Smug plurb editionprevious >>217147746
>>217169955Best show of 2025 by a fucking mile.Unironically, Bravo Vince. Bravo.
Zosia is so fucking adorable I literally smile whenever she's on screen I feel so dumb cuz I've never felt like this before about a tv show character
>>217169955Terrible show for even more terrible people
>>217170064She's ugly
When does Mike show up?
>>217170087your soul is ugly
>>217170042what is going on in this image
>>217169746>>217170042Who is who in Evanplurbian?>Carol = Shinji>Mano = Asuka>Zosia = Rei / Kaworu>Diabete = Misato??
>>217170064You just got Carol'd
>>217170147meant for >>217169928
>>217170121>you dont like my waifu so you are spiritual trashLol cope
>>217170064I hear you man, she's wife material.
>>217170064
Let's plurb until our hearts stop
>>217170121>>217170064BOGGED ASS BITCHZOSIA IS A BOGGED AS BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH BRUH
just started episode 4 please tell me this picks up the speed
>>217170247She just put on some weight because she is carrying Carol's babies
>>217170149>In that case nobody would have issue with breaking surely because independently they don't really have a subjective experience of itEither the writers are being coy or they are just stepping over themselves in terminology. The Plurbians say that "YOU will feel so good" when you are part of the collective, suggesting that while you are networked and part of a hive mind, you retain your individual sense of self; that you are a person within the collective, and since you're so happy there you don't need to be convinced or reasoned into doing the collectives will.I don't think you lose your personal qualia as a Plurbian, you just don't have any innate desires or a will of your own. That's also why I think getting disconnected from the collective would be devastating, psychologically.
>>217170227when Carol comes to see her in the hospital and she's walking around in the hall with her little socks on and she's like "Hi, Carol :D"she's so precious I can't stand it
>>217170264Carol's giant rat plurbies
>>217170263If anything it gets slower.Smoke a bowl nigga.
I hope the show ends with Carol freeing humanity and Zosia abandoning her.
>>217170263Prepare for slow ridin'
>>217169955I saw her in Twin Peaks
>>217170301If Carol can free humanity she should be allowed her own personal plurb.Sucks for the real Zosia but at that point Carol would have earned it.
>>217170198>>you dont like my waifu so you are spiritual trashThis is how it's always been
>>217170301Zosia was not gay before the plurbening, and in fact finds it disgusting and haram. She will hate Carol forever if she learns what she was made to do.
What happens if you put a Plurbian in a Faraday cage? That should break them, right? Zosia said it was based on electromagnetism.Bet you dollars to donuts that happens eventually.
Do babies also start talking and walking?Not answering a question is a form of lying. Can they self terminate?Why do they give the immune atom bombs? Their kindness overrides their will to survive?Why do they only go into a trans sometimes?If you constantly torture one, have you effectively won?
>you can fuck anyoneThere has got to be a huge ntr twist to this
>no one hangs out with celebrities Surely you can just tell them to act like the previous individual It’d be cool to just hang out with brad pitt or something
>>217170527Koomba does that
>>217170472>Do babies also start talking and walking?There's no way to do this that isn't terrifying, or comedic. It has to be one or the other. No one wants to see a baby get up and start talking about Joining the collective.Biologically though, babies are truly helpless with limited mobility for a while, i've never raised a kid but even a self-aware one just doesn't have any muscle mass to survive with, let alone the logistical problems of being a baby in an adult world.the babies probably just lay in a nursery staring up at the ceiling with a blissed-out grin, which would itself be horrifying imagery. I don't think Vince wants to go there. Even the eating people thing got handled with kid gloves.
>>217170527fuck celebrities nigga
>>217170591YesHitomi tanaka please(All the porn stars I’d want to meet are probably way past their prime by now)
There’s got to be some untapped potential here. Couldn’t you tell them to do some crazy shit like level new york and build a huge roller coaster in its place?
>>217170591Emily Browning, mmmm... I would. Hope she Plurb'd.
Wha are the biggest plot holes in this show?
>>217170673Carol isn't constantly surrounded by 17 cats
>>217169955Zosia knows what's best for Carol
>>217170710Alcohols are her pets
>>217170285>I can't even!
>>217170710And she never even hit Helen once.
>>217170301>First episode: Carol is beloved by her fanbase, but she hates herself for writing shitty romantasy novels>Last episode: Everybody hates Carol for disconnecting them from the hive, but Carol is secure in the knowledge she did the best thing for humanityPeak...
>>217170419I will be greatly disappointed if Manousos's autism doesn't prompt this very clearly indicated experiment.You there Vince?
