Why the frick did they have to ruin a good thing? Is Gaiman officially in his hack era? This was a perfect example of two dudes being bros and they had to gay it up for literally no reason or gain.
I've mostly ignored all this forced shit in shows and movies with a simple eyeroll but god damn this is so stupid at this point.

Ima be real with you: Gaiman, Pratchett, both complete hacks that only appeal to nerdy kids of a very specific age range. You simply grew out of it.
Garbage. I still reread Pratchett and get a laugh out of it. There are jokes in discworld you don't even get until you're 40.
Nah Pratchett is great, besides sandman though Gaiman fricking sucks.
Pratchett is great. Why the frick aren't there more and better adaptations of his work?
That's interesting but I was really hoping for a tv series of the guards books (not that shit one that got cancelled) or the witches or Mort. They can even do one off films for Small Gods or the like. The Hogfather one was ok, but it could've used a bigger budget for sure.
I want a nac mac feegle cartoon. super silly cartoon.
don't compare pratchett to gaiman, pratchett actually had a sense of humor and lightheartedness
gaimans always been a salty soggy c**t
pratchett is reddit grognardslop
frick you and your gay fathers who shat you out and felched you back and forth.
Sir Terry is above any reproach. neil is a cuck and a gay who grovels for his minghag wife.
It's true
Gaiman tried to frick my Sister when she was in college. Surprised she didn't go for it tbh.
Nah buddy, good bait though
Gayman was always overrated.
His only "good" book was American Gods which was really just 800 pages of edgy atheism.
His graphic novels were good, but overrated. And the fact he hasn't hesitated for a second before selling them off to be butchered by hacks says a lot about what he thought about them himself.
Good Omens was the best thing he ever did, it was always clear that Pratchett was the genius behind it's humour, but now it's clear that Gayman didn't even get the jokes.
I didn't bother to watch Season 2 btw. Never give actors a big budget to do a passion project.
Well let me summarize it for you The show continues with a good plot of Gabriel coming down to earth naked with no memory of who he is and a subplot of them hiding him using a miracle they say is to get 2 lesbos together. Leads to a build up of this b***h trying to take crowleys job bring up demons to attack the book shop and then it all ends and happy ending. Lesbos are like "we're not going to get together right away because thats gay but you two are obviously gay so you should" and the metatron gives sheen's angel the job of archangel and the ability to reinstate crowley only for crowley to say nah we should say frick both sides and be gays and kisses him It's so fricking stupid and forced.
Yeah I couldn't even be bothered reading that to be honest.
> It's so fricking stupid and forced.
I already knew that. Why did you even watch it? It was never going to be good.
It's hollywood in current year, making things you like is fascism.
hatewatching something and talking about it is just as bad as watching it unironically, you still give the studio free advertising
I never said I was hatewatching it. I enjoyed it until the forced bullshit at the very end. Also free advertising is moronic, I'm discussing it on Cinemaphile. If you're here and you're not smart enough to be torrenting all this shit to a private plex server then frick off zoomer.
I know, that's why I don't do it.
I don't eat shit, not even ironically, not even for free.
>Because the first season was fantastic?
And it ended at the end of the book. There's no more book, they're just making it up themselves now, and Pratchett's dead so it was never going to be as good.
>telling people it's shit and warning them before they waste money on it
>advertising
>Why did you even watch it?
Because the first season was fantastic? What a dumb question. Michael Sheen and David Tenant are great together and so is Jon Hamm.
Gaiman's old and rich so he got his, he doesn't really care anymore, he'll pander any way he can so he doesn't get cancelled.
no Sandman was fantastic, it's the only really great thing he's ever done. American Gods has some interesting concepts but it's way too long for what it is.
>no Sandman was fantastic
It wasn't tho. It was good, there was nothing wrong with it. But there were a lot of good graphic novels at that time. It just had an evangelical fanbase of goth kids pretending they were too mature for X-men that turned it into a "phenomena" but it didn't deserve it.
>Gaiman's old and rich so he got his
His wife left him during the covid lockdowns after cucking him for years, he got divorce-raped
He needs money
>His only "good" book was American Gods
no. his only good books are anansi boys and neverwhere. american gods was a 5/10 book. made to read on a plane.
I loved Books of magic though.
>Neverwhere good
Maybe if you're a teenager who like YA novels. Otherwise, it's really underwhelming.
I do admit, I did read it when I was a teenager, lol. nostalgia goggles cover many flaws.
No Neverwhere is awesome.
The concept of a shadow city is very very cool.
For a YA version, try Un Lun Dun.
Yeah, the concept is great, seeing all these regular places and monuments having a hidden side for underground magic people is cool.
But a cool concept isn't enough. The actual story is very weak and undercooked, the MC is boring and barely does anything yet everyone talks about seeing something special in him, the rest of the cast is either okay to forgetable, except the Marquis, and the villain is dogshit.
It would work better if it was the first in a series of novels, but alas, we only got the one and I'll judge it as such.
>His only "good" book was American Gods which was really just 800 pages of edgy atheism.
His best book is unironically Coraline.
Neverwhere was great
Coraline, Stardust, and Anansi Boys are all good
holy frick there's s2? where
Gaiman's episodes of Doctor Who are top tier and actually pay attention to the lore and mythos of the show instead of just writing a generic scifi plot like so many other Who writers.
gay man was always a hack gay.
>what le gods… were real?
>what if Hercules met Odin and Moses?
>(no mention of Jesus whatsoever)
fiction for cat ladies
is this show worth watching?
i'm a huge Doctor Who gay so i enjoyed it for David Tennant but it gets annoyingly woke near the end with a character that literally only exists to spout feminist platitudes with no challenge. idk if that's a character from the book but it's gay and moronic.
