It's even worst than that.
It was supposed to use native chants as the opening and episode soundtrack. The execs asked for Bill Eyeliner and other songs popular with kids.
The supernatural was supposed to be toned down. The dancing ghost was supposed to be a dancing shadow seen through the snow, for example.
The CGIwas mandated and added. The 1st episode was supposed to begin with the discovery of a dead pile of frozen caribou and end with the discovery of the pile of frozen dead men.
Lots of scenes explaining tribal stuff and how the town works was removed before filming and replaced with sex/family drama scenes.
They refused to pay for long ranged shots and aerial shots of the town when on location, even when the weather conditions were good.
I am completely fine with the idea of a female perspective, problem is that modern writing is so dogshit and embarrassing that female perspective amounts to little else but "look at these girlbosses being girlbosses and the men being bumbling idiots, slaaay"
the new true detective is going full paranormal. anyone for the over-under on getting some monologue about how aboriginal "ways of knowing" will be crucial to solving the case? Ugh
A piece of media is good or bad. There can be many factors that contribute to it being good or bad, but you cant just say "well it has more x so you have to like !"
Its bad. People want good things. S1 had things that people didn't like but was overall good. This has things that people should in theory like but its overall bad. Make it good and people will like it.
I have no issue with the word itself, but it’s intentional use as an insult immediately marks the user as someone who has never been an organic part of Cinemaphile culture and never will.

>people complaining how it wasn't paranormal and lovecraftian enough
only morons said this, and now they're getting exactly what they wanted. and lo and behold, it's terrible.
Sam Tuttle drugged the locals and manipulated the mythology of the local Santeria and voudon beliefs to create his carcossa cult in the 60s. I'm guessing it's similar here, a corrupted native myth twisted to serve the cults goals which may just be bullshit sadistic power hungry sociopaths making shit up or might actually have some connection to a lovecraftian entity
What if Tuttle's beliefs were genuine? Maybe he really was a deranged fanatic demon worshipper and over generations his cult eventually diminished with time until the only people left to keep the traditions going were people like lawnmower man and the methheads
That seems to be the direction they're going with. Hastur the yellow king speaks the language of the elder things from mountains of madness, the ancient microorganism is a more scientifically based stand in for an "elder god" with some connection to the spiritual realm like midichlorians.

this show has the most red herrings of anything ive seen in a while. i presume this is because it was never meant to be a True Detective show, but they altered it and sprinkled in bullshit to make it believable as one. so many things lead nowhere.
The people who made the original have nothing to do with this. What part of some dumb Hispanic who only did soap operas being in charge of the show gave you any confidence that it would be good.
nah it's that archeovirus that makes the water bad, babies die and everyone hallucinate and go crazy.
It was releazed from the ice by the miners and global warming or some shit.
Calling it here waiting for the obvious deus ex machina to happen.
People will be pissed when they find out 90% of the show will be explained by "lol it was just a dream bro"
>People will be pissed when they find out 90% of the show will be explained by "lol it was just a dream bro"
just proof TD has the worst fandom because there’s been so much autistic b***hing about the supernatural elements of the show and they’ll still be mad when that turns out not to be the case

Not happening. Showrunner has basically said that this season was going to be explicitly supernatural shit and admitted that she was one of the folk who watched season one and got pissy that the supernatural shit got downplayed at the end of season one.
>nah it's that archeovirus that makes the water bad, babies die and everyone hallucinate and go crazy.
Yeah, definitely possible.
>We released "her"
The scientists have personalized the bacteria that they have been working with, because they're weirdos who do nothing but talk about their work with each other all day for years.
Pretty sure there was an X-Files episode almost exactly like this.