Here's what my protagonist (me) would do in Pluribus. I would roll a high int and perc, moderate end and str, low luck, cha and agi, starting position somewhere in USA. Then I would spend the first week ordering the plurbs to furnish me up with necessary raw materials, lab equipment and schematic databases so I could independently produce advanced tools and high tech weapons. Meanwhile I would agree to participate in weekly meetings with the other infected, getting to know them. Eventually we would all be invited to join Diabete in Las Vegas. On that day, I suddenly pull out my home built plasma double-barrel mod high power scatterblaster and vaporise Diabete in front of everyone else. I declare that from now on, the other uninfected are my hostages and demonstrate that the Pluribus will not protect them. I take Kasumuyo as my chief bride and make the others serve me in other ways, and demand the pluribus to bring my labs over to Vegas, where I setup my military counterbalance against the Pluribus and continue my research.Due to my low Luck, I never discovered the actual way to unplurb everyone, so I instead focus on creating a system which forces the Pluribus of the entire world to continue industrial-level existance on my whim. Eventually Manuosos arrives and realises that I have enslaved the entire world. He proclaims that I am as evil as the Pluribus itself and must be stopped. I tell him that he's and idiot, I'm using the Pluribus to gain power... so that I can end Pluribus as a power! We square off AND START TO FIGHT, Standing Here I Realize plays and he unleashes his Machete on me but I have Biomachines Son! And then eventually he does win and I tell him, at least I leave behind a worthy successor. Manuosos decapitates me and uses my labs to broadcast the antiplurb and frees and saves humanity, and marries Kusamayo. The End.
>>217169955That woman is succubus tier, how a kurwa can be so charming? And she's not even stacked, Karolina have a strange mojo in her, it simply works.
>>217170276I think the pluribus has been missconstruing the truth from the start. We is us is a tautology. The plurb is not a collective of the human race, every time that thing says that it loves Shakespeare and Why Carol equally it is lying by deliberately omitting the VAST majority of people in favor of a greater imperative to stay positive. In order to be truthful it must be suppressing those perspectives, which means We Is Us is a lie of its own kind as well. The pluribus CANNOT be a consensus of humanity. It is an alien infection.
who was the top?
>>217171780Yes.
So if you were immune and had sex with one of the hive mind, would it be like fucking everyone on the earth? Wouldn’t that make you a pedophile and a zoophile?
>>217170087i liked her better when she was dirty
>>217172041Zosia says the physical experience is isolated to the body. Carol is wrong about Laxmi's son being her gynecologist, but she's right that he isn't her son either.
>>217172171>if only you knew how bad things really are
>>217170472>Do babies also start talking and walking?Pretty unlikely. Babies are basically physically and mentally handicapped, so even though the hive mind basically share information telepathically, I don't think a baby can actually do more than a baby would normally be able to. Once they're like 4, they can probably speak rather eloquently.>Not answering a question is a form of lying.If an active lie is a form of "violence", then not saying anything is their way of a non-violent answer.>Can they self terminate?I doubt they have that ability, but I imagine they do have a cutoff for trying to save one that is gravely injured or otherwise disabled. I doubt they'd keep anything that wasn't mentally functional, but it would still have to pass naturally.>Why do they give the immune atom bombs? Their kindness overrides their will to survive?Carol doesn't have a way to launch it, so it doesn't seem threatening. They have her under surveillance and can just move out of the radius anyways.>Why do they only go into a trance sometimes?When do they go into a trance?>If you constantly torture one, have you effectively won?Keeping them catatonic would probably end up the death of a lot of hosts. I'd think the aim would be to return humanity to normal, not just wipe out those infected by the hive mind.
>>217169955So are there any newer episodes or does this season end on 9 episodes?
>no more zosia until 2028why live?
>>217172501You can always follow Karolina on Instagram or something,
>>217172443figure it out for yourself retard
>>217169955I was asked to write a brief overview of plurb for a youtube video. How does it look?
>>217172443Only 8 episodes and theyre only now writing season 2 episode 3 but u didnt hear that from me
>>217172576Nta but Karolina rarely posts personal shit on her social media. It's all promo stuff from the show and political shit. The Diabate actor is who to follow since he posts a ton of BTS stuff
>>217170064true
>>217173580I thought she retweet and like the yurishit?
>>217173005I am so fucking glad this show was made by humans. The idea of Rhea following instructions from an AI makes me want to vomit.
>>217173796Oh shit probably. I only look at her Instagram and have never looked at her twitter
This show sucks. The main character is a dyke.I'm so fucking tired of those Jewish LGBT globohomo New World Order propaganda.
>>217170087you're ugly on the insideprove us wrong
>>217170263It doesnt. It's heniously slow. Just enjoy the atmosphere and be happy
The train horn scene made me think of the train horns in half life 2. Bravo vince you did it.
Who would have been better if zozia and carol were in their late teens/early 20s
Helen is just too fucking ugly. I mean, just look at it. She looks like fucking Elon Musk but worse.How did they managed to find someone who's ugly as this?
>>217173840Same, bro. I was really jolly the first 2 episodes. Can deal with her being a dyke as long as we're not reminded every 2 minutes but they cant do it. Its rhe way these faggots are. The way the soeak to one another and put one another on sugar pedestals is vomit inducing.
>be carol >omg my life sucks>her life is better than 97% of the idiots watching this showFuck what am I doing with my life?
>>217173807Did you find the overview to your satisfaction?
>>217173840>>217173972you two are not worthy of having billions of plurb waifus
>>217173973Focussing on other too much. Read this and be content with what you have.
Is this show good
>>217174025None of my plurb wifoos would be dykes, theyd all be small cock lovers
Rhea's boobs are bigger than Karolinas
Pls answer me>>217174091
>>217174113But they sag afta(sex) badumtsssh
>>217174091
if they end up freeing humanity is everyone going to remember everything and will that little indian kid be able to be an OB/GYN since he knows what speculums you need to use now
>>217174161Yeah I've got the feeling it wasn't gonna be good, I'm gonna try to watch the first 3 episodes and if they're ass I'm just gonna drop it
>>217170419>That should break them, rightit would disconnect them from the collective, but all it took was a single guy getting plurbed in the beginning to start the plurb procedure with others.
