Even the atheist believes in destiny because the universe is observed to be predetermined, and the motion of each particle affects the motion of the next and so on and so on.
You can't escape destiny.

There is no source to be provided. I'm talking about an observation of the universe. A axiom of reality. If you knew the speed and direction of every atom in the universe, you could theoretically conclude where every atom would be in the next second, and the next, and the next, and so on.

The technology to observe the universe is still at infancy, we can't even send humans to Mars yet, why would you arrogantly make assumptions about how the universe works, it's because you want an answer. And since you couldn't find one, you desperately try to fake one with the concept of Destiny

Science is not infallible, it's ever changing and new things are found out years later. Plus science is backed up by experiments that can be repeated and have consistent results. Destiny is not backed up by reliable science. and your science is obviously marred by your bias and wanting for destiny to exist

But what does predestination add in that case? You can add predestination to any physical theory without increasing its explanatory power.
Perhaps, but if they can they are better man than me. The only thing left to scum like me is to curse the stars above and jump in to the abyss, deeper than ever before, deeper than the abyss itself. And drag myself out with my own power, but the thing that will leave the abyss will be no more a man, but the demon forged on it's darkness, and the darkness itself a vessel for light. To rip apart the sky were the star I once cursed now reside.
Or I could go to the therapist, but I'm just not feeling it.
>I can change my genetics and my environment and my history and...
I simply don't believe this. Willpower and muh quantum consciousness is a god-of-the-gaps-level cope for materialists who don't want to accept the ramifications of materialism. A goes to B.
It really doesn't matter if you believe in the human spirit or a soul or not, any system that can be explained can be either anticipated or outright predicted. There's no way to fight destiny because the only thing that can happen is what's going to happen. If your willpower was going to do something, it was always going to do that, because that act is either part of its nature, or the effects that led it to act that way.
If it can be explained, it can be anticipated. Just because it can't be perfectly predicted doesn't mean that wasn't the way it was always going to be.
>any system that can be explained can be either anticipated or outright predicted.
There are hard physical limits to the resolution of information that can be learned about the world, and with all sorts of chaotic systems operating on the scales that matter to humans, predicting the future in detail beyond short time scales is outright impossible without invoking omniscience. Who's coping with gaps now?
And whether you want to call it free will or not, it's obvious that the causal nexus behind a lot of human behavior resides in the brain.
It doesn't matter if it can't be perfectly predicted, that wasn't my point. You can play poker until the sun burns out and might not get a duplicate deck (8 billion years or so versus ~8x10e67 decks), but that doesn't make any given deck not in the order it was shuffled into. You wouldn't say the deck picks its card order.
Besides, not being able to predict something is the opposite of being able to control it. Is your activity random? If it is, you don't really have an identity as much as the universe has you-shaped dice. If it isn't, your decisions are as much as made, the same as any system returned to a perfect identity of its start state.
Either way, not only are you not in control, you never were. The most you can say is that you're expressing your own nature, which is the closest possible fit to free will there is and is pretty much the definition of a spirit anyway, because your identity isn't really a material thing at that point.
>but that doesn't make any given deck not in the order it was shuffled into
Have a look through this article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractor
In the real world, systems are so sensitive to initial conditions that two metaphorical decks of cards in the same order won't remain in the same order as each other after being shuffled in the same way.
>The most you can say is that you're expressing your own nature, which is the closest possible fit to free will
I don't think you understand what people usually mean when they talk about these concepts. What do you mean by "free will" such that it doesn't exist? Are you capable of deciding whether or not to reply to this post?

Chill bro, no need to act up because you got mildly irritated by something.
Damn your stars, damn your Destiny. Behold here the one fate of all mankind: You Will Die.
To live is to fight back against that potent, and to strive is to defy it. Bark kneel and role over into your grave if you want dog, humanity shall make their stand against the storm.
Unless there were leaks I was under the impression they were still gonna be together. Edred acted like a huge dick in the most recent episode. Winston kind of was one too but he was the more justified dick.
Gennedy has never been a great writer so I've been pretty surprised at how even handed he's been with the setup and how neither man is in the wrong because they're facing the exact same problem.
As an Edredfag he just came off as worse even though I understand why he's acting that way. I can only assume Genndy is very optimistic about a season 2 because I don't think there are enough episodes left to get at the root of how fucked up Unicorn really is.
Edred probably shares Melinda's take on their mission, which would mean he's being rather patient. The reveal of descendants of prior hosts claiming it's supposed to be a lineage thing also adds a wrinkle, especially considering one of their prior incarnations would be within living memory.
>I can only assume Genndy is very optimistic about a season 2
I'd say the opposite. Genndy talked about how hard it was for him to get this show greenlit so he should be aware at this point this is a limited production, and Adult Swim has stated
There is considerable doubt because he is 2 for 0 when it comes to endings, so Unicorn can run into the same issues that Jack and Primal did and rush the conclusion for a third time.
Look I haven't really caught up on this, but if my wife got shanghied off to be part of some kind of defenders of the universe team or whatever I'd be pissed and I'd be doing whatever I could to get her back too.
At a certain point Winston has to realize he has to change tactics. There's supernatural phenomena happening clearly. He needs to start asking questions or researching if he wants Emma, not keep jumping into situations that gets him hurt.
Fate has literally NEVER been important. Every time it's good, it was "always meant to happen" and every time it's bad, the people involved just so happen to have the will/strength to overturn it. It's just people coping in order to look cool.
They haven't said whether it's possible to let Melinda take over, fight the evil, and then give the body back to Emma. If it's possible, Melinda should just say so. She knows how to use her powers while Emma doesn't. Emma keeps freaking out and fucking everyone up basically every time she uses Melinda's powers.
I think there's a possibility that Melinda can take Emma's body but she can't give it back to her. If so, I doubt she'd want to admit that to Emma.
However, if it's possible to let Melinda take over only temporarily, that would still have some issues. Would Emma consent to Melinda being romantically affectionate with Edred while she and Dimitri are unable to stop them from using their bodies?
Leaning towards Melinda only being present when Emma has to use her powers since she sorta did give Melinda full control of her body during the statue fight.
Given Emma is a prudish victorian, most likely not. I mean she probably hasn't even made love to Winston. How horrible if your first time was stolen by a dirty russian being piloted by an elf. Even if you weren't present.
Though I don't know if it's better or worse if the Warriors forfeit the bodies back if they survive the great evil, Eddred wants to be with his love and he only gets to be so for the brief window they have bodies again. But that sorta undercuts the drama of...stealing these people's lives. It just makes Emma in a bad spot but she just needs to get through it rather than possibly doomed to lose everything because bad timing.
I mean they seem to be pretty up front that in their eyes the best they can do is stop it from killing the entire world each time. Even from the first conversation Merlin was throwing out words like THROUGHOUT ETERNITY
>stop it from killing the entire world each time
How is it supposed to be a significant threat to THE ENTIRE WORLD? It could go around wrecking stuff forever, and most people wouldn't even notice. A planet is a rather big place.
It apparently is but not in the traditional way we think of reincarnation, I think. It's more like if once Aang found out he was the Avatar he just permanently went into the Avatar State and Roku was the one in control.
>It apparently is but not in the traditional way we think of reincarnation
The traditional way most people think of reincarnation doesn't actually rigorously consider what is supposed to be going on. If reincarnation involves a "soul" being recycled into different people, then the soul is not what mediates persistence of personal identity, and the past lives are different people. The resurgence of a past person in a current body would constitute body snatching and/or multiple personality disorder, as shown here.
For a different comparison, Finn and Jake "reincarnating" killed them deader than if they'd stayed in the dead worlds. Finn could assume Shoko's physical form, but he wasn't Shoko. She could have joked with her tiger. So now Finn the person is gone.
>If reincarnation involves a "soul" being recycled into different people, then the soul is not what mediates persistence of personal identity, and the past lives are different people. The resurgence of a past person in a current body would constitute body snatching and/or multiple personality disorder, as shown here.
Usually in traditional reincarnation personal identity is made of both a soul and memories. Nature and Nurture you could say. By reincarnating you lose memories, but the Nature part remain the same, and the only reason for why different reincarnations behave differently is because they are grown up differently and have different memories. Which also mean that an old identity can't really "take over", at best it can became a mix where the soul has all the memories from all the incarnations, each one influencing the result in the same way. Of course this might in practice be little different, as for example in the Avatar case the Avatar State has already 10k years of experiences, so it's hard that another 13 years (Aang experiences) will influence it a lot.
>but the Nature part remain the same
And if this doesn't actually transfer stuff from the past life to the current, it's not in any meaningful sense the same person. What specifically is supposed to be transferred in this?

