It's about time Fromfags acknowledge that Widows bay is the superior show
I keep falling asleep within the first 10 minutes of starting it. Tonight will be night 5 of me starting episode one.
>>220893724Just put it in the background, desuI had the exact same problem with Andor Episode 1 and I'm glad I stuck around.
>>220893643Is it actually good?I remember seeing something about it last year and I got hyped, im not an amerishart but I fucking love that small town american fishing village/island setting vibe, especially for a horror, prolly cos I've read lots of King when I was a kid, and that felt like its gonna be right up my alley, but then I found out its a comedy and that seems disappointing. Remember watching Midnight Mass few years ago and that hit the spot perfectly, but im not sure ill like this, trying to be funny and shit all the time
>>220893643I just refuse to get unvested in streaming series because not a single one had had an ending that made the journey worthwhile. So you all can look forward to being disappointed in 10 years when this show has a terrible ending like every other streaming show.
>>220893780>trying to be funny and shit all the timeIt's not actually comedy It's much more subtle and refined imo
>>220893759>Just put it in the background, desuYou shouldn't do this because they have these hidden clues and easter eggs that you'd miss if you were a tiktok scroller type of watcher
>>220893855I meant only put the first episode in the background until you become invested in it. I didn't mean put the whole series.
>>220893643These last couple of episodes haven't been the usual kino but overall, yes still the best new show in forever.
>>220893643Guillermo del Taco sucks though.
>>220893643>PrestidigitationDo what?
>>220893643>showwho tf cares about shows?
>>220893643>Prestidigitationlet's ditch the thesaurus, alright
>Prestidigitation
>>220893643i fucking hate this faggot every single one of his movies is SHIT and i had to put up with plebbitors praising it for years muh creature designs fuck off
>>220893643Fucking hell yous really like that show
>My apologies, there simply are, too many answers while watching Widow's Bay at the Prestidigitation across the street! Pardon my intrusion! And go easy on the Fromsters, they do try so very hard!
pretty sure he was out of breath after typing this post but hes still right widows bay comfy horrorkino.
>>220893643What? It completely fell apart in the last couple episodes. That 1700’s one was one of the worst period renditions I’ve ever seen, even understanding that they aren’t taking it too seriously
>>220895114they put him on ozempic
>>220895351Does that affect the brain?
>>220893780its reddit slop
>>220893780>Is it actually good?if you like mike flanagans horror shows on netflix, absolutely yes. it's like one of those with better writing, better acting, better laughs, higher production budget and instead of a netflix layer of cheese it has apple refinement
>>220895520You're reddit slop
Hurry up new episode.Matthew Rhys is king.Dibs on Patricia.
>>220893643>comedy-horrorno thanks
>>220893643>Guilermo Del ToroOh. That means I'll stay as far away from that shit as possible.
>>220893643Anyone using prestidigitation unironically or at least not during an actual magic act can fuck off.
>>220895934>big words scare meLmao
Remember when this dude got on Twitter and cried when an amateur critic said he thought Scorsese was overrated. Del Taco said he would "give years of his life" for Marty Scorsese. Imagine being a man in your 50s with children and tweeting that shit.
>>220895379It has to. Ozempic completely ruins your spetite, but most obese losers don't eat for the food, but for the rush of serotonin eating sugary shit gives them, so they just feel like shit. Then again, it takes around amonth going cold turkey to get rid of sugar addiction, so if they pull it off, they might suddenly feel better.
>>220893780>trying to be funny and shit all the timeComedy is like, only 10%. And even then it's not slapstick shit. It's actually good.
>>220895991>Comedy is like, only 10%the only original parts of the first 5 episodes are the funny bits, im not complaining persay but the show is mostly The Fog, Jaws, The Shining and The Ritual where everyone is autistic
Googling it gets you a very queer response
>>220895786>apple refinement
>>220894825i mean you can cut it into pieces: pre = before, stidigiation = something lacking digital like an old era, analog. i didn't look any of this up btw
>>220893643>prestidigitation
>>220896344wrong it's latin for quick fingers, usually used to describe sleight of hand stuffpresto!
>>220893643From is the worst show I have ever seen and it's really weird how this other show is trying to compete with it. I don't want to watch it because I'm assuming it's as bad as from and since I'm not invested in it I'll just skip it altogether.
>>220893643Is it really "horror" though? It's barely horror with a little "H". Is there not a genre name for movies and series that are more eerie, supernatural and mysterious than jump scare, killers, and murder? Besides, it's not the "horror" that makes it decent, and it's really just that, decent, it's the peculiarities and comical subtleties of the characters and the bizarre scenarios in which they find themselves. Honestly, I think it'd be better as a comedy-drama with the superstition, folklore, and spookiness as a common theme.
>>220896490Thriller.
>>220896490It’s got a ghost clown, dude. It’s horror.
>>220893643Will we ever get another TV series or movie that doesn't require 4chan ad campaigns?
>>220896462I don't think Widow's Bay is actively trying to compete with FROM. Critis and /tv/ are trying to force a comparison in order to gain more views and online discussion for both.Think about it.
>>220893643I assume it must have lots of symbolism about fascism being evil and loads of interracial/species pairings for Guillermo to jerk off to it
>>220896490It's definitely horror. There's a killer clown, a hag, ghouls, revenants. But it's also comedic and strange. It's like if someone let Twin Peaks era David Lynch do season 2 of Mike Flanagan's Midnight Mass.
>>220893643>narrative prestidigitationI want to bully that nerd so much.
>>220893643I actually agreeI'm watching Terror S3, From S4 and Widow's bay atm, and Widows Bay is by far the best of them
>>220896462Widow's Bay is way more comedic than anything else, different lanes
>>220896757do words upset you?