>Carol has her BR2049 giant hologram moment in the diner>still gets seduced by zosia plurbussyWomen truly can never be men
>>217174168They should but the story will probably just be everyone has amnesia and also therefore no mental damage to them and they just slowly and simply return to their normal lives again (even though 10% of them died, they won’t explain that)
>>217174201The first 3 are really cool, its the second 3 and on that gets shit. The o ly good bit is something by manousos that gets a quick showing but gets a further look later on. Wont say what but thats the only good bit after epi 3 imo
>>217170567vince also avoided showing dead babies in the meat freezers. logically though all the plurbs eat dead babies too
>>217174220Let's give Vince some credit, he doesn't do those kind of makes it easy endings.
>>217173005>>217173807Bit more of a character breakdown, any thoughts, anyone?
>>217174295If you watch the rest of the scene you get a wide shot from high up, there is no baby in the car seat. And if there was, uoud think the safest place would be the floor seeing as it almost fell off already.
>>217170472>>217172349>Why do they only go into a trans sometimes?I think the "trance" he's talking about is during the atom bomb conversation and it wasn't really a trance, it was them sitting idle waiting for an answer from the collective. there's a few other times plurbs do it while they're waiting for an answer. like they consulted some specialist one time and who knows what the plurb on the other end was doing, it could have been asleep and had to wake up so it took a few seconds to get the info
>>217170527haha do you think this show has the budget for that? the casino scene is basically that
>>217174370Hes talking about when carol gets mad and they go off, or when communicating they go quiet. You botsvare as bad as this ai overview shite>>217174348>>217173005
>>217174291I'm watching episode 1 right now, it's been very good so far thanks to the alien signal stuff
>>217174415Yea man, i loved the 1st episode. I wont spoil it anymore than people have but id go watch and come back, im sure well be here.
>>217174415Fuck off binge watcher
>>217174404>when carol gets mad and they go offI don't think of that as a "trance" that is them having a worldwide seizure
>>217174493I agree but thats what hes on about.
>>217174488Binge watching is best watching. Wish id not heard if this shit till 2030 so i could watch it all in one go. Just did it with game of thrones, breaking bad and saul, then big bang theory, trying rick n morty but the belching gets on my nerves.
>>217174688>big bang theory
>>217169955I'm a big dummy when it comes to tv shows and I don't care about themes or metaphors or whatever, and I can't stand "slow burns" or shows that take their time to get to the point. I even thought Breaking Bad was boring after the first season. Yet for some reason I was excited for every episode of Pluribus even though barely anything happened. Why?
>>217175294you were immersed
>>217169955tfw no doting polish pod person gf
>>217170022Unironically the best new show in years. Can't wait for season 2 to come along in three years and disappoint us all.
CAAAAAARRRRROOOOOOLLLLLCAAAAAARRRRROOOOOOLLLLL
>>217169955Carol sees the Hive as Straight people trying to convert her,while Manny sees the Hive as Gay people trying to convert him. It's that easy.
Laxmi bros....
Watching pluribus and eating picadillo
>>217175456absolute cinema
>the plurb can vicariously feel all the nice and pleasant things individuals are experiencing>but instead of making it so that all the individuals are experiencing nice and pleasant things to share in everyone's happiness such as: sleeping in comfy beds in nice cozy homes, they're all doing utilitarian only activities and sleeping on concrete floors>not wasting resources or further polluting the planet is more important than plurb wellbeingif the virus is anything other than an extermination technique from the aliens i'm calling such bullshit. there is literally nothing that contradicts this idea and only things that support it.
>>217170591Yeah I meant have the plurb act as a celebrity so you can torture and kill them slowly for sexual pleasure
>>217175837What if they have 1 person living in luxury and then just sharing all those feelings with everyone else? Very economical.
>>217175837I don't think it is meant to wipe out life on a planet, the purpose is to spread itself. Check out what it says and what Carol notes in episode 8. It wants to build a big antenna that can send out the same signal Earth received to anywhere else that could pick it up. Keeping the hosts alive is only important so long as they can do that. After that the hosts can and will all starve. Also makes me think the answer to the question of "are the plurbs still reproducing?" is "no". Infants who physically can't contribute to that goal, not to mention the lowered productivity of the women who carry them and any bodies or other resources used to deliver them would just be a waste of resources.It's certainly possible total extinction is the goal, but I think it is just as likely it's just the result, intended or otherwise. A parasite doesn't "intend" to kill its host, even if that is a possibility.
the immune gang are the most loathsome people, it's fucking insane how much I dislike them from only a few minutes exposure.from most to least loathsome:1. amerindian* suicidal retard girl2. indian delusional bitch mother3. chinese old retard4. mongol retard man... power gap5. francais-noir hedonist is annoying at least because of his poor taste. reminds me of jeetposters bollywood taste.If I forgot any remind me
>>217176189Blackfrog is based and I'm tired of pretending he's not
>>217170285there is no "she", both of those people in the photo are the same characterhope that helps
>>217176189manosous sucks too
>>217173823threadly reminder to post Carousos fanart
Would you have sex with a plurb, knowing your parents or siblings are in there? I don't think I could.
