Wasn't the whole thing about someone fucking a bear and its horrific offspring started hunting and killing a ship full of men going insane from tainted meat making it go insane too?
It was a supernatural monster that guarded the arctic and was vaguely under the control of the Inuit. In the book, It didn't resemble a bear - in the book the sailors don't call it a bear. It's "that thing" or "the terror".
I liked the part in the book where they had a costume party on the ship and gradually they notice that The Terror is there in the room with them, watching them.
It was during the big tent event. The show had it too but didn't have The Terror make an appearence. But yes, it was a really fantastic moment I'm sad the show skipped. The monster sort of fucks off for the entire middle of the show.
The carnivale is one of the only parts of the book I like better than the show. It was supposed to be far more surreal and Lynchian. I suspect it was cut down a lot for budget reasons.
it kinda was, tuunbaq took on the form of the most fearsome creature he could find on earth. he was way bigger and something about him looked terrifying, but we're never told exactly what
the monster in the show was just retarded
>something about him looked terrifying, but we're never told exactly what
Yeah we are, it's a gigantic polar near that walks upright and has am extended neck
I think he just wanted to showcase the creepiness of the neck extending. It doesn't mean it's likely thay all the time

This guy's got a point. The book just stresses that it has an unusually long neck, not that it's some fucking animorph shit.
It looks like a polar bear, but bigger than one has ever been recorded. It's got a longer neck than normally expected for a polar bear.
Fuck the neck though, the thing the show really missed is that just as much as the neck is mentioned, the head is said to be unusually triangular in shape with soulless black eyes.
That's why the manbearpig head is a mistake. Just like the exaggerated body (that can walk on two legs), the head and neck are also ursine but exaggerated. Pointy head like a bear but wider and longer, a long snout and wide-set skull, and eyes that are death.
The one on the show has a fucking face and pupils. It doesn't scream unearthly it just screams retarded.
The show is kino overall though.

They should have gone with the same direction as the first Alien: to barely even show what the monster looks like. Would keep it mystical and terrifying because your brain does the rest. That would be a way to do the Tuunbaq justice.

The point was, it idnd't need to be a magic fucking bear monster and could've just been a regular bear
It doesn't have to be a regular bear. It could be the biggest and scariest bear in the entire arctic, that the natives know about and avoid. It could be 2 bears so that the crew kills one and is lulled into deceptive security. There are so, so many options before you get to literal demons and magic.
I fucking hate people like you, who need every supernatural thing to be Scooby Doo crap where it turns out actually it was fake, or it was all a dream/hallucination.
Do you think the author of the original story was forced by circumstance to add a supernatural bear demon to a historical narrative? The fucking story is based on real events, but with supernatural elements. However well you think the author and the showrunners managed to incorporate these elements, the fact is that they created the book and the show on their own terms. The fact that you don't like the idea doesn't mean it's invalid, or that the inclusion of supernatural elements was some kind of mistake. Do you sit in front of your TV watching Gladiator and say "there weren't film cameras in Roman times actually"? Why don't you give your keyboard to an adult to keep until you can formulate a coherent thought?
Better yet make it be multiple bears so they think it's an immortal monster that never gets hurt instead of a bunch of hungry polar bears who can smell rotting stores.
>Why didn’t they use a real fucking bear?
1. The book has some woo spirit nonsense.
2. People would get angry because polar bears are endangered and look cute.
>It refuses to act, eats all the catering, mauls a few extras and shits on the set
Jared Harris can do whatever he wants on set so long as his performance is kino.
Only problem is they shot multiple polar bears in real life and in the book. They weren’t horror monsters. The British rifle they carried was .50 cal and the bears weren’t much of a match for it.
the first two were actually solid, really wacky and nonsensical, but I can appreciate the attempt and mindfucky stuff in sci-fi instead of boring low-concept shit
didn't bother with the endymion ones since everyone said they were shit
A huge aggressive polar bear that just kills everything it sees would have worked just as well as some kind of recurring monster. >"Beware Ilitkusik. His mind has left him, replaced by evil spirits."
Like that.
They did but it took the entire rest of the series to reload. These were 1840 pattern Brown Bess muskets. When Crozier finally reloaded his musket he shot the bear again and lived happily ever after with Lady Silence.
Something I didn’t pick up on until I read about it is that the Tuunbaq absorbs the souls of its victims as well as taking on their physical strength
So the irony is that because the whole crew had been dying of lead poisoning from the badly sealed canned foods, as the Tuunbaq ate more and more of the crew, it became weaker and more mad and delirious, just like the crew.
This is why he’s weak enough to even take on and win in the end (I don’t think he gets killed in the novel, he’s a much more spiritual creature who is basically immortal)
The Terror is one of my favorite shows to rewatch.
It has a cast of like 30 people and it gives every single one of them some kind of character trait or subplot.
>b-but it's like that in the book
Fuck the book, massive let-down. >wow this monster is scary, but the ice-master managed to escape it in that epic sequence, maybe there's hope for the crew after this small victory? >nope lol it's hopeless they all die >hmm, these characters are discussing how there might be an evolutionary explanation for such a creature in the remote edges of the earth, interesting >nope it is in fact literal unambiguous magic, mystery ruined! >I really like these cool side characters, I wonder what role they'll play down the line >nothing! they all die without doing anything and the boring whiny alcoholic magical gary stu captain is the special one who gets to exposition-dump the shitty conclusion

