Why is this shit so overrated?

Why is this shit so overrated?

t. numale

i've never heard anyone praise BoB too highly

they was killin nazis

it was really good for the time it came out. i can't watch it anymore because the romanticism is ridiculously over the top and it's almost propaganda.

cos its a bunch of bullshit

Fucking communists

nice try us army

im a nazi you turd. fuck the (((americans)))

A show women and bugmen will never understand

If BoB was made today, it would have obligatory war crime scenes in every episode, prostitutes who fuck entire platoons, a shitload of gore and probably 70% of the characters would die as opposed to like 30%.

it's over the top because war is over the top soyboy

over the top romanticism you twat

you are the twat. go back to your yum yum milk.

I'm not sure you know what romanticism means

If you mean it glorifies war then I wouldn't really say that, since they make a point to show numerous brutal deaths and the effects those deaths have on other people. It's fine if you don't like it but at least make some sense of your argument.

stop being buttblasted, it's romanticized to all fucking hell.

Literally if its WWI

BoB and GK had an extremely memorable cast. You could probably look at any character with a speaking role and say something unique about them. Something The Pacific lacked.

Yeah, those parts where randoms burn up in the plane before jumping, where people get their limbs blown off, where people develop PTSD and shell shock, yeah that shit makes me wanna go to war

Shut up you fucking retard just admit you were wrong from the beginning

Its made for amerimongrels to make them feel heroic

it's literally the greatest show ever made.

You can really see it when compared to The Pacific. BoB has
>numerous displays of insane heroism (like anything Speirs does)
>most main characters are upstanding American badasses
>everything is about honor, friendship and sticking by your guys
>very little war crimes
>lots of feel good moments

While The Pacific is dirty, brutal and miserable throughout. Everyone just wants to get the fuck out of that shitty hellhole. Even the banter is mainly about how miserable they feel. And you have guys like Snafu throwing rocks in open skulls.

assmad yuro right on cue. i love ww2 threads

the entire show is Good Men fighting in the Good War

the only half decent episode is bastogne because shit actually happens the main group of guys

Most people don't see themselves as the random redshirts who die in the first seconds of battle, everyone wants to be Speirs or Winters or Lipton.

>>numerous displays of insane heroism (like anything Speirs does)

>guy commits a war crime
>lets turn that into a running story throughout the show and make him seem like a badass that shouldn't be fucked with

speirs is a piece of shit

Dont forget half the unit would consist of blacks, chinese, or spics.

Or that part in last episode when the Wehrmacht soldiers and their commander are shown in respectful light. Clearly mindless pro-war propaganda

I hope you retards know that it's a real person and they based shit off of what loosely happened. Read some war stories, some things are so ridiculous they have to leave them out of movies or shows because people would think they were fake. Quit being autists.

Eh they showed Americans killing that unarmed soldier in rags by the bunker. Also that one guy who was going to torture/slowly kill that soldier before Snafu walked up and shot him. Snafu kind of had a redemption arc but they had him plucking the gold teeth out of dead peoples mouths.

tfw cant have a friendly, comfy BoB without euros and americans blasting at each other

if you actually believe that story about bull getting left behind and going through all that shit, you're completely retarded. that is a bullshit story and he's the only source.

>Eugene's slow descent into darkness

Show had some weak moments but the main guys were interesting enough.

That fucking landing shot on the boats with no music was sick though.

Band of brothers had every male actor in hollywood that wasn't already in saving private ryan or the thin red line.

fuck you

If you're unable to pick up on how BoB romanticized war you're the one with autism.

it's almost 17 years old, the fuck do you want to discuss about it that hasn't already been discussed ten thousand times?

rewatched it a few weeks ago, it's not patriotic or romantic at all. It's sober and disconnected from flags, in the end they heavily imply germans were neither better nor worse

>Most people don't see themselves as the random redshirts who die in the first seconds of battle

That's a problem across all escapist media though, everyone is the protagonist of their own life story et al.

But I still felt like BoB did a good job showing how that idea doesn't hold up, as episodes progress the sorta "main" crew keeps losing members and swapping out member, to the point where the company isn't even the same guys anymore (there was a whole episode about that)

I'd argue that anything we see as an act of heroism is different in the context of war, Speirs doing superman shit are based on actual anecdotes iirc, but mostly because the line needs to move forward and that's never without casualties. Not to mention all the fuck ups the cause for each, that guy who runs in after his own grenade, the guy who shoots himself with a luger and bleeds out, people who poke their heads up etc.

