>self-contained story with no tie-ins to other projects >exceptional casting, writing, set design, costumes, etc>faithful to the source material while updating the premise for modern audiencesJust finished this show and it deserves to go in the capeshit hall of fame for screen adaptations. Was it big when it was still airing a few years ago? What did you think of the ending?
>>153864132It wasn't animated like Invincible or violent like the Boys so people don't care
>>153864132To good for internet discussion
>>153864132it has some good episodes. But as it goes on the writing keeps devolving into FUCK THIS FUCK THAT FUCKITY BUTTFUCK SHIT FUCK FUCK and it really goes against the somewhat mature tone or themes not saying they cant swear but its like a super childish way they write it
forced Cyborg in just because he's a Nog.Yeah of course Cyborg needs to be in everything. Titans, Justice League, Crossovers, now Doom Patrol.Doesn't even make sense. Forgetting that Beast Boy is the Ex Doom Patrol member, Cyborg can't even complain about being a freak. Cliff is ALL Robot. What the fuck does Cyborg have to complain about, muh Raycism?
>>153864132The opeing shot of Bredan Frasier's ass probably filtered a lot of people.Then not having Changling/Beast Boy will have filtered the secondaries that only know about the Doom Patrol from the 03 cartoon.Then like >>153864213 said. It isn't animated or overly and outwardly bloody and voilent which will not attract attention. Finally the final Season suffered hard from that gay writers strike, if only from a long delay. There is a lot to like about the show, I personally give it a 9/10. It should be manditory veiwing for capeshit fans just like Bruce Timm cartoons and that one WB Superman show people never shut up about. I have a lot of thoughts on this show, but becasue it's not animated, people will belive discussion belongs on /tv/ instead. Which is a shame, those guys are morons.
>>153864462Lol I called it. And a bonus this moron didn't even watch the show enough to see Cyborg get the exact lessom he's bitching about.
>>153864213It was also not on Amazon Prime
>>153864351This very true. A couple of the amaxing monolouges Rita does are pure stage play kino. Beyond Oscar worthy reallyStuff like that can't even get talked about in more moderated places on the internet. Real shame
>>153864454Robot Man and Jane are the main culprits of that. But it works because of how childish they are. The second season indroducing an actual child curbed a lot or that. Jane and Robot even get told directly to stop swearing in front of the kid. Which, if you would like, can be read as the writers talking to the audiance and saying sorry for leaning on swearing too hard.
>>153864132It was shitty.
>>153864462Cyborg definitely felt a little forced yeah, but since the show centers around character who have gone through traumatic/transformative accidents I think he slotted into the wider group relatively well and filled a unique niche in the group as not only the youngest (not counting Dorothy) but someone who was a genuinely well-known hero to people outside the mansion.
>>153864565Did they kick Cyborg out too, and tell that Nigger to get Beast Boy on, the character who actually should be on the Patrol?No, because BB isn't le Black YN Lebron Future Schola Doctor Commyoonitee Leada Karmelo Anthony over here.Cyborg should not be in the show.
>>153864624That villain lady that was a time traveler and always drunk is one of the best actresses I have seen in a long while
they needed Cyborg in the show so he could stab anybody dat wuz being Raycis' n shiiieet
>>153864565My man woke up today and complained about a Cyborg joining a team founded by a Brain in a Robot Body. Kinda wish we could've gotten some Silver Age Beast Boy out of it though, he was better than the TT version.
it peaked when the mummy dude got his resolution with his gay war buddy that was a nice scene no homo
>>153864132I gave up at danny the street episode, drag queen bullshit
>>153864831If you got a Brain in a Robot body, then you don't need to force in the Black with a robot eye just because he's Black.
>>153864462Cyborg's baggage was less about having metal bits and more about being forced into the superhero lifestyle at a young age because of his dad (who created the technology that saved his life) since his dad thought it was the only way his son could continue could succeed aftet the accident since he couldn't play football anymore IRCCAlso that he and his dad had a very strained relationship since Vic caused the lab explosion that required his augmentations also killed his mom
I don't remember it ever being "big" but it had a consistent following when it was airing. It's definitely my favorite cape show next to Legion.
>>153864932Support Groups aren't about that. There's a kid, he got fucked up in a similar way to Cliff, so he acts as a mentor figure and role model. Which is the kind of thing DP's been about since the Drake days.
>>153864908We know you would closet faggot
>>153864132>no tie-in to other projectsin the show itself? No, but the cast did cameo in an episode of Titans where Beast Boy explains he used to live with them. Also why Cyborg wasn't in the Titans show I dont know but the Beast Boy connection was clearly meant to set up Cyborg jumping ship to the Titans show if Covid and the writer's strike hadn't forced WB to scrap a lot of plans they had
>>153864908fuck you Danny was fun
>>153864772He definitly slotted in well with all the trauma stuff. Cy, relativly, having it the least worst was fun to see. His self imposed pity party getting shit on was always cathartic>>153864773Hey retard, the comic run they based the show on didn't have Garfield either. He's from a time when the Patrol were just weirdos. The show's team are too sad for him. If he was there it would not be a well written version of the character. And if you just wated animals being weird, the show has plenty of that already>>153864790Very true. I kinda scoffed at first at "another hag in my sad boy super hero show" but she has better acting chops than most people currently alive. >>153864809I kinda do think that was part of it. I recall dipshit reddit posts, who had no idea who Brenden Fraiser was, thinking Robot was supposed to be racist for some reason. Glad they figured out a better story arc for him that just being a black guy.>>153864831>Kinda wish we could've gotten some Silver Age Beast Boy out of it though, he was better than the TT version.Honestly I don't care for Gar from that time. Idk what it is, he just always felt like he was ment omly for little kids to like. New Teen Titan's making him a horny little shit was was better
KICK THAT NIGGER BOT OFF THE TEAM!