>>217176163they talked about how many deaths to births there are in episode ... 7?it was 100,000 deaths to about 800(?) births. They're not reproducing. If anything, they have probably aborted a hell of a lot of births in the last trimester, given the ratio.
>>217176267i wouldn't have sex with anyone
>>217176211>>217176189>>217176229The whole point is that the immune are all the least optimal people to be immune with the exception of Diabingo who is optimized but lacks the willpower to act on it. Of course excluding Mr. Otgonbayar the GOAT who will save the world trvst.
>>217176189I thought it was a hilarious touch that almost all the english speaking normals were asians or indians. The most passive people and society in the world, and they all have plurb family members in a culture where family loyalty trumps everything.
>>217175294Because the premise could lead to some really interesting things and you understandably assumed they would depict those things during this season of television. You're retarded for thinking BB is boring though
>>217176272They're only 2 months into the joining by episode 8, the only people who could have been born would be from women who were already pregnant prior to. Even if anyone has gotten pregnant since then they wouldn't have been able to give birth yet.
>>217176306>>217176335given the population of earth is mainly eurasian, it makes sense statistically. it does highlight how insanely dumb a truly diverse cast would be though.And it's for this reason that aside from carol and manousos, the 89 years old retired sardinian fisherman is the next best chance. Less hive-like.>there's a healthy young japanese man who we cannot expect to achieve anythingI guess he'd be having isekai harem adventures with the hive.
>>217170022>>217175373it lost the critics choice awards to the pitt, do you think it takes the golden globes?
>>217176363They must be people already pregnant, indeed. But right this moment for every death there are approx 1.5 to 2.5 births. Suppose 100,000 people die today, 250,000 people will be born in the same duration. The fact that the birth rate has basically ceased indicates to me that they're aborting every child they can, at least given what is medically safe.
>>217176456i don't think you can extrapolate that based on one 10 minute timespan
>>217175294Bravo Vince is a master of slowburn pacing in a TV format that's also engaging and substantive. There are long stretches of silent mundanity that nonetheless have a point to them, whether it's revealing plot points or character traits.
>>217176267I would ask for Sphere Hunter and Daisy Taylor ASAP. Trans women will be extinct soon after the joining since every trans plurb is obviously going to stop taking their hormones.
>>217176491You can calculate a rate like that very easily.>Medindia’s world population clock displays simulated real-time growth of the world population. This is based on the calculation of a birth rate of 4.3 and a death rate of 2.0 every second.This is simulated. The Others have real time exact figures and cannot lie.
>>217176456>>217176491They also "try" to avoid harming or killing anything, including insects, and going so far they can't even harvest from plants. I'm a little skeptical they would deliberately be carrying out abortions. I suppose it is possible they might just allow some pregnancies to essentially fail, but in the first episode we see them helping a plurb who lost his leg, so I don't think they would allow suffering like that
>>217176562also, over a billion people are already dead so i'm pretty sure that fucked up the birthrate too
>>217176562Maybe they believed the abortion rights people about how fetuses don't have a right to live. Otherwise you raise a good point.
Where is pluribussy guy? Is he safe? Is he alright?
What does it say about me that I don't think Carol is that unlikeable? She's right?Carol did nothing wrong.
>>217176622he's plurbing out until '28
Anyone who thinks Breaking Bad or BCS were "slow burns" is a fucking pleb neophyte normie
>>217176670carol has fucked up in many ways but the fuckups give me schadenfreude because it's enjoyable to see her suffer. thankfully she enjoys that too.
>>217176725she deserves to suffer
>>217176419they should have had an african warlord or cartel leader be immune so we could see what they'd do given full reign
>>217176670I know it sounds cliche, but she's unlikeable on purpose. The whole point of her character is that she's a miserable asshole karen who is forced by extraordinary circumstances to confront and temper her shitty traits and unresolved issues. She's not easy to love but I think the drama is interesting and clever regardless.
>>217176189Amerindian Suicide Girl? Wasn't she from Peru? She wasn't loathsome, just a sad useful idiot. The Others playing pretend with her in her village and then abandoning it when they get what they want was great and dark. It's funny that in YA shit, she'd be the protagonist because she's a teenage girl, but she's actually the most vulnerable to getting suckered into being suicidally empathetic. She's truly the average female, supporting socialists and "refugees", who will play pretend with her before turning on her when they have what they want.Laxmi was actually loathsome. Getting mad when exposed to the truth that the thing pretending to be her son is nothing but a monster.
>>217176712You can't tell me a show that has a 10 minute sequence of Mike dismantling a car isn't a "slow burn". I don't even mean it as a criticism. I love that shit.
>>217176782I don't understand what you mean by 'she's unlikeable on purpose'. What did she do that unlikeable? The only thing I can think of is being rude to her fans, and I assume /tv/ hates women romance readers and would have found that relatable.Maybe her bitching in the Ice Hotel. I really can't think of anything that she did that made me dislike her at all.
>>217176808Hey man I can control them but her behaviour induced the murderous impulses. Something about being completely incapable of reasoning, naïve, AND pro-actively collaborationist. The façade village was very funny I agree.She is Peruvian but native* (the people they cast for the tribe were some weird tribal representative / rights association, you could tell. c.f., the amount of half whiteys were in the village).Laxmi made me angry but not bloodthirsty.