In this they're apparently supposed to just overtake the body, but at the very least their spirits are attuned to their old abilities too. So even if they weren't bodysnatching they'd still probably still awaken the witches' shade, cosmic awareness, and the soulbound sword.
Not even Roku, more like Wan. Every avatar just physically and mentally transforms into Wan once they're old enough. That seems to be how it works in UWE.

Lol without the gore to attract the people that jerk off to it, nobody cares about the show.
I guess it doesn't help that the plot every episode is the girl telling the teammates that she's not Melinda, while telling the immortal teleporting fiance that she's not Emma either. Like, pick a side already. How many episodes are you gonna dwell on it without making progress? There's only so much you can stall and recycle animation, right? Right? I guess not for this guy.
Well it doesn't help that there are only 4 episodes.
i dont even care about the gore and havnt read the comics but the first episode is a literal slog and the melinda/emma characters seems to be slowing the entire show to a halt like i literally dont care just show me them fighting ghost pirates or the squid already i really like the concept and have watched all the episodes but it is boring as shit so far
i don't think its boring but the whole emma and melinda thing shouldn't be talking this long for the main cast to understand what's happening with emma so the can talk it out.

The problem is pacing. Everything has been either fighting, running away, Emmelinda purposefully stonewalling, or general confusion. In meta it's been 4 episodes but it's been only 3-4 days in the show maybe. The first day it's only Copernicus and Emmelinda, very little communication there, and then right after the warriors are reunited, magnificunt happens leading to Emmelinda leaving, wasting an additional evening and another half day. After that, immediate seance happenings and the stone men, leading to fox chase and ghost ship. Not much time for talking with all the fighting and running away.

ye emma is my favourite so far but i just don't want Winston and edric well mostly edric to be clueless as to why emma is acting the way she does.
I mean even if you get past the fact he's in love with her and just wants to see her NOW, like a lot of couples would probably try to do whatever they could to see their lover if a situation was off the norm, Melinda being dormant in Emma makes them weaker as a team. So he has every reason to want to fix the situation rather than just hope the cycle works out fine and things go back to normal next time. If his mentality is like Melinda's, they really don't give two fucks about the lives they're hijacking.
true but i think them not caring is who they are high jacking is the problem, they always had so one willing to give them a body but is the first when one doesn't want give up the body and they have no empathy for her.

Primal season 2 really underperformed compared to the first, but at least grew in viewership. Unicorns started with the end viewership of primal s2 and is down to the starting viewership of s2. Even if it's big by current [AS] standards samurai jack s5 had 1.5mil for most of it's run and all these cost the same to animate. Anime releases are getting better numbers though, one piece is still one of the biggest things on cable. For all we know primal is out competing it on the same night, but nelson doesn't release the numbers on reruns anymore because it's usually embarrassing originals.

"it might start at 5" isn't the flow of a show this short for the plot beats it's expected to hit. Next episode will be the third episode of Emma fighting her powers because they're dangerous and hurt ppl. I'd bet they expected newshow primal numbers when greenlighting this, both at AS and as show runners, and it just hasn't materialized.

Oh I know, that's exactly what I'm saying though. If he can charm butts into seats for a movie like that, his standing (at least with Sony) will be even more golden than it already is
When Dimitri is becoming Edred there's a flash of a Russian castle. Since we've seen glimpses of magic elf land, chances are that was one of Dimitri's memories.
Elves live a long time. Edred probably thought he could afford to fuck around on earth as long as he wanted and still get back to elf kingdom, but episode 7 implies that elf kingdom is screwed.
Then again Melinda is not(?) an elf. I don't know how he'd expect to get pureblood heirs so maybe he abandoned his duties as a while.
[...] >proud of "First born of the unbroken line" title >proceeds to break said bloodline by fucking a human witch for centuries
What are you guys getting stuck on? An unbroken line only necessitates that each ruler was the son or daughter of the previous, with nothing like succession crises or unrelated dynasties ruling between them. Nothing indicates that intermixing with non-elves somehow disqualifies that
Glad I'm not the only one that thought of this. But man, her eyebrows are killing me. They look so bad. She looks like Betty Boop crossed between Monkey Fist from Kim Possible.
I really, really hate the character designs. And that's 75% the appeal of this show.

Going to repeat what someone said a few threads ago and say episodes 3 and 4 have the same basic structure of Emma/Melinda is upset about her confused identity and doesn't want to use her powers but circumstances force her to use her powers to solve a problem but that may have just caused a bigger problem so she's back to being upset.

"Hints" and such are absolutely meaningless
The show was produced with CN in mind. It will not have been altered to be more grimdark in the short time before it was announced as moving to Adult Swim, so I would strongly advise against hyping yourself up
Looks to me like the giant thing Alfie saw in the cosmic realm when he was still super high
Maybe the Fox is able to corrupt some of the cosmic beings, since we know she can have a presence there
okay so what i don't get is, they get reincarnated, meaning even if in this era the elf can't see his girl. he'll get to see her in to next if the robot doesn't mess up also, the fact that he already has lived much longer than any normal human means he's been able to have this relationship longer than a normal couple which makes him seem like super asshole for not letting emma be with her fiancé for this one era.
I mean even if you get past the fact he's in love with her and just wants to see her NOW, like a lot of couples would probably try to do whatever they could to see their lover if a situation was off the norm, Melinda being dormant in Emma makes them weaker as a team.