my complaints have infinitely more substance than anything you've brought to the table so far
The only problem was the weird face. They tried to go for "looks eerily human" but it just didn't come out too well. This minor point is the only negative in the entire season. Great, great show.
The most disgusting thing about Reddit is when they start to reply with puns or movie quotes to each other and retards like them up vote like crazy. Fuck you guys.
If I made this exact same lame joke I'd get maybe 2 (You)s at best. But no, aren't you special. I'm willing to bet you replied to yourself like 15 times until it eventually "caught on" and all these other homosexuals started replying.

This. Realism fags are retarded. Without the superbear there'd be no show. Nobody would watch 200 guys who get stuck in ice and are doomed since the first episode. The superbear being the antagonist gives the sailors a possible chance to escape their situation and act.
The piece of shit bear was supposed to represent the arctic cold and I will fight every single retard who disagrees.
The main characters barely wear hats or cover their ears when water can freeze, this is some Americuck bullshit.
t. experience -20°C every year
it was just a normal polar bear.
did you forget that they were all loopy from lead poisoning? maybe you didn't eat enough paint chips as a kid, you have no frame of reference.
It's supposed to be one of the last shortfaced bears you fucking simpleton. Daily reminder your chadcestors fought those irl with sticks while you can't even fight your way out of bed on the weekend.
the true nature of the creature. It is called the Tuunbaq, a demon created millennia ago by the Esquimaux goddess Sedna to kill her fellow spirits, with whom she had become angry. After a war lasting 10,000 years, the other spirits defeated the Tuunbaq, and it turned back on Sedna, who banished it to the Arctic wastes. There, the Tuunbaq began preying on the Esquimaux until their most powerful shamans discovered a way to communicate with the demon. By sacrificing their tongues to the beast and promising to stay out of its domain, these shamans were able to stop the Tuunbaq's rampage.
I was always under the impression that polar bears were unmatched and just killed and ate whatever they wanted. But recently I watched a documentary about the arctic and it featured a pretty long battle between a polar bear and a walrus. The polar kept trying to bite the walrus around the neck but it's skin was too thick. The walrus repeatedly gouged and stabbed the polar bear with his tusks. Eventually the polar bear retreated and bled out from his wounds. It was brutal.
Guessing the hippo takes it. There's a reason why these cunts are one of the most dangerous animals on the planet.
Hippos also have ~300-600 kilos on a walrus and are much more mobile on land. Only way a walrus wins is if they're in deep water as hippos only have 5 minutes of oxygen versus 30 for a walrus.
people seem to forget that animals are generally not dumb. yeah a polar bear could win pretty much any fight it wants, but what good is winning an individual fight if you lose an eyeball in the process. there is no healthcare, no doctors, none of that shit for a polar bear, and its really, really fucking easy to lose an eyeball to as something as tiny as a bird.
hear those wacky smaller tropical sloth bears are the most aggressive
but more akin to a wolf/medium-sized cat and not an actual threat like in the north
Sir John was 100% right here.
Imagine a Crozier who didn't send the first 2 years stuck in the ice drunk and depressed. One that could lead his men to safety immediately.
You are the worst kind of anon. You abuse your anonimity. You complain in the safety of your shitposting. You claim you have watched the show when you obviously haven't and you're weak in your shitposting BECAUSE Cinemaphile affords you anonimity... YOU'VE MADE YOURSELF A SHITPOSTER, and a bad one at that, and you blame the show for it. I'm not the shitposter you are, Anon, never will be, but you will never be fit for this thread. And as your fellow Anon... I take some responsibility for that. For the VANITY of your outlook, I should have reported your post rather than write this novel, because you seem to have confused my sympathy with tolerance, BUT THERE'S A LIMIT TO HOW MUCH I CAN TOLERATE, AND THAT IS WHERE WE ARE PRESENTLY STANDING. There are some things we were never meant to be to one another. I see that now. Quality posting on my side, shitposting on yours.
So let us turn our energies on what this thread requires of us. We should give that our best. There can be no argument between us there.
The Terror and Chernobyl releasing so close was unmatched kino, the threads were perfect. When will this historical event kino wave strike again so i have something to watch