>>220896786>Terror S3What's that about? The horrors of Voter ID laws?
>>220896833When they come from reddit-incarnate tryhards, yeah.
why on earth is there some gay tribal war between from and widow's bay?
>>220896433i see, i targeted the wrong words bc to my brain that's what made sense.
>>220897100There isn't. One autist is trying to make it happen.
I don't like how they made the main guy a cuck, they even made his wife's son black
>>220897248I don't think he's a cuck because his son is black. Wish I kept an ongoing list of shows + films that have white parents but the kids are not white and they never even bother to explain why. That's how they normalize it. They pretend nothing is wrong and that films have always been this way.
>>220893643It's a show for women like all modern tv shows
>>220897248He also acts like a complete fag.
>>220897496It's simply interracial propaganda His wife cheated on him with the black dude on the americans as well
>>220893643Widows Bay is definitely some of Jordan Peele's best work, and it's changed a lot of /tv/ minds about shows with black casting.
>>220893643Yup Guillermo's right.>>220893780Overall it's great. The last few episodes have been less than stellar but still fully engaging and not even remotely a drag.If you like Midnight Mass you'll love this. It's less preachy and much less melodramatic. Plus Hamish Linklater is also in this.Three episodes left though, whether it remains great depends on whether the last three episodes can recapture the spooky hilarious chaos of episodes of 2, 3, and 4.
>>220897496No it's literally not his son he married a woman who got fucked by a black guy and is now raising his son, he is actually a class cuck.
>>220893643>PrestidigitationJust learned a new word today. Thank you, OP.
>>220897642>3 episodes leftWe are right to be nervous especially if there's no Season 2 announced.>the blackouts>the boogeyman>his son sailing awayThat's fucking it. Those are our last 3 eps. Why all the filler?
>>220897642Totally organic post.
>>220897884>season 2 in will come out years from nowi don't even get the point about worrying if there is a season 2 knowing how fucking slow TV is these days
>>220897639>Jordan Peele'What? How is he involved? I thought he hates wypipo.
>>220897991Kino deserves to marinate and bring only it's best. You are upset because woke trash like House of The Dragon takes 2 years of waiting and you realized you got "hoodwinked" by the Left, yet again.
>>220893724>I keep falling asleep within the first 10 minutes of starting itI've had a similar response to Better Call Saul. The beginning is boring AF and I gave up..
>>220895379It fucks everything, often you're losing more muscle than fat and it even leeches your bones away, not to speak of all the side effects like your digestive tract rotting away.Ozempic is proof that most celebrities are just useful idiots and not actually in on the scam or they wouldn't have touched it.
>>220895905Why's that beaner so royciss?
>>220898212I don't watch game of thrones trash or it's gay spin offs.You got tricked by actors whining about not having a year off work back when we used to do 24 episode seasons every 6 months, it has nothing to do with quality people just wanted to work less.
>>220896692>It’s got a ghost clownwhich seemed completely out of place
>>220897884There won't be a season 2 that makes sense. The plot is nearly fully fleshed out, and they can't exactly go back to spooky monster of the week. Meaning that anything we'll see would have already been introduced.I'm thinking one episode for the boogeyman and basement. Blackout and son sailing away could easily be the finale or penultimate episode if they take a page out of good shows like The Orville S3 which left a final episode as a farewell episode.There's also the possible subplot of sheriff's wife being pregnant, and also the old hospital since they mentioned it before.But yea there wasn't really any filler at all, literally only episode 5 could be considered filler, and even then it may been because it was a drop from the amazing the 1, 2, 3, 4 run was and how entertaining the other episodes were.6 and 7 were meh but the opposite of filler (lore dumps).The series could really have benefitted from being 20 episodes long but sadly TV isn't made like that anymore.>>220897955I'm aware I sound like a reddit shill but this is how I sound when I encounter a worthwhile series.
>>220893643Glad I never bothered with the show then.
>>220898401I am fine if this is a one off season and they do a entirely new setting and story if they do another one, only so many times you can spend 8 years watching a show degrade for 5 seasons
>>220896490For the last time horror is not just jump scares. Why does everyone always think this?? >it's not scary it's eerie!Let's look up the definition of eerie shall we:>Inspiring inexplicable fear, dread, or uneasiness; strange and frightening. synonym: weird>(Scots) Frightened or intimidated by superstition>strange in a frightening and mysterious way>so mysterious, strange, or unexpected as to send a chill up the spine>also: seemingly not of earthly origin>Fear-inspiring; gloomy, strange, weirdSo you yourself admit that it's trying to be scary even though you think eerie means something else.
>>220897746This. Also kinda explains why presto is a word most people associate with magic tricks.
>>220898816>"...abracadabra!"God I fucking hate you underaged faggots
>>220893643It's okay to watch both and be fans of both.
>>220899050Like I said earlier, the whole discussion is astroturf'd like Barbie vs Oppenheimer Don't fall for the shilling... /tv/ HATES the show From and all their "lost" fandom
>>220893643first time i've heard of widow's bay. looks interesting. the mayor's son is cute.
>>220893780>be funnythat's what i like about tv shows
>>220893643but i don't have apple tv i only have amazon prime
>>220899145>the mayor's son is cute.Unless you're a woman, which you aren't, never use the word "cute" to describe another man or really, anything. Also, he needs a haircut and I hope he goes to the mainland to get one.
>>220897642>Plus Hamish Linklater is also in thiswait, really?welp, im watching it then, he carried Midnight Mass HARD and I was wondering how come I never see him in anything else, he was great
Del Taco sucks now so that show is probably bad
>>220899279i think you're cute.