>ew those mansplaining hecking macho m*n in s1 give me the ICK! >btw here's a bunch of S1 memberberries in my totally original show tee-hee
WOMEN ARE STUP AND I DON'T RESPECT THEM
THAT'S RIGHT, I JUST HAVE SEX WITH THEM
Women and PoC don’t contribute shit in real life. They’re not the ones charging into burning buildings, storming Islamist machine gun nests, stringing high-tension power lines or putting down prison riots.
Yet almost every single media product portrays them as better than men (white men in particular) in almost every respect.
Society fails when white men join women and PoC in saying “I don’t want to do that” and yet we are endlessly mocked and sidelined, and are supposed to just take it on the jaw.
You’re damn right having women and PoC front and centre makes it bad. Not as an individual product but as yet another page in the globalist neo-Marxist gospel of ‘white men are what is wrong with the world’. And Cinemaphile is one of the lst places left where we can say stuff like this out loud, so if you don’t like it, you can frick off.
you forget, white people need "racism is never okay" or they're going to kill each other because they're not ACTUALLY white.
T. the southern white is a different species than the northern white.
The CGI boat was the worst so far. Looked like some 90s Sierra PC game graphics lol
There's a lot of good ideas and themes in the show. None of them are handled in a good way.
Lots of important info aren't even given in the show. Like the Kakiniik tats. They didn't even talk about what they mean, how they were illegal during decades, etc.
The show is just surface level on fricking every idea and theme it introduces. Like the culture dying out. they say it's the last birthing house left. That's it. That"s all they say. But they spend so much time on fricking boring drama. A kid was born. A kid died (theme). Let Prior spend 5 seconds with his kid (theme appropriate) and 10 minutes talking to his wife about Danvers, his job, jealousy, nurse studies and trivial shit.
wtf?
>records a video of herself panicking >"if you ever find this im dead" >doesn't elaborate any further >disappears from the screen >shrieks non-stop
frick this season, hoping for massive fallout with tons of normies shitting on it
they at least could've written her to say some cryptic clue that would lead them to a suspect or somebody who might know more, or some place they could investigate. something along the lines like >i've found out this and that, and now they're trying to silence m-ACK! >they're doing bad stuff here, suspect guy knows about this, they want to hide the tr-ACK! >soilent green is peop-ACK! >the force is fem-ACK!
instead of the generic ass blair witch nonsense
The worst part is that it all shows that the writers don’t understand how to build suspense. An accumulation of creepy unexplainable over time builds suspense; the last episode literally was “weird shit is happening but we’re not going to tell you what’s causing it even though we have the means and opportunity to do so.”
It’s frustrating and irritating rather than mysterious and engaging.
>finding her phone >she doesn't die with it so theres not even the excuse they didn't check the corpse pocket or something >don't destroy it, but instead place it with the rest of the incriminating evidence
what DID they mean by this
they found it in her and schizo's cuck shed with all sorts of effigies dedicated to her, so it's safe to assume he had something to do with her murder or managed to get her phone in some other way
>generic nazi and satanic tattoos
but anon, this is exactly how those white trash inbred wiggers look like for real. especially if they've been in prison and are part of a gang, which are most likely some sort of white supremacists.
also reggie is a bit of an infantile mentally deficient specimen, one that boasts to his cellmate and other peers how he likes to rape kids and that he knows about a place where people are being murdered en masse etc, so him getting all kinds of low IQ tattoos that show the world just how wicked he is isn't too far fetched
This is like a studio releasing a new Batman film but the protagonist's name is Bill Wayne, his parents are alive, he only fights crime in a pink flamingo suit (approximately 5% of screentime) and the rest of it focuses on the lives and relationship drama of staff at Wayne manor.
>"bury a friend" by Billie Eilish starts playing
The best part
Also, do deaf people even care about music playing? Pretty pointless to tell them there's music at all
Shit, you're right.
Now I feel bad for them, being told to look up the lyrics of shitty songs when they're watching something, as if being deaf wasn't bad enough
Jodie really sold being scared shitless there. But the transition to Billie Eilish's shitty as hell "song" might be the worst 5 seconds of television I've ever seen.
The show overall is garbage outside if Jodie doing her usual fantastic job, but that scene of the screaming “corpsicle” was genuinely unnerving to me. It got me almost as bad as the scene from Se7en.
Can someone explain why it says "based on the series True Detective" in the opening titles when it's still called True Detective. Were they originally gonna drop the True Detective title or something?
She had written some piece of shit story before hbo had contacted her to do the show so she just repurposed what she already had into a season of "true detective" through using a bunch of ham fisted terrible s1 references and retcons

Are they going to explain this or just handwave it? like he has some of the parasite that causes him to go into some kind of hibernative state? Otherwise he's just able to survive in submerged in arctic ice for 40 hours.
Yeah this show is getting even more gay than I thought possible at the start of the season. What the frick is even happening? 90 percent of each ep is just people having homosexual little poorly written conversations unimportant to the case. I think the moron lady behind the season knew she had a big pile of shit and tried to jam a bunch of twin peaks and season 1 fan service tier references into every other scene to try and trick the reddit fans into thinking they're enjoying it
>Fortitude
haven't seen it but it's safe to assume night country would be a lesser version of it, or similar shows about spoopy murder mysteries that take place in the arctic circle. thanks to the TD brand this shit got way more exposure than it deserved
oh, well yeah i guess they'll be stealing some elements here and there, be it fortitude, the thing, x-files, wind river, TD season 1 etc.
but my semi-related point still stands: it would've been and maybe in the end will be a lesser version of whatever it copies from

