Saw the first episode, what did I think of it?
>>215544394woke garbage
If you'll watch low grade kingslop like this you'll suck a dick.
you thought that HBO has completely lost the plot and all that is good in our culture has been subverted, you furthermore thought that you should drink less and exercise more.
>>215544394>THEY TURNED US INTO LAMPSHADES!>Comics are fictional and should be avoided>Reality is scary enough>LAMPSHADES!
Better than the movies already thanks to the stronger pacing and unease of the townIt's commendable that they have had zero clown imagery for the first episodeThe flying baby-bat thing was stupid but you can't really have an IT adaptation without shit like that so whateverThe 2017 remake would have been better as a TV show based on what I've seen
>>215544441fpbp
>>215544394My nigger cunt ex girlfriend just kicked me off of her HBO MAX account, so I can’t watch it now. Fucking bitch.
>>215544441Trump ended woke, troon
>>215544529After finding out the military is trying to locate Pennywise to use against the Russians but have to convince Native Americans who were saving humanity from Pennywise by shaking chicken bones at dirt while chanting to help them, I dipped out hard.Like, the entire concept of adults not being able to register his existence is just gone now. But don't worry, there will be four episodes at the minimum driving home the point "Did you know, racism is evil. More evil than kid eating outer gods."
>>215544394>Watch horror movie>Get lectured about jews againWhy the fuck does this keep on happening??
watch anything from stephen king
>>215544590Also the turtle imagery gives me hope that they are going to do weird King shit with this
>>215544574Its funny that he would ask a jew if he knew about kidnapping kids albeit
>>215544651>>215544635>>215544574>>215544441I can't believe /tv/ saw religious sensationalism in an IT adaptation and assumed it was supposed to be a good thingActually I absolutely can believe that
i couldn't even get through 10 minutes this shit sucks
>>215544621It's time you learned how to torrent anyway.
jokingly asked my friend if this was just a show about racism in clown packaging without realizing that is indeed what it is and now she's mad and thinks i'm racist
>man these kids look weird as hell>... >oh, they were extras
what is "Derry"
>>215544635>"After finding out the military is trying to locate Pennywise to use against the Russians..." schizo level nonsense plot>it's realwhat in the ever loving fuck? why are 99% of hollywood writers media illiterate RETARDS? can we have ONE(1) good horror writer please please please...
Excellent, 10/10, only mentally retarded chuds hated it.
>>215544635>adults not being able to register his existenceHave you read IT by chance?
>>215544940Yeah it's a weird project for them to try and make some culture war thing. Especially spinning the Jewish family using their religion to scare their child as if they are to be rooted for.
>>215544394The worst thing about it was that the horror scenes had 0 impact and were laughable. It genuinely felt like scooby doo.The second worst thing was that the rest of the show felt like it was trying to imitate stranger things, and failing. The desperate attempts to get the audience to relate to these annoying kids... The whole thing was just boring.Overall, I'd say it was formulaic, pseudo-horror slop for the kids halloween market.
>>215544953I have read IT seven times. Adults do notice yes, so this Anon was wrong in that way. But they also are immediately under IT's kind of "mindfog" because they are so out of touch from their inner child. It's laughable the army would understand IT's existence without IT obfuscating it from their mind (when IT can do so on the whole fucking town).
>>215544992Id say that's likely because Stranger Things is just a ripoff of IT and Stand By Me
>>215544953Yes. Adults do not register Pennywise unless he wants them too. The Losers can register him because they got hit with deadlights as kids.
>>215544394Kamala core
>>215544590>It's commendable that they have had zero clown imagery for the first episodeSeems like an arbitrary thing to praise. Why is this commendable?
>>215544635>After finding out the military is trying to locate Pennywise to use against the Russians but have to convince Native Americans who were saving humanity from Pennywise by shaking chicken bones at dirt while chanting to help themAm I retarded? When did this happen?
