that's literally everyone in this show except Victor and the dog

Boyd: useful idiot for the town
Jim: useless idiot for the audience
Tabitha: useful idiot for the lore
Jade: schizo idiot who accidentally advances the plot
Fatima: pregnancy idiot
Ellis: background idiot
Donna: "we have to stick together" idiot
Randall: contrarian idiot
Kenny: cucked idiot
Kristi/Marielle: rehab arc idiot

Victor is the only one who understood day 1: don't ask questions, don't explain anything, hoard canned peaches, survive.

So the hospital thing is organized by the MIY so Henry kills Victor?

They have to neuter anyone that would be capable of solving the place. Guy was an engineer who could science some shit, so they had to memoryhole his skill tree. They wrote him into a useless character.
Jim would know exactly how to pluck that tree right out of the ground easy.
Ellis and Randall are muscle but we can't have goons punching their way through problems. So they just sort of exist in the background and pop up once in a while for exposition.

Jim's supposed "career" as a theme park ride designer was one of the most utter horseshit things in this entire show. Jim was the normiest normie that ever did normie basic bitch flatline of a human being. People who design roller coasters are kinda free spirits and appreciate the whimsy and fun in life and are creative types, even if they are expert engineers and might come cross as kind of wacky or nerdy. Jim acts like he has never been happy in his fucking life and gets angry at everything. There is no FUCKING way he was a roller coaster guy.

The worst was Jade who was basically Tony Stark they immediately nerf him with a curse and alcoholism. I miss his arrogance from S1 but it does come out every now and then however they did debuff his homosexuality because he definitely gave gay vibes S1 so that is good

They obviously had little to no plans ahead after season 1

That same tendency can be observed all across the website... I want to believe it's sea's fault too but they're a minority on 4chan so yep

>>221307465
Maybe Victor is connected to that place more deeply than we think and needs to be removed. When doesn't MiY kill him himself though

I have come to the sad conclusion that everything we blame jeets for it's actually mostly Europeans do it also I think they make up most of the pedos on this site along with the Russians.

Jim and Boyd are my favorite characters.

I like Julie, but I don't understand her character this season.
She found out she has an ability to time travel in a town of literal monsters, why is it hard to believe that your mom may have been reincarnated?
>>

>>221307446
Um yeah did you miss the part where she puts her blood in Henry's drink?

>>221307458
Despite being hot the character is stupid as fuck. They basically gave him/her unlimited power to manipulate without consequence. He can control what people see, hear, feel, he can raise the dead, has superhuman strength, razor sharp claws, and apparently is immortal. They are constantly inventing new abilities to give him too just to further the plot. What's to stop him from just putting the entire town into a fever dream or making everyone see each other as bloodthirsty zombies? He could literally just walk up to Victor and rip his throat out when no one is looking because apparently another one of his powers is he knows what everyone is doing at any given time (your wife shouldn't be digging that hole Jim). There is zero resistance to what he can do. He's like a kid in a playground full of fucking morons that can do nothing but bend to his will. There's zero tension. The only way he can possibly fail at this point in the show is just by choosing not to do what he is capable of doing because "reasons."
>>
>>221307750
>The worst was Jade who was basically Tony Stark
No, he wasn't. He thought he was, but in reality it's all theory and numbers, no real world application. That's why Jim and the others had to actually do all the work.
>>
>>221308636
Also, I'm lead to believe that the Julie that found Jim is the Julie that wanted to try travelling through time to save her father right before they leave.

They may have found the exit and Season 3 finale may have been her final teleport.
I doubt she'll do it in S4 finale.
>>
>>221308659
They dropped the ball on everything in S4. I think they were going for the MIY to want the others to do the work because it's more satisfying. OK, except he never really did that either. He really didn't do much of anything.
>spiked henry's drink
>grabbed junkie's arm
...and that's pretty much it. She resurrected Roger, but that was just a farce that was over in 3 seconds. I was expecting him to frame someone for Jim's murder or make it look like the Matthews were aligned with the town or something. Nope, nothing.
>>
>>221308679
>before they leave
No one is leaving, anon. The bones and cutting the tree won't accomplish anything. At most it might prevent people from getting sucked in, but nothing to get anyone out.
>>
>>221308750
I meant from Season 5. Supposedly 5 is supposed to be the final one.
>>
>>221308775
That doesn't mean anyone is getting out. Seems pretty obvious the whole thing is going to hinge on Julie's time travel. They have to unfuck something in the past to prevent the place from being created.

Of course everyone thought S4 would focus on Julie time traveling, too, and look how that turned out. With this shit, it's just as likely they'll pretend none of this ever happened.
>>
>>221308823
I gotta go
>>
>>221308719
um did you forget the part where he made sara take a drink of water and the pour it back into the pitcher? that was one of the biggest turning points of the season.
>>
>>221306912

Every episode is a filler episode the season. Bad actings. Bad writing. Fuck this shit show.
>>
>>221308863
I really thought it would be something. Ah, a mass poisoning! Maybe she'll have Sara infect the water supply with MIY blood.

Nothing. Complete waste of fucking time. Almost as bad as the scarecrow dolls.
>oh, shit, talismans don't work on them!
Never fucking seen again.
>>
>>221308863
I think its to get Sarah on her side. When the lightning comes, chances are she'll start praying and it will stop the lightning or something.
>>
>>221308933
Some of the leaks suggest the new big bad kills sophia/miy[/spoiler.
>>
>>221308978
That's kinda funny.

