>Knowing things
It's a speculative factoid which is impossible to establish. You can't know this to be the absolute reason, nobody can.
It's not "knowing things" because it's not knowledge. It's just more "I hecking love soience" fluff that exists only to be repeated in conversation because it sounds cool and soiency. There are a million similar factoids floating around on the internet about history, physics, space, etc.
It doesn't even make sense. Most of the prehistoric inhabitable world (i.e., around wildlife) would be green. It makes sense that they'd distinguish green shades for pretty much every facet of life. The predators that prehistoric humans have faced have largely NOT been green, so why would distinguishing between shades of green even be the most important thing in detecting them?
Yeah she explains it in the literal sense, the predator bullshit, which by the way sounds like old-wives-tale-nonsense and has no basis in reality. But she fails to actually connect why Malvo would say that.

it's just a threat like almost anything else that comes out of his mouth
This is wrong by the way. Predators aren't green, as long as you can see green you can see them. Should have focused on face recognition, fear of the dark, etc.The green thing is more about depth perception in forests.
Man's built like a chemo patient. Who's buying this shit?
He has super strength. Did you see the scene where he pulls a 300ib fat guy for like a mile with one hand?
As someone who plays Dead By Daylight you'll probably like all the dumb supernatural shit the moronic writer threw into all the other seasons, just because he misunderstood the point of a scene in the movie.
Aliens were uberkino, bowling alley was megakino, tub ghost was too intrusive but I liked the design.
>aliens swoop down to save character >bowling alley swoops in to save character >evil ghost swoops in to save character >immortal sin eater man swoops in to save character
deus ex machina bullshit, one and all, but at least the immortal was a character unto himself. I agree about the ghost design, though. If they'd just made a show about him and the family he's haunting I would have probably thought it was great.
Yeah, and it's not like they couldn't just have had the dude get momentarily distracted by some weirdly moving lights in the sky just like in the first episode, giving the sheriff his opening. They didn't have to have a flying saucer come down and shine a light straight at the two of them. Then it would have been like the rain of fish. Weird shit that can have some natural explanation but characters themselves interpret them as unnatural.
The Sin Eater doesn't count because he's his season's random supernatural inclusion that saves the MC, right? Otherwise he must be pretty high just on account of surviving for all those centuries and never losing an ear before.
Season 4 is a mediocre show on its own but more importantly it's simply not Fargo at all. Fargo thrives on the simple idea of regular small-town people getting embroiled with organised criminals from bigger cities. In S4 we instead follow two gangs having a war from right from the start.
It's weird because they could have just focused on the mortuary family and have them ignite and then try to survive a gang war because of the outlaw sister trying to help them pay off a loan by robbing the wrong people, making them initially think it was the other gang pulling the hit.
I still don't understand what the frick the point of the Wizard of Oz episode was, beyond being some random padding.
>noo you have to be buff to kill someone in an ambush
you are the prey who can't recognise the predator because he doesn't stand out as big and scary enough
As someone who plays Dead By Daylight you'll probably like all the dumb supernatural shit the moronic writer threw into all the other seasons, just because he misunderstood the point of a scene in the movie.
What, you don't want supernatural stuff to be thrown in to make the story random and more "realistic" as a "based on a true story" story? Even thought they all end up saving an MC from certain death, thus making them the least random part of each season?
>leave the office 5 minutes early to be at the gate eaxactly at 5pm to clock out >coworker says that's against the rules > there are no rules, we used to be gorillas
What whatever happens to the fat god fearing grocery store owner guy? Where did that money he took off the side of the road even come from? Dude kinda just disappeared off the show after his son and bodyguard dies from fish rain
>"Hey Lester its me your inexplicably single local Minnesotan Asian supermodel coworker, sorry to hear your wife got brutally murdered with a hammer, want to come over for chili Saturday?"
What do?
They're mostly weird lights in the background, except for the fact that they cause the whole story to happen and then show up in the finale to cap it off. It's mostly baffling that they exist because the head writer didn't understand the dinner-date scene in the original movie and so thought he should include them as a purely random element.
It's got moronic elements but also some really fricking good shit so overall it's very worth it. It's the fourth season that completely shits the bed by being about a gang war.
