I watched the first season and was mildly entertained while I was watching it. Now I've forgotten almost everything about it. That might say more about me than the show.

Anyways, I don't think I'm gonna bother with even reading a summary to refresh myself on season one just to start watching the new season.

A lot more historically accurate than people give it credit for and pretty close to what the time was like back then.
It's by no means perfect, but good show

6/10 should never have been aboi Marco Polo.

Nah.... not garbage at all. Honestly I liked it more than Dare Devil which a lot of people seem to like for some reason.

>A lot more historically accurate than people give it credit for and pretty close to what the time was like back then.

Didn't know people wore dark brown biker cloth in 1492. I only look at the poster it is completely off already.

Depends, I went into it expecting shit and was very entertained and love the characters, mongolian/chinese aesthetic and the chinky action.

You are clinically retarded.

Pretty sure leather has been worn for like, I dunno.... fucking forever?

??

Season Two is pretty alright considering the show just stops being about Marco Polo after the first 2-3 episodes or so and basically becomes the Mongol Empire version of the Tudors.

NEED a hundred eyes spinoff

I'd watch it, Hundred Eyes is top tier loyalty bro, he even cucked himself out of his own waifu when she came back to him in S2

Very true. I need to watch the mini orgin movie they did about him.

I watched it, I liked it, not super, but a worthy watch, pretty good cinematography at times

He got his own prequel movie my mane, it should still be on netflix now.

Leather was around before cotton nigger

Makes a lot of his season 2 storyline make sense if you watch it, only a half hour long. Pretty sure it was basically footage they couldn't fit into season 2 as a flashback.

Agreed. I want to know more about both of them though, you can just tell they've been through some shit even before the origin.

Kuthulun is mai waifu, and I just pray to Tengri that nothing bad happens to her

>1492

>Didn't know people wore dark brown biker cloth in 1492
Do you know what era the show takes place in actually?

Didn't know Marco Polo journeys happened at the same time Colombus discovered America

Hundred eyes is based as fuck, but his story went nowhere this season. "oh hey I know you intimately" "lol k bye".

This season was better than season 1 but not by much.

As far as historically accurate goes - no. They took way too many creative liberties with this show, but it was for the better I'd say. If you want historically accurate watch something else. This show is cartoony.

SO SAID CHINGGIS

>30 years long war summed up in a couple of weeks
>Orus dies before his father
Fuak

>mfw Kublai says 'BY THE BLOOD OF CHINGGIS

He is great. He actually brought some humor to this season, that was a welcome relief. Guy's got pretty good timing.

It's worth remembering there's some doubt about whether any of Marco's tales about what he did in China are actually true. It's the perfect framework for a fable, you can take all the liberties you want since the guy was likely at least half full of shit.

>SO SAYD GENGHIS!

yeah but all those kung fu memes are just too much. especially the shit sidao pulls

He did have 24 years worth of shit to tell though, that is why he has been given the benefit of the doubt by history.

No doubt there's loads of made of shit. I'm at that age where I look at all recorded history as just a some dudes opinion.... wish in school they'd of approached shit with a questioning attitude like I always wanted to.

The guy said he saw ROCS

>ROCS
?

Nigga are you implying that the historians that write and compile that stuff aren't approaching the material with more skepticism than you? PhDs put that stuff together -- I think we can trust in them at least as much as user from Sup Forums

>yeah but all those kung fu memes are just too much
agreed, would be better without it

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbird_(cryptozoology)

Watch for Kublai and not Marco Polo and you wont be disappoint.

The majority of what you're taught in school is from recent history for majority of it. They hit big milestones and go on to the next big thing.

The majority of entire era's of history were written out of tax receipts and broken pottery.

Mythologic bigass condor

Yea I remember reading about the Crusader army that traveled all the way to central Asia only too get blown out by le kung fu master.

it's not bad, kublai khan is great and the main reason why i watch (basically a robert baratheon without the crippling alcoholism and depression). set design and costumes are really good, story isn't that bad, bit forgettable though.

Better than GoT tbhwyg

Exactly this. The asian actors are actally awesome. Kublai and ESPECIALLY Hundred Eyes are fucking awesome. Hundred Eyes is one of the most bamf ppl ever in a show, hes absurd.

You'd be amazed which shit gets picked up and repeated for quite some time by historians, only to get debunked later.

A classic example is the Roman "collapsing/breaking/bending" pilum. It was accepted for a long time that the javelin was designed to break or otherwise become useless after impact. They even had various theories about how it worked; the long shaft behind the point would bend, or one of the two pegs that married the shaft to the stock was wood instead of iron so it would break on impact and basically become a hinge. Now there is a growing belief that that was all bunk and it was just a heavy javelin.

Historians are often in different camps about how stuff worked or what was true, so you basically have to read everything and come to your own conclusions.

