>psychologically tortures you even though knows you didn’t do it>bullies the murderer until they kill themselves or make a run for it>don’t tell the cops beforehand>refuse to elaborate Why are the French like this?
>>215243534>french
>>215243534>French
/tv/ is truly dead isn’t it? like everyone who isnt discussing shillslop series of the week got banned for off topic
Why is he so mean to hastings?
>>215243534DCI Tom Barnaby is better
>>215244855Hastings is a trust fundy without a thought in his head besides golf, cars and women
>>215243534He is Belgian and i love this dude.
Poirot is an apex predator. He even refers to suspects as his 'prey.'
>>215245064Something about his mannerisms must have been something of a hypnosis that made people do crime. It’s insane how many people are doing murders in the immediate vicinity of the world’s most famous detective for no good reason when waiting works just as well
>>215243534Because the other suspects who mightadunnit are uniformly terrible people who could, and would, have done it under other circumstances. They SHOULD be tortured.
>>215245265Incredibly British post
Favorite episode? I've always liked the Halloween one and dead man's folly.
>>215245155Whatever his game is, you know Inspector Japp is in on it, because he is always slightly exasperated when Hercule shows up, even if the murder hasn't happened yet. It's like he knows in advance that shit is about to go down, but he never casts suspicion at Hercule when it does.
>>215245733 Death on the Nile (I think it’s funny) and The Hollow, also Evil under the Sun has such a comfy setting. Labours of Hercules would be a perfect if the girl turned out to be Poirots daughter, i suspect it was written like that at first but Agatha cucked out.
>>215245995Did the show even do a Death on the Nile episode? I've never seen it when I catch Poirot reruns on tv.
>>215246133Yeah it’s one of the 90 minute ones. I think the 1978 one is better overall but the performances of the love triangle participants I think are better in the Suchet vers
>>215243534he is only mean to guilty or evil people, it's pretty clear and a recurring aspect in most episodesif someone committed a crime but had a good reason, he'll let them off
>>215243534That is easy to explain, for you see, he is FREUUUNCH HON HON HON!
>>215246337He only did that one time, in murder on the orient express. Also sometimes he’s just a dick for no reason. He’ll start hypothesizing about how a person who didn’t do it could have during the big reveal with all the cops around, like don’t tell me that’s not terrifying
>>215244855Hastings is a fucking moron. Hastings is what the world thinks Watson is. The Doctor Watson of the original Holmes stories was an intelligent man, just not a gigabrain. Hastings is genuinely stupid.
>>215243534I've recently been watching an early 2000s anime named Agatha Christie's Great Detectives Poirot and Marple. It's actually pretty good, the whole thing is free on youtube. 27 episodes in the only time I've really found a story botched was their adaption of Peril at End House, the rest has been all good.
>>215246405>Hastings my friend, you spent some years in China, did you not?>Oh absolutely. Fine fellows, fine fellows.>Did you ever have any trouble with your laundry.>Yes I did as a matter of fact.>And what did you say to them?>Well, I said "Him collar no vely good starchy.">But Hastings, my collars they do not get any better.>No. Mine didn't either, now I come to think about it.
>>215246405>NOO STOP ENJOYING THINGSStay bitter, mad, repressed, and resentful, sad little basement loser.
It's so funny how the only actually good Belgians are fictional. Poirot and Tintin and that's about it. Every IRL Belgian is actually evil. It's a dastardly country.
He isn't French.
>>215246511Wait Belgium is a real country? I thought it was like Narnia.
>>215244908Fuck off baskintranny.
>>215246531It doesn't matter if this guy turns around and admits he's baiting. We all know the average 25 year old doesn't any better than this either.
>>215246564He was tho?
>>215246519Walloons are French. Belgium is a fake country.
>>215243534>Why are the French like this?French? I will not stand for this insult to my Belgium!
>>215246679Ghana and Wales both speak majority English. Are they the same, frog?
>>215246854there's literally no difference between francophone belgium and the french flanders, jew
>>215247068You sound seething mad, little antiwhite kike. Hate being found out, huh?
>it's really a jewlmao gottem
>>215247136Hercules literally saved a nazi's life in one episode. He just knows.
>>215246531It might as well be fictional. The Belgiums barely have a common history, they have no singular common language nor combined culture. Both parts of the population would prefer splitting up and it would've happened eventually if the EU didn't plant themselves square in the middle of their cities.
>>215249066This jew is extremely angry.
>>215246133The show adapted every Poirot novel and almost every short story (some of them got combined so they featured in the same episode)
>>215249066>fake country>it's where the EU is headquarteredThis feels incredibly on-the-nose.
>>215246531Fun fact, the Narnia name comes from a town in Italy called Narni.
