The real elements of the Arctic, derange psycho homosexual, natives with unknown intentions, and collective insanity among men are scary and dangerous enough. The gay reddit bear killed all the tension built by these things and ruined it.
The only one delusional here is you spouting off this shit every single thread. I get you didn't like the monster but there isn't some secret plotline that makes it imaginary so your autistic ass can enjoy the show
That's a good headcanon explanation but nothing in the show really indicates thats whats happening, at least not that I can remember. The crew did have lead poisoning and were going insane, but the show didn't depict anything as a hallucination did it? Also doesn't explain why the bear would take Crozier's hand and then spare him instead of just eating him which is what an actual bear would've done
Was it just a polar bear in the book or still some kind of supernatural monster?
In the book the monster is some kind of living superweapon created by the Inuit gods, and the reason Lady Silence can talk to it is because she's it's priestess.
>it was just a polar bear.
It's supposed to be more skinwalker-y going of the source material.
It's been a while but I could've sworn it was bigger in the book too.
every movie should do that
imagine if AI got good enough to do that for you
imagine you're watching Marriage Story, starting to get bored and BOOOM magical polar bear shows up and eats ScarJo and her attorney
In the book it was an actual supernatural monster. Crozier still survives but in the book becomes a priest to control the monster to redeem himself or some shit.
Should have been a more subtle super natureal monster, bears are already like carnivorous apes intelligence wise and can open doors. Just blend a real polar bear with supernatural hunger/voodoo
I agree in the show it would've been a good call to make it more subtle as to whether or not the bear is just a smarter, bigger polar bear or an actual supernatural being. Especially since they decide to kill him with poisoning in the end which is really weird. In the book it's clear the tuunbaq is something supernatural from the get go but there they also explain that he's from inuit mythology and they also go over the inuit creation mythology in the end.
Despite it being supernatural no one ever figures out what the frick it is, its identity is more like an epilogue than part of the story. To the men it's just a mysterious force that keeps crushing and destroying them that they only see glimpses of
The crew irl would have been beset by mischievous and malevolent Tuurngait. Ancient spirits that were never granted a body, so they posess people and animals in order to live out their desires through borrowed flesh.
Its kind of a crapshoot because depending on the temperament they'll make you do basically anything they want. This can be as mundane as urging you to eat a strawberry to satisfy the spirits curiosity on what they taste like, to one taking total control of you and burning your hand on a fire to feel the sensation, posessing you in order to lead you to lost items or people just to be nice, or forcing you to sit in the co-pilot seat while it makes you murder your own family out of sheer malevolence or jealousy.
Its because they adapted some gay supernatural novel instead of just creating their own original depiction of the event, which was incredibly interesting on its own
the show is about how they were completely screwed and never actually had a chance after the first year
having a magic bear that eats souls nobody understands fits that thematically, stay mad Cinemaphile
The show is good and absolutely worth the watch...but yeah, there was something off about the way the manbearpig was handled. Based on the promos, it felt more mysterious/supernatural and there was a lot more play between what was real and what wasn't It all played a little too straight (lol) was disappointed about that. But I would still emphatically recommend it. It's only 10 eps and delivers some great acting and tension.
The animal didn't bother me at all. I felt like its a nice fringe threat, sort of on the margins of the heavier story. Thematically, it's like a nightmare both from within (crew/sanity) and from the exterior. Also, like other people have already said, I took the creature to be a skinwalker/cryptid type situation and being from /x/, of course I'd be into that shit playa. I aint tossin' no shade at this show, on god fr.
The whole part about the Masque of the Red Death party was so interesting, because apparently that part was real. But if there had been a giant monster roaming the area, they obviously would not have done it. That aspect really bugged me.
Why didn't Crozier get to spend the rest of his life cooming inside Lady Silence like he did in the book? Why did the showrunners do him dirty like that?
Indeed they did and they really changed way too much shit for the show. Don't mind trimming things down but some changes to characters and stuff that happens were pretty bad.
Bears are so scary that in Europe they blended the real with the fantastic in human understanding to the point Bruin in german and similar derived names for bears are pseudonyms of the real name, one that in the german case just means "brown/brown one". It was feared mentioning one by its real name would summon it.
>it should have just been a polar bear!
Every fricking thread. What the hell is a normal bear(thats never seen a gun before) going to do against 200 armed men?
polar bears can run 35mph
and are smarter than chimps and gorillas in problem solving
>On literally the first day we tested, the dominant male went right to the images that moved around the screen without making any errors. And with almost every task we gave him, he learned faster than the chimps and gorillas I was working with at the same time.”
DAMN homie thats crazy. How did that one in your pic end up dead and stuffed again?
You can put a fricking tyrannosaurus in front of pic related and it'll still get shredded.
everytime i see this shit just reminds me of my ex. we attempted to watch this shit show till we saw those two homosexuals being homosexuals below deck. we looked at each other, sighed, turned it off and complained about the israelites for half an hour.....eh chose alcohol over her so i guess thats that
I would watch a film version of Kabloona. The novel is a great account of a Frenchman living among the Inuit in the late 1930s in and around King William Land.
How hard is it to make a scary snow monster? Literally game of thrones did a scary monster bear perfectly fine. The Terror? Looks like my uncle and it’s less scary than him too.
Where you there?No?Then frick off.
I was there
I'm the bear, can confirm this guy was there
ok, ridley
Absolutely destroyed in the first post. Damn son.
The real elements of the Arctic, derange psycho homosexual, natives with unknown intentions, and collective insanity among men are scary and dangerous enough. The gay reddit bear killed all the tension built by these things and ruined it.
It was just a polar bear. They were all tripping balls from lead poisoning.
unfortunately that's not what lead does to you
Literally doesn't explain why the Natives directly talked about the monster before and after lead poisoning affected Crozier
They were told a legend and their hallucinations took recent info they were provided and applied it to a regular polar bear. makes sense to non morons
The only one delusional here is you spouting off this shit every single thread. I get you didn't like the monster but there isn't some secret plotline that makes it imaginary so your autistic ass can enjoy the show
so you identify as a moron then
>I sent a laughing reaction image
>I win!
thats how it works kiddo