This character has been a threat since the radio tower.
What was the point of him if he dies?
haha
>>
>>221308662
>No, he wasn't. He thought he was, but in reality it's all theory and numbers, no real world application
>helps build a radio in S1
You are wrong. The radio fucked them but he still was a big part in making it
>>
>>221309011
The entire MIY plot is just meant to wrap up various plotlines.
>who was radio
>who is the voices sara hears
He was created in S3 to kill time.
>>
>>221309051
>The radio fucked them but he still was a big part in making it
He wasn't. It was his idea, but ultimately Jim and Tian-Chen who got it working. Jim fixed the radio, made the plan and built the tower and TC who got the idea of just using the power from the town.

On this matter, I'll agree they nerfed Jade...along with everyone else. There is no way in hell Donna or the older characters never thought of a bulb-socket converter.
>>
Henry's vision's in the hospital are my favorite scenes It's just refreshing to finally go away from Fromville a little bit Lost had the right idea with the flashbacks
>>
>>221309136
I just wish they made it more of a mystery like maybe the hospital scenes are real but from has a sub 60IQ audience so they had to spell it out
>>
>>221309136
>>221309150
It was a ripoff of Buffy. I know episodes like that are a common trope, but everything about it is a near scene for scene ripoff, including the doctor telling him he has to eliminate Victor.
>>
>>221309136
Seeing normie Victor makes me laugh because he had always looked undead and miserable.
>>
>>221306912
How the fuck do people lived in there before the talismans? People just died regularly from their hiding holes?

I don't want to imagine my girl sophia getting torn apart.
>>
>>221309386
Just another thing that doesn't add up. It certainly seems like the previous cycles just lived their lives much like the current one, even without the talismans.

It's bullshit they're getting much done in these times. They'd be sleeping much of the day since there is no way they'd be sleeping at night.

>>
>>221307465
Two things. Like MIY said, he loves playing games, and is playing several right now. To him, it's just a game to see if he can push a father to kill his own son.
Then there's the other aspect, where characters have theorized that Fromville feeds on their suffering, nightmares, and hopelessness. I think everyone there would feel some level of despair if they witnessed a father murder his own son thinking that it wasn't real and he'd get to go back to the real world.
>>
>>221307323
bro have you ever had a hot teenage daughter and a middle aged wife who used to be hot? its fucking hell, niggas of all races are trying to fuck them 24/7
its exhausting
>>
>>221307465
>say Henry does kill Victor. then what?
then the loophole is sealed and MiY can do what he wants
Victor right now is untouchable because there was either a deal or a loophole and that limits both the fromsters and the miY with victor dead all bets are off
>>
>>221307982
>His arc seems over.
Victors arc hasn't even begun
>>
if sophia doesnt blood queef someone into an useful idiot next episode I am done bros
>>
>>221309460
Dunno bout that.
He was shown at the beginning on top of the roof, he brought up the man in yellow to the town, showed Ethan how to live alone, has his dad.
Tabitha promised to get him and Ethan out.

Feel like Victor is cahoots.
>>
>>221309105
>but ultimately Jim and Tian-Chen who got it working
You are completely wrong and should watch it again. Everything was Jade's plan and he was the one that pushed for it. In S1 he had the strongest desire to get out right away before they nerfed him.
>>
>>221307323
>>221307507
After the radio plan they basically gave Jim nothing to do until he died. Almost like they were priming the audience to not care about him anymore because he never did anything remotely interesting after season 1
>>
>>221308823
>>221308679
Julies time traveling is definitely going to come into play, but I just hope that they use it to gain knowledge to then do something in the present.
They've already established that her time travel can't change things that have already happened. It would be super lazy writing to change it to "Erm actually I was doing it wrong before, now I know the proper way and can save everyone!"
>>
>>221309757
She did throw the rope down for Boyd.
>>
>>221309723
i never liked Jim or any of his whole fuckin family even from the first episode. they all just gave me the ick.
>>
>>221309386
>>221309413
Before the talismans they just hid/ran all night long. We saw some of that in the flashbacks before Boyd found the talismans.
>They'd be sleeping much of the day since there is no way they'd be sleeping at night
Yeah life back then would most likely be fucking awful, sleeping a handful of hours during the day for fear of oversleeping, and then spending every night in terror. Though to be fair as long as you're out in the open, even if they find you in your hiding spot, the monsters could be outran easily enough.
>>
>>221309791
That's a weird technicality that like most time travel stories doesn't really get explained well.
My best guess is that since her time travel is called story walking, you have to think of it in terms of a story. Specifically how the story is told
>Boyd is down in the dungeon
>Calls out for help, for a rope to be thrown
>At the time the story is being told, we don't get any clue at all who threw the rope down, just that a rope was thrown down and it's a part of the story
>So then Julie, a story walker, is then able to go to that part of the story and do what the story said happened, throwing the rope down
The shitty thing is that with time travel you can just make up whatever fucking rules you want, so usually it ends up unsatisfying

>>221309425
Most of them are way past numb to any of that crap, anon.
Lost had its random rules that Jacob made up. From has random rituals that make no sense and only exist so the plot can continue forward.
>why doesn't the miy just kill Jade and Tabitha

>You are completely wrong and should watch it again.

>>221309866
>That's a weird technicality that like most time travel stories doesn't really get explained well.
And so will undoing making the town. It's been established Julie can affect the past, anon.

I completely forgot about this show somehow for last 2 weeks. Lets go I have something to watch