>>215545071Because of the painful lack of subtlety in every other IT adaptation. Not doing the "spooky clowns scare me" off the rip already gives the series more artistic merit than the movies it's based on when it could have been so easy
>>215545071because it's a cheap gimmick, kinda like reducing Lovecraftian horror to just a giant squid named Cthulhu.
>>215545071>>215545113Even Alien Earth didn't have the restraint to not be showing xenomorphs within the first hour
>>215545045she*>>215545015the point is that, as far as tv shows go, stranger things actually did the 'kid storyline' thing to a decent standard. It chapter 1 also did a good job. Episode 1 of welcome to derry was boring slop, I don't think I'd even call it horror, and it certainly doesn't do the book justice. It is imitating stranger things (poorly) far more than it is drawing upon the source material. Of course there is the dumbass turtle reference so the 'fans' can pull a basedface during that scene. But overall it's just pure slop, I don't see how anyone could've enjoyed that episode.
>>215545106it's from some of the reviewers who have seen the whole season. Yes, it is retarded beyond belief but it's true.
>>215545071Because Skarsgard isn't scary as Pennywise? I do like how he can independently manipulate his eyes though. It lead to this gem where one of the actors asked how they were pulling off the effect.>Oh! You mean this?>*Makes eyes go all retarded*The design, mannerisms, and his voice are just trying hard to be scary instead of just being a clown, that looks and sounds like a clown, that happens to be doing creepy shit.
>>215545139>Episode 1 of welcome to derry was boringI think I'm seeing the issue. You are Hollywoodbrained.
>>215545154imagine shilling for this bottom-of-the-barrel, braindead, scooby doo slop
>>215544621you're not missing anything.
>>215545128>the restraint to not be showing xenomorphs within the first hourwithin the first minutes even. or did you forget the amazing moonwalking xeno in the spaceship? probably the most retarded scene in the whole Alien franchise.
>>215545139Pennywise offed a kike who was scared by a lampshade made of screaming Jew faces, so /pol/ thinks it's comedy gold.
>>215545179Yeah man maybe if it was more exciting and had more spooky scary clowns>>215545193Ah yup I forgot about that scene.
>>215545154>You are Hollywoodbrained.as if this show was not fully written by Hollywoodbrained retards.
>>215545015they're just stuck in a regurgitation loop.
>>215545200I don't really care about the jews, I just want good horror media :<
>>215545128>>215545121>>215545113Okay I guess I don't agree then. Teasing the clown isn't reducing the artistic merit nor is it any indication of quality. I don't see how clown imagery would be a bad thing. Again, just seems arbitrary and a personal gripe that doesn't translate to how well the show is or is going to be.
>>215545148>*Makes eyes go all retarded*exactlyI didn't find it creepy. He looked dopey through that whole thing. Like he was mentally challenged.
>>215545139cute doggo
Steve fucks up again.
>>215545273he is just an out of touch boomer too old to be on social media. just like grannies and grandpas getting caught by whatever fake news or AI slop they see on facebook
>>215544658lmao that was the first thought that went through my head as well>oy vey, your ancestors kidnap a few goy kids and drain their blood for occult rituals and suddenly everyone wants to look in your basement when a goy kid goes missing
So I don't get it, were the family in the car fabrications of Pennywise or were they people who had been possessed by Pennywise to bear his batbaby
>>215545312all the massive amounts of coke don't help.
>>215544441 Whites attacking blacks/goblins IS a good thing tho. Don't forget the core truth just because gay retards want to make other gay retards look bad.
>>215545141I don't think it's retarded beyond belief. That's the level of wacky I expect in a Stephen King adaptation. Sorry you can't recognize kino when you see it.
>>215544633this was shot and written during biden admin.
>>215545426
Lilly is CUTE and I'm glad she didn't dieBut I'm just not reflecting that since they killed off all the white kids the kid cast is going to be>Lilly>spunky negress from the cinema>Major Nigger's nigger kidsthat's not a good racial ratio for me personally
>>215545273Trump is retarded, yes. Not relevant to this discussion though.