So is the fourth season completely skippable? I always watch everything in order(my normalgay friend admitted he’s only seen season 5 when I told him I loved season 1) but if it has any connection other seasons I’d probably still watch it. For example I heard 2 was a prequel to 1
It's got moronic elements but also some really fricking good shit so overall it's very worth it. It's the fourth season that completely shits the bed by being about a gang war.
Except he's not an autistic force of nature flipping a coin to decide whether to kill someone, he's a psychopath who likes to push people's buttons by talking and acting in the right way. The fact that you think they have anything in common except being killers with bad haircuts just shows how bad your media literacy is.
compare colin hanks' portrayal to the gas station attendant in ncfom, note their nearly identical confused terror, and then go back to r3ddit. you believe the two antagonists are fundamentally different because you're looking at them with surface level scrutiny. they serve the same purpose in their stories, beyond the obvious "ultimate evil kill guy".
5 is better than 4 but they still went too far from the humble beginnings of a small town being drawn into dealings of organised crime that it's not ready for. Instead basically everyone's either a hardened badass or an butthole, except one genuinely nice small town dude and the mandatory cop character. The supernatural stuff was WAY better integrated into the story than previous seasons, but again that shit isn't really Fargo.
Damn, sorry. Didn't mean to spoiler. The cats debagged but it doesn't matter, you'll still never see him coming until the second it happens. You obviously havn't even made it to season 2 if you don't get all seasons are connected tho.
It’s all good bro, I’m asking for it by being in this thread. I just finished the first episode of season 2, seems like it’s gonna be a kino season just like 1. I don’t think any character will live up to Billy Bob Thornton in season 1 for me
It felt like in a DnD game when I don't want my friends girlfriends character to die when she naively jumps into a bad situation (she nice) so I bring back one of my old characters as an NPC to help her out.
Not Omar, he relied entirely on fear which wouldn't phase those three.
Assuming they all knew about each other I'd say Mike since he has CIA technology and an army of disposable henchmen. Lorne and Pawnee would likely decide its not worth the effort and peace out.
I can't say. Anons will be mad with me.
I once got that hair cut back in the mid 80's

Hahaha literally me
I worked 6 months as a gynecologist just to examine the pussy of the girl I liked
Based beyond belief if true
Why did he say that to Lester anyway? When he asked it I initially thought he meant money as the answer
90% of the random monologues in Fargo are just threats
>what do you want?
>have you ever hear of the story of the blacksmith and the pineapple? Well in 18th century Portugal...
Extremely true
Molly explains it later on. Basically the human eye can see many shades of green in order to discern predators in wooded/jungle environments
Is Molly Reddit personified?
Knowing things =/= “Reddit” but I can see why someone as stupid as you are might think that because it would be a convenient excuse if true.
If you like her, you'd probably love Goosebumps. RL Stein invented her archetype.

That's why it's reddit.
Most reddit post in this thread. kys homosexual
wow typical leddit response, good job comrade
She was really alright, basically likeable for her earnestness. Loved it when she mogged Saul by hooking the BBC BBW aficionados from the FBI.
Just watched that scene, I agree it was satisfying. I didn’t expect Key and Peele to show up in this show
They were surprisingly not horrible
>thing X is... LE REDDIT
people like you are ironically and unironically the biggest problem this website has
b-b-but muh company war
He saw himself as a predator playing with a world filled with prey, with most prey unable to spot him until he attacked.
Is it good writing if it takes a decade and some Cinemaphile gay to get me to finally understand it?
molly literally explains it in the same episode or the next one
Yeah she explains it in the literal sense, the predator bullshit, which by the way sounds like old-wives-tale-nonsense and has no basis in reality. But she fails to actually connect why Malvo would say that.
it's just a threat like almost anything else that comes out of his mouth
how could you not get it instantly? is it the show's fault you are so moronic?
They had a character explain it to you just in case you couldn't figure it out on your own and you still couldn't get it, you moronic Black person.
Ah that actually makes perfect sense
literally asked mutiple people why the human eye can see more shades of green than any other animal. They didn`t get it
This is wrong by the way. Predators aren't green, as long as you can see green you can see them. Should have focused on face recognition, fear of the dark, etc.The green thing is more about depth perception in forests.