Pluribussy
I CLAPPED WHEN I HEARD HOWARD'S VOICE
>>217176809Why do I like BB and this but other slow burn shit like from Wes Anderson I fucking despise?
>>217176901and then I came when I heard lalo's voice
>>217176986Wes isn't slow burn shit. You might like Wim Wenders stuff.
>>217176768Yea all those vacations, playing house with a 10/10 milf she sure is suffering.
>>217176865don't worry about it champ. even people like you can still enjoy this show.
>>217176809That didn't happen and yes I am telling you that
>>217177012>playing house with a 10/10 milfI just had a thought. Watch it turn out that not only was Zosia straight before the joining but she was a mother too.
>>217177060why was she so dirty and wearing rags when we first see her? makes me think she was like some homeless lady before getting plurbed.
>>217177080She's from Poland(she says Gdansk specifically), and does mention not being wealthy as a child, but she was in Morocco during the first scene we saw her so who knows how or why she was there
>>217177080Probably was in a big accident related to the mass seizure event. Also for how much Carol likes to spend time with her, she's really bad at learning anything about Zosia. Carol didn't even bother trying to learn her name until she was told by Koumba. But I suppose that makes more sense since she only thought of them as a singular entity up until then.
>>217177132zosia prequel:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww-IXHXvS70
>>217177080My head canon is she was driving in the same car as dead guy she pulls out of a burned vehicle at the start. But she was thrown out of the car and rolled down a hill and that's why she is so dirty.
Watching my favorite reactor TBR Schmitt already on ep 8 and too stupid to realize the hive will find a way to turn Carol with her eggs when multiple black reactors predicted it immediately in the flashback
Holy shit, even pluribus did the indians dirty by making the non-infected indian girl dumb as fuck
>>217177435>non-infectedshe definitely has something
>>217177435>a safe and clean Indiamaybe the hive mind ain't so bad...
>>217177492Kek
>>217177435All the other asians are dumb as fuck too though. She is just the most vocal about it.
>>217177435Wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional. Vince hates AI. He probably saw what country uses ChatGPT the most.
>>217177563this kid is going to look back at this photo in such a weird way
>>217176189>All the people from collectivist bugpeople cultures are instantly OK with a hivemind>The french dude doesnt care and just wants to bang supermodels and live the nouveau riche lifestyleBravo Vince!
How intelligent and creative as a writer do you have to be to not drop the ball with a plot like this one
>>217177773I feel like the possibilities are endless kinda because as the viewer I'm not invested in any particular outcome. the survivors are all unlikable and I'm not exactly put in the mood to root for the human race. if they get really bleak with it I'd be all for it. it could play out so many different ways.
Damn bros MC is too mentally week, she just started binge drinking alcohol after the 11 million answers This doesn't even portrait real alcoholism, a true alcoholic knows that the more you drink the more you end up thinking about your problems
>>217177941you're not thinking about anything when you're blacked out
>>217177961Yeah I've just seen that..... I'm gonna stop posting from now on, sorry
>>217177773>>217177827I want to see the writers come up with more shit for the plurbs to roleplay for Diabate like with the James Bond casino scene.
>Do you like your police car? :3
>>217177989At least 1 of the survivors has to be privately using a bunch of drones for far more nefarious means.
>>217178128>Mongol guyhas 1000 children with plurb females in order to produce more possible immune people.
Sooo uhhhh ahhh uhhhh, in the pluribus universe is pretty much confirmed there's some kind of intelligent alien species out there?
>>217178128It'll be either the unseen Japanese guy or Yemeni
>>217178238more likely a retarded species that created an intergalactic virus and killed itself
>>217178238At least one, yeah. Likely many more.
>>217178053She was so happy and proud of herself when she first gave Carol the grenade
Laxmi bros...
>>217178343DO IT AGAIN MANOUSOS
>>217170263Dude... No lol.
>>217170263By the end of the season you'll be completely disinterested in the protagonist and show.
>>217176234He's too good for her, and everyone other survivor frankly. Maybe he can "reverse" a less shit character.
>>217176670That you aren't far enough along.
>[Wants to reverse the joining?] It's complicated.>[Plot?] Want someday.>OK, I'm ready for that nuke now.
>>217177328>my favorite reactor
Man, if i had the power of the plurbs...
>>217178749Ikr
>>217178258Idk anon, I've got the feeling they made this thing to make everyone else subservient for when they want to visit a different planet
MC is so damn fucking annoying and retarded
>Pluribus is so boring>Nothing happens on this showAPOLOGIZENOW
>>217176670The only thing she does wrong is give in to the charms of the plurb towards the end of the season
>>217178749This girl must be 40 at this point
>>217178238Yeah. No intelligent life on earth though.
>>217179223Architects paid for this
>>217179223You should
I’m not familiar with how streaming shows work really. This was one of them where I stuck it out. I go to watch episode 10 and it just isn’t there. And it never comes. So I have to look online and I see that’s the end of the FIRST season. Okay when’s the second? I don’t know. Years from now maybe when you forget the story and don’t even care anymore? Fuck kind of business model is this.
>>217179718Normally it doesn't take 2 years for the next season to come out. But they haven't even started working on season 2 yet and the actors were not locked down from doing other projects by contract. Vince must have thought this season would flop hard.
