I know youre joking but I can't think of a group of people who suffered more over a long period of time than these Polar Exploration men. They were absolutely some of the bravest men Ive ever read about
This creature is completely different in the book tho.
>literally invisible >very intelligent, intentionally kills and removes corpses of polar bears in the area to starve humans out >leaves bunch of torn off heads arranged in a row >waits in ambush when they reach the fake ocean >the ending, which is one of the creepiest things ive read
In the tv show its literally just a big angry polar bear that dies in the dumbest way possible. Weakest part of the show by far.
Don't forget about >playing the shaman girl like a musical instrument by blowing through her open mouth
I disliked Tuunbaq in the show, but after reading the book, I know he was just portrayed poorly.
There's a reason the food containers were delivered in such a short amount of time and for such a low price, it was done in a half assed and rushed manner that obviously caused huge problems. Spoilage was a major problem if poison wasnt
They had canned food and not enough animals to hunt. That's guaranteed scurvy and it's remarkable if any of them lived through the second winter (human flesh doesn't prevent scurvy strangely enough). The whole world forgot how to prevent it because the Royal Navy got cheap and started using completely ineffective lime juice that had no vitamine C.
The thing that annoyed me is they could've just used a very large polar bear or have them be attacked by multiple so it seems like one bear invulnerable to bullets. Throw in some hallucination and paranoia for good measure. You don't need to make it explicit but leave a Victorian-style mystery rather than a dumb manbear.
Fact that nobody made this obvious point at any stage of production makes me wonder if it was an essential requirement to get funding.
yeah when it first started attacking I thought it was a polar bear for sure
they should have kept it shrouded in mystery and I think your idea of them thinking it's one bear hunting them while in reality there are several is a very good explanation
could even be a nice twist
it's like that movie where they have to kill the 2 lions in Africa while building the railway
they are just natural predators, but they are creepy and specifically hunt humans so they get an air of mystery and the supernatural
the monster in the Terror just looked dumb in the end when you see it clearly
There are like 30 or more real life historical expeditions into polar regions that would make a fantastic show far more interesting than anything with a giant monster bears.
It's fine, but for me, the really interesting part was when they went into survival mode and they had to start coming up with practical solutions to these problems. The bear should've had a more minor role imo
I don't know why they made it look like that and not pic-related like the book. It's supposed to be an abomination/weapon made by the gods and left behind.
The creature is actually invisible in the book, its not a zombie giraffe bear. Wheres this idea coming from specifically?
The times when theyre able to spot in the book is either its black eyes alone and some vague silhouette or when they think something is a big chunk of ice or piece of landscape, which ends up standing up all of the sudden. The only times its explicitly described iirc is that its really tall and big
I haven't watched the show but I read the book a while ago and it was a massive disappointment towards the end. Does the show follow the same path where all the likable characters get killed off and the whiny alcoholic c**t of a captain fricks the eskimo qt and becomes a voodoo witch doctor? God that was gay.
>Does the show follow the same path where all the likable characters get killed off and the whiny alcoholic c**t of a captain fricks the eskimo qt and becomes a voodoo witch doctor?
No, the ending is completely different in the show, also the show almost completely skips the aspect of Crozier getting blueballed by that english prostitute, and instead insert strong female wives trying to convince Admiralty to send the rescue party. So Crozier ends up being far more likeable and less of a raging grindset incel
Oh I'd almost forgotten about those endless Tasmania flashbacks lol. Although wasn't some woman trying to get the rescue party going also in the book? It was part of Crozier's magic leprechaun visions which also took place in America a lot for whatever reason. There were so many little things like that that just led nowhere. Like the first captain had that whole story about starving in Canada and the big twist was the eskimo girl was the same one but it kinda didn't matter or mean anything. And I was so mad when the ice-master who had that incredibly written escape sequence just laid down and died later. Frick that.
Showing the monster takes away from its monstrosity, you can see that the thing is just a bad taxidermy animated with bad CGI. The unknown is always scarier.
The same reason why all Lovecraft adaptations are and will be shit.
>le Lovecraft never showed le monster meme
Read Mountains of Madness. There's a 10 page autopsy of an Elder Thing that describes it in explicit detail. You are parroting reddit memes without understanding the source material.
They were extremely lucky in the South under Ross and Crozier. I don't think anyone died on that expedition which is why, despite being maybe the most successful Antarctic expedition for the next 60 years, didn't get as much attention.
What an amazingly well designed monster.
Really ambiguous face, part man part bear, really makes sense since its actually a spirit/deitous entity.
Wish there more soul eating scenes, shit made my skin crawl when Tuunbaq breathed in Little's soul.
if it was good someone would talk about it
in two years I've seen literally only one thread where someone tried to discuss season 2 plot and characters
All those teeth and being the buttbaby of a polar bear and Ed Asner. Christ, what a fricktarded design. Marred an otherwise perfect show. Would pic-related have been so wrong?
The scariest animals ain’t even the big ones. It’s the smaller, venomous ones you don’t see coming. Irwin died to a stingray not a crocodile . I don’t why movies think size= more dangerous when it comes to animals. I guess more pog action scenes
white privilege
I know youre joking but I can't think of a group of people who suffered more over a long period of time than these Polar Exploration men. They were absolutely some of the bravest men Ive ever read about
hungry
>let’s take this incredibly detailed and accurate historic horror-drama and let’s drop a polar bear monster in it lmao
based moron
Explain why I’m a moron?
>the monster is in the book too!
So what
So it's not an "accurate historic horror-drama" nor does it tries to be you midwit
shouldve adapted a different book then
there wasnt even poisoning irl neither
This creature is completely different in the book tho.