>Fortitude

Fortitude was convoluted, unwatchable and up its own ass. I turned it off after 5 minutes and read the synopses, couldn't make heads or tails out of what I read. NC seems much better in its presentation and themes.
Fortitude had a neat premise with the thawed out and hatched wasps, however the characters are mostly shit, and being a britbong show it's even more self-pandering to "modern audiences". I don't even understand why they thought two more seasons would be a good thing.
R*ddit update: basically the entire TD sub has decided the season is shit and is openly mocking it, and a bunch of mirin’s moved to a different sub where you aren’t allowed to criticize s4
so it's safe to say the majority of 'tors hates this?
Are there really 60 year old nymphomaniac prostitutes on tinder in the middle of Alaska?
why of course, it's full of latinx landwhales, Black folk, dykes and southern rednecks, they're all also preoccupied with issues that a californian goes through on a daily basis as well
Pizza is seething about this shit as if he was some genius or something. Season 1 was a success because of Matt and Woody's acting and Fukunaga. His writing is the weakest link. Season 2 and 3 are mediocre. He hasn't done anything else.
frick no. it's bad enough they're trying to tie it so hard to s1, even pizaalatto had the balls and enough dignity not to do that. this extended universe shit is childish and sign of hack writers
how many times are we gonna see this set up >in the middle of detective work >phone rings >chief you gotta come quick <strange supernatural thing> has happened
Those scientists found something deep in the water beneath the ice. I think they took Submarine down beneath the ice tunnel and saw something that scared them to death. It explains the ruptured ear drums from pressure
worse, they're going for the yella king and tuttle connection from season one, but this time it's really supernatural and not just rust's drug fried mind seeing shit
How I would save this piece of shit >turns out the supernatural stuff is real >The Witch is 1500 feet tall, she breaks out of the ice and steps on and crushes the nigra cop to bits >Jodie calls for back-up, and starts blasting at the Witch with a rocket launcher >The US military shows up, with Rust at the helm >"¿Did somebody call 9-1-True Detective?" >cuts to the Pentagon, the nerve of the free world >a 5 star General is watching it all unfold on a giant tv screen while on the phone >"Mr President...it's time"
That's all I have so far, bros
End-credits cutscene where Danvers and Navarro are approached by Rust to join the CIA's True Detective Unit. Last line is Rust saying "There's a storm coming" and a cut to lightning flaring over the Tuttle mansion near Washington DC
red herring, probably an accomplice to a cover-up of annie's murder or something along the lines.
my bet is on this guy who anons noticed in the first episode. i guess whenever an already introduced character gets more screentime in the next few episodes will also be revealed to be the killer in the final episode. they've done similar things in the other seasons
><The Spiral> is older than Ennis, it's older than the ice
WHAT THE FRICK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN. THE ICE HAS BEEN THERE FOR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS
You telling me this old white lady who moved in from california is now part of some kind of ancient protector/secret keeper lineage passed down from generation to generation since the cro magnon shaman days and she just lore dropped that some fricking spiral is, in a Tolkienesque/Tom Bombadil sense part of the primordial void or some shit?
>Schitzo sister looks out at ice and says "it's all the ocean" >Geology teacher talking about earths liquid outer core
The spiral is some kind of ancient sea creature from the deepest depths of the north that was frozen over millions of years ago. It's a Giant spiral shaped starfish leviathan with a barely alive telepathic presence
>Aginaeux
Suspiciously French last name. Louisiana connection? Same with Blair franchette the 3 fingered crab lady that got flustered when she saw the spiral
>season is halfway-over >they keep adding mystery bullshit >cops have absolutely nothing
If the next episode doesn't solve at least one of them things I won't bother with the rest
I hope they assassins creed this shit to make incels seethe. Every season after this just takes place in some post-colonial town where the indigenous people make their grievances against whites known >season 5: Hawaii >season 6: India >season 7: south africa
There were three sex scenes on season 1, right? >Marty and booba >Marty and young bawd >Rusty and Marty's lawn
We've had two so far, I hope the last one is Jodie taking it up the ass.
yeah wtf... is the gay black eskimo halucinating or did he really just say that shit?
Also could this season BE any more of a GUUURRRLL power plot?
I literally rolled my eyes when Navarro was going to arrest the midwife, and then she goes, "arrest me after I help deliver this baby, Queen." And then we watch a bunch of women give a baby minor braindamage, because they don't know what they're doing.
It's crazy what tiny little thing can set her off >how do you like your coffee >two cream two sugar please >What's wrong white boy? you don't like em black?
Does Max keep metrics of the moment people turn off a series?
Would they notice if I watched this and turned it off at the first white people part?
Did that with Velma btw and didn't make 60 seconds
So the black cop larping as a native threatens to murder the police officer and then his "chief" assaults him by throwing hot coffee in his face ...and we're supposed to side with these people? We're supposed to believe both wouldn't be in deep shit for this?
dude deserved worse for being an utterly incompetent and all around useless c**t that gets catfished by saars pretending to be russian prostitutes from vladivostok. tho in all honesty he's probably in on annie's murder conspiracy and does the moronic shit on purpose

The one cringe line in S1 for me was: >what's scented meat?
It worked in the first instance of Mary being too dumb to understand Rust ("I don't wanna hear you say you smell a psycho's fear or whatever," instead of "psychosphere," but mistaking sentient meat for "scented meat" was pretty moronic.

>you were supposed to realize this guy was whistling Twist and Shout here and come to the conclusion that's why Danvers hates the song

nah pretty sure it's got something to do with her son's death or something similarly traumatic involving her former family. song is also played during a flashback when shes playing with her kid and i guess she's imagining the wifebeater whistling it which leads to her going off and popping his head.

>racial essentialism, nativism, and segregation

magic is not real tho
They did that with the Terror S2, killing the franchise completely, and also with that pajeet Velma show that originally wasn't even going to be about Velma or Scooby Doo
Terror s2 only good part was when he went to war. That was almost Kino. The camp stuff was all shit. The supernatural stuff outside the war parts was also shit.