>>153865013There's an adult man, who was not involved at all in a tragic accident, who is not part of the Doom Patrol, and whose upgrades gave him a boon to his overall life instead of a disability, and does not belong on the team but is only there because He Black.Next let's kick out Johnny Storm from the Fantastic Four for being Blonde.Replace him with 'Da Ting', a Negro with the powers of Thing who only had his pinky finger turn to rock, but the rest of him is still Black. And have him lecture the others on Raycism and why Blacks deserve 1 Million dollars for stabbing YTey
>>153864888I had to mentally prepare the whole run-time of the show to be ready for a gay kiss. It's just gross to see, and them delaying it as long as possible was good lol
>>153865148Gar's from a time when the Patrol all died except for him and he had to avenge them. Cyborg doesn't belong on a sad team when he lives a great life and has many friends and family when they don't.
>>153865230That would have been a good vilian tbdoko.
>>153865230and whose upgrades gave him a boon to his overall life instead of a disabilityYou didn't watch the show, retard-kun
>>153865298ayo Karmelo Anthony's a hero Doh??? Ask any black folx dey tell you dis biish
>>153865328Waahhhh boohoo I have so many superpowers and I can still touch and feel unlike Cliff.Your hero's only on the team because he's a jib-jibing african brainlet
>>153865282>Cyborg doesn't belong on a sad team when he lives a great life and has many friends and family when they don't.Yea that was kinda the point. He showed up to get the ball rolling for some action, then quickly felt he could relate because he's sad too, then figures out his life isn't all that bad afterall. Him getting a de-cyborg-ing sugery was an ultimate cope that even the dullest Patrol members saw through. Vic did not understand how great he had it, and had to learn the a hard way multuple times. >>153865090 pointed out he was probably being set up to go to the Titan's. And that's where he should be. He just didn't undertand that for the longest time. You're right that he doesn't belong. But it was intresting to actually see him not understsnd that.
>wrapped in bandages from head to toe>dark shades >fur-lined trenchcoat>fingerless gloves>cargo pants with suspenders >knee-high leather boots that lace all the way upno wonder this guy was the fucking stand user of the group lmao
>>153865410Titans flopped so he stuck around, I know he is the weaker aspect of the show but became the straight man to their shennanigans
>>153865462Grown man that's more chuuni than the actual DID teenage girl. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING
>>153864908Danny's awesome but they made him a they/them because of current year, even though in the comics he's a guy street who likes to troll. But the drag queen omfg. I made it through all of season two but I dropped it after that because of that episode. Mara Lee Korrupt actually stops, mid-scene, so we can be given an honest-to-god lecture about black trans people being murdered. I shit you not, that is what happened.Doom Patrol season one was amazing but it got hit by wokeness hard.
>>153865550Didn't she say all that to a kid too? The unintentinal comedy of woke injection makes it fine to overlook
>>153864132Is this the show that put Brendan Frasier back on the map? I remember hearing about his brutal divorce, losing his acting career, becoming the source of the JUST meme, and dropping off the face of the Earth. Hearing his performance as Robot Man made me think he was channeling a lot of very real and recent emotions for the character
>>153864132Why the boss is always out of the show?
>>153865550The pointyour head
>>153865550Was comic Danny's MO also to give a home to society's outcasts? If that's true then it's not *that* bad of an bad adaptation. They could have thrown in some other examples of outcasts besides drag queens tho
>>153864132Runs out of steam towards the end but it has a great castI wish Crazy Jane and Rita Farr went full frontal
YOU CANT FIX HER
>>153865857we get full frontal of Rita plenty of times, she's just a limbless mass of flesh when it happens
>>153865870Has she done much after Doom Patrol ? she was good on the show and pretty attractive (physically)
I'm gonna flex
>>153865529They were channeling pure kino. The Larry episodes are easily my favorite
>>153864700maybe. I seem to remember episodes beyond that still doing it.
>>153865782>Was comic Danny's MO also to give a home to society's outcasts?Yep. But mostly trans. And one floating legless dude.
>>153864132No, it was painful to watch. I dropped it in the third cause every new push in their arcs got it's legs kicked out from underneath the next episode. I tapped out after Cliff stole his daughters credit card because of his online gambling addiction. That's not the kind of show I want to watch.
>>153864132It had some good because it was adapting something very interesting, and some bad because they added a lot of stupid. Like the white space thing. Any CHILD would be able to explain why that works in a comic but not in a show.
>>153865955As far as I can tell absolutely nothing
