I never finished the first show but I thought it was cool. At least a 7 for me. This Forbes review is specifically citing the reviews that complained about "modern day talking points" so I don't doubt they're at least partially correct. The show is probably mediocre to begin with but there's also righties getting worked up over it. I guess I'll have to watch it and see if it's any good.
What's wrong with complaining that a show puts talking points (or however you'd like to refer to the concept) over quality?
Why is it idiotic to not like media that prioritizes pushing a message over being entertaining?
having black people in a tv show isn't "prioritizing pushing a message", you absolute loon
Nobody said that you fucking dunce
what message is the show pushing
Just because you want to change the topic of discussion to a strawman it doesn't mean it's what we are discussing.
Besides, you're the only one kidding around here, making up bogus accusations to discredit criticism
you just threw out a strawman, got told to stay on topic, then accused the other person of strawmanning your argument because they stayed on topic rather than responding to your strawman
Lmao I was the one staying on topic dumbass. Read the conversation if you're too stupid to understand it
i guess we can add "reading comprehension" to your list of special talents
Lmao says the dumbass who continues to strawman everything i say.
oh no somebody's using words they don't understand
give me the definition of a strawman argument, then explain how that was one
A strawman argument is where they put up a false version of the argument I was making and argue against it instead. Such as pretending I was arguing media should have zero message whatsoever, instead of the actual argument I was making, which was that entertainment should be a higher priority than the message
ok i think i get it, so for example making the argument be about "shows shouldn't prioritise pushing a message over quality" when that's completely irrelevant to the topic at hand would be an example of a strawman argument, yes?
also i'm still waiting on an answer for what message the show is pushing
Jesus you're fucking retarded
i think that might be a strawman
Not clicking on some weird Facebook link
Name some media that pushes zero messaging of any type. Bet you can’t.
Do elaborate on the deep messaging of f-zero
Opulence and excess lead to brutality.
One hell of a reach there. Anything to actually show it's an intentional message and not just reading between lines that don't exist on your part?
Pulled from wikipedia:
Yeah, I meant the game, not a Wikipedia article.

If you could be bothered to not repeat the same retarded comment as everyone else, the fact he has to cite auxiliary materials for the story is a perfect fucking example of the message not being put before the entertainment. You can play the entirety of the game with none of the message actually coming up.
Honestly it just sounds like you are the kind of idiot who would play bioshock and come out with the that it was just a fun game about smacking people who are in diving suits with a wrench and having super powers. Like its clear you are a troll since you are choosing to pick games that have no in game story then shouting "LALALLALALALALALAL" when people tell you that the fucking instruction manual the game comes with has these themes. Funny part is your argument would make sense if you were talking about other kinds of external material like the whole star extended universe or someone talking about the halo books when talking about the complexity of the universe but this is a thing that came with the game. I'm sorry you either didn't have a childhood where you didn't read the fucking manual that came with the game but I assume you were illiterate when it came out.
Why do you fucking retarded idiots keep making up even more retarded "arguments" for the same failed point.
at this point just because it's fun watching you flail about
Seems you're actually watching yourself if flailing about is what you're interested in since you've repeatedly failed to make anything resembling an actual point.
damn just hit me with the i'm rubber you're glue
but if I haven't made any points, then why have you replied arguing against them?
mysterious
i can keep going
Again I haven't seen the show yet but usually when people say that it just means there was a black/queer character and it made them angy
Without spoilers, there’s melanin, gayness, and even character flaws. You were spot on.
And also low quality writing and minimal satisfying entertainment.
Low quality? No, not in the least. It was adequate setup for a 3-4 season show. The emotional arcs would have been fantastic if they had been given any amount of time to breathe or if there had been more visible development between certain characters, but that’s not what the complaints are about, are they? What, my good chud, are they complaining about in their reviews? Do feel free to pull your mask off, you’re among friends.
Anyway, try reading the link before you try and use it to back you up.
Sorry, I didn't realize you were the grand arbiter of quality, selected by the universe to be the one true source of objective judgement on the topic.
What an absolutely unhinged comment. And to reply to your reviews, there’s nothing of substance said in half of them. I read them, evidently you haven’t. Feel free to keep the mask on, I guess?
You seriously expect every random person to write an essay describing their thoughts for the reviews?
Attempting to sound older than 16 seems like a small ask. As does… having a review in your review. Speaking of which, you mind linking your review?
Lol I bet you're absolutely furious at nearly every review on the internet if a short blurb about one's opinion isn't a sufficient thing to write.
So you don’t have one?
No, I'm not leaving a review because I watched one episode, and decided the show didn't interest me. Like hundreds of other shows I haven't left reviews on. My thoughts based on what I've seen are that I don't particularly like their choice of what to do with the story, the writing could be much improved, and the animation is alright, but not anything to set it apart.
The first episode is without any of the characteristics you derided in your other comments. Why did you come to a comment section to argue in favor of negative reviews about a show you haven’t actually watched? That’s a bizarre hobby.
Weird, I distinctly remember the first episode having both writing and animation. Perhaps I'm mistaking it for something else?
Lmao it seem you're usually wrong