Why.
cause non-whites all got along and never conquered each other right?
No
A piece of media is good or bad. There can be many factors that contribute to it being good or bad, but you cant just say "well it has more x so you have to like !"
Its bad. People want good things. S1 had things that people didn't like but was overall good. This has things that people should in theory like but its overall bad. Make it good and people will like it.
>wtf do chuds want
People who use ‘chud’ unironically to frick back off to bunkerchan and troon discord permanently.
It's strange how you people wildly fluctuate between "I take it as a compliment" and legitimate grievance at the word.
Sometimes even the same person.
I have no issue with the word itself, but it’s intentional use as an insult immediately marks the user as someone who has never been an organic part of Cinemaphile culture and never will.
Anon, I feel the same way basedfaces, but they've been forced all the same.
Often by the people being called chud.
I miss when memes often made fun of oneself, now all memes are attack memes about how stinky other guy is, and they were all made on reddit.
I thought 90% of all chud usages is ironic and everybody knew that
>people complaining how it wasn't paranormal and lovecraftian enough
only morons said this, and now they're getting exactly what they wanted. and lo and behold, it's terrible.
>the new true detective is going full paranormal.
imagine being this gullible
Ill give you an over-under if you take my meaning
Sam Tuttle drugged the locals and manipulated the mythology of the local Santeria and voudon beliefs to create his carcossa cult in the 60s. I'm guessing it's similar here, a corrupted native myth twisted to serve the cults goals which may just be bullshit sadistic power hungry sociopaths making shit up or might actually have some connection to a lovecraftian entity
What if Tuttle's beliefs were genuine? Maybe he really was a deranged fanatic demon worshipper and over generations his cult eventually diminished with time until the only people left to keep the traditions going were people like lawnmower man and the methheads
That seems to be the direction they're going with. Hastur the yellow king speaks the language of the elder things from mountains of madness, the ancient microorganism is a more scientifically based stand in for an "elder god" with some connection to the spiritual realm like midichlorians.
>actually thinking they put any thought into these S1 references.
Why bring back Tuttle at all then?
Because HBO wanted it to be part of the True Detective branding and she had to put references to it in there.
don't forget they wrote in rust's old man in form of an interpretive dancing ghost
Well at least he's not a black rapper
this show has the most red herrings of anything ive seen in a while. i presume this is because it was never meant to be a True Detective show, but they altered it and sprinkled in bullshit to make it believable as one. so many things lead nowhere.
What if Tuttle was right?
Then how embarrassing it must be for both him and his deity that only incestuous drug addicts still keep things going
>he doesn't know
Fricking children, torture and rape leads to superpowers and a chill ass afterlife?
>cookie monster voice
Subtlety kind of went out the window, huh?
>implying there was any to begin with
it wasn't fricking Goosebumps either
The people who made the original have nothing to do with this. What part of some dumb Hispanic who only did soap operas being in charge of the show gave you any confidence that it would be good.
I’ve notice one subtlety in the entire show. The nigs nose piercing switches sides when she hallucinates.
nice try but i am NOT rewatching the episodes to spot when this happens
They zombies now?!!?
Does no one realize this scene was her having a mentally ill episode akin to her sister and mother?
nah it's that archeovirus that makes the water bad, babies die and everyone hallucinate and go crazy.
It was releazed from the ice by the miners and global warming or some shit.
Calling it here waiting for the obvious deus ex machina to happen.
People will be pissed when they find out 90% of the show will be explained by "lol it was just a dream bro"
>People will be pissed when they find out 90% of the show will be explained by "lol it was just a dream bro"
just proof TD has the worst fandom because there’s been so much autistic b***hing about the supernatural elements of the show and they’ll still be mad when that turns out not to be the case
The way they chose to display supernatural elements is what is cringe. Most notably the interpretive dance ghost.
Anyone got the webm of that?
If everyone is just hallucinating the show is irredeemable garbage.
It was never supernatural those people are morons. He just did a bunch of acid and shit. He literally explains it.
Half the fun of S1 was trying to figure out if there is some supernatural element or a cult that believes in the supernatural.
No, 90% of the show is mind-numbingly boring relationship drama for a load of shitty characters who are unlikable c**ts. The thin layer of mystery is sub 5% of screen time.
Not happening. Showrunner has basically said that this season was going to be explicitly supernatural shit and admitted that she was one of the folk who watched season one and got pissy that the supernatural shit got downplayed at the end of season one.
>nah it's that archeovirus that makes the water bad, babies die and everyone hallucinate and go crazy.
Yeah, definitely possible.
>We released "her"
The scientists have personalized the bacteria that they have been working with, because they're weirdos who do nothing but talk about their work with each other all day for years.
Pretty sure there was an X-Files episode almost exactly like this.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_(The_X-Files)
If this is the plot, I'm gonna write a letter to FOX telling them to sue HBO.
clearly demonic possession of the patient
>people see dead people a million times already
>no, hallucinating a dead guy talking about her mother is too far!
This. It's obvious everything Nevarro saw this episode was her going schizo too.
Doesn't excuse the show being 80% pointless relationship drama and "Muh natives" though.
No it wasn’t. Nose piercing didn’t switch.
No matter what the show does or doesn't do, the fact that there's women and PoC front and center will make it bad in the eyes of Cinemaphile.
Maybe if any single project that fit that bill made in the past twenty years WASN'T bad, I wouldn't immediately assume the worst.
The show runner called season 1 an example of sweaty masculinity.
I'm here to watch it burn down to the ground!
>ew those mansplaining hecking macho m*n in s1 give me the ICK!
>btw here's a bunch of S1 memberberries in my totally original show tee-hee