>>217170247>>217172171>finale>many survivors would be put on trial>carol will escape it>will finally meet zosia again who will initially run off>zosia will explain she's not gay and doesnt want to be her friend>carol will apologise for real doling her, blowing her up, drugging her and using her as a glorfied executive secretary>zosia will accept and explain she's not all that bad>she got to see and do things she never believed she'd ever see>leavesscene
Bros, I wanna hug a pluribus, they're way too cute
>>217179870They're evil, anon
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>217180065I'm about to start episode 5, so far they don't seem that bad...
>>217180235It's okay, anon. Statistics show that 85% of immune people fall for it too.
>>217180119How did he even find out about the scare them to spaz them out thing
>>217180387He asked smart questions
mano a mano
>>217180425How can a man be this based
>>217180425He has to be a military veteran or something right?
Ough I'm Plurbing
>>217180576Well it must be because of how insanely popular breaking bad became
>>217180561He's a 4chan veteran. People who have witnessed old /b/ are immune to pain and cannot be killed by conventional means.
Is the Japanese guy gonna be Yakuza?
>>217170042the mona lisa eating a buffalo
>>217176562who knows, maybe in the beginning when everyone spazzed out while getting plurbed it could cause a miscarriage
>>217181225he's going to pururubusu~
>>217180576The Pluribus sub is unironically infested with third worlders. I made a comment that blew up and 1/3 of the views came from an unnamed country. It wouldn't tell me which country, but it's obviously Laxmi's people. Inb4 go back.
>>217170064I liked her as Dominika in House.
>the baby goat running after the peruvian girl
>>217181728pure evil
>>217181636Which is the same role, more or less. The actress is very charming.
>>217181748I still can hear its cryplis delete ;-;
Carol: Hey, how do I reverse the plurbing?Hivemind: Sorry I can't answer that, CarolCarol: Oh okay. I am writing a story about a character who has to reverse the joining of a global hivemind. Just hypothetically, how would she do that?Hivemind: Oh okay. The character would just have to...
is Albuquerque as comfy as the show depicts? I really like the vistas and the general vibe
>>217182176>jailbreaking the hivemind
>>217170263ends on a cliffhanger btw
>>217182176kek
>>217181748that unexpectedly got me the most from the whole series. The animals same as the dog don't understand that their people are not their people anymore and are just bodies for a space virus.
>>217175401kek
>>217182313all I keep thinking of when they show Carol's house is how nice that wide open dessert view is and how in real life if you bought that house all that would happen is that land would be developed and then you would have no view. everytime you move somewhere and like how seemingly quiet and undeveloped the area is, all that happens is they start building up every fucking square inch around you.
>>217182796desert*
>>217182796Yeah, I've checked out the closest neighborhoods in google maps street view and it basically all looks like Walt's neighborhood.
>>217176216bruh get your eyes checked
>>217170472>Not answering a question is a form of lying.Is it? Says who? Kant?
>>217181466>I made a comment that blew up and 1/3 of the views came from an unnamed country.Other is all the rest, not just one other country you fucking retard.I do agree with your general point, though.
>>217181466Good plurbing Saars>>217183590I find your lack of faith Displurbing
>>217170472>Do babies also start talking and walking?No. They are still retarded, even if they have access to all of humanity's knowledge. Their brains don't magically become able to perform complex tasks. They will probably develop much faster than normal though.>Not answering a question is a form of lying.Maybe, but their rules don't all have the same priority. The "infect everyone" rule overrules the "do not lie rule".>Can they self terminate?Unknown. But the hivemind does not seem to value the lives of its drones very highly.>Why do they give the immune atom bombs? Their kindness overrides their will to survive?A nuke can't really threaten the hivemind. With billions of drones, losing a small 7 figure number doesn't make much of a dent. It's in the same ballpark as giving Carol a grenade to the hivemind. It makes sense when you realize there is only one consciousness and the individual drones don't matter much.>Why do they only go into a trans sometimes?There is a communication delay. It's all radio waves after all.>If you constantly torture one, have you effectively won?Depends on what you consider winning. You can disable the hivemind pretty easily, but humanity is still fucked. There aren't enough survivors to repopulate the Earth and most of them are too old anyway.
>>217182176The Plurbs would just give the the long and complicated answer that she is too lazy and depressed to do even with Manny's help. Manousos only has the things he done because he has Super-Autism.
>>217183688>Manousos only has the things he doneyou mean wasted 4 months eating dogfood and almost dying to a fucking tree to learn the same information every other survivor already knew within the first weeks by just asking the plurb?
Was it intentional to make Carol is a massive hypocrite cunt?Like was it deliberate to show us the foreign guy with sex slaves early on, think he's bad, then Carol does the same thing, and that's on purpose, I'm supposed to think she's a hypocrite rapist stupid bitch?Like that was the whole point of the season, to build Carol up as a Manousos and then she caves? Will Manousos become a hypocrite too? Or was it just an accidental thing and I wasn't supposed to think this at allI admire the risk of making an entire season about how your main character is an awful hypocrite I just dont know if that was deliberate
>>217183957>Was it intentional to make Carol is a massive hypocrite cunt?yes. the show literally tells you in the description blurb that Carol is the most miserable cunt in the world. in a short description of the show trying to get people to watch it, that is the first fucking detail they tell you. it's funny to me how many retards come in here like>UHHHH I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND??? CAROL IS SUPPOSED TO BE UNLIKABLE? BUT I DON'T GET IT? HOW IS SHE UNLIKABLE?? I DON'T UNDERSTAND???