That's my biggest problem with the show. When we see the kid, he has a cockney accent and a tragic backstory of being a good football player but in a poor school and all of that is tossed out the window.
>they really don't give two fucks about the lives they're hijacking.
Unpopular opinion but I like they give no fucks about who they hijack. It gives them a huge brush of gray. The only thing they have the freedom to do once they're in a body is to send private thanks to the poor shmuck whose life they're stealing anyway.
Also I don't no if this is important. But the people they choose seem to be at random, and even that effects them after like the two people bassed their lives in hopes they'll be chosen.

Yeah we don't know if they were just basing it off of wisful thinking or not. But it does seem that their descendants are from two different iterations so that makes it so they're atleast aware of lineages between previous/successive times....but again we don't have any proof if any of those people are of the same lineage. Like it's not impossible that the Injun is distantly related to a chinese guy and his great grandchild would be a black orphan that ended up in England....but it's very unlikely.Also one of the guys is a fucking elf.
I guess so. He said something about how his mind feels clouded.

How is it supposed to be a significant threat to THE ENTIRE WORLD? It could go around wrecking stuff forever, and most people wouldn't even notice. A planet is a rather big place.
If you trust Melinda's word, she said the evil was intending to "kill all of humanity". Maybe it can grow much bigger in size during its rampages or something.
>she said the evil was intending to "kill all of humanity"
OK, so it WANTS to. That doesn't mean that it has the ABILITY to. If it managed to depopulate a square mile PER MINUTE and kept that pace up forever, it would take more than a century to make a round trip over Earth's land area. Meaning generations would pass before it came by a given area again.

>still no response
Unicorn threads are nothing but stolen fan art that's impossible to trace back because artists don't sign their shit and anons don't cite the art they share.
Zombie elephant was definitely bad but so far the show is skewing more towards Unicorn being the bigger problem. Emma probably got all those people on the ship killed.
They'll probably just cut to them immediately saving all the shipwrecked survivors by the start of next episode. She can't have a moral freak-out over nearly harming a small family only to inadvertently murder an entire crew and move on like it's no big deal.
Its one schizo derailing the threads constantly with mod approval.
Quite frankly if the mods dont wanna do anything about him then might as well make the threads actively worse until they cant ignore it anymore.

Pursuing male standoffish female is an instant recipe for entertainment. Dmitri would also be a much more fun out of depth protagonist to follow with the more direct power curve of learning how the magical sword works.

To add to this, if the cycle does continue they'll be fewer and fewer fighters or warrior-like people in the modern world at this point, they'd just be body-hijacking either socially awkward weirdos or typical average normies.
I mean the current iteration none of them are actual warriors. The closest they have is a schoolboy who just so happens to be an athlete/criminal. Emma is a sheltered Aristocrat and Dmitry is a street magician.
See now that would actually be interesting because it's a fair bet that the magic of the transformation would fix an injury like that, or slim up the host
And if none of, just having any of the main trio's ability to fly would be life changing for any number of people

I doubt the magic would slim up any host or fix their legs, since the most it seems to do is change hair length and skin color for eddred. It's really only a problem for Eddred too since Melinda and Xeng's powerset is more mental than physical and they can fly everywhere. Eddred would need to constantly command his sword to escort him about if he couldn't use his legs.

Since when were audiences more nuanced than critics? The thought that this is Genndy’s best is hilarious to me. UWE isn’t bad by any means but it’s nowhere near Samurai Jack, Primal or Sym Bionic Titan
I wouldn't say nuanced more as less invested. If you don't care much for animation, I can see you saying "yeah it's pretty good...nothing spectacular" whereas if you're hype about animation Genndy is both an old favorite and Unicorn is constantly jerking you off with allusions to old animation/comics. Like Normalfags are the kind of people who will called older animation bad on the principle it's older, so I wouldn't exactly call that nuanced.

Since when were audiences more nuanced than critics? The thought that this is Genndy’s best is hilarious to me. UWE isn’t bad by any means but it’s nowhere near Samurai Jack, Primal or Sym Bionic Titan
Anon I have a hard time believing that in 6 episodes that the entire show is going to become so good it not only makes up for the first four, but also puts it above everything else.
I was speaking generally, I wasnt accusing you. I didnt mean to make it sound that way, thats my bad.