She's cured!
>the fact that there's women and PoC front and center will make it bad
ftfy
> women and PoC front and center will make it bad in the eyes of Cinemaphile
Now name one of those that is objectively good. I’ll wait.
Firefly
DS9
Yep. Do something about it.
Women and PoC don’t contribute shit in real life. They’re not the ones charging into burning buildings, storming Islamist machine gun nests, stringing high-tension power lines or putting down prison riots.
Yet almost every single media product portrays them as better than men (white men in particular) in almost every respect.
Society fails when white men join women and PoC in saying “I don’t want to do that” and yet we are endlessly mocked and sidelined, and are supposed to just take it on the jaw.
You’re damn right having women and PoC front and centre makes it bad. Not as an individual product but as yet another page in the globalist neo-Marxist gospel of ‘white men are what is wrong with the world’. And Cinemaphile is one of the lst places left where we can say stuff like this out loud, so if you don’t like it, you can frick off.
you forget, white people need "racism is never okay" or they're going to kill each other because they're not ACTUALLY white.
T. the southern white is a different species than the northern white.
Yes.
Yeah I'm not gonna watch it sorry
>contacts? what for! we'll just cgi that shit!
I'm so sick of these clowns.
The CGI boat was the worst so far. Looked like some 90s Sierra PC game graphics lol
There's a lot of good ideas and themes in the show. None of them are handled in a good way.
Lots of important info aren't even given in the show. Like the Kakiniik tats. They didn't even talk about what they mean, how they were illegal during decades, etc.
The show is just surface level on fricking every idea and theme it introduces. Like the culture dying out. they say it's the last birthing house left. That's it. That"s all they say. But they spend so much time on fricking boring drama. A kid was born. A kid died (theme). Let Prior spend 5 seconds with his kid (theme appropriate) and 10 minutes talking to his wife about Danvers, his job, jealousy, nurse studies and trivial shit.
wtf?
>There's a lot of good ideas and themes in the show. None of them are handled in a good way.
Same can be said about Season 1
>its blair witch project
oh boy
>records a video of herself panicking
>"if you ever find this im dead"
>doesn't elaborate any further
>disappears from the screen
>shrieks non-stop
frick this season, hoping for massive fallout with tons of normies shitting on it
Yeah that would have been a great time to film the killer but nope just get one last selfy.
Woman moment.
Literally the meme of women turning every photo or video into a selfie.
they at least could've written her to say some cryptic clue that would lead them to a suspect or somebody who might know more, or some place they could investigate. something along the lines like
>i've found out this and that, and now they're trying to silence m-ACK!
>they're doing bad stuff here, suspect guy knows about this, they want to hide the tr-ACK!
>soilent green is peop-ACK!
>the force is fem-ACK!
instead of the generic ass blair witch nonsense
The worst part is that it all shows that the writers don’t understand how to build suspense. An accumulation of creepy unexplainable over time builds suspense; the last episode literally was “weird shit is happening but we’re not going to tell you what’s causing it even though we have the means and opportunity to do so.”
It’s frustrating and irritating rather than mysterious and engaging.
>oh my god I’m being attacked (scream for three minutes)
>”She’s coming” “who’s coming?” ”She’s coming” “who’s coming?” ”She’s coming” “who’s coming?” ”She’s coming” “who’s coming?” ”She’s coming” “who’s coming?” ”She’s coming” “who’s coming?”
This isn’t a ‘mystery’ show, it’s a sandpaper handjob.
>This isn’t a ‘mystery’ show, it’s a sandpaper handjob.
Call NASA, my sides have left orbit.
>This isn’t a ‘mystery’ show, it’s a sandpaper handjob.

The only way this can be excused in-universe is if she was the villain and set everything up Agatha Christie style.
>I GO TO HONG KONG, FAR FROM COHLE'S JURISDICTION
>finding her phone
>she doesn't die with it so theres not even the excuse they didn't check the corpse pocket or something
>don't destroy it, but instead place it with the rest of the incriminating evidence
what DID they mean by this
Because the schizo killed her. Didn't they find the phone in his cuck shed?
they found it in her and schizo's cuck shed with all sorts of effigies dedicated to her, so it's safe to assume he had something to do with her murder or managed to get her phone in some other way
I mean, I love S1, but the evil dude with the nazi and 666 tattoos was equally as ridiculous.
>I mean, I love S1, but the evil dude with the nazi and 666 tattoos was equally as ridiculous.
Not. An. Argument.
Considering the shit people put on their bodies nowadays, those tattoos were tame
That’s really not that ridiculous. People like that get crazy tattoos, they’re a different breed than Cinemaphile nazis who are against tattoos.
Not even slightly. That's literally what those losers look like.
>how do we make this guy look REALLY evil??
>we give him generic nazi and satanic tattoos!!
great season, stupid moment.
>generic nazi and satanic tattoos
but anon, this is exactly how those white trash inbred wiggers look like for real. especially if they've been in prison and are part of a gang, which are most likely some sort of white supremacists.
also reggie is a bit of an infantile mentally deficient specimen, one that boasts to his cellmate and other peers how he likes to rape kids and that he knows about a place where people are being murdered en masse etc, so him getting all kinds of low IQ tattoos that show the world just how wicked he is isn't too far fetched
Its still plausibly not supernatural as of yet
>Shit is turing into american horror story
Yeah they let you know is immediately by copying their intro style
This is like a studio releasing a new Batman film but the protagonist's name is Bill Wayne, his parents are alive, he only fights crime in a pink flamingo suit (approximately 5% of screentime) and the rest of it focuses on the lives and relationship drama of staff at Wayne manor.
>I Follow Rivers all of the sudden

