MODERATORS
I saw Speed Racer after someone recommended it here on Lemmy. They said it was the best movie ever.
I thought it freaking sucked ass. Took me like five attempts to finish it. I got bored and watched something else 4 times before I could finish it.
It was so weird. The plot was just much too basic. Old story, told a thousand times, predictable and boring af. Special effects were (intentionally) poor and too zoomed in and shaky.
They made everything in focus, nothing was out of focus. I think this was a choice of the Wachowskis', but it made for some weird-looking things sometimes.
All the racing was too busy, with camera switches that were much too frequent. Gave me a headache. And I'm used to watching quick switching content. There was just too much color and nothing on focus and too quick. It was a bold choice but it backfired in my opinion.
My two cents, I'm ready for the down votes. ๐
Firefly - warning, only one season, 1 movie, and a short stack of comics.
Young Justice - The side kicks form their own team. Starts off strong but by season four it's kind of meh.
Fubar - cia spy show starring Arnold S.
Invincible - Violent cartoon, good writing.
Severance - It's a weird mind fuck.
X-Men 97 - Far better than the original series.
Brooklyn Nine Nine if you want a comedy cop show.
invincible kind of fell off around 2 and 3, due to bad animations, and the length of time in between the series. i think people got bored, and just watched the comics narration on youtube instead.
I see nothing wrong with the animation. As far as the delay between seasons, that's becoming all too common. Just to name a few shows doing this - The Boys, Resident Alien, Strange New Worlds.
Spaceballs
Primer, if you like hard sci-fi. It's an indie movie about time travel, and it's got perhaps the most fleshed out time travel mechanic out of all movies I've seen. Last I checked, the director posted the full movie on YouTube for free
Devil's plan
Monkey Dust Time Trumpet Peep Show
Seirei no Moribito (Guardian of the Spirits):
A spear-wielding badass protects a young prince after being hired by his mother to be his bodyguard. It's a beautiful character-driven fantasy anime that really delivers on the dramatic punches.
Monkey Man:
Dev Patel's modern down to earth retelling of the Hanuman myths. Folks dismiss it as a John Wick clone, but it really is so much more than that.
if your into scifi, sg1, sga, SGU you might want to hold off on that, because you might get disappointed in more than 1 ways. STAR trek tng,to ds9 to voyager, and maybe enterprise. just none of the nutrek. maybe ISAIP, but the consensus seems to be only from the crowd that watched it when it aired in the 2000s to 11th season, the newest seasons13+ is just super wierd and not like the old seasons, genz and younger apparently have no idea who the actors are so just be warned.
some pre-disney marvels, like gifted, AOS,,,etc.