No no it's my bad primal Anon I forgot who was above me in the chain and misread your post. But yeah the salt around Ms. Cinemaphile was real, really fun time to be In the threads tho.
If Dimitri's personality is leaking through, he isn't staying comatose for long. I don't think these holes in the personality patch are supposed to happen.
There was also that flash of some kind of Russian onion-dome palace when Dimitri got transformed too. There's a story there, that couldn't be for no reason right? Possible Dimitri is some kind of royalty himself who ran away and did street magic for money.
Destiny itself got in the way, like always. To be mocked by stars as they selfishly write our own future, I've been there also, I'm still here to tell the truth. You can only rebel in a useless tantrum or accept and perish as the weakling you are.
Wrong, a man can change his stars
Destiny is as make believe as religion, there is no written storyline for life
Even the atheist believes in destiny because the universe is observed to be predetermined, and the motion of each particle affects the motion of the next and so on and so on.
You can't escape destiny.
>Even the atheist believes in destiny because the universe is observed to be predetermined, and the motion of each particle affects the motion of the next and so on and so on.
And you say this without a source or any actual evidence, honestly it just seems like you just trying to excuse yourself of your own failures simply because "iT Was dEsTiNY"
>without a source or any actual evidence
There is no source to be provided. I'm talking about an observation of the universe. A axiom of reality. If you knew the speed and direction of every atom in the universe, you could theoretically conclude where every atom would be in the next second, and the next, and the next, and so on.
>I'm talking about an observation of the universe
The technology to observe the universe is still at infancy, we can't even send humans to Mars yet, why would you arrogantly make assumptions about how the universe works, it's because you want an answer. And since you couldn't find one, you desperately try to fake one with the concept of Destiny
>denying science now
Science is not infallible, it's ever changing and new things are found out years later. Plus science is backed up by experiments that can be repeated and have consistent results. Destiny is not backed up by reliable science. and your science is obviously marred by your bias and wanting for destiny to exist
Heisenberg says the more you know about the speed and direction of a particle, the less you know about its position.
>If you knew the speed and direction of every atom in the universe, you could theoretically conclude where every atom would be in the next second, and the next, and the next, and so on.
Nope.
The evidence is in, and the universe doesn't work that way.
He's a homosexual but the evidence is not in. There are some interesting results in quantum mechanics for which predestination is a viable, if unpopular, explanation. Not in any religious sense though obviously.
>There are some interesting results in quantum mechanics for which predestination is a viable, if unpopular, explanation.
Name one.
The Elitzur-Vaidman bomb. But don't mistake me for a defendant of predetermination, it's unpopular for a reason, I'm only saying it's not a defunct hypothesis.
But what does predestination add in that case? You can add predestination to any physical theory without increasing its explanatory power.
>even the atheist believes
I don’t
>inb4 seething
>because the universe is observed to be predetermined
Quantum mechanics said hi.
Perhaps, but if they can they are better man than me. The only thing left to scum like me is to curse the stars above and jump in to the abyss, deeper than ever before, deeper than the abyss itself. And drag myself out with my own power, but the thing that will leave the abyss will be no more a man, but the demon forged on it's darkness, and the darkness itself a vessel for light. To rip apart the sky were the star I once cursed now reside.
Or I could go to the therapist, but I'm just not feeling it.
MashaAllah
You have written a pretty poem.
Only if you're Fry from Futurama.
>I can change my genetics and my environment and my history and...
I simply don't believe this. Willpower and muh quantum consciousness is a god-of-the-gaps-level cope for materialists who don't want to accept the ramifications of materialism. A goes to B.
It really doesn't matter if you believe in the human spirit or a soul or not, any system that can be explained can be either anticipated or outright predicted. There's no way to fight destiny because the only thing that can happen is what's going to happen. If your willpower was going to do something, it was always going to do that, because that act is either part of its nature, or the effects that led it to act that way.
If it can be explained, it can be anticipated. Just because it can't be perfectly predicted doesn't mean that wasn't the way it was always going to be.
>any system that can be explained can be either anticipated or outright predicted.
There are hard physical limits to the resolution of information that can be learned about the world, and with all sorts of chaotic systems operating on the scales that matter to humans, predicting the future in detail beyond short time scales is outright impossible without invoking omniscience. Who's coping with gaps now?
And whether you want to call it free will or not, it's obvious that the causal nexus behind a lot of human behavior resides in the brain.
It doesn't matter if it can't be perfectly predicted, that wasn't my point. You can play poker until the sun burns out and might not get a duplicate deck (8 billion years or so versus ~8x10e67 decks), but that doesn't make any given deck not in the order it was shuffled into. You wouldn't say the deck picks its card order.
Besides, not being able to predict something is the opposite of being able to control it. Is your activity random? If it is, you don't really have an identity as much as the universe has you-shaped dice. If it isn't, your decisions are as much as made, the same as any system returned to a perfect identity of its start state.
Either way, not only are you not in control, you never were. The most you can say is that you're expressing your own nature, which is the closest possible fit to free will there is and is pretty much the definition of a spirit anyway, because your identity isn't really a material thing at that point.
>but that doesn't make any given deck not in the order it was shuffled into
Have a look through this article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractor
In the real world, systems are so sensitive to initial conditions that two metaphorical decks of cards in the same order won't remain in the same order as each other after being shuffled in the same way.
>The most you can say is that you're expressing your own nature, which is the closest possible fit to free will
I don't think you understand what people usually mean when they talk about these concepts. What do you mean by "free will" such that it doesn't exist? Are you capable of deciding whether or not to reply to this post?
a lot of purple prose for a shit point of view
>Destiny itself got in the way, like always. To be mocked by stars as they selfishly write our own future, I've been there also, I'm still here to tell the truth. You can only rebel in a useless tantrum or accept and perish as the weakling you are.
Chill bro, no need to act up because you got mildly irritated by something.
Nta but I don’t bud your response. Can you dumb it down?
Damn your stars, damn your Destiny. Behold here the one fate of all mankind: You Will Die.
To live is to fight back against that potent, and to strive is to defy it. Bark kneel and role over into your grave if you want dog, humanity shall make their stand against the storm.
So, you are talking about the show? Because I'm talking about the wedding. Is this what this thread is about, right? The wedding?
How is this show actually doing? So far I just see everyone giving it a resounding 'meh'
It fell at #9 on HBO Max lol
>looking at rankings for a show
Are you industryfag or some of other type of schill?
Well it doesn't help that there are only 4 episodes.
And so the coping begins.
Unless there were leaks I was under the impression they were still gonna be together. Edred acted like a huge dick in the most recent episode. Winston kind of was one too but he was the more justified dick.
Nothing, Winston's actually pretty great.
Gennedy has never been a great writer so I've been pretty surprised at how even handed he's been with the setup and how neither man is in the wrong because they're facing the exact same problem.
As an Edredfag he just came off as worse even though I understand why he's acting that way. I can only assume Genndy is very optimistic about a season 2 because I don't think there are enough episodes left to get at the root of how fucked up Unicorn really is.
Edred probably shares Melinda's take on their mission, which would mean he's being rather patient. The reveal of descendants of prior hosts claiming it's supposed to be a lineage thing also adds a wrinkle, especially considering one of their prior incarnations would be within living memory.
Only if you assume every generation only has a single child. A large family in the earliest days could make it incredibly wide spread
>I can only assume Genndy is very optimistic about a season 2
I'd say the opposite. Genndy talked about how hard it was for him to get this show greenlit so he should be aware at this point this is a limited production, and Adult Swim has stated
There is considerable doubt because he is 2 for 0 when it comes to endings, so Unicorn can run into the same issues that Jack and Primal did and rush the conclusion for a third time.
>Gennedy
Adult swim shot John F. Gennedy!
Zaslav in the grassy knoll!
Look I haven't really caught up on this, but if my wife got shanghied off to be part of some kind of defenders of the universe team or whatever I'd be pissed and I'd be doing whatever I could to get her back too.
I think his reaction is understandable but the guy is definitely being set up to either really get hurt or to accidentall fuck things up for the group
At a certain point Winston has to realize he has to change tactics. There's supernatural phenomena happening clearly. He needs to start asking questions or researching if he wants Emma, not keep jumping into situations that gets him hurt.
Fate is more important than love
Fate has literally NEVER been important. Every time it's good, it was "always meant to happen" and every time it's bad, the people involved just so happen to have the will/strength to overturn it. It's just people coping in order to look cool.
Question. Can't Emma just save the world and when it's all over she can get her life back or no?
They haven't said whether it's possible to let Melinda take over, fight the evil, and then give the body back to Emma. If it's possible, Melinda should just say so. She knows how to use her powers while Emma doesn't. Emma keeps freaking out and fucking everyone up basically every time she uses Melinda's powers.
I think there's a possibility that Melinda can take Emma's body but she can't give it back to her. If so, I doubt she'd want to admit that to Emma.
However, if it's possible to let Melinda take over only temporarily, that would still have some issues. Would Emma consent to Melinda being romantically affectionate with Edred while she and Dimitri are unable to stop them from using their bodies?
It'd be too easy if leaving their bodies was an option
Leaning towards Melinda only being present when Emma has to use her powers since she sorta did give Melinda full control of her body during the statue fight.
Given Emma is a prudish victorian, most likely not. I mean she probably hasn't even made love to Winston. How horrible if your first time was stolen by a dirty russian being piloted by an elf. Even if you weren't present.
Though I don't know if it's better or worse if the Warriors forfeit the bodies back if they survive the great evil, Eddred wants to be with his love and he only gets to be so for the brief window they have bodies again. But that sorta undercuts the drama of...stealing these people's lives. It just makes Emma in a bad spot but she just needs to get through it rather than possibly doomed to lose everything because bad timing.
>I've fought the same evil of 1,000 of years
Did it occur to you you may not be beating it if it keeps coming back?
I mean they seem to be pretty up front that in their eyes the best they can do is stop it from killing the entire world each time. Even from the first conversation Merlin was throwing out words like THROUGHOUT ETERNITY
>stop it from killing the entire world each time
How is it supposed to be a significant threat to THE ENTIRE WORLD? It could go around wrecking stuff forever, and most people wouldn't even notice. A planet is a rather big place.
One thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
>Worst thing gendys made
That would be anything past Dexter's Laboratory.
Merlin thought an eternity of bodysnatching would be a good permanent solution.
I was under the impression it was re-incarnation.
It apparently is but not in the traditional way we think of reincarnation, I think. It's more like if once Aang found out he was the Avatar he just permanently went into the Avatar State and Roku was the one in control.
>It apparently is but not in the traditional way we think of reincarnation
The traditional way most people think of reincarnation doesn't actually rigorously consider what is supposed to be going on. If reincarnation involves a "soul" being recycled into different people, then the soul is not what mediates persistence of personal identity, and the past lives are different people. The resurgence of a past person in a current body would constitute body snatching and/or multiple personality disorder, as shown here.
For a different comparison, Finn and Jake "reincarnating" killed them deader than if they'd stayed in the dead worlds. Finn could assume Shoko's physical form, but he wasn't Shoko. She could have joked with her tiger. So now Finn the person is gone.
>If reincarnation involves a "soul" being recycled into different people, then the soul is not what mediates persistence of personal identity, and the past lives are different people. The resurgence of a past person in a current body would constitute body snatching and/or multiple personality disorder, as shown here.
Usually in traditional reincarnation personal identity is made of both a soul and memories. Nature and Nurture you could say. By reincarnating you lose memories, but the Nature part remain the same, and the only reason for why different reincarnations behave differently is because they are grown up differently and have different memories. Which also mean that an old identity can't really "take over", at best it can became a mix where the soul has all the memories from all the incarnations, each one influencing the result in the same way. Of course this might in practice be little different, as for example in the Avatar case the Avatar State has already 10k years of experiences, so it's hard that another 13 years (Aang experiences) will influence it a lot.
>but the Nature part remain the same
And if this doesn't actually transfer stuff from the past life to the current, it's not in any meaningful sense the same person. What specifically is supposed to be transferred in this?
In this they're apparently supposed to just overtake the body, but at the very least their spirits are attuned to their old abilities too. So even if they weren't bodysnatching they'd still probably still awaken the witches' shade, cosmic awareness, and the soulbound sword.
Not even Roku, more like Wan. Every avatar just physically and mentally transforms into Wan once they're old enough. That seems to be how it works in UWE.
Good thing Copernicus showed up, five minutes later and that guy probably would've been in a T-Rex's belly.
heh