I'd say the series makes a good case for showing war as a hellish environment where people die for little to no reason, and not to become heroes

the pacific > bob

that happened a lot man, it's not some crazy thing to get left behind

Clearly nobody new visits Sup Forums ever.

Europe was a cakewalk for America to what the soldiers going through in the Pacific. Going through France is a whole lot better than island hopping, jungle hellholes, and the Japs. The shows just portrayed how different it was.

holy shit you actually believe it

>in the end they heavily imply germans were neither better nor worse

Except that one scene where they discover a concentration camp (which didn't even in happen irl, Easy Company showed up the day after it was liberated by a Japanese-American regiment).

should I watch the pacific

what's wrong with it? it's a well made wwII drama. good production values and good acting.

happened to my grandfather stupid, why would i not believe it happened to another guy

I loved it until I saw the thin red line

>happened to my grandfather stupid

Going through what shit? He bayoneted one person up close while hiding yet some fuckin Scotsman took like 80 Germans prisoner with a fuckin broadsword but you can't believe a guy hid and fought off one guy? Honestly not surprised that you're this autistic.

Yes all those people dying gruesomely, going through story arches of civilians dying from bombing, starving civilian prisoners, best friends dying and being left in the field, artillery making you shit yourself and blasting your buds to bits,talking about how new soldiers died so much, the glorious story of one soldier above all odds finally gaining the courage to be a soldier and then gets shot in the neck and dies from complications. So romantic, really makes me want to jump out of a plane into flak.

Let's just say for shits and giggles that you're 100% right and they actually romanticized it for whatever reason, why does that even fuckin matter? Oh right you're just a faggot.

>was liberated by a Japanese-American regiment
kek must have been deja vu for them.

libral propaganda
I know everything about WWII by watching Hogan's Heroes

>going through story arches of civilians dying from bombing, starving civilian prisoners

they don't go into any of this in the show, what the fuck are you talking about?

>the glorious story of one soldier above all odds finally gaining the courage to be a soldier and then gets shot in the neck and dies from complications

lmao. he lived irl. thanks for confirming how much a retard you are

So apparently you didn't even watch the show and you're bitching about it? Are you actually retarded?

they don't go into anything about fucking civilians dying from bombings. the only thing you can even call anything like that is from the bastogne episode when the church gets destroyed. they don't go into anything about starving civilian prisoners either, other than the concentration camp episode, which didn't even happen irl

And? How does having him die romanticize it then? Also since we're talking about real life now apparently over 60 million people died but yeah having him die is wayyyyyyy too dramatic.

Reduce Soy consumption AT ONCE

>they don't go into anything about fucking civilians dying from bombings
>civilians die from getting bombed
>they don't go into anything about starving civilian prisoners either
>other than the concentration camp episode

Reminder that if you haven't you should really watch the bonus documentary "We Stand Alone Together" because it is hands down the best fucking episode of the serie once you've watched them all.

I don't know, the action sequences are cringey in how bad they are

NU WARS SOYBOY DETECTED

THE FORCE IS FEMALE AMIRITE

FUCK THOSE TOXIC MALES WHO FOUGHT WW2

People dying doesn't mean it's not romanticized. Necessary sacrifice for the Greater Good is one aspect of romanticizing war. I think of it this way: BoB is like Saving Private Ryan. Lots of people die, but in the end you kinda feel good about yourself. The Pacific is like Platoon: there are no real gains, everyone is fucked up and you're just glad to get outta there.

Even the last episodes show a clear difference. BoB has the soldiers chilling comfy at Eagles Nest and playing baseball. The Pacific has Sledge breaking down, unable to forget the horrors he saw.

having him die in the show is just them not doing their homework. his "glorious story about gaining the courage to be a soldier" is pure romanticism retardation

Liked it better than BoB
Both are worth watching unless ur a yuropoor

Care to explain in what fucking way they are bad ?
They are probably the most believable and historically accurate action scenes in any war movie of the past twenty years. They make sense tactically, are based on reports of action and interviews, how exactly are they bad ?

there is not one scene of civilians getting bombed... you are just talking out of your ass

What happens at the end of episode 6 again ?