They had to reach trading routes and settlements. To be honest I'm kinda surprised none of them made it. Barely anyone reached the continent. There are so many stories of far greater resiliance but I suppose they were not equipped with adequate clothing for a land-based expedition.
Even if they sent out a party when Crozier first asked, they were fucked. Their destination was a trading outpost on the Great Slave Lake down in Manitoba. And once they got there they would still have to get word all the way to London to get a rescue party coming. Then said rescue party would have to get their crew and equipment together, sail across the Atlantic, and find the expedition
>Then said rescue party would have to get their crew and equipment together, sail across the Atlantic, and find the expedition
not really, another whaling ship in the area would be given money to go help them out.
can you imagine a sailor eating like that for 3 years eating a nice carribean/indian/middle eastern curry at the port on arrival? must've had them cumming in their pants.
what a life
can you imagine a sailor fucking nothing for 3 years meeting a nice carribean/indian/middle eastern girl at the island on arrival? must've had them cumming in their pants
It being supernatural made the ending infinitely more kino. Watching Crozier, the effective last survivor of the entire voyage, put the last of his strength into finishing off what was probably the last supernatural being left in the world, after it's been shot and stabbed and poisoned as part of an inevitable confrontation between manifest destiny and virgin nature, at the edge of the fucking world, is the most cathartic "It's finally over" moment I've ever seen. That the confrontation is also a representation of Crozier's battle with his own inner demons only makes it that much more emotional.
None of that emotion would have been created if the story was 100% historically accurate. If the monster was literally just a polar bear then it would have been shot dead by episode 3.
Because it wasn't a bear
>it wasn't a bear
are you sure
youre an idiot.
Says the idiot that forgot ' between you and re! It's You're you idiot!!
Wasn't the whole thing about someone fucking a bear and its horrific offspring started hunting and killing a ship full of men going insane from tainted meat making it go insane too?
no, I think the premise was it was some kind of skin walker thing, it was definitely paranormal
The fact that it has a human face kind of gives it away.
It was a supernatural monster that guarded the arctic and was vaguely under the control of the Inuit. In the book, It didn't resemble a bear - in the book the sailors don't call it a bear. It's "that thing" or "the terror".
I liked the part in the book where they had a costume party on the ship and gradually they notice that The Terror is there in the room with them, watching them.
It was during the big tent event. The show had it too but didn't have The Terror make an appearence. But yes, it was a really fantastic moment I'm sad the show skipped. The monster sort of fucks off for the entire middle of the show.
The carnivale is one of the only parts of the book I like better than the show. It was supposed to be far more surreal and Lynchian. I suspect it was cut down a lot for budget reasons.
>But yes, it was a really fantastic moment I'm sad the show skipped.
"I say Goodsir, see that man over their in the white coat wearing a cheap carnival mask on his snout and standing 8ft tall. Why is he twerking."
it's played more like everyone is super wasted on rum and then they look around and there's one extra guy who's kinda fuzzy and no one can recognize
And the tuunbaq doesn't attack them?
It had a clever mask on so they were serving it drinks and it was too buzzed to attack until someone called it out
I can't tell if you are shitposting or not.
It was just watching them and only attacked when the sailors noticed he wasn't actually one of them?
>It didn't resemble a bear
it does. it just also has a really long neck and is impossibly big.
>oh my god, it is it! The Terror!
What schlock
I understood it as an incarnate representation of the nature of the area and how it fought and withered down the crew
>In the book, It didn't resemble a bear
did you even read it?
i liked the part where they sent the creature to rekt the other tribes whilst the perpetrators hid
>Because it wasn't a bear
unless a frost giant from Jötunheimr fucked the bear then that should just have been a bear. Nothing more.
it kinda was, tuunbaq took on the form of the most fearsome creature he could find on earth. he was way bigger and something about him looked terrifying, but we're never told exactly what
the monster in the show was just retarded
>something about him looked terrifying, but we're never told exactly what