>"bury a friend" by Billie Eilish starts playing
The best part
Also, do deaf people even care about music playing? Pretty pointless to tell them there's music at all
They can look up the lyrics
Shit, you're right.
Now I feel bad for them, being told to look up the lyrics of shitty songs when they're watching something, as if being deaf wasn't bad enough
how do we go from a classic like dusty mason to billie irish
If the subs are done right, the lyrics should appear on screen. Otherwise it's more of a "frick you, I ain't doing my job" kinda deal.
Holy shit what were they thinking?
Jodie really sold being scared shitless there. But the transition to Billie Eilish's shitty as hell "song" might be the worst 5 seconds of television I've ever seen.
>rips off your arm like it's nothing
>not even suspended
Fricking pigs
those fricking unprofessional WHITE MALE cops!
Ripping off Se7en, and not even doing it well. That Billie Eilish punchline is also superb comedy value.
They just had to ripoff the thing didn't they
>"bury a friend" by Billie Eilish starts playing
Truly horrifying.
>billie eilish starts playing
they've massacred my boy
>HAHA DUR THING LIKE THE MOOBIE!
Jesus. How stupid do they think we are?
The show overall is garbage outside if Jodie doing her usual fantastic job, but that scene of the screaming “corpsicle” was genuinely unnerving to me. It got me almost as bad as the scene from Se7en.
The scene from Seven had me go "oh shit!!".
The scene from TD:NC had me go "oh".
It's the chems in the water caused by mining.
Can someone explain why it says "based on the series True Detective" in the opening titles when it's still called True Detective. Were they originally gonna drop the True Detective title or something?
Pizzaman asked for that I bet.
Because otherwise noone would watch it
She had written some piece of shit story before hbo had contacted her to do the show so she just repurposed what she already had into a season of "true detective" through using a bunch of ham fisted terrible s1 references and retcons

so is this icicle amputee the guy from the trailer or somebody else wearing annie's jacket?

Are they going to explain this or just handwave it? like he has some of the parasite that causes him to go into some kind of hibernative state? Otherwise he's just able to survive in submerged in arctic ice for 40 hours.
Yeah this show is getting even more gay than I thought possible at the start of the season. What the frick is even happening? 90 percent of each ep is just people having homosexual little poorly written conversations unimportant to the case. I think the moron lady behind the season knew she had a big pile of shit and tried to jam a bunch of twin peaks and season 1 fan service tier references into every other scene to try and trick the reddit fans into thinking they're enjoying it
Why can't she just be a kind and sharing person especially if they are all working a murder case together isn't sharing information important?
That is an ugly woman.
>puts down poor little white guy
Check. I think that's every episode so far.
>casual racism
Hey burgers, when will you sort your shit out?
never
I don't get why they left his the subplot of his gay tendecies unexplored, that guy was talking about hardcore gay sex all the time
Ronald was gonna call him a "homosexual" after all, right?
>I'm not going to say it
>I want you to know i'm thinking it
No, he was going to say The Game
listen here you little shit
theres a casual rape too nobody saying shit about that but here
i thought you guys liked racism here?
You must have us mistaken with a different bunch, sir.
its going to turn out that all the supernatural shit is just people tripping on LSD due to the water issues they keep alluding to
and we won't even get a hot ass big tity both girl witch this time either
Somehow the Infernal Plane came back.
Dark science, cloning, secrets only the Tuttles knew.
So basically the plot is the same as the one in Fortitude
>Fortitude
haven't seen it but it's safe to assume night country would be a lesser version of it, or similar shows about spoopy murder mysteries that take place in the arctic circle. thanks to the TD brand this shit got way more exposure than it deserved
No I mean ... In Fortitude they literally dig out some ancient curse/virus thing out of the snow and it slowly makes the town go crazy.
oh, well yeah i guess they'll be stealing some elements here and there, be it fortitude, the thing, x-files, wind river, TD season 1 etc.
but my semi-related point still stands: it would've been and maybe in the end will be a lesser version of whatever it copies from

Fortitude was convoluted, unwatchable and up its own ass. I turned it off after 5 minutes and read the synopses, couldn't make heads or tails out of what I read. NC seems much better in its presentation and themes.
how's life with 82 IQ?
Fortitude had a neat premise with the thawed out and hatched wasps, however the characters are mostly shit, and being a britbong show it's even more self-pandering to "modern audiences". I don't even understand why they thought two more seasons would be a good thing.
R*ddit update: basically the entire TD sub has decided the season is shit and is openly mocking it, and a bunch of mirin’s moved to a different sub where you aren’t allowed to criticize s4
so it's safe to say the majority of 'tors hates this?
why of course, it's full of latinx landwhales, Black folk, dykes and southern rednecks, they're all also preoccupied with issues that a californian goes through on a daily basis as well
Are there really 60 year old nymphomaniac prostitutes on tinder in the middle of Alaska?
maybe but everyone in the town is gonna know they're on Tinder
>ripping off Mike's half-measures story almost verbatim
How would you feel if he shows up? Would it change your opinion on the show?
No but it would change the opinion of McConaughey
Nic Pizzatime said he won't show up though
Pizza is seething about this shit as if he was some genius or something. Season 1 was a success because of Matt and Woody's acting and Fukunaga. His writing is the weakest link. Season 2 and 3 are mediocre. He hasn't done anything else.

>in the middle of detective work
>phone rings

Writing for dummies tier trope. "never reveal too much at once, always interrupt a clue with something to distract"
The constant use of smartphones in this show is indicative of the female brainrot. It's all they know, so they constantly show it.
i wonder whether they'll do an action sequence in an episode halfway through the season as they did all the times before with the shootouts and stuff
Episode 4 is the shoutout episode. GET FRICKING HYPED JODIECHADS
pretty sure they won't do that, in order to subvert expectations
Those scientists found something deep in the water beneath the ice. I think they took Submarine down beneath the ice tunnel and saw something that scared them to death. It explains the ruptured ear drums from pressure
They delved too greedily and too deep
Is it going to be another lazy plot that pulls the Cthulu card?
worse, they're going for the yella king and tuttle connection from season one, but this time it's really supernatural and not just rust's drug fried mind seeing shit
So this shit is seriously only gonna be six episodes? You mean I'm halfway done and there's still nothing to hold onto? What a fricking gyp.
Seethe, chuds. You'll never have a girlfriend.
A bartender said I was cute and gave me a free drink on Saturday so I don't need a girlfriend, I have enough affirmation for a few months at least