It was satisfying as fuck watching him stroll through the battlefield casually killing people and BTFO that guy in full armour

dont look up her real life history user, you wont like what you read.
But then again, the show give a big fuck you to the actual history of the mongol empire by throwing in a crusader army in china.

this, the real marco polo probably lied about a lot of shit, for example he says he was the one who showed the mongols how to build the trebuchets, while it where actually middle eastern engineers who build them for the khan.

Kublai is awesome, every time he has screen time you arent disappointed.

Even marco was less anoying this season.

>dont look up her real life history user, you wont like what you read.
About what? that enemies of Kaidu said that she had an incestous relationship with his father?. She's the wrestling princess, she beat tons of guys who wanted to marry her and won 10000 horses doing it. She guarded his father death and died of old age

Did I miss something? it's been ages since I read shit from mongolian history. Used to be really into it, I blame Disney's Mulan which introduced me in all of that

a lot of people here seem to hate it. don't know why. it is a pretty good show.

its a lot better than you expect it to be.

>talks about historical accuracy
>provides a date which is almost 2 centuries later than the events depicted in the show

Greetings from /his/ tv fags

The opening credit sequence is cool as fuck

didnt she die together with her father in the rebelion?
now i'm not so sure anymore.

they never actually watched it

No, she died years later, same as Orus, they died way before their father, she died at the age of 46

My fav parts are when he uses his knowledge of the body like setting his own bones

HUAAAAAA

>Guarded her father death
Fuck, meant tomb, her father's tomb

>age of 46
thats a pretty long life for those times.

how is this the same guy? he just melts into kublai

Like I said, of "old" age.

damn, the guy in that picture and kublai look like they are 20 years appart in age.

That actor has some real acting range.

>tfw he's from the same city as me

Claudia Kim is qt as fuck, and I don't care she's plastic

nigga are you serious......
46 was not old age at that time, many people lived into their 60s or just about.....it's the child mortality rate which skews the 'age' statistic because if you take all infant and child deaths into account the age average drops

haven't seen it either but I'm convinced your assumptions are totally correct

>retards like this browse this board and make threads daily about their shit taste
fuck you Sup Forums, fuck you

>a lot of people here seem to hate it

SJW critics hated it cause no nigs in the show

what did she mean by this?

No, it really is good. Better then Vikings and Borgia

that whore that ahmed killed in his flashback, was that his mom?

>oh shit i fucked my mom who i tought was dead
>better strangle her

it also helps that vikings and borgia went down in quality after a while.

>Better then Vikings

wow truly an impressive feat

how did they manage to better than VIKINGS?!

>arab men need to be fucked in the ass on the daily
I see nothing wrong with this. Maybe if they got the ass fucking they deserve they wouldn't all be a bunch of terrorists blowing up women and children

daily reminder that the real marco polo was a hack that never went farther east than turkey.

doesnt matter since the show just concentrates on kublai khan and his politics.

What makes it a cool show since mongols are cool.

yes, that was his mom. It shows how insane he was, no one would kill their mom after having sex with her.

the series is perfect but no one on tv watches it they only watch got and ca[peshit

>he doesn't like Vikings
literally gay af

>daily reminder that the real marco polo was a hack that never went farther east than turkey.
Nice opinions you have there, shame you can't prove any of that

It's decent it should have been about Kublai Khan though.

vikings is fucking garbage my man it's literally not good at all

well, Vikings and Borgia are both on the same ongoing "show based on history" tier, which Marco Polo is on as well.

>wow truly an impressive feat
Well yes it is retard, considering they're competitors for that niche market

his entire plot about destroying the mongol empire from the inside out is because of revenge for his family.
then why the fuck when he finds out his mom is alive he just kills her.

He was special kind of retard.

t. faggot who shoves dragon dildos into his ass daily

>He was special kind of retard
exactly my point user

nice ad hominem argument you shitter

have fun with your "a-at least it's not game of thrones!" garbage

>you aren't allowed to like something I don't like
>as an autist from Sup Forums, I am THE authority on what shows are good and what shows are bad
go fuck your dragon dildos some more fag

vikings fanbase confirmed for autistic retards with shit taste

>s-stop making fun of me it's ok to be a pleb!
lmfaoo

>I'm not the autist, you are!
>literally "n-no you" comeback
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA what a cuck

Wait season 2 is out? how is it?

look at that faggots face

people unironically watch this reddit shit and i bet they listen to metal too

its good, not much better then the first season, but it has its moments where its great.

When will they make Shut Hell into a Netflix series.

They could have a deranged Song qt removing mongols with weird mystique bullshit and Reading Rainbow.

>I don't understand what this facial expression is trying to convey because of my debilitating autism

the fuck is this? link?

>that facial expression passes as "acting" among vikingtards

wow...

It is pure garbage, just like every GoT wannabe show

>it has swords and kings n shit
>must be a GoT knockoff

It's way better than GoT

Kublai is better than anything GoT has.