What are you gay?
What if I am
I saw a clip where Genndy said he animated the cowboy freaking out that says "It's a crazy demon!"
Do you realize how obvious you are.
he never has for years
I don't hate it, but outside of parents basically every couple being mixed is weird.
Almost like they want white people genocided through mixed breeding.

Never date a co-worker with whom you are fated to reincarnate with over and over again

Show?
Unicorn Warriors Eternal
Boring show terrible voice actors have a nice day
is it doing poorly? last i saw on youtube it was doing fine views wise
It's flopping
>premiered at 4th in trending via HBOmax
>episode four was in 9th place
>first 2 episodes had 230k viewers live
>it dropped like 40k before the end of the first episode
>4 lost another 10k leaving it at 180k
It’s not doing very well, for reference Primal trended in the top 3 every time a new episode released and it’s absolute lowest viewed episode was 180k.
Sadly it’s unicover
Forgot to add
>Genndy’s lowest rated show on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes audience score
>the highest rated episode on IMDb is an 8, Primals lowest is an 8 as well, Primal regularly was in the 9’s
Lol without the gore to attract the people that jerk off to it, nobody cares about the show.
I guess it doesn't help that the plot every episode is the girl telling the teammates that she's not Melinda, while telling the immortal teleporting fiance that she's not Emma either. Like, pick a side already. How many episodes are you gonna dwell on it without making progress? There's only so much you can stall and recycle animation, right? Right? I guess not for this guy.
>Lol without the gore to attract the people that jerk off to it, nobody cares about the show.
Finally someone says it.
i dont even care about the gore and havnt read the comics but the first episode is a literal slog and the melinda/emma characters seems to be slowing the entire show to a halt like i literally dont care just show me them fighting ghost pirates or the squid already i really like the concept and have watched all the episodes but it is boring as shit so far
i don't think its boring but the whole emma and melinda thing shouldn't be talking this long for the main cast to understand what's happening with emma so the can talk it out.
The problem is pacing. Everything has been either fighting, running away, Emmelinda purposefully stonewalling, or general confusion. In meta it's been 4 episodes but it's been only 3-4 days in the show maybe. The first day it's only Copernicus and Emmelinda, very little communication there, and then right after the warriors are reunited, magnificunt happens leading to Emmelinda leaving, wasting an additional evening and another half day. After that, immediate seance happenings and the stone men, leading to fox chase and ghost ship. Not much time for talking with all the fighting and running away.
i guess my main worry is the low episode count if it has 18 eps then its not to bad but also i don't want to wait a week with this type of pacing?
I actually started liking the show because of Emma. Who really gives a shit about ghost pirates, notice they didn't even give him a backstory.
Fiance chased Emma back to the ship, that is what I personally care about.
ye emma is my favourite so far but i just don't want Winston and edric well mostly edric to be clueless as to why emma is acting the way she does.
true but i think them not caring is who they are high jacking is the problem, they always had so one willing to give them a body but is the first when one doesn't want give up the body and they have no empathy for her.
It warms my heart to see Jack go down this badly. Maybe this will finally end his career.
>Jack
What?
Genndy=Jack
Try to keep up mate
I thought he was Gennedy
>Maybe this will finally end his career.
He made Sony billions of dollars with the Hotel Transylvania movies, he'll always have work. Not to mention he's doing Primal s3 and that other black knight show.
>Not to mention he's doing Primal s3 and that other black knight show
[Citation needed]
i know that there's a black knight video somewhere but it seemed more like a test project
Sony dropped it after he fucked up directing the Mario movie for them.
Yes viewership on all platforms is very poor, but the audience ratings are only bad in a relative to other Genndy shows sense. An 8 isn’t bad at all, but when even the worse episodes of his other shows get those it’s not good when that’s your peak.
That's called doing shit business. Add into the fact that Primal flopped in numbers…
>primal flopped
As I said it was trending in the top 3 every new episode, that’s really good
Primal season 2 really underperformed compared to the first, but at least grew in viewership. Unicorns started with the end viewership of primal s2 and is down to the starting viewership of s2. Even if it's big by current [AS] standards samurai jack s5 had 1.5mil for most of it's run and all these cost the same to animate. Anime releases are getting better numbers though, one piece is still one of the biggest things on cable. For all we know primal is out competing it on the same night, but nelson doesn't release the numbers on reruns anymore because it's usually embarrassing originals.
I reckon a secondary benefit Primal and Unicorn have that Jack didn't is being fodder for WBD's streaming service as they air
What is this a consumer report? Who gives a fuck about rankings?
>Heh, your subjective opinion is meaningless
>...the viewership is meaningless too! ...because ok?!
Inb4 something about no one understanding "art"
If you think the show is good it dropping right out if the cable top 50 is catastrophic news. For everyone else admitting it's mid it's doing as you'd figure. I really hope they didn't bank on getting multiple seasons.
Lol, that retard Genndy did. He was already hoping for four seasons.
I think I might cum.
To Genndy? Didn't know you were so into him, industrycuck.
Anon, it's single season, we knew this for literal months
In interviews before release he's talked about upwards of 4 but hoping for more than one to tell the story. Then there is the 8 random episodes registered to maybe placeholder a second season (or someone just fucked up some data entry)
"it might start at 5" isn't the flow of a show this short for the plot beats it's expected to hit. Next episode will be the third episode of Emma fighting her powers because they're dangerous and hurt ppl. I'd bet they expected newshow primal numbers when greenlighting this, both at AS and as show runners, and it just hasn't materialized.
Seeing Genndy lose always makes me hard.
Das pretty gay, dude
>Seeing Genndy lose always makes me hard.
Lol gay
Imagine writing blocks of text filled assblastery because people like a show and you don’t.