It's supposed to be more skinwalker-y going of the source material.
In the book, it was a giant Yeti-like monster with a tiny triangular head and beady eyes.
It would've actually worked had that been the case
every movie should do that
imagine if AI got good enough to do that for you
imagine you're watching Marriage Story, starting to get bored and BOOOM magical polar bear shows up and eats ScarJo and her attorney
That movie would have went from pretentious "indie" slop to a 10/10.
Just like The Terror.
>YOURE BEAR BLASTING ME
But what about hump catting?
OK I admit a bear ending in Marriage Story makes for an actual great ending
The book bear was better, nothing like manbearpig the show had

I stopped watching when I realized it was going to be a monster of the week show.

The arctic is a fricking spooky place.
More like down syndrome bear.
mr hickey did nothing wrong
no, he didn't. He was killed by the gay lunatic who then stole his name
I like to pretend it’s jus a bear 🙂
yeah, that's really bad it wasn't a slow intellectual burner, because scary things are unpleasant to me, but the monster wasn't scary at all I swear
Its because they adapted some gay supernatural novel instead of just creating their own original depiction of the event, which was incredibly interesting on its own
Just watch The North Water. Same deal, different characters, no gay voodoo bear.
>no gay voodoo bear.
just gay sailing sex
>NOT SO DIFFERENT YOU AN I!!!
The ending literally turned into a a lame monster movie, slasher villain chase.
Didn't really get the appeal of this show. It was okay.
shit, the chain looks terrible in that pic
the only problem with the monster is that they had to show it. some things work only in your imagination, that's why literature is superior.
the show is about how they were completely screwed and never actually had a chance after the first year
having a magic bear that eats souls nobody understands fits that thematically, stay mad Cinemaphile
What show is this? I wanna watch moronic bear show.
Moriarty Goes North its based off a sherlock book
>sherlockslop
Ugh.
The Terror
thanks anon

They thought they killed or wounded it enough when it attacked our guy Mr Blanky
They shot it with a cannon and then several months passed without a sighting, any sane person would have assumed it wandered off and bled to death
For me its Sophia
but she was a b***h
Why didn't Crozier get to spend the rest of his life cooming inside Lady Silence like he did in the book? Why did the showrunners do him dirty like that?
Indeed they did and they really changed way too much shit for the show. Don't mind trimming things down but some changes to characters and stuff that happens were pretty bad.
Some of the changes worked though.
Couldn't have Franklin's flashbacks or the platypus pond lol
Bears are so scary that in Europe they blended the real with the fantastic in human understanding to the point Bruin in german and similar derived names for bears are pseudonyms of the real name, one that in the german case just means "brown/brown one". It was feared mentioning one by its real name would summon it.
My girlfriend is obsessed with this show. We've watched the series eight times since it came out.
get her moby dick and books on Shackleton adventure
Nta, thanks for the Shackleton recommendation. I just finished reading about the Franklin expedition and wanted something in a similar vein.
Lucky bastard
Kino as frick scene. Hammers home his purity and actual goodness. These were therapeutic to see
It gets even worse in S2. Lots of long shots of Crozier walking around doing nothing. Then the Tuunbaq pup reveal. I had to drop it there.
>it should have just been a polar bear!
Every fricking thread. What the hell is a normal bear(thats never seen a gun before) going to do against 200 armed men?
They are a 12 foot tall animal smart enough to open doors and strong enough to punch whales to death what does making it a manbearpig add?
Youre an idiot. Bears are just bears, stupid, slow
Tuunbaq is evil and intelligent, read the damn book or stfu
polar bears can run 35mph
and are smarter than chimps and gorillas in problem solving
>On literally the first day we tested, the dominant male went right to the images that moved around the screen without making any errors. And with almost every task we gave him, he learned faster than the chimps and gorillas I was working with at the same time.”
I could outrun one.
Even if I had to fight one, if you damage their eyes they'll back off.
but a bunch of men with rifles could easily kill one. it wouldn't be dodging tens of bullets and be able to still hurt them
DAMN homie thats crazy. How did that one in your pic end up dead and stuffed again?
You can put a fricking tyrannosaurus in front of pic related and it'll still get shredded.
everytime i see this shit just reminds me of my ex. we attempted to watch this shit show till we saw those two homosexuals being homosexuals below deck. we looked at each other, sighed, turned it off and complained about the israelites for half an hour.....eh chose alcohol over her so i guess thats that
Thank god. You fricking idiots might have ended up procreating which would have been horrible for everybody else
upon recent rewatches, I've realized that
The North Water>>>the Terror
AH, FOR JUST ONE TIME
I WOULD TAKE THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE
The addition of the supernatural made it better. It elevates it out of the mundane feeling that usually haunts historicals.
I would watch a film version of Kabloona. The novel is a great account of a Frenchman living among the Inuit in the late 1930s in and around King William Land.
How hard is it to make a scary snow monster? Literally game of thrones did a scary monster bear perfectly fine. The Terror? Looks like my uncle and it’s less scary than him too.
They had a MUCH bigger budget.
