>Style over substance.

Why is it that's the only thing plebs who don't know the first thing about filmaking say?

idk if i agree with you. but i was siting there raging the plot didn't move at all pretty much last episode. i was kinda bored for the 2nd half. i wish they would stop fucking around in these memory's and have the plot move forward. hell they could of done something different this episode cause reasons and then revisited the memory's next ep, would flow better imo.

Its been the best thing on TV this month

I haven't seen the second episode. Does it get worse?

just shows how shit the shows are these days.

Won't argue with that but the visuals are good and the tone of ep 3 was quite spoopy

Is this your first Noah Hawley show?

i don't know what you expected from shitty capeshit

>watching comic book shows
>expects some deep profound drama

I liked it. 3 episodes so far and the quality hasnt dropped

this is better than any of those other shows, like luke cage, supergirl, flash, arrow etc all that shit is way worse than this show. even though i personaly think the last 2 eps were kind of a joke and more filler than anything.

SOOOOOOO boring

it's like the dog ate the script and they hired lindelof at the last minute

>Style over substance.
>being mentally handicapped in the year 2011+6

i think there just trying to keep as much mystery to whats going on to keep people interested in the show. they cant do any big reveals this early on. but building it up for a long time is just gonna make the reveals more disappointing. But thats just my opinion.

Black Sails and Crashing would like a word with you.

it's better than any Marvel movies.

what makes Marvel movies so insufferable are:
>quips
>set ups (commercials) for next year's Marvel movies
>GI Joe "violence"
>overblown action sequences that rely far too heavily on CGI

While this has dodged a lot of those problems, it does have a lot of the worst aspects of American Horror Story creeping through, like the obligatory dance sequence.

style is a form of substance, and considering how many shows there are with neither style nor substance, do not take shows like this for granted

You mean filmmaking?

I hate it too when shows have good cinematography.

yea me too. that normaly means the writing is terrible. and thats probably why last ep felt like filler.

walking dead does the same shit

the artsy ones are filler

I love it for that. My favorite show since Hannibal ended.

Not enough epik superhero battles?

What is with Sup Forums trying to shill black sails recently? This show is absolute dreck.

walking dead has artsy episodes, let alone artsy ones?

fuck i hate walking dead. 50% of the eps are filler. thinks u can build a world like that and then turn it into drama talk show with 2 eps per season dedicated to some action.

hannibal sucked balls

no not at all. i just think the memory shit is way over played and focused on way to much. just cause i didnt like how they did the last ep doesent mean i want ppl battling with powers thats overly presumptious

The one where the whole episode is Tyreese just him sitting in a room hallucinating dead people talking to him while he dies comes to mind.

Dropped the moment they left the mental facility and people were flying around in that shit "long-shot."

Honestly, should have dropped it as soon as I saw the Marvlel logo.

Oh and of course the "half the episode is told in nonlinear black and white flashbacks" season premiere they had last season.

Its a show about a mentally unstable person with psychic powers. It could go chronologically but that's not why we watch pulp fiction either. We need to piece the puzzle along with MC.

is that why last ep gave u 0 real peices to the puzzle. u learnt nothing new, and if u think u did cause that ladys dead dude is the voice of the place, or the fact shes got a mysteroius past. shits just filler

I like it, quit being faggots

Nigga his brains and emotions are scrambled. Just like urs fag lol

but we already knew that from ep 2. plot barely was nudged last ep. at least come up with a better argument than that. and plz do keep attacking me it makes u seem more reasonable.

>it was all a dream: the tv show

Jesus there's only six episodes this season and one is already FILLER?

2 out of 3 are filler TBQHF

welcome to almost every show now days. westworld did a pretty good job though of keeping away from filler eps.

and heeeeeere come the pleeeeeebs

Protip

Its all in his head

IMDb shows 8 not 6

So is Syd real or not? She seems to be able to see all the creepy shit in his memories that the other two can't but she also spoke to other people in this episode and they acknowledged her.

Also is the "Angriest boy in the world" what David did to end up in the looney bin? Killed his mother and burned the house/town down?

>So is Syd real or not? She seems to be able to see all the creepy shit in his memories that the other two can't but she also spoke to other people in this episode and they acknowledged her.
imo she's real but the body swa thing lets her see the spoops

>Also is the "Angriest boy in the world" what David did to end up in the looney bin? Killed his mother and burned the house/town down?
yuuup that's my assumption atm

David could subconsciously be forcing other people to see syd when she's not real.

>le substance
>le deepfag
Read a book nigger. Film is for aesthetics. Every story is basically the same plot anyway. Stories are a spook.

I wish Dan Stevens was up my ass

>muh plot
>muh filler
It's a character study, not an adventure show, plebs.

Nice tricking /TV into giving good recommendations works every time

Why did the last episode feel like an episode of Hannibal, when it was just Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind mixed with Inception?

anyways this is true x-kino

People obviously aren't watching Taboo and Young Pope.

I was saying that since day 1 bitch

>good acting
>good cinematography
>incomprehensible story
= high art

No.

No.

No.

The thing which makes you think stye = substance is that style is giving substance. In the instance you are talking about they are not synonymous. For instance, imagery and visual allegory is explicitly style AND substance.

But when you say Style over Substance it places and empathises on STYLE over SUBSTANCE, not showing substance through style, literally nothing of philosophical value, for the benefit of something which looks nice.

this show beats the young pope imo, it was good but so scattered

Yes. I thought the first episode was interesting but the second seems like filler.

if you liked the mystery and confusion of ep1, then you will like ep2 and 3. if you expect ep2 to answer everything then you will hate the show

You're an idiot

It's a fucking VISUAL MEDIA. What the fuck do you expect?

Plus style = substance

I don't expect every question to be answered, I do expect the plot to be advanced, though. We don't learn anything new about him in episode 2. He's still just doing the whole "whoa, I'm confused" thing and they've just replaced one group of people interogating him with another.

labeling fallacy

Well shit, now I just don't know.

Damn.

You're correct about that. But I believe this show isnt style over substance. Its hard to chew AND to digest, but its very well thought through. I find myself lost in ideas caused by a scene, so I have to rewind to keep up with the story telling. But it's easier when you think of this as an X-men show, except different faction.

>could of
opinion discarded

cares about grammer on a internet board about kinos get over urself.

...

so whos that creepy blob dude? was legit creeped out by this

I'm glad to see busta-nut & Jean Smart in another N. Hawley show.

Episode 1 > 3 > 2 so far, best thing on right now IMO.

Superstore is decent for a laugh, too bad they can't make the thicc one wear that cop outfit again tho . . .

The Shadow King??