This sounds like a Russian roulette box office risk.
Oh I know, that's exactly what I'm saying though. If he can charm butts into seats for a movie like that, his standing (at least with Sony) will be even more golden than it already is
>For theaters.
>Not streaming exclusive
We don't actually know this yet.
Why do you hate the guy this much
Because Genndy is successful but he failed out of calarts.
Legitimate mental illness. His origin story threads are hilarious. I couldn’t breathe
>DIARRHEA CHA CHA CHA
Wait, that thread about him voluntarily shitting himself at the theater was him?
I remember that thread, it was fucking wild.
Yeah it was great
I remember that thread, but I don't see how that was him.
>It was everything wrong with eleutheromania.
Oh, right. Shit was hilarious anyway.
There's something off about this show but I'm not exactly sure what. Like nothing fits properly.
Straight romance

Amen! Melinda's transformation should have come with a huge clanking suit of black knight armor
>proud of "First born of the unbroken line" title
>proceeds to break said bloodline by fucking a human witch for centuries
It was unbroken up until him
And for all we know, the same king could be ruling as was originally there when the battle against evil first started
Explain
When Dimitri is becoming Edred there's a flash of a Russian castle. Since we've seen glimpses of magic elf land, chances are that was one of Dimitri's memories.
Elves live a long time. Edred probably thought he could afford to fuck around on earth as long as he wanted and still get back to elf kingdom, but episode 7 implies that elf kingdom is screwed.
Then again Melinda is not(?) an elf. I don't know how he'd expect to get pureblood heirs so maybe he abandoned his duties as a while.
>while
whole, fuck
What are you guys getting stuck on? An unbroken line only necessitates that each ruler was the son or daughter of the previous, with nothing like succession crises or unrelated dynasties ruling between them. Nothing indicates that intermixing with non-elves somehow disqualifies that
It also doesn't imply that Edred doesn't have siblings to continue the line.
shitheads acting like this is /a/ and refusing to share the mega links
Why do you keep asking this, it's in the archives.
fuck the archives and fuck you, you're what's wrong with modern Cinemaphile
Edred can engage in ear play but can Winston? Not likely.
Got out the pencils to draw the fox lady for you guys, hope you like it

on second thought, those headlights might be slightly much for a blue board.
Her chest has been sadly (if understandably) overshadowed by the booty. It is good to get some frontal love
Betty Boop
Glad I'm not the only one that thought of this. But man, her eyebrows are killing me. They look so bad. She looks like Betty Boop crossed between Monkey Fist from Kim Possible.
I really, really hate the character designs. And that's 75% the appeal of this show.
>Glad I'm not the only one that thought of this.
You weren't, people have been joking about this since it's announcement
To me, if her design was without the lipstick, she could be more lovely. But that's just me.
Still ugly
Shit taste.
>Kim Possible meets Betty Boop
Genndy really made sure this show appealed to no one.
It appeals to ME
Shh starkiller your dead and also not canon.
I want Melinda to Betty Boop my ballsack.
Nice art!
That doesn't belong to that anon, it's another artist's work being re edited.
Shit
Its not mine
I wish I could draw or edit that good
I want to see what this show could've looked like if they used the UPA artstyle instead
Would have looked even more like shit than it does.
Nah, I think it would've looked cool
Because it totally worked with Danny Phantom and Kim Possible
mega links for each episode?
Going to repeat what someone said a few threads ago and say episodes 3 and 4 have the same basic structure of Emma/Melinda is upset about her confused identity and doesn't want to use her powers but circumstances force her to use her powers to solve a problem but that may have just caused a bigger problem so she's back to being upset.
>It's just this every episode
>The big shakeup to the formula; She breaks Copernicus
Calling it
a elf is trying to cuck him by ego deathing his wife
If this is the new UWE thread I think those theories about Dimitri being Russian nobility might hold some merit
Emmelinda's the type to crush someone with debris, get confused and yell "ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY?"
Imagine laying your head in Emma's lap when you're not feeling good as she gently strokes your hair
Imagine Emma laying her head in your lap when she's not feeling good and gently stroking her eyebrows
Lel
I really want them to keep up the theme of Winston popping up in implausible/dangerous situations because he was following Emma
I can't get the idea of him teaming up with Clarice and the Chinese guy and forming a secondary pseudo-Unicorn team lined up with the old character designs out of my head
>can't break magical barrier with your sorcery
>remember that you ate beans and toast the morning of your wedding, and have been holding it in for at least 12 hours
>press your giant ass against the spell and let nature take it's course...
So what's gonna be the tonal shift in ep 5 that one reviewer was hinting at?
Fucked up traumatic shit that baby Melinda went through probably
Merlin is revealed to be an asshole who perpetually keeps releasing the Evil to keep the new Unicorns fighting it forever. He does it due to the favors from the magic realm
Melinda trauma
the background makes it look like she has a tail. do you think edred would love her even if she had a rat tail?
Edred would oil and massage that tail every night.
Wait
Is the plot twist gonna be that Merlin himself created the evil in the first place?
Clearly taking the piss
I hope
>that Merlin himself created the evil in the first place?
No. Melinda did. It's why the fox and the original Melinda have the same VA.
it becomes a full comedy
"Hints" and such are absolutely meaningless
The show was produced with CN in mind. It will not have been altered to be more grimdark in the short time before it was announced as moving to Adult Swim, so I would strongly advise against hyping yourself up
Emma (and therefore Melinda) will find out through Melinda's memories who Voice really is, and some questions are answered.
I know some people complain about emma's design but she's super cute and I'd like to hold her hand
She's cute it's not her fault the past Melindas were all tall and sleek
Sorry I was too busy fucking your mom’s ass to type properly.

Nice dubs btw.