That's all I have so far, bros
End-credits cutscene where Danvers and Navarro are approached by Rust to join the CIA's True Detective Unit. Last line is Rust saying "There's a storm coming" and a cut to lightning flaring over the Tuttle mansion near Washington DC
I like it, but Navarro was destroyed by The Witch. We'll have to talk about it.
Navarro's physical form was destroyed but she still exists in the psychosphere, like a deep cover op
I like it, I like it. Come to my hotel room tonight, we'll delve into it, have some wine, and get to really talk about this.
bros am I smart for figuring out this guy is up to something
He'll end up redeeming himself. Or it'll turn out he was always good. Just wait
yes
>mmm
What did he mean by this?
If only we could see what he saw it might illuminate the situation.
red herring, probably an accomplice to a cover-up of annie's murder or something along the lines.
my bet is on this guy who anons noticed in the first episode. i guess whenever an already introduced character gets more screentime in the next few episodes will also be revealed to be the killer in the final episode. they've done similar things in the other seasons
>You can’t trust Solomon Starr

><The Spiral> is older than Ennis, it's older than the ice
WHAT THE FRICK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN. THE ICE HAS BEEN THERE FOR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS
You telling me this old white lady who moved in from california is now part of some kind of ancient protector/secret keeper lineage passed down from generation to generation since the cro magnon shaman days and she just lore dropped that some fricking spiral is, in a Tolkienesque/Tom Bombadil sense part of the primordial void or some shit?
it's gaia waking up to protect her people against white garbage non-sorter
>Schitzo sister looks out at ice and says "it's all the ocean"
>Geology teacher talking about earths liquid outer core
The spiral is some kind of ancient sea creature from the deepest depths of the north that was frozen over millions of years ago. It's a Giant spiral shaped starfish leviathan with a barely alive telepathic presence

uh, sweaty. This show is not getting any more seasons after this poor showing.
this, it'll be always connected to memes similar to this

There were three sex scenes on season 1, right?
>Marty and booba

yeah wtf... is the gay black eskimo halucinating or did he really just say that shit?
Also could this season BE any more of a GUUURRRLL power plot?
I literally rolled my eyes when Navarro was going to arrest the midwife, and then she goes, "arrest me after I help deliver this baby, Queen." And then we watch a bunch of women give a baby minor braindamage, because they don't know what they're doing.
Fricking gigacringe.

Navarro and Jodi Foster also clearly fricked, you dumbass

She's a crypto. I'd put 10 shekels on it.
that's a waste of 15 shekels

Does Max keep metrics of the moment people turn off a series?
Would they notice if I watched this and turned it off at the first white people part?
Did that with Velma btw and didn't make 60 seconds
Guaranteed they do. Whether they interpret the data correctly is the right question.
So the black cop larping as a native threatens to murder the police officer and then his "chief" assaults him by throwing hot coffee in his face ...and we're supposed to side with these people? We're supposed to believe both wouldn't be in deep shit for this?
dude deserved worse for being an utterly incompetent and all around useless c**t that gets catfished by saars pretending to be russian prostitutes from vladivostok. tho in all honesty he's probably in on annie's murder conspiracy and does the moronic shit on purpose
None of that justifies what they did on little to no evidence.
I didn't even know there was a 4th season of True Detective out. I checked out after those horrible 2nd and 3rd seasons like everyone else

season 4 writers took decolonized english lit (no shakespeare, focuses on valid micronarratives of diverse marginalized writers) and intersectional critical race theory
Don't forget the poetry and images of Arianna grande and Billie Eilish lyrics