>Why are the French like this?Saar, is dis bait?>>215249601this
>>215243534>every episode that involves a murder being commited with a firearm you could pick apart like confetti because the person that wrote it had no idea how firearms functionYou just know it was written by a woman before you even see it in the credits and what's even worse is that none of the men that dicted these episodes bothered to fix those glaring flaws
>>215243534man I loved this seriesdidn't see a non-white till like the 20th movieit's almost as good as pic related series
>>215243776>>215244081What language does he speak?
>>215250538Belgic
>>215250504Murdoch Mysteries was also pretty comfy for the first seasons but eventually they added way too many niggers and stronk women plotlines and I dropped it.
>Aystings it's curious, is it not, that Monsieur Kirk should be assassinated three days after the House Committee's release of Monsieur Epstein's files>Three days aft...i say...GOOD LAWD
>>215250504>ayo wassup’ im that white bitch’s yachter cousingenuinely confused meI mean a negro that can swim
>>215250287Yeah
>>215244868>bullies and belittles his partners constantly
I like Christie but she pulled the twist of Murder of Roger Ackroyd straight out of her old bony ass
>>215245064This is actually true, Christie compared him to a big cat with glowing eyes when he spots his prey
>>215243534He was Belgian you dumb mutt, and they’re well known for being unhinged sociopaths. Just look at how they ran their African colonies.
>>215251555You can tell most times she’s working backward from the crime scene and method of death after deciding on that first.
>>215250538English
>>215243534He isn't French, 'aystings.
>>215246511Poirot was a wish fulfillment character that could only have been written by a woman with no concept of actual consequences for one’s actions or the realities in living in a foreign, uncivilized land, where the concepts of justice are very different to those at home. In any moderately grounded world, he would have been garroted by a coolie in the middle of the night to little fanfare the moment he even attempted any of his garrulous ‘hon hon little grey cells, ze killer will be found hon hon’ nonsense
>>215251700>how could this upper crust British woman in the 1930s fantasizing about murdering dinner guests over bridge and cocktails not be based and redpilled???
>thread about Poirot>Tylenol enjoyer seething about women
>>215251700> no concept of actual consequences for one’s actions or the realities in living in a foreign, uncivilized land, where the concepts of justice are very different to those at homeWasn’t that the entire conversation in Murder on the Orient express?
>>215243534>You are Hercule Poiroting me!
>>215250504Yeah, I was gonna say. All awesome actors though.
The depiction of Britain in this show is so comfy.
>>215243534You forgot >decides not to turn in the killers when he decides the victim (elderly woman) deserved it
>>215251794>>215251700Christie actually hated the Poirot so she gave him at least some character flaws and made him out to be an insufferable autist at times. Ms. Marple was even worse in that department.A literal Mary Sue self insert who just effortlessly outsmarts everyone.
>>215251505troy was a spaz who needed someone talking down to him sometimes and rightfully so. he was fine with jones and decent with scott after the initial growing pains no you're thinking of his cunt cousin who replaced him, that character is a mess
>>215251736Brother, perennial victimhood and female characters who escape any actual responsibility or consequences for their actions are dyed in the wool tropes of classic feminist literature. From Brontë, to Austen to Christie, they all play the same card. You can’t simp your way out of this hard truth anon.
>>215246592>25 year old*american
>>215251959yeah it's what it would look like today if the good guys didn't lose WWII
the true phycological torture is watching these series' and seeing what the UK & Europe look like todayhence the Paris syndrome
>>215243534Did anyone else think these episodes took a hard nose-dive after they got longer than an hour?They're whodunnits with lots of flavour, not feature-length films... they just drag on and on
>>215243534because Agatha Christie had her own sick version of revenge she wanted to get off on?
>>215243534Peril at End House. Prime Polly Walker. One of the best episodes.
>>215252308I like the hour+ ones because of how comfy they are. If you want to see a series that truly suffers from being 90 minutes long watch Foyle’s War lmfao. Like 50 minutes of abject meandering in each episode before the crime even happens
>>215252308It gets progressively more grim and depressing in the later hour long episodes which I don't like. I much prefer early Poirot.
>>215252207Women face consequences in literally every episode
>>215246405 >"middle-sized, strongly built man—square jaw, thick neck, moustache,">forever immortalized as a fat buffoon
>>215252616In other words, a based retard
>>215252390"Poirot, have you penetrated someone yet?""Poirot, you will penetrate someone today or I will burn your wretched books in the yard"
>>215252616I think the Benedict Cuminmyvag series did a lot to repair Watson’s reputation with future generations
For me, it's Del Boy in Frost.