Hey buddy, you leave edred alone!
Zing!
The show already told you it was the fox cunts fault
Winston is either going to be really annoying for the rest of the season or do something incredibly based in the end.
So far he's been very annoying and just that.
He's going to do something cool and then die right after

Looks to me like the giant thing Alfie saw in the cosmic realm when he was still super high
Maybe the Fox is able to corrupt some of the cosmic beings, since we know she can have a presence there
You're right.
I wonder how Fox did it as they seem somewhat sentient.

Also I genuinely think using Copernicus would be funnier because he's naturally expressionless
Shit youre right
Hang on
Here you go
Do a Melinda just so you can have the trifecta
These are both really fucking good
cute!

Thanks king. Several reincarnation cycles in mspaint

One fucking job.
okay so what i don't get is, they get reincarnated, meaning even if in this era the elf can't see his girl. he'll get to see her in to next if the robot doesn't mess up also, the fact that he already has lived much longer than any normal human means he's been able to have this relationship longer than a normal couple which makes him seem like super asshole for not letting emma be with her fiancé for this one era.
I mean even if you get past the fact he's in love with her and just wants to see her NOW, like a lot of couples would probably try to do whatever they could to see their lover if a situation was off the norm, Melinda being dormant in Emma makes them weaker as a team. So he has every reason to want to fix the situation rather than just hope the cycle works out fine and things go back to normal next time. If his mentality is like Melinda's, they really don't give two fucks about the lives they're hijacking.
>they really don't give two fucks about the lives they're hijacking.
That's my biggest problem with the show. When we see the kid, he has a cockney accent and a tragic backstory of being a good football player but in a poor school and all of that is tossed out the window.
with the kid it makes sense hes not that bothered since he wasn't really doing to well before getting high jacked.
>they really don't give two fucks about the lives they're hijacking.
Unpopular opinion but I like they give no fucks about who they hijack. It gives them a huge brush of gray. The only thing they have the freedom to do once they're in a body is to send private thanks to the poor shmuck whose life they're stealing anyway.
Also I don't no if this is important. But the people they choose seem to be at random, and even that effects them after like the two people bassed their lives in hopes they'll be chosen.
i thought it was implied that there a family lines that are dedicated to being host?
The family is, the way reincarnation works isn't.
Yeah we don't know if they were just basing it off of wisful thinking or not. But it does seem that their descendants are from two different iterations so that makes it so they're atleast aware of lineages between previous/successive times....but again we don't have any proof if any of those people are of the same lineage. Like it's not impossible that the Injun is distantly related to a chinese guy and his great grandchild would be a black orphan that ended up in England....but it's very unlikely.Also one of the guys is a fucking elf.
I think like Alfie and Emma he's also being partially influenced by the fact he's awoken in a younger than usual body.
I guess so. He said something about how his mind feels clouded.
If you trust Melinda's word, she said the evil was intending to "kill all of humanity". Maybe it can grow much bigger in size during its rampages or something.
>she said the evil was intending to "kill all of humanity"
OK, so it WANTS to. That doesn't mean that it has the ABILITY to. If it managed to depopulate a square mile PER MINUTE and kept that pace up forever, it would take more than a century to make a round trip over Earth's land area. Meaning generations would pass before it came by a given area again.
Does Emma have a bone sticking out of her leg?
Sex with the anthro lady.
I gave up on second episode. Does it get better? And be honest. Don’t shill but be honest
When you say "be honest" you just want to hear that it sucks. Just watch it and form your own opinion. Or don't and go on with your life.
What didn’t you like? It’s pretty much the same show in all respects to me so I don’t know what I can point to and say it’s done a total 180 on to entice you if you just don’t like it
How can Melinda even compete?
SOURCE??
>still no response
Unicorn threads are nothing but stolen fan art that's impossible to trace back because artists don't sign their shit and anons don't cite the art they share.
Shows get the threads they deserve
Can you not just reverse image search?
Perhaps the English aren't such terrible creatures after all...
SNIFF
The modern term is thick you harlot.
TIL
We all agree we hopefully get some Melinda porn out of this at least?
Doesnt industryfag ever take break
He's not real. He only exists in your feverish little mind.
I dont think he has a job, this is basically all he does all day.
>Emma/Melinda is stuck choosing between Edred and Winston
>suddenly a new, better choice pops up
Honestly sad that this is the best thing he could think of to do with all that free time.
the robot updated is os from w7 to w11 rookie mistake
What
that's what went wrong with the wedding.
>humans no matter the time or place have an inherent need to worship a god, therefore it's all made up
Sweetie
Zombie elephant was definitely bad but so far the show is skewing more towards Unicorn being the bigger problem. Emma probably got all those people on the ship killed.
They'll probably just cut to them immediately saving all the shipwrecked survivors by the start of next episode. She can't have a moral freak-out over nearly harming a small family only to inadvertently murder an entire crew and move on like it's no big deal.
Actually, the Kraken was saving that ship from almost hitting an ice berg out at sea. Just like the Titanic!
?t=76
Emma truly did summon a horror!
I hate that I understood this reference without opening the link.
Me too, I actually knew it from watching the nostalgia critic review when I was a young teen. Damn I had bad taste back then
Copernicus is going to SHOOT Winston.
Is the soundtrack out there somewhere?
I could listen to their theme/leitmotiv for hours.
>industrycuck is a kiddie groomer
Yeah that tracks.
Wait, him self inserting as a 12 year old in milf porn wasn't a big enough tip off?
How fucking retarded and obsessed are you that you keep derailing genndy threads you jobless waste?
I only go into these threads to look for pictures of dimitri but I almost never see any and that's why these threads are bad
So speaking of which, presumably there's a pair of recently worn bloomers and a chemise lying deserted somewhere on a damp London street corner?
Someone probably picked it up moments later and had it for sale in their shop window
Why, anon, your closet looking a little empty?
Ok what the hell has UWE done to attract such schizos? It's been mostly under the radar so far.
Its one schizo derailing the threads constantly with mod approval.
Quite frankly if the mods dont wanna do anything about him then might as well make the threads actively worse until they cant ignore it anymore.
Being a good show by an industry veteran
better version
Very nice
thanks, it's a crop from
I need to know whether this is Dimitri's influence or did Edred actually charm Melinda with this.
Lol, looks like the jannies finally woke up at least.
Nice.
Dimitri has struggled ever since the stroke
Edred would be far more horrified if Dimitri started to retake control and kept showing off kitschy magic tricks to his elf subjects
Elf bitch got in Winston's way
imagine if Dimitri started taking control of his body back from Edrid and double cucking him. i'd be able to ignore how awful this show looks just to see that
>Everyone takes hard hits to the head
>Melinda in control of Emma
>Dmitri wakes up with a blue dick
>How much she hates his wacky antics only makes him simp harder
>Edred screams into the void and nothingness of being soul trapped behind the eyes of another woman
screams into the void and nothingness of being soul trapped behind the eyes of another woman
Well now you have me picturing each soul getting mixed up between hosts.
>Edred in Emma
>Seng in Dmitri
>Melinda in Alfie
>bodyjack + bodyswap
Dear god.
I'm surprised it took this long to mention Dimitri/Melinda. This is the single pairing to smash them all.
If nothing else, the weirdness of the bodyjackings and implications thereof will fuel interest in this show for years to come.
>Melinda rejecting his advances up until the point it's revealed as mock protest.
Pursuing male standoffish female is an instant recipe for entertainment. Dmitri would also be a much more fun out of depth protagonist to follow with the more direct power curve of learning how the magical sword works.
...We've come full circle to the fact the show would be cool if it had the same setups but a male lead didn't we.
screams into the void and nothingness of being soul trapped behind the eyes of another woman
>get in the genndy mind prison
Edred's easily the most popular so hopefully there will be plenty of shirtless art after we get that scene.
Tbf Edred already does a lot of magic himself (or his sword does). I was actually surprised by that.
>Self insert art of people being possessed by Edred
THERE WAS A LINE WHERE WE NEEDED TO STOP AND MOTHERFUCKERS HAVE CROSSED IT
CONDUCTOR WE HAVE A PROBLEM, I NEED TO GET OFF THE RIDE
>Self insert art of people being possessed by Edred
I didn't check the artist's twitter but I don't think this is self-insert stuff, I think it's a joke about an ageless warrior elf prince reincarnating into a nerd.
To add to this, if the cycle does continue they'll be fewer and fewer fighters or warrior-like people in the modern world at this point, they'd just be body-hijacking either socially awkward weirdos or typical average normies.
I mean the current iteration none of them are actual warriors. The closest they have is a schoolboy who just so happens to be an athlete/criminal. Emma is a sheltered Aristocrat and Dmitry is a street magician.
I'd give up my body to a bodyjacking ghost to get a bodyjacking ghost gf.
This is a strange way to sell your soul to demon wi to out realizing how heavy of a contract you’re signing.
Verification not required ت
Picture the implications of one of them bodyjacking a really fat guy or a paraplegic. That would make some good entertainment.
See now that would actually be interesting because it's a fair bet that the magic of the transformation would fix an injury like that, or slim up the host
And if none of, just having any of the main trio's ability to fly would be life changing for any number of people
I doubt the magic would slim up any host or fix their legs, since the most it seems to do is change hair length and skin color for eddred. It's really only a problem for Eddred too since Melinda and Xeng's powerset is more mental than physical and they can fly everywhere. Eddred would need to constantly command his sword to escort him about if he couldn't use his legs.
I wouldn't say nuanced more as less invested. If you don't care much for animation, I can see you saying "yeah it's pretty good...nothing spectacular" whereas if you're hype about animation Genndy is both an old favorite and Unicorn is constantly jerking you off with allusions to old animation/comics. Like Normalfags are the kind of people who will called older animation bad on the principle it's older, so I wouldn't exactly call that nuanced.
>nuance discussion
I guess, bet I can’t understand how you can look at Unicorn and say that it’s better than the action of Samurai Jack or the raw emotion and brutality of Primal. Unicorn feels like a bunch of ideas that are half baked but don’t commit to anything
>bodyjacking a really fat guy
>M’linda
Perfection
I think back to that pic of some fat asian dude with some small girl backed against a wall
>I dress way better than most of these humans running out there but these douchebags still get the women...
>Copernicus approaches a prospective host and prepares to awaken their Unicorn soul; circa 2013
>Copernicus will never drop off your new GMILF teacher wife and your numerous ready-made grandchildren at your door
*with the assumption that they retain some or most of their original personality like Alfie or Emma
I want to fuck Edred
>dropped from 230-something to 504th place on IMDb popularity
Well, it’s unicover. But seriously the speed that this is dropping off is impressive, I knew this show wasn’t super popular but damn.
>reading reviews of UWE
>audience scores are pretty fair and balanced, barring the occasional “BEST SHOW EVER” reviews immediately after it premiered
>read the critic reviews
>lots of perfect scores, claims that it is Genndy’s best work
Since when were audiences more nuanced than critics? The thought that this is Genndy’s best is hilarious to me. UWE isn’t bad by any means but it’s nowhere near Samurai Jack, Primal or Sym Bionic Titan
perhaps the critics have seen the entire show?
Anon I have a hard time believing that in 6 episodes that the entire show is going to become so good it not only makes up for the first four, but also puts it above everything else.
it's a reverse modern Gendy show, the ending will make the entire show worth it
Requesting Winston wearing the Burger King crown
He's going to start fucking the fox and become evil.
The main character designs are all awful. The world is also boring as fuck.
>takes over your fiancé
fuck you bitch
Millions must give up their bodies.
I can't wait to see more of Melinda, be it in the show or fan art.
So uh does Copernicus have an onahole folded away somewhere for strategic deployment?
Feels like he's about to call me an n'wah.
>Come Warrior, wife or Emma, come. Come and look upon the Unicorn, and bring Melinda, I have missed her.
Calm down Edred...