Reddit character
>gets away with everything because uhh he's the devil or some shit
official fargo powerlevels calculated as combat skills/tactics/grand strategy:
Malvo 5/5/3
Lester 1/5/4
Hanzee 5/5/4 (OP due to racial bias)
Peggy and Ed, 2/4/4 and 4/2/2 respectively
Vargas 1/3/5
Swango 3/4/4
The Sin Eater doesn't count because he's his season's random supernatural inclusion that saves the MC, right? Otherwise he must be pretty high just on account of surviving for all those centuries and never losing an ear before.
haven't watched seasons 4 and 5, everyone says 4 is shit
It's not that bad. It's just very rough.
4 is shit, and not because there are black people. everything is awful
Season 4 is a mediocre show on its own but more importantly it's simply not Fargo at all. Fargo thrives on the simple idea of regular small-town people getting embroiled with organised criminals from bigger cities. In S4 we instead follow two gangs having a war from right from the start.
It's weird because they could have just focused on the mortuary family and have them ignite and then try to survive a gang war because of the outlaw sister trying to help them pay off a loan by robbing the wrong people, making them initially think it was the other gang pulling the hit.
I still don't understand what the frick the point of the Wizard of Oz episode was, beyond being some random padding.
Peggy and Ed is more like 1/1/1 and 2/1/1.
They were just ordinary lunatics that got extremely lucky at times.
they both defeated several professional gang members by themselves and only lost to Hanzee
Varga would get destroyed by Malvo or Hanzee, he's shit against underground agents he can't search on Google
Malvo would destroy chimphanzee and it's not even close. It's the devil vs a demon.
>woman giggles at my weird hair while Im getting groceries
>follow her home and murder her
any movies or other shows with characters like him?
no country for old men
bad santa
Man's built like a chemo patient. Who's buying this shit?
>noo you have to be buff to kill someone in an ambush
you are the prey who can't recognise the predator because he doesn't stand out as big and scary enough
This message only gets funnier as the show goes on. Is season 2 as good as 1?
no
As someone who plays Dead By Daylight you'll probably like all the dumb supernatural shit the moronic writer threw into all the other seasons, just because he misunderstood the point of a scene in the movie.
Frick..I actually don’t think I will like that
What, you don't want supernatural stuff to be thrown in to make the story random and more "realistic" as a "based on a true story" story? Even thought they all end up saving an MC from certain death, thus making them the least random part of each season?
not far off..
Hey it’s Vern Parvo
>german mafia
>sardinian mafia
what next, finnish mafia?
I act like Lorne Malvo every day when I post on Cinemaphile and start 200+ post arguments that I myself do not get involved in
I look exactly like him tho without the plot power it means Im just an ugly guy
same lol
Damn the 2nd season must really suck if a woman that hot thinks it’s good
It's about a thicc lady with big booba, she sympathizes with that
Thick. It is thick you stupid monkey.
Thick = dumb
Thicc = chubby
Thiccc = fat ass
Reprobate
>leave the office 5 minutes early to be at the gate eaxactly at 5pm to clock out
>coworker says that's against the rules
> there are no rules, we used to be gorillas
Wish Lundy/Lou was my dad/grandpa tbh
Also season 3 has the best ending ever, filtered normies properly.
why? The bad guys always die/get caught in Fargo
oh I forgot about Hanzee I guess
Was Hanzee bad? He only kills criminals.
Its implied he became Malvo through plastic surgery and gene therapy. No I'm not kidding.
No he becomes the crime boss that Malvo kills in the office
Only once, when I was 6 and my grandma gave me that same haircut
Huh. Idk why but the ending didn’t quite land for me. Great show overall though
What whatever happens to the fat god fearing grocery store owner guy? Where did that money he took off the side of the road even come from? Dude kinda just disappeared off the show after his son and bodyguard dies from fish rain
He lived the rest of his life realizing the world is still a bad place
>"Hey Lester its me your inexplicably single local Minnesotan Asian supermodel coworker, sorry to hear your wife got brutally murdered with a hammer, want to come over for chili Saturday?"