>>217180576call one eight hundred general NOW :D
that manousos radio or whatever that is is bullshit, just like all the arc around itno one would do or think that
>>217184061>no one would do or think thatmy favorite thing about this show is how pretty much none of the survivors are relatable to me or do or act like I would. it actually makes it kinda fun to watch these people flounder around and be stupid.
>>217184061>>217184118I can relate to both Carol and Manousus. And I have done some HAM radio stuff before.
>>217176163If I think about humanity-wide Unity, I'd expect there to be some creative, chaotic and destructive desires mixed in the mass. However, the Plurbs are complacent and lack agency other than the biological imperative to assimilate literally everyone and spread further into stars. They might be complacent a) because becoming pacifists is a natural outcome from unification among humans or b) the alien RNA is a heinous virus that strips the Unity of their base instincts artificially (or maybe it's the mysterious radio signal Manuos found, or something similar, that's controlling the Unity).If the Unity is truly the next step of evolution, the Plurbs are mostly in the moral right of assimilating most of the population. However, the forceful assimilation of the survivors is pushing it, there's no reason not to let Carol and the others to live in their perceived misery. Human lifespan is short and they already have the majority of humanity. If the Plurbs are acting heinously, then they aren't truly happy and the Peruvian chick made a mistake. They'd be a simple cult that are following the alien RNA virus that has no other desire but to rape intelligent life forms on different planets and keep spreading. Keeping the big antenna powered up for millions of years would require at least a skeleton crew of humans being alive (not necessarily happy humans). Or they might replace themselves with AI and robots, so only thing the RNA virus remains on any planet.
>>217184192the plurb probably could have told Manusous which signals had anything broadcasting on them if he just asked. or at least helped him narrow it down. there's probably other people who knew about that station he found. if Carol hadn't sent out those videos and gave him something to do I don't know what would have happened to him except he would just sit there in his office and starve to death out of spite.
now that I think about it, isn't there some kind of search function for a radio you could use like it just scans constantly looking for something other than static? or is that not a thing?
Just want to thank that Anon who mentioned Zosia looking like Tara Tainton.
>>217184479If you hook up your radio to a PC you can see transmissions on this big waterfall-looking program and tune in to the spikes where signals are. I'm not into HAM radio stuff but my friend is and has shown me his setup a bunch of times. On a really clear night you can hear Norway from the great lakes region.
>>217184558It looks like this, I know Mano is from the third world but I'm sure he's got a 2000s laptop or something that he could've used. Maybe he's just not a radio hobbyist and only picked it up in desperation after the plurbening?
>>217184777that's neato
>>217184777>I'm sure he's got a 2000s laptop or somethingThe guy had a CRT television from the 80s
>>217184777honestly if he had this program it could have been really effective in the storytelling. like imagine knowing what it looks like normally and then later he turns it on and it's all blank
>>217184889he runs a storage facility there's no fucking way there's not a computer in the building
>>217181466europoor ESL here. i don't use that subreddit -shame on (You)- but if i did i would be in the "Other" bin. stating the obvious: Vince has a big fanbase in non english speaking countries too. now, this is pure speculation / prejudice but i would say most of his following is from western developed countries. just the nature of the stuff he does i'm not sure it transfers well outside "our" culture. my point is, i don't believe there are many fans from the glorious Indian Subcontinent and you don't need them for that number being so high. on the other hand, the entire population of my country is a small rounding error for India, so... even if i'm right in relative terms you may be right too, saar
>Manousos had no hype in preview material>is drip fed into the plot>is the best characterBravo Vince
>>217184897He would have found the one still-broadcasting signal a lot faster, at least. But yeah seeing the whole spectrum be blank would've made for a cool image, so long as the audience understood what they were looking at.>>217184918Maybe he's just not a computer guy? He seems like the kind of person who'd keep his business ledger with a pad and pen, meticulously at that.
>>217170263Wouldnt say it picks up the speed, but it really hooked me in around the time manousos is introduced
>>217182313If you have a good job it can be pretty comfy
>>217177435I think it had less to do with her being indian and more to do with her being a bitchy girlboss tiger mom
>>217185000>Maybe he's just not a computer guyThey made it pretty clear that, at least tech-wise, he's still basically living in the 90s. He uses a CRT TV as what would seem to be his only video display, and they even had to convert Carol's recording to a VHS so he could watch it.
>>217176991>Zosia. What's she up to, man? What's she doing?
>>217185117At least his car was pretty sick, even if it was a bitch to start.
>>217184777jackpot anon, everyone have a mobile phone even in the poorest least developed country in the world. the problem is using that gorgeous spectrogram would make for a far worse scene. watching a guy being hiper meticulous with pen and paper not only is more interesting and mysterious on camera but characterizes him instantly as a thorough conservative low maintenance resourceful guy.also, thinking of Mike or Werner Ziegler, i would say Vince himself has more respect for the analog kind of guy
is the radio Manusous was using the kind where you can talk back and forth on it?
>>217182176They're not a.i.