>>the ending, which is one of the creepiest things ive read
Maybe I should read it I did really love the show
Whats the ending?
It involves amputations and throatrape. Read the book.
>Read the book
No
Don't forget about
>playing the shaman girl like a musical instrument by blowing through her open mouth
I disliked Tuunbaq in the show, but after reading the book, I know he was just portrayed poorly.
>there wasnt even poisoning irl neither
Are you talking about lead poisoning? Because there was.
There's a reason the food containers were delivered in such a short amount of time and for such a low price, it was done in a half assed and rushed manner that obviously caused huge problems. Spoilage was a major problem if poison wasnt
>invent new way of storing food long term
>completely half ass it
>there wasnt even poisoning irl neither
There was lead poisoning, scurvy and botulism. All at once.
They had canned food and not enough animals to hunt. That's guaranteed scurvy and it's remarkable if any of them lived through the second winter (human flesh doesn't prevent scurvy strangely enough). The whole world forgot how to prevent it because the Royal Navy got cheap and started using completely ineffective lime juice that had no vitamine C.

This
Whoever thought putting Tupaaq in there can eat a dick and hope they never work in movies/TV again
There are like 30 or more real life historical expeditions into polar regions that would make a fantastic show far more interesting than anything with a giant monster bears.
What the frick were they thinking?
bad cgi was his problem
also poorly written into the story
Anyone who dislikes the paranormal element is an idiot
No, anyone who likes it is the idiot.
Here's a newsflash for you, Autisto Ramirez : media doesn't have to follow your autistically arbitrary rules
But it should.
I don’t dislike it, it just doesn’t add much to the story.
It's fine, but for me, the really interesting part was when they went into survival mode and they had to start coming up with practical solutions to these problems. The bear should've had a more minor role imo
>Tranime calling anyone else an idiot
I am trans but I don't see how that's relevant.
it was poorly executed
forks and gays it seems
I don't know why they made it look like that and not pic-related like the book. It's supposed to be an abomination/weapon made by the gods and left behind.
u just made my morning buster buns thanks
lmfao
This genuinly doesn't look scary.
How the frick is it going to move, or run and fight, it looks too goofy.

He wanted them to turn back

yep, pretty much. The last three episodes are pretty shit tbh but it is KINO as frick overall

It works better in the medium of literature since you're forced to imagine the creature.
The Elder Thing isn't the monster in MoM.
>They're trying to reach the end of the Northwest Passage
>The main villain is named Turnback
Schlock.
>Dr Goodsir
>is a good sir
>ships crew get terrorized by nature and a monster
>is called The Terror
BRAVO
>Lieutenant is called Gore
>dies a gory death
bravo Simmons
>mission to discover the last unknown place on earth
>uses the ships Terror and Erebus (Darkness)
it's like bad foreshadowing
They were extremely lucky in the South under Ross and Crozier. I don't think anyone died on that expedition which is why, despite being maybe the most successful Antarctic expedition for the next 60 years, didn't get as much attention.
>first names James
>last name Fitzjames
did they run out of ideas LOL?

Wish there more soul eating scenes, shit made my skin crawl when Tuunbaq breathed in Little's soul.
This is the terror right? Is there a second season I can't find it.
There's a second season but it has nothing to do with the first, it's a completely different story.
is it good?
if it was good someone would talk about it
in two years I've seen literally only one thread where someone tried to discuss season 2 plot and characters
manbearpig?

not like the stingray was particularely small tho.
>the artic has stingrays, snakes, and scorpions
Absolute moron.
Agreed, the little monsters in LIFE and Evolution are the most panic inducing ones. The dog-with-rabies effect.
he fricked that eskimo pussy
Nah, that would be Crozier.
He was just filtering the normalgays
no normalgays watched the show in the first place