The book had a lot of spiritual themeing from the Natives that was cut out that sort of ruined the allegory of the terror existing.
Maybe the real Terror was the natives we met along the way.
If it was just a regular bear, 2 ships full of armed men wouldn't have been fucking devastated by it.
It doesn't have to be a regular bear. It could be the biggest and scariest bear in the entire arctic, that the natives know about and avoid. It could be 2 bears so that the crew kills one and is lulled into deceptive security. There are so, so many options before you get to literal demons and magic.
what's wrong with demons and magic?
Nothing but it's a pollutant in my historical fiction.
i think they did a shitty job with the bear in the show, it's way better in the book
how would a regular polar bear do the things that happen in the show/book? it would just get shot
I fucking hate people like you, who need every supernatural thing to be Scooby Doo crap where it turns out actually it was fake, or it was all a dream/hallucination.

How would you have written a fictional account of the Terror, then?
...so was this supposed to be a supernatural deity bear, a deformed mutant normal bear, or a lead hallucination bear?
Realistically?
when you are mad on lead can you really tell the difference if it is you, a bear or a super natural bear killing and eating your fellow crew members?
I don't know, it was dumb as fuck.
A huge aggressive polar bear that just kills everything it sees would have worked just as well as some kind of recurring monster.
>"Beware Ilitkusik. His mind has left him, replaced by evil spirits."
Like that.
Because while polar bears are a threat, dozens of men with guns will take it down without many casualties. It doesn't work unless it's supernatural.

In the book it is just white man bad. Not even joking, the souls of white men are poison
I thought they would skip the soul-sucking in the show, but then the diver's death showed him going all wibbly-wobbly, it was a neat surprise.

the true nature of the creature. It is called the Tuunbaq, a demon created millennia ago by the Esquimaux goddess Sedna to kill her fellow spirits, with whom she had become angry. After a war lasting 10,000 years, the other spirits defeated the Tuunbaq, and it turned back on Sedna, who banished it to the Arctic wastes. There, the Tuunbaq began preying on the Esquimaux until their most powerful shamans discovered a way to communicate with the demon. By sacrificing their tongues to the beast and promising to stay out of its domain, these shamans were able to stop the Tuunbaq's rampage.