>>215545348It's just Pennywise playing with his meal. I don't think they were real people being possessed.
>>215544394I turned it off when the Jewish chanting started. Sorry, I just can't stomach their representation in every fucking hollywood shlock out there. Might be something to do with the genocide in Gaza, and it's not like I hate every jew out there now, but whatever I just refuse to watch their propaganda anymore.
>>215545551Lay off the drugs, Stephen. You're misreading shit again.
>>215545616Go to bed, Donald.
>>215544394will this show finally adapt the underage gangbang sequence from the book?
>>215545535Girl goes to bathroom only to have her hole fingered bloody.Making a white baby in a white family is a terrifying concept.Some SS knock offs just randomly beat the dog shit out of military personnel and instead of calling out an alarm the characters talk about hair.I.....I just want to see kids ripped apart by an unstoppable clown monster that gets away with it all.
>>215545633It's a prequel to the story with the gangbang. The best you're going to get is a few blowjobs, maybe some hand stuff.
>>215545633Takes place before that. Probably gonna have lesbian interracial bullshit though.
>>215545625(you) farmers are so pathetic
>>215545348A little bit of both. Normal people cursed from Derry used as a pennywise toy. The line is always intentionally thin though.
I don´t suppose anyone has this infamous lampshade webm
>>215545273He seems easily duped. Somebody send him a link to an AI video of Trump getting fucked by a nigger or something.
>>215545732It's not actually as silly as /tv/ wants you to believe so I assume nobody cared enough to make one yet. It's pretty much just like any other IT scene
>>215545741It's got to be something he can rage over. Like Trump eating an immigrant child.
>>215545732>>215545772pics of it are online. does it do anything?
>>215545865It tries talking to the kid, falls off the table, and rolls toward him
>>215545865that shit was actually was less silly and scarier than you could expect from such a retarded notion. unlike the fucking mongo mutant bat baby who was just cringe
>>215545941way* not second was
so no lampshade webm, no batbaby webm, in fact no webm's at all ? Looks like you unfuckable losers have some work to do, chop chop.
>>215545975
>>215545732dunno why people are sperging about the lamp boogeyman when some of IT's form are downright retarded like the flying vampire clams from the Hockstetter's fridge... dont even get me started on how Beverly was supposed to die from some blood splurging out of her bathroom. sometimes IT just does silly shit for scary giggles
>>215544574It was interesting seeing the soft disclosure that the Holocaust is fake and that jews make things up to get their way. The lampshades thing has been completely obliterated since the 70's and really helps to raise awareness that the entire narrative is suspect considering they've been caught lying about multiple aspects of it before.
>>215545273He's like 80 ans has lived in a cabin in the woods for his entire life, leave him alone. Also, stop looking to celebrities for guidance.
>>215545348I don't think even the writers know the answer to that question.
>>215545348I think since they appeared in the film with Matty that they were a real family that had fallen foul of Pennywise
>>215546032Pennywise feeds on fear, making the kids scared shitless from illusions is part of the hunt
>>215545642> the characters talk about hair.Did they really do the muh black people hair special thing?I decided never to watch a new piece of Hollywood slop somewhere around 2023 and there's literally never been a single thing that's made me regret it. All of the good movies are already made and there's more of them then could ever be seen.
Apologize and admit the 1990 TV show was best.
>>215546448it was still shit compared to the books. better than the new movies but that's a low bar to clear. the only thing good from Muschietti's shit is putting the first part in the 80's instead of the 50's because that era was way too "camp horror" to be impactful nowadays.
>>215546508>putting the first part in the 80'sThey only did that to please the basedlennials that were eating up the 80's nostalgia at that time.
It's Londonderry.Do you say "Kyiv" and "Turkiye" too?
>>215546547>They only did that to please the basedlennialsyou mean the target audience? because nobody should care about pleasing the basedboomers like King did, being a boomer himself.
>>215546616>you mean the target audience?yes ?