The cheap sound effects ruined it for me, I thought it was going to be like saving private ryan

you consider a church filled with soldiers being taken care of by nurses as a "civilian bombing"

lmao just stop

>Necessary sacrifice for the Greater Good is one aspect of romanticizing war
What necessary sacrifice? He got pegged in the neck and they didn't even show them getting the Germans. Do you honestly actually think patrols didn't get ambushed? Are you actually stupid and don't think people had to make sacrifices anyways? How is being sacrificial even romanticizing war? Also wtf yes war has always been to accomplish something for one side so I honestly don't get what you're getting at. You really sound like a 14 year old hippie retard.

>but in the end you kinda feel good about yourself
How exactly did you feel good about yourself? I was happy because I enjoyed it. I didn't finish The Pacific because I didn't enjoy it because I don't really care about the stuff outside of combat and war roles because 9/10 war films/shows go that route so it's way overplayed. Really just sounds like you're a pussy and you don't understand the reality of war at all. Sure you can fixate on the horrors but if you want the accomplishments of it taken out you're just a nihilistic retard.

Yes, its better than BoB

Eh i liked it, and i still like it now.
Guess i'm not as jaded as the majority of you guys.

I fucking love all HBO war series, just because it's romanticized doesn't mean it's bad, why are you so mad?

>I didn't finish The Pacific because I didn't enjoy it because I don't really care about the stuff outside of combat and war roles because 9/10 war films/shows go that route so it's way overplayed.

what a pleb LOL

They bombed the whole city you dumbass. But since you think most war stories are fake you probably don't think anyone bombed any cities in real life either.

gayest post

>That scene with the MC firing from the hip after he killed the German kid that had his hands up
>German troops taking cover in front of the burm instead of behind it after they start opening up on them
It was retarded

He's the one mad that it's romanticized, not me. I'm saying it's not because it shows all the bad stuff too which I described here.

He's saying it's romanticized because they go all the way through the end of the war when they're not getting killed anymore and doesn't show them crying alone or some shit even though that drunken PTSD soldier goes on a rampage.

This is one of the few things I really can't imagine anyone genuinely disliking.

It was based on the book on interviewing a bunch of gramps. All of the thought he died from the shot.

>I'm saying it's not because it shows all the bad stuff too which I described here.

>romanticized means it only shows the good parts of war

annnnd this is why you're dumb and probably 17 years old

When will pregnant Anne Frank get her own movie?

Sorry you didn't have you crispy scene with people burning alive and being crushed under their own homes screaming and crying while violins play at full.
Seems to hurt your feelings quite bad.
We see the city getting bombed though, too bad you missed that part.
Also Band of Borthers is a show about what E company did from it's training to the end of the war.
It's not a show that has the ambition of showing every single aspect of WW2.
Just the ones this company encountered.
But autists always have a hard time figuring that out.

It's cringey, I don't care about their lives back home it just wastes time that could be showing the actual Pacific Theater and quite frankly the acting in it was just horrible, they didn't even seem like real people.

You actually think it's romanticized because at the end they aren't fighting anymore and aren't crying. I already called you a 14 year old pussy who probably angrily thinks all soldiers are war mongering baby killers so try to come up with a different insult alright kiddo?

band of brothers is romanticized
generation kill is not romanticized
generation kill is superior to band of brothers

UMMM, WHERES THE STRONG WOMEN?

all this butthurt. you're the one that started writing about fucking civilian bombings like a downie

You personally detesting showing the combat and gruesomeness without ending on horrible emotions does not make it romanticized. If you watched that series and wanted to be apart of WW2 you just might actually be retarded. Why not just admit you're a pussy and you would rather everyone in the world have your opinion of war?

>band of brothers is romanticized
Right
>generation kill is not romanticized
Right
>generation kill is superior to band of brothers
now hold on

There ought to be a Generation Kill-style miniseries on WW2 where 90% of the show is US soldiers trying to score bootleg alcohol, hookers, and porn, 9% is them getting shot at or shelled by an unseen enemy, and 1% is actually shooting back at said enemy.

The series ends with them discovering a concentration camp

The book is infinitely better

that's a whole bunch of assumptions from an assmad clown that can't accept band of brothers is romanticized and probably hasn't even watched generation kill

gross she's all naked and shit

What was romanticized about it?

>brutal battle scenes
>incompetent and/or brutal American officers are present
>realistic portrayal of PTSD
>doesn't downplay Nazi atrocities but doesn't dehumanize all Germans

>tfw most of the main guys in real life lived very long lives

>not admiring God's creations as they were meant to be

Fag

GK is more nuanced. the characters are more interesting. BoB is just Here Are The Good Guys Fighting The Nazis