>character that literally only exists to spout feminist platitudes with no challenge
Who? I watched the second season yesterday and I don't recall anyone.
The first season is fantastic imo. The second season is good until the last 5-10 minutes of the last episode, but nowhere near as good as the first. Luckily the first does technically tell the whole story and the second is just new fanfiction basically.
>The second season is good until the last 5-10 minutes of the last episode
So you're a homophobe.
>So you're a homophobe.
Ah yes, because the rest of the show being about them trying to get two girls together is what I said I hated. What are you, moronic?
>liking lesbians means you're not homophobic
Lol
Everyone called that shit in season one. Sorry you don't have any gaydar whatsoever.
I watched the first 15 and it's very tumblr though I get if the audience wants to watch platonic bros playful banter with each other, since I enjoyed Hannibal.
It's always better to gatekeep from the poopdicks
Everyone called that shit from the book you utter moron.
Just finished the series and holy shit. The plot is a shambles. The whole last episode is a fricking shitshow.
Fricking pissed on Terry's grave to be honest.
>The whole last episode is a fricking shitshow.
All the clues were there for Gabriel/Beelzebub, the Metatron thing was a fun couple of twists, and the Azeriphael/Crowley thing had plenty of build up to it. I thought it was fine.
There's literally no plot for 4 1/2 episodes. Somehow felt like the scenes were too short (could have done with a longer apology, for example), and yet the whole show was filler.
You've got better eyes than me if you can see any Beez/Gabe in there, other than the last ep of the first series and the last ep of this one.
Gabriel had been chasing the fly since the first episode and comments that even if you get it between two books, it flies away again. The way heaven was looking for him felt more like hunting than trying to find someone they care about. Beez has that thing with the eye patch guy where she talks about being bored. Plus the whole season had a love theme about it, the lesbians, the record, Azeriphael's little mannerisms. There's probably more that I'm forgetting. I didn't predict it, but I wasn't surprised by it. On a rewatch, I'd be able to pick up more.
>Fricking pissed on Terry's grave to be honest.
yes, youve nailed it.
>The supporting cast were totally forgettable
it makes me dread to think what kind of shitshow anansi boys is going to be.
Even ignoring the fact that everyone is gay and/or a brown woman, this season had little of the British charm that the first season had. The supporting cast were totally forgettable compared to the ones from season one. Also, too many womyn.
The fact they reused actors from the previous series and made them new characters was off-putting.
That and there's no...whimsy? There's no Terry in this show.
Beelzebub was a cutie though
As far as I'm concerned the first run told the story quite nicely and wrapped everything up in a satisfying way. Rewatched it lately and still holds up. I will not watch this and neither should you.
Given that the added plot bits of S1 was literally the worst thing about it I don't know why anyone though Gaimen's gay fanfiction would be at all redeemable.
I don’t even mind gay couples, kelvin coming out as gay in the righteous gemstones season finale was kino. It’s just so out of left field in good omens, ruins the eternal broship they had
Exactly! It was a perfect bro's being dudes friendship thing they had, and they gayed it up out of nowhere and ruined it.
>out of nowhere
You guys didn't pay attention to Azeriphael at all, huh?
They were real blatant with that in this series, but it was more subtle before. I just feel like it needed more romance about it rather than what they did here.
Well, it looks like we're getting a third season, which I'm sure will be non-stop will they/won't they before they finally do.
neil gaiman is a dyed in the wool scientologist and has been all his life
Never read Pratchett. I know discworld has a lot of books, where should I start?
Start with a character. I liked Death, but the Rincewind books are fun too.
Isn't there a recommended release order?
There's this reading order if you want the story in chronological order.
I'd say read a one off book like Small Gods and then if you like the overall style - pick an overaching theme (city guard, wizards, witches, death) and go from there
>they had to gay it up for literally no reason or gain.
They were pretty gay in the first season of the TV show.
Me Missus made me watch this goyslop with her and I couldn't get past the third episode. It is massively homosexual. It always has been, literal fujo bait shit for tumblr gif era morons. You talk about it like it's a passion project when a majority of it is just pandering to ESG investor scores with all the forced plot points and characters.
Wait, they did another season? With what? Didn't they finish the book in season 1?
>Didn't they finish the book in season 1?
Yes.
>With what?
Apparently there was an outline for a second book that was made, but I have some doubts about the truth of that.
the “religious story but the most facile homosexual interpretation of it possible with some modern platitude about being nice injected into it with quirk humour” genre is a weird one
No, not my heckin Christianity! Don't they know the book says you're not supposed to criticize the book?
Putting all the homosexual shit aside did anyone notice how nonsensical Aziaphile was. Why did he volunteer for the magic show again? Just to help out some old crone with her strip show? The plot of the episode made no sense and had no tension since it took place in the past and we already know none of it is consequential to the story.
None of the flashbacks made sense, really. I gather the bodysnatching one was supposed to illustrate to Aziraphale that human behaviour isn't morally black or white?
The magic trick bit didn't have an actual reason to exist as far as I can tell. Shax didn't get her leg up in Hell due to the event, the other admin demon failed due to Aziraphale's sleight of hand (which really felt like too much of a Chekov's gun to not be mentioned ever again), and the result was nazi zombies roaming the earth in perpetuity.
Baffling, truly.
the most unbelievable thing about this shit is michael sheen of all people rejecting david tennant at his hottest
wait.... theyre gays? i thought they were bros, they had nice interactions in season 1
Show is trying to retcon them for the tumblr shipper audience
The montage of them being bros throughout history was the most kino part of the show
I liked the 3 flashbacks in season 2 though.
but it is kinda weird watching them knowing it's supposed to be foreshadowing their eventual buttsex.
Bad news, anon. You're gay too. You liked watching those two gay guys be gay with each other.