and the Beatles and the Beach Boys. everything has been girl music.
You've been mindfricked by American style "culture wars"
I'm the least mindfricked by culture war in this entire fricking board
Every time you complain about American politics remember that you're on an American website talking about an American show. DEI policy is a real thing here. So is decolonizing your syllabus. My country could still nuke yours out of orbit. Go frick yourself.
this was pretty bad dialogue, but tbh rewatching season one, and McCanahey has some pretty cringe dialogue as well.
The one cringe line in S1 for me was:
>what's scented meat?
It worked in the first instance of Mary being too dumb to understand Rust ("I don't wanna hear you say you smell a psycho's fear or whatever," instead of "psychosphere," but mistaking sentient meat for "scented meat" was pretty moronic.
When this scene occurred I asked myself, out loud,in my empty apartment, “why the frick am I watching this”.
>why the frick am I watching this
so you can comfily shitpost on here with your bros
>Twist and Shout
nah pretty sure it's got something to do with her son's death or something similarly traumatic involving her former family. song is also played during a flashback when shes playing with her kid and i guess she's imagining the wifebeater whistling it which leads to her going off and popping his head.
> i guess she's imagining the wifebeater whistling it which leads to her going off and popping his head.
I hate that the writers set it up so that everything can be explained by schizophrenic hallucination now.
this woman unironically has an IQ of ~80
her family's gotta be rich or something, no way she'd "made it" in the biz otherwise
Link this, I refuse to believe it's true
this is the real one, but honestly it's just as moronic
ChatGPT wrote season 4 and all the weird shit are just AI hallucinations
Then when this is found out she'll go back to "Exactly! We wrote a show using AI to show people how bad AI is"
I'm fully convinced that the Netflix Resident Evil show was written by AI and wouldn't be surprised if this show was, too. You can tell by the meandering nature of it.
>I'm fully convinced that the Netflix Resident Evil show was written by AI
Please don't insult AI like that
>oh boy, we sure haaaate that one tool!
>but yeah, we DID use it though
>we also fricking hate boomers, btw!
>loser Metal festival for boomers
Jesus christ, how can you stuff so many divisive things into one tweet? She's pitting old people against young people here for no reason, while simultaneously dissing people for their music taste and adding in some stuff about AI. Everything's about splitting this country apart by identity for this people
>I wish boomers would all die off so we can get this progressive bill passed in the senate already
>Metal concerts are filled with neonazis
>country concerts are all filled with racist rednecks
>AI techbros are privileged stem educated straight white males and white adjacents (aka asians and israelites)
anything else?
Best thing is, this b***h is from '71. Technically not a baby boomer but still pretty old and trying to be hip by speaking like kids did some 3-4 years ago. b***h is not aware of what she's doing.
It's all so tiring.
i have never known a male to like the Beatles you silly dialog changer you
Did she really just spoil her own series on fricking twitter?
>It was discussed. Ad nauseam.
Bitch, why u lying?
>Person first language at all times...
>White colonizers...
Are they consciously breaking their own rules to deperson, or doing it from neglect?
ALAN WAKE
Yeah, I came here after this scene. It’s officially season 2. It’s over.
(Deep gurgling throat singing)
>NO YOUR REAL NAME
>but that is my real name
>YOUR REAL ANCESTRAL NAME NOT YOUR WHITE SLAVE NAME
>YOU WILL NEVER BE A REAL AMERICAN YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A BROWN SKINNED INJUN
Does it ever bother people that the political spectrum is topologically a circle and that woke leftism wraps around to become racial essentialism, nativism, and segregation? Black supremacists pretty much agree with southern neonazis on many things at this point
this guys whole demeanor was like both detectives walked in and let rip the gnarliest of farts, and i dont just casually say that.
>racial essentialism, nativism, and segregation
as if they give it any more thought than they feel is necessary. it's wypipo fault no matter what. it being confusing and segregative as shit is just another conflict point to have whites and *-Black folk go at each others throaths instead of going against the real culprit
>It's okay when men do it
I don't understand why we're 3 episodes into a 6 season series and they're spinning their tires
its only 6 episodes? damn they didnt get very far with the story
five episodes will be full of californesque personal dramas sprinkled with generic horror slop, final episode will do some asspull a la
>you all were comlicit in all those murders, white people
the paranormal stuff being imaginations stemming from a culture of oppression and exploitation
Seriously, why is this fricking six episodes? Can't even match the length of the prior seasons, nevermind the quality.
The sooner it ends, the better
100% this is a (relatively) low budget project for HBO and they're saving anything action heavy for the final episode to cut costs
You see it's all about the black box and the bomb that never explodes. what do you mean by "black box" white boy?
>you were supposed to realize this guy was whistling Twist and Shout here and come to the conclusion that's why Danvers hates the song
if i hear one more fricking beatles song by god...
I had a beatnik chemistry teacher in hs and he played them nonstop during exams.
oh i mad
Why do you sign all your screencaps with a red dot in the middle, anon?
Stop noticing things fricker. Also that red dot is older than Cinemaphile, older than the dinosaurs even.
>it was here before you were born, and it will be here after you die
Progress won. Chuds lost.
Everything we've ever done or will do, we're gonna do over and over and over again.
yeah, like me doing your mum
including giving that fat woman^^^^ her flowers wtf ever that is
Apologize.
i dont have to. i enjoyed Season 3 except for the dumb sarah gordon parts.
It's G*don, please. Don't give you-know-who a hard-on.
Season 3 isn't bad. If season 1 never existed and season 3 existed as a standalone product, people would really love it. The problem is that it's a carbon copy of season 1 and does basically everything worse.
Season 3 should have been set somewhere else just for variety, like in the PNW or Midwest or somewhere like that. Arkansas and Louisiana have too much overlap
Season 3 should've been set in Alaska while season 4 should've been set in a dumpster.
>PNW
this or northern great plains
rural as shit, hills, mountains, forests. ripe for mysterious disappearances that could be implied to be the fault of some supernatural shit but it's actually that weird hick bob and his inbred family that lives off grid
will he make a good blade? I actually like Ali but he's played a timid house Black for so long I can't see him in a scene like picrel
>>will he make a good blade?
Who knows if the movie will ever get made, it's been in development hell for years and there have been like 4 rewrites
Alita Battle Angel was kind of a preview of what he'd be like as blade.
t. actually thought it was CG Wesley Snipes when I saw thumbnails of the trailers
Why does everywhere you type True Detective it uses this artwork.
it was the most recent season for the longest time, most databases still have it saved as the banner, tho i've also seen many using the one from season one.
i hope it will not get switched to the S4 piece of shit lol
the biggest failure of this show was that I never gave a shit about the relationship the main char had with his wife and it plays such a big role in the end, and it just fell flat because they only ever show it being fricking a miserable time and then it's like throw in one flashback to tell the audience that this is more important than anything else in his life.
>So we were dash dash feeling not kind towards AI
Isn't she a writer? Why does she type like this? Does she mean "we were not feeling kind towards AI"?
- = Negative
-- = Very negative
Very negative feeling towards AI