>shows up>does not miss any chance to praise himself>calls everyone else simpletons>solves case without a sweat>gg ezLuv are errcuul
>>215252647>huh someone tried to kill me? Oh yeah you’re right, there’s a bullet through my hat. Anyway… wanna try coke?
>>215250143Elaborate
what is in the water in bongland that has allowed them to churn out comfy murder media for over a century now?
>>215251700Why are you people so fucking obsessed with finding or mentioning getting stabbed by a nigger no matter the subject? Like you actually think its an error when it doesn't happen
>>215252693They all want to kill each other so badly but they’re too uptight and repressed for it
>>215252207Clueless and wrong, not to mention artless and punishment obsessed
>>215252586The later episodes are about murders but the earlier ones are like >egads someun ‘ook my priceless miniatures>wot, where dud’ my stock certificates get off too?>granpas will is fourged? O’ bugger
>>215251505Troy had special needs, needed bullying. Scott wanted to fuck Cully at one time. He didn't really bully Jones because he wasn't a tard.
>>215252144MM should've been canceled after Neil came aboard. Seasons got too brown.
>>215243534David Suchets biography really goes into adapting Poriot. Worth a read imo
>>215253118Should have been cancelled at the first brown person desu, wasn't my england anymore
>>215246854They are now
>>215253220I remember I liked seeing blacks on British tv in the 00s because they didn’t act like our niggers and the show didn’t constantly bring up their race. Oh how times change
>>215246531Belgium is like Serbia and Croatia. Only famous for genocide and nothing else.
>>215252693>'' “Do you know, Watson,” said he, “that it is one of the curses of a mind with a turn like mine that I must look at everything with reference to my own special subject. You look at these scattered houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there.”>“Good heavens!” I cried. “Who would associate crime with these dear old homesteads?”>“They always fill me with a certain horror. It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.” ''>The Adventure of the Copper Beeches - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
>>215253118they were CLEARLY overcompensating due to the whole controversy with brian true may that got him shitcanned, and on top of that decided to make their new lead character a curmudgeonly smug cunt for way, way too long.
>>215253573>FROM THE TWISTED MIND OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
>>215246519Then why is his accent fully French in it? I guess the actor was an idiot because he's English.
>>215243534He is BELGIAN, good sir.
>>215255106It’s a Belgian accent
>>215256004Sounds French, so it's French.HON HON HON!
>>215256013There’s a difference apparently, Suchet researched and learned it for the role
>>215256144>There’s a difference apparentlylol "apparently" not.
>>215253573Sherlock Holmes is not one of us :(
Why doesn't Sherlock Holmes simply kill Moriarty?
>>215243776>>215244081belgians are french in denial
>>215257159>anon mysteriously commits suicide via gunshot in dead center of their forehead
>>215257337people were better shots back then
>>215253573Arthur Conan Doyle was a libtard but he did have some choice quotes about women.>"There is danger for him who taketh the tiger cub, and danger also for whoso snatches a delusion from a woman"
>>215250538Welsh
>>21525746250% at least of all male suicides are definitely woman murders that th cops didn’t look into
>>215256004It's a french accent, but he is belgian.
>>215258127It’s a Belgian accent but he is french
>>215256980Because he’d be out of work
>>215253118What’s the season I should watch up until?
>>215244817it's only bots now. every boards.
>>215243776belgians aren't a real nationality, it's a bunch of dutch and french sharing a coat
>That one ep where they break into a house to look for clues>They get caught>Hastings immediately runs like a hood, diving out the window while Hercule explains himselfMade me kek.
>>215260620>Hastings brings that chick to the police station to impress her and she takes the murder weapon >didn’t even ask her name
>>215243776>>215244081same thing. all yuropoors are the same
>>215257159Half of them speak dutch. The good half.
>>215243534Are the new movies good? I'm not extremely alarmist but I honestly just want to enjoy things without too many modern politics.
>>215261149I only saw a haunting in Venice when it was in theaters. It was alright, I think there were like two or three moments where I sighed because woke. Not extremely relevant. Venice was browner than I remember the 1930s being.
>>215245733I haven't watched many episodes but my favorite Poirot stories are Peril at End House and Evil Under The Sun. 5 Little Pigs has a nice concept as does Dead Man's Folly.Orient Express actively angers me and I consider it a huge misstep by Chrostie.
>>215261146>dutch>goodkys jan van der kuck
>>215261484Orient express would be better if the guy had a “come to Jesus” moment on the train and resolved to be a better person right before his murder
>>215261517I am just outraged that Poirot lets them go. He should have had them arrested and tried but strongly implied (or even explicitly stated) that no jury in the world would convict them. I am okay with Hercule being sympathetic to the killers and even saying 'he deserved it' but letting killers completely get away with it feels really out of character.
