@aliefe19033@Gorb77635 i think it's a classic case of collective psychosis. "you're stupid if you don't like this" type of deal. people are really afraid of forming their own opinions on things.
@Erza1245@itsmeashraf04@Gorb77635 what development? he's the same guy as when he started. his story comes full circle, sure, but not his character. neither do any of the side characters.
@ari_sugarcubes@Clayfulls@Gorb77635 david is dumb as fuck.
i also understand that the show frames his self destructive behavior and eventual fall into cyber psychosis as an analogy for drug addiction, for which he can't be entirely held to blame. he's still fucking stupid.
@Erza1245@Gorb77635 show made for people pre-frontal lobe development.
jokes aside, it's not a bad show at all, and i think it'd even be great if it'd been given another 12 episodes. as it stands, it feels like it rushes past all character development just to get to the tearjerker ending.
@tokidriffft@catofice Most changes made in the earlier seasons were made mostly by necessity. The scale of ASoIaF is too large to adapt 1:1. The problem is that these changes eventually lead to further, more catastrophic changes later on.
@woodaa_@didrikmagnusand True, but that's more the underlying setting and world being magical, not magic being actively used by characters to solve problems or conflict. LotR is a very human story at its roots. The magic is just there in the backgrounds to make things more interesting.
@woodaa_@didrikmagnusand There really isn't all that much direct "magic" of the "in your face" kind in Lord of the Rings in general. At least not in the same way it is in Warhammer or Harry Potter, for example.
@panganalayi27@king_koddy IDK I really don't think GoT ever got to the peaks of Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad is essentially flawless. Not a single bad actor, bad episode. Hardly a bad scene. GoT was much more inconsistent, partly due to having to scale down the fantastic ASoIaF books to fit a tv-series.