>>215546508The kid actors were pretty good. Smart idea to make it a mini series and do all the shooting in one go.Child actors age way too fast to play in streaming shows. A 15 year old can't play a 12 year old.
>>215544394We need to be better clown monsters
>>215546638then we agree. the jump wasnt even that far-fetched: some cover art for the novels was marketed in 80's tones instead of the 50's when it came out.
>>215546654>Smart idea to make it a mini seriesit was. and it still should be the only choice of making an actual good adaptation of the books: 10 or 12 episodes mini-series HBO style.
>>215546508The book sucked. It was just the usual Stephen King 50's kids, except this time, they meet Freddy Krueger
>>215546722>that cover artWell, I don´t know what was going on in France at that point, but it looks like they were trying to market it as goosebumps style books.
>>215546762why the fuck are you in this thread tardo?
>>215546313Nobody is looking to King for guidance.and yes, he's a super millionaire who insists on putting his stupid opinions out there, hoping to influence people. Fuck his dumb ass.
>>215544394we have never seen Pennywise make a kill in non clown formthey fucked up
>>215546771it worked because I read IT at 8was quite suprised by some of the content to say the least kek
>>215546773Geesh, Stephen, calm the fuck down.
>>215546722that last cover is kind of a spoiler, isn't it?
>>215546313why would you think that? sure he has homes in maine but you really think he's not constsntly going to cocaine parties in ny and la?
>>215546213 Lampshades come from Nazi bitch of Buchenwald, she had lampshades made of human skin.
>>215546771>trying to market it as goosebumps style booksGoosebumps covers were nowhere as gnarly at the time.
So did jew, girl 2 and the other kid actually die?
>>215546877Oh my goodness. How awful.
>>215544394Lame ripoff of “Stranger Things” with FAR less interesting kids and story. Turned it off halfway thru the first ep cuz it was so frigging uninteresting.
So Dick Halloran was in the military and fought against a child killing alien that can manipulate space and time and yet when he goes to the Overlook he just dismisses the supernatural threat as ghosts that can't harm you and allows Danny and his family to be in danger?
>>215547430Wait, this is supposed to be the same guy from The Shining?for fucks sake.
>>215544574Given that these things were probably written 1-2 years ago it’s probably just October 7 bullshit, just like the Jew/nazi stuff in the Gein show.
>>215544574>I'm a lampshade! What do you think about that? I turned myself into a lampshade! W-w-what are you just staring at me for, bro, I turned myself into a lampshade, Morty.
>They needed six million lampshades for the war effort! This actually happened!
>>215546790illiterate tourist zoomer spotted.Most of Its kills are in non-clown forms in the book.
>>215546762I think the book is great but to each his own. If a competent director and team was in charge, it could be adapted to a tv series of about 20 one hour long episodes and it could be amazing. Alas, we are stuck with mostly shit films and series that completely do not understand the horror, dread and atmosphere of the book.
>>215547430This guy's called Hanlon. Halloran is the guy from the theater I think.
>>215546817in a way but you wouldnt get any of it before finishing the book so I suppose it's not so important.
>>215547645There is no way there are that many magical negros.
>>215547430looks like the writing team from The Witcher decided to have a go at Stephen's King books. which they promptly didnt read ofc
>>215547430His shine wasn’t powerful enough to give the ghosts the ability to effect corporeal beings
>>215547722But he still would have know the potential, especially after meeting Danny and experiencing Danny's shine. In the book and the movie he believes as long as Danny stays out of certain areas he'll be fine.
>>215547790bro, it's not that deep: the writers of this shit show are retards.
>>215544394(SH) “IT: Welcome to Derry”(ere)Was the choice of Derry intentional for the coprophilia joke?
>>215544788sorry, meant Londonderry
So the clown made her fart, right?
>>215546394>Did they really do the muh black people hair special thing?No, not even sure what you're referencing here. >I decided never to watch a new piece of Hollywood slopOh so you haven't even watched the show you felt the need to come into a discussion thread about and ask retarded questions. Fuck off.
