Unbelievable how fast this guy summed up every problem with streaming shows!

Explain your post without sounding like an uncultured pseud.

I had a dream last night where I got betrayed by a vampire friend. What does it mean?

>>214398924
streaming saw capeshit origin movies make money and figured they could do the same with cartoons from the 80's and completely original IPs

It's baffling. it's like seeing someone enjoy peanut butter on a stick of celery or on toast and then assuming "peanut butter good" and putting it in everything, even stirring it into your drinks. I fucking hate how the corporate world thinks.

Welcome to design by committee.

why do you think surf dracula surfs
the spray of the sea protects the undead
god damn it it's people like you that need that season long explanation of what he does and why.

Also he can't traverse flowing water.

he goes with the flow, man, he is one with the ocean

how'd he get over on the boat then

Someone missed the 10 seconds of dialogue explaining all this in episode 7.

>>214398924
The overuse of flashbacks for character development (which most of the time doesn't actually develop the character at all) is a cancer that serves purely to fill up screen time.

Almost as bad as the end of season reset button where 90% of what happened in a season doesn't matter because it revolves around newly introduced characters who die/disappear at the end of the season and/or most of it happens at a location they arrive at for the start and leave at the end of the season.

Seth Rogen does this shit in every series he touches.

>>214399206
A show where a team of freaks go on a black ops mission, complete their objective, return to base and then have to return to the same place again to fight the big bad guy? Are you stupid?
>>
>>214399331
It’s like how Sony wanted to make every single one of their IPs an extended and interconnected universe with shit like “MIB x 21 Jump Streey” or “the ghostbusters extended universe”

Just imagine the X-Files being done in the modern era.
When Fox's sister got abducted and the fact that his father worked for the smoker? That's at least 3-4 episodes to "set the stage".
Then we of course need to see him go to England for school and then recruited into the FBI. That's another 3-4 episodes.

THEN

He's working on regular ass FBI cases encountering shit about abductions 1-2 episodes.

FINALE!

He get's to start the x-files and it ends with Scully being introduced.

A whole season to "set the stage". If you're lucky you might get 1 "monster of the week episode but instead it'll be the entire season of season 2 and at the end the smoker appears.
Season 3 would be the backstory of the smoker with some cuts to present day where Mulder sits in his office looking at old case files.

3 seasons to do something that nobody ever asked for because the script writers of X-files knew we wanted little exposition and more focus on cool lore about UFOs, monsters, religion etc.

come on the uqality of streaming shows fell off a cliff after they stopped thorwing money at it and started chasing profit. Game of thrones is a long time ago now. Apple TV and Amazons shit is hilariously bad.
>>
>>214399237
>>214399372
Just let my boy cook, OK?
>>
reminder: broadcast shows were also edited to be punchier to make up for the lulls caused by commercial interruptions. streaming shows are edited to be slower, to maximize "view minutes."
>>
>>214398924
last line of the first season is "What are you, some kind of Surf Dracula?"
>>
>>214399372
Ariel invited him in first
>>
why is everything written in white people ebonics now
>>
>>214400819
>little exposition and more focus on cool lore about UFOs, monsters,
Sorry that is not modern shows.
In modern shows characters stand around or are stupid for 25 minutes and in this wast of time you get literally nothing of value.

>get 1 "monster of the week episode
You forgot the worst part.
Take 4 portliness where 2 of them are worthless and people only give a shit about 1 of them.
Now mix together these plot lines where only slight progress in made on every one of them in every episode so you can not simply cut out the crap like in old shows. And congratulations you have a season full of pointless character interactions 3 plot lines no one wanted and 1 plot line that drags forever and concludes in some rushed absurdity that feels like a joke only is not funny.

I am saying that the plot line about the farting gremlin monster would be in the entire season regardless if anyone wanted it or not!

>little exposition and more focus on cool lore about UFOs, monsters,
Also remember to not have any lore, world building or coherent universe, it is all charters standing around doing stupid shit to backdrop of a universe that can not function or exist and collapses if you think about it.
Worse example Wednesday.
>introduce never explained lore about le outcasts
>Do not explain if they are monsters
>Hint that humans know about these monsters since over 500 years
>The world also flip flops between people 90% knowing about monsters and being 99% oblivious to them in modern days
>Never explain any of this and the main show is sexy goth girl doing school shit.
>>
>>214401078
>last line of the first season is "What are you, some kind of Surf Dracula?"
This is so true it hurts.
>>
don't forget that 1998 Surf Dracula would have 24 episodes per season and release every week while 2025 Surf Dracula would have 7-9 episodes per season and take 4 years between seasons
>>
>>214401078

Yes because i am here to read and not watch.

Daredevil
Iron fist
Ironheart (still doesn’t become a hero anyway or take on the name of the show)
Wandavision
Obi-wan kenobi
Book of boba fett (he still never gets there)
Merlin
Halo
The Witcher
Cowboy bebop

>>214401436
>Obi-wan kenobi
Yikes!
Did anyone watch this show for more then 5 episodes?
Very bad!

>Hmm established canon...
>These characters face of in the canon
>Hey lets have wacky adventures where they re literally looney tunes characters on a chase and non stop battles!
>>
>>214398924
Did you really need to remake the old joke with an added AI slop picture though?`

>>214401424
>IA

>>214401306
this was before
dracula is hundreds of years old
thousands, since sumeria if it's a shitty 80s-00s movie version
he's Cain if you count the retard weebs roleplaying online version
>>
>>214401351
What we need is description cards
You know how silent movies would have dialogue and sometimes brief summaries of offscreen things on their cards?
Well imagine that but it's a long scrolling star wars card just explaining what's happening in the scene they couldn't depict for being too disrespectful to disabled people or women or whatever
>>
>>214401598
Dracula is a title passed down the line of the king of Vampires, the latest being a Pacific Islander Prince. Hence why he can surf and it's not cultural appropriation.

>>214401545
Sorry, in spanish it's Inteligencia Artificial and sometimes it slips.

kek, the funny thing is I described this as a joke but I am watching The Shadow (1994) on my other monitor and it GENUINELY just now did this exact thing with scrolling text explaining a training arc instead of showing it, minutes after my post.
>>
>>214401723
>The Shadow (1994)
Forgettable movie.
Modern actors still can not talk.
>>
>>214401750
You don't want brooding whispering with a +40 dB swelling strings track overlaid and bass blasting out your eardrums every time something happens if you watch in a theater?