You try taming a polar bear.
no u try taming a polar bear
It doesn't end well.
oh n-
why do seals have to be so fucking cute man, i want to save him
Based seal.
>projecting human qualities on wild animals solely intent on immediate survival
even Sir David should know better than to be doing this
That's every Attenborough narrated series for the past decade. Honestly I find them unwatchable for that reason, and the overbearing music.
I wouldn't put anything past a man who arranged for walruses to be chased off a cliff.
>overbearing music.
This. I can't stand background music. It's like a laugh track.
>feel happy
>feel sad
>feel excited
Hate it.
where is he going
His destiny
Holy fuck. Never thought I’d see that.
Jesus Christ look at those fucking rail road spikes
Just whip a Pokeball at it's head and it'll be my mate for life.
I was always under the impression that polar bears were unmatched and just killed and ate whatever they wanted. But recently I watched a documentary about the arctic and it featured a pretty long battle between a polar bear and a walrus. The polar kept trying to bite the walrus around the neck but it's skin was too thick. The walrus repeatedly gouged and stabbed the polar bear with his tusks. Eventually the polar bear retreated and bled out from his wounds. It was brutal.
damn polar bear got cucked
What about a hippo vs a walrus?
Polar bear bite force: 1200 PSI
Hippo bite force: 1800 PSI
Guessing the hippo takes it. There's a reason why these cunts are one of the most dangerous animals on the planet.
Hippos also have ~300-600 kilos on a walrus and are much more mobile on land. Only way a walrus wins is if they're in deep water as hippos only have 5 minutes of oxygen versus 30 for a walrus.
Could kick the shit out of both of those homosexuals
like a windrammer as you fuck
>t.
do not fuck with:
indian cobra
polar bears
hippos
really do not fuck with:
walrusses
cattle
stingrays
>stingrays
too soon bro
Depends on how desperate they are for food
people seem to forget that animals are generally not dumb. yeah a polar bear could win pretty much any fight it wants, but what good is winning an individual fight if you lose an eyeball in the process. there is no healthcare, no doctors, none of that shit for a polar bear, and its really, really fucking easy to lose an eyeball to as something as tiny as a bird.
hear those wacky smaller tropical sloth bears are the most aggressive
but more akin to a wolf/medium-sized cat and not an actual threat like in the north
smart bear
home
>Watch it Hickey
Sir John was 100% right here.
Imagine a Crozier who didn't send the first 2 years stuck in the ice drunk and depressed. One that could lead his men to safety immediately.
You are the worst kind of anon. You abuse your anonimity. You complain in the safety of your shitposting. You claim you have watched the show when you obviously haven't and you're weak in your shitposting BECAUSE Cinemaphile affords you anonimity... YOU'VE MADE YOURSELF A SHITPOSTER, and a bad one at that, and you blame the show for it. I'm not the shitposter you are, Anon, never will be, but you will never be fit for this thread. And as your fellow Anon... I take some responsibility for that. For the VANITY of your outlook, I should have reported your post rather than write this novel, because you seem to have confused my sympathy with tolerance, BUT THERE'S A LIMIT TO HOW MUCH I CAN TOLERATE, AND THAT IS WHERE WE ARE PRESENTLY STANDING. There are some things we were never meant to be to one another. I see that now. Quality posting on my side, shitposting on yours.
So let us turn our energies on what this thread requires of us. We should give that our best. There can be no argument between us there.
Anyone done a Jannie version yet?
It's a shame Sir John was reassigned from Tasmania. He is still loved there.
Goodsir was a naturalist. This is the happy place.
Because they were all suffering from heavy metal poisoning one of the symptoms of which is hallucinations.
>143 posts and not a single one called the monster by the correct name
My boy Tupaac doesn't deserve this bullshit.
i don't think they have beers in antartica
the terror is trash
the north water is ten times better. quality over quantity. and no shitty cgi monster bullshit.
Go to bed Colin you're drunk.
The Terror and Chernobyl releasing so close was unmatched kino, the threads were perfect. When will this historical event kino wave strike again so i have something to watch
You WILL eat the tinned rations
You WILL trust the science
Those carrots look deadly.
add salt
i never realised how brilliant it is for the show to open with a big officer's dinner
>ywn have what they had
Scurvy, I mean. And that's a good thing.
jesus they never had a chance
They had to reach trading routes and settlements. To be honest I'm kinda surprised none of them made it. Barely anyone reached the continent. There are so many stories of far greater resiliance but I suppose they were not equipped with adequate clothing for a land-based expedition.
Those winters were colder than the ones before or after, and the closest trade settlement was too far away.
Even if they sent out a party when Crozier first asked, they were fucked. Their destination was a trading outpost on the Great Slave Lake down in Manitoba. And once they got there they would still have to get word all the way to London to get a rescue party coming. Then said rescue party would have to get their crew and equipment together, sail across the Atlantic, and find the expedition
>Then said rescue party would have to get their crew and equipment together, sail across the Atlantic, and find the expedition
not really, another whaling ship in the area would be given money to go help them out.
YOU'LL EAT YOUR SHOES AGAIN
>YOU'LL EAT WORSE
Y-yamero!

Jared Harris is so good
He is
Did you guys ever see the "ice" promo pics actually used anywhere?
Why did he do it?
what the FUUUCK was his problem?
these seem like adequate supplies...
Hello, scurvy.
Drink your lemon juice, bugger
i think the rations look tasty
can you imagine a sailor eating like that for 3 years eating a nice carribean/indian/middle eastern curry at the port on arrival? must've had them cumming in their pants.
what a life
can you imagine a sailor fucking nothing for 3 years meeting a nice carribean/indian/middle eastern girl at the island on arrival? must've had them cumming in their pants
I still don't understand this part
it's a callback to the first episode when david young was going to die
It being supernatural made the ending infinitely more kino. Watching Crozier, the effective last survivor of the entire voyage, put the last of his strength into finishing off what was probably the last supernatural being left in the world, after it's been shot and stabbed and poisoned as part of an inevitable confrontation between manifest destiny and virgin nature, at the edge of the fucking world, is the most cathartic "It's finally over" moment I've ever seen. That the confrontation is also a representation of Crozier's battle with his own inner demons only makes it that much more emotional.
None of that emotion would have been created if the story was 100% historically accurate. If the monster was literally just a polar bear then it would have been shot dead by episode 3.
Cheers
no homo but id let francis spit in my mouth
>Royal Marines mutinying
Found it less believable than the tuunbaq
I think the design works better in darker lighting
Love James Fitzjames
Reminder:
>Why didn’t they use a real fucking bear?
retard's need magic and other supernatural bullshit to be entertained.
The actors would’ve been eaten alive