What do?
Have sex I guess
Date her for a year then cheat on her with hotel floozies
Him killing her was the point of no redemption for Lester despite me not being a big fan of asian women
There’s really aliens in season 2? Lmao I wasn’t super impressed looking at the cast but maybe I’ll watch it afterall
They're mostly weird lights in the background, except for the fact that they cause the whole story to happen and then show up in the finale to cap it off. It's mostly baffling that they exist because the head writer didn't understand the dinner-date scene in the original movie and so thought he should include them as a purely random element.
This one time i chugged a grape sodie just like Malvo
So is season 2 worth watching? I really enjoyed the 1st season but I heard this show turns to shit fast.
season 1 = 10/10
season 2 = 9/10
season 3 = 8/10
season 4 = ---
season 5 = 7.5/10
So is the fourth season completely skippable? I always watch everything in order(my normalgay friend admitted he’s only seen season 5 when I told him I loved season 1) but if it has any connection other seasons I’d probably still watch it. For example I heard 2 was a prequel to 1
It has about the same level of "prequel" stuff to S2 as S2 has to S1.
It's got moronic elements but also some really fricking good shit so overall it's very worth it. It's the fourth season that completely shits the bed by being about a gang war.
the more i watched this show the more i realized hes just a cheap imitation of bardem's portrayal of anton chigurh.
Except he's not an autistic force of nature flipping a coin to decide whether to kill someone, he's a psychopath who likes to push people's buttons by talking and acting in the right way. The fact that you think they have anything in common except being killers with bad haircuts just shows how bad your media literacy is.

I call people up late and have them listen to me shit on people
I've met him.
I loved seasons 1-3, 4 was too busy, didn't even know there was a 5. How's it?
5 is better than 4 but they still went too far from the humble beginnings of a small town being drawn into dealings of organised crime that it's not ready for. Instead basically everyone's either a hardened badass or an butthole, except one genuinely nice small town dude and the mandatory cop character. The supernatural stuff was WAY better integrated into the story than previous seasons, but again that shit isn't really Fargo.
They have to mix it up somehow, can't have the same story with different actors each year like its shakespear in the park
season 5 is woke garbage
I used to not have a problem with Jon Hamm at all but for some reason I’m getting really tired of seeing him in everything.
>Most sinister
Lorne Malvo
>Most powerful
VM Varga
>Most cool
Wrench and Numbers
Wrench and Numbers were the most absolutely based duo in the entire show
Wrench's return was goated and you can't change my mind. It felt so immensely satisfying in ways I can't describe.
>Wrench’s return
Holy shit so the seasons ARE connected somewhat? I thought I’d never seen him again after Malvo let him live
Damn, sorry. Didn't mean to spoiler. The cats debagged but it doesn't matter, you'll still never see him coming until the second it happens. You obviously havn't even made it to season 2 if you don't get all seasons are connected tho.

Love the soundtrack in this show
agreed. I rewatched S1 S2 S3 just recently and was listening to the music a lot. here are some other tracks I really like
>Bemidji, MN (Main theme from S1)
hard to beat this
>Malvo's theme
very slow, methodical. I love the melody of the double bass (??) there in the beginning. kinda cat and mouse, creeping along.
>Lester as Malvo
similar to above, different melodies
>Cymande - Getting It Back
ok let's be real Mike Milligan was pretty cool too. I remember first hearing this song and immediately wanting to play it on my bass.
>Varga
a bit over the top, yet also controlled - as this is how Varga appears to be.
Adding the ones from season 1 into my sleep playlist, thanks for posting these.
not your blog btw
milligan was terrible, completely useless character, smug as frick for no reason
Alright boys, Mike vs Lorne vs Pawnee vs Omar. Whose the top neo-gunslinger?
Not Omar, he relied entirely on fear which wouldn't phase those three.
Assuming they all knew about each other I'd say Mike since he has CIA technology and an army of disposable henchmen. Lorne and Pawnee would likely decide its not worth the effort and peace out.
Pawnee was pretty OP he'd beat Lorne and Mike with his magic
I act just like Dwayne McLaren from Cut Bank. Still waiting on my freaking parcel.