You mean second best.
Aku isn’t a girl
Aku's a woman in that pic.
YOU CLEARLY HAVE NOT WATCHED SEASON 5
>Lol! I find a giant fat ugly dinosaur sexy! Look how quirky and degenerate I am! Thanks for the ms. Cinemaphile gold kind stranger!
Literally who?

Yes

You got that right
>ugly
Objectively wrong
Josephine is based
Your salt is not
Even if he was doing it purely to troll, you getting all pissy is just playing right into it
>even if he was doing it to troll
I’m not.
I kinda feel like getting a trip for Genndy related threads.
Man I'm not even into her I just find her personality charming and her dynamic with Spear the best
The ms. Cinemaphile salt is the gift that keeps on giving.
Anyone denying that Fang had genuine coomers behind her wasnt in the Primal threads.
I never said she didn't have coomers numb nuts I was in those threads, just that I like her for non dinofucking reasons
I was speaking generally, I wasnt accusing you. I didnt mean to make it sound that way, thats my bad.
No no it's my bad primal Anon I forgot who was above me in the chain and misread your post. But yeah the salt around Ms. Cinemaphile was real, really fun time to be In the threads tho.
>Dimitri is dead guys, he's never coming back
Blessed Dimitri. Our guy is still alive and kicking in there
Brilliant catch, anon
STILL THE BEST 1890
Wow that's actually glaringly obvious, can't believe I didn't pick up on it
altho, it probably just means some of Dimitri's personality is blended in. He's most likely in a non-aware coma state as Melinda said Emma should be
If Dimitri's personality is leaking through, he isn't staying comatose for long. I don't think these holes in the personality patch are supposed to happen.
This is actually legitimately disturbing wtf
Down to the smallest details
kek i noticed that too
Hope to see more of Dimitri's personality breaking out over the course of the series
There was also that flash of some kind of Russian onion-dome palace when Dimitri got transformed too. There's a story there, that couldn't be for no reason right? Possible Dimitri is some kind of royalty himself who ran away and did street magic for money.
>Dimitri is likely running around going mad inside a hellish castle mindscape rn
Was all that ass moving really necessary?
Yes.
Absolutely
I want to make love with a british girl unprotected.