>>215547430What's this guys problem anyway? Is he secretly Vietnamese?
I thought it was alright, but the interrogation scene was silly. How did 3 men sneak onto a military base, assault two officers very loudly and then successfully escape?
Nothing special about itThe theater baby CGI was fucking awful and retarded>buttt hurrrr durrr keeedz and nostalgia and diversity peopleand somehow it instantly shoots up to an 8 star IMDB rating. Ya fucking right........
>“We did two movies already. One thing that we didn’t want was to — given that we’re using the same tone and the style as the movies — is get people too familiar [with the story mechanics]. We really wanted to create a subversion to get people excited. It has to do also with raising the volume a little in terms of intensity and spectacle.”>Andy Muschietti on the ending of the first episodeKilling off the kids was good in terms of story mechanics but the clusterfucks they try to pass off as scary are too much. They need to tone shit that down--Pennywise shaking his head back and forth at 5x speed and running toward the camera while making Three Stooges sounds is dumb as is the CG demon baby. There was no reason for the baby to come back at the end of the episode either--it would honestly have been a lot better if it were just a B movie monster the kids would have been familiar with.
>>215548718>We really wanted to create a subversionI want to hit these brain dead retards in the head with a tack hammer until they develop some common sense.
>>215544441/Thread
>>215544655She looks like a guy in this scene, she probably queefed on him, ew.
I liked that the kids thought that it was really Matty trying to get a hold of them. If we didn't know as an audience that Pennywise was most likely just messing with them, it would have been a believable concept in a supernatural show like this. Dead or kidnapped wanting to be saved and using some magic shit to reconnect with his friends.
>>215548797Subversion is nice. Stop acting like you only started watching media 10 years ago.
I did not expect them to kill the main cast in first episode, or is that only because its a "pilot"
Man this was the dumbest shit I've seen in a long time. Why even take the time to introduce us to our two main characters just to kill them off like "Haha fooled you! They weren't main characters at all" Yeah my expectations were subverted alright, but not in a good way.
>>215549084Oh please. There's actual subversion and then there's this cheap pulling the rug-trick just for the sake of it.
>>215546032I thought the flying bloodsucking clams was an ass pull by Pennywise because that particular kid was a literal sociopath that was incapable of experiencing fear. Seem to recall Pennywise just being kinda blurry where it was just confused because the kid was giving him absolutely nothing to latch on to make him afraid at all so he just said "fuck it. Clams, I guess" and he drained the kid like a juice box. It's worth noting because it solidifies the concept that Pennywise does NOT feed off the fear of others for sustence.
>>215546373He doesn't feed on fear. He just likes the flavor of meat scared shitless. The more steeped in fear it is, the better it tastes.
>>215546394No, it was an Italian guy wondering if his hair still looked okay.
>>215546877And then the items were tested to verify if they were made from human skin and it turns out that they were not.
amazing first episode except for the part where the masked man attack the pilot. Like when the fight ends the pilots just stay in the room, not trying to alert no one when they were attacked in a military complex and nigger pilot was asked for military secrets. Nothing happened, just a fucking quip
>>215544394Typical HBGoy zogslop.
>>215545192He's probably missing that pussy amirite fellas?
>>215549354Explain the difference then for me, and why this show falls under pulling the rug and not subversion. And also "pulling the rug" is not just another usage for subversion, one isn't inherently more negative.
>>215549398yeah Patrick's clams are a special case because it was actually disgust from a previous experience with leeches and not exactly terror. Pennywise was blurry after the clams attack tho, when it brought an inconscious Patrick to the sewers.but some other forms are equally retarded like the giant fucking Paul Bunyan statue
>>215549084>Subversion is nice.
>>215549398they werent clams, hochstetter was deathly afraid of leeches from a prior experience with them so pennywise made him see flying leeches to fuck with him.i thought it was actually a pretty scary idea.
CGIslop and "second screen" content for the FNAF generation.
>>215548710I will forever wonder why this dog did this.