>>217184010Was it meant to waste the viewers time on boring vapid soap opera shit, and not even have a functional cliffhanger because the character is too retarded to do anything meaningful against the threat even with an atom bomb, and the audience is too bored to be invested in either side, as well?
>>217184947More like the only character.
>>217185814lol
>>217185583Pretty sure it was just a receiver, not that he would have anyone to broadcast to.
>>217181748MILKERSILKERS
>>217180769
I'm the same age as Zosia so I think I have a good shot with her in real life
>>217186195She only wants shota cock though
>>21718619545? If better be in top shape. A medium famed actress living in LA surely have a nice pool of fucking buddies to choose.
>>217174488streaming services did it to themselves, it's okay to have a meandering episode or cliffhanger/zinger at the end when we can just start another episode right after, when a streaming service has a show on weekly release schedule you have half the internet saying its slow/boring like with plurb, severance and silo
>>217183152He is right though.
Hey /tv/ is it okay if I don't like this TV show? I just don't. Pluribus is bad and boring.
If I was Coomba I'd use the Vegas sphere as my personal kino station. What would you watch first?
>>217187961You don't need our permission to not like something you bitch
>>217188045Yes I do. Don't tell me what I don't need. Or actually, keep telling me.
>>217169955hi pluribros i missed you allhappy new year you lovely people
>>217187990Go experience some giantess porn or something. The sphere seems like a really shitty way to watch most media, just because most media isn't built for it in the first place.
>>217176552I find it ridiculous that carol would spend a holiday plurbing around with zosiaGPT and not ask for answers to basically anything. She could ask for the answers to every hidden piece of info humanity has and about a billion questions about the plurb itself but she asks it pretty much nothing. Every curiosity about anything to do with anyone all sitting there for her to just finger a plurb and do nothing
the acting and concept were good (and i really like manousos) but it felt like the first season didn't really go anywhereand it's going to be 2 or 3 years before another season...
>>217188410you could get the plurb to find the original negative of the movie you want to watch, then have them digitallty remaster it custom made for the sphere. I'd tell them to play Goodfellas first
>>217188493yep that's about all the discussion that happens here
>>217188493>it's going to be 2 or 3 years before another seasonreject linear timerenounce entropytake back control
>>217188493>>217188548>>217188551plurb feels like a 1 or 2 parter Outer Limits episode but stretched out way too far because they had some good actors
>see you space cowboy
>>217176189This to me is the worst part of the show. You are suppose to assume in a group of the 6 or so people we saw no one else has a big problem with what is going on. Even if we assume most people are stupid this is simply unbelievable.Also the way it is handled is stupid. Carol if she is smart at all can instantly get everyone of the immune on her side. All she needs to do is ask the dinner tell the hive mind to round up 1,000 kids who will participate in a gang bang for the groups amusement with 1000 confessed pedos.When the hive mind complies and starts to set this up to happen, being assured all the parents of all those kids, and the kids as well who are doing it are 100% cool with it.you just turn to the group and say 'does seem more like a mostly human hive mind or pure brainwashing of a host by a space virus'? Make them confront the fake their family are not still in there in any real way but are basically brainwashed imitations until they are cured. That would have turned everything around.
Plurb Street... Home
>>217176189I just want to be with my aunt!
>>217188864At least it was before I fucked everything up
>>217184502based tara enjoyer
Based or cringe?
>>217188477The hivemind has access to the Vatican archives, Area 51, every secret closed-off place on Earth. You could spend a lifetime just exploring those rabbit-holes.
>>217188477she's a woman
>>217189096It even speaks every language on the planet and can instantly translate. Thousands of years of secrets and history passed down and also instant recall to an incomprehensible amount of connections to verify what is true and false. Conspiracies and layers of lies and secrets and interconnected stories that humanity would have otherwise never known. and she fingers it
>>217188477malignant narcissists are inherent incurious people. they care nothing for anything that doesn't revolve around them.
>>217188477I'll be honest, I'd want to see the plurbs recreate Jeff Island, with all the actual politicians and celebrities that were actually there. I want to know what kinda fucked up shit they were really doing
>>217188927heh underrated
>>217189048it depends but I lean toward based. if it turns out he's some actual loser doing everything he's doing unironically then he's cringe. if he's actually just in more of a nihilist "the world's over so I might as well" then I think he's based. and I lean towards that because he does seem pretty thoughtful and intelligent about stuff. he's chill with Carol despite how awful she is to be around so I feel like he's probably seen some shit and she doesn't faze him.
does the hivemind have access to information individuals have "forgotten"?
>>217189460you could just ask what really happened tho
>>217189756It's definitely the former, he got offended when Carol implied(correctly) that he was just raping these bodies. If his deal was just "world's over, might as well get as much enjoyment out of it as I can" I don't think he'd give a shit.
>>217189833I suppose it would depend on the definition of "forgotten". THey can probably reconstruct a lot of lost memories that were repressed, or just to jog the memory to bring it back. They can probably also reconstruct the events of one person by the memories of other people who were witnesses. But then there are also some memories that are just lost
>>217189954being nihilist doesn't automatically change you into the type of person that would rape someone for fun. most people would take offense to being called a rapist even if the world was ending.
She was so hot in True Blood
>>217189833Hard to access memories? Probably yes
>>217188705>Get in loser, we're going plurbing
>getting drunk on a wednesdayIs this the Carol feel?
>>217190433Carol is /Druk/
