Altered Carbon

I'm planning to check this out. What should I expect?

Dont expect much
I liked it but Im also a sucker for cyberpunk and noir

...

Laurens did nothing wrong.

it's really good, better than bladerunner by a mile

best char in the show

alot of downtime inbetween action scenes at the end of each episode

mediocre but entertaining. good to watch while having dinner

Post his nude scene!

Dick too big.

Nice and meaty without even being fully erect. Also possibly uncut?

He's British, of course it's uncut!

A TV Series that's everything Blade Runner wishes it could be, but wasn't.

Seriously. You all know it yo be true.

...

bladerunner 2049

Bookfags hate it because it's different from halfway.
Better cyberpunk than blade runner (fewer noir shit)

Bad acting. Also a lot of stuff you appreciate in a cyberpunk setting but would rather see in a setting that wasn't terrible in every way. Boring shit but I'll take it since it's pretty much all there is.

...

nice visuals but a lot of miscasts

Big bait and switch. Starts out as a decent cyberpunk noir mystery with occasional dips in writing quality until about half way through when it decides to go full on pants on head capeshit.

Oh damn, who's the actress btw?

>What should I expect?
7 good episodes 3 bad episodes and a shit ending

Feminism

No idea, sister in her body is best girl anyway

That's a dark hallway. Oh wait is that a city? LOL

ass and tiddies.

pure cyber kino

you really think theres any room on earth after 1000 years

nah the one above is better giv me a (you) if anyone finds out her name

Holy fuck the shills are real. This show is trash for every reason possible.

Good worldbuilding
Decent story
Questionable casting
Awful acting
WB-tier action choreography

Quality nudity

>the one above is better
They're the same person you fucking idiot
Martha Higareda, you can just google it you know

eva looks like my sister.

AC is meh, second book is ok and third one is rather shit.
Author gets progressively more 'murrican leftie throughout, with all the clumsy women suffering themes and religion hate.

Loved the world, but not executed very well
something that very well may get better in further seasons

The ending was just so bad. It really ruined the show for me.

Rei was absolutely right. Takeshi is a cunt who has abandoned her again and again over centuries. Then he murders her anyway.

>bro and sis just happen to reunite mid battle
>they somehow recognize eachother despite being grown and the sister deforming into an ayy lmao because of some necklace
>they instantly accept this despite this universe being about how people change bodies all the time
>they just decide to betray their own sides at the drop of the hat despite having not seen eachother for years and bro practically being raised by the military
>since they just happened to meet on their homeworld they escape to find a secret place from their childhood
>that place just happens to be occupied by literally the only resistance faction in the galaxy despite there only being a few dozen members
>they basically just decide to join them on the spot and the resistance just accepts them despite the bro being from the military
>the resistance is literally lead by the person who invented immortality and body swapping and who bro wanna fuccc
>the moment they fuccc the base gets attacked and everybody dies

ayyyy

im not shiling i literally said 7 episodes are good and rest are shit

Stronk black woman dat no need no white man
Epic latina woman and her muslim latin mentor
Boo boo bad wipipo living in their ivory tower and being bad

When she said she was gonna show him how much she loved him (when he was strapped to chair) I was waiting for her to unbuckle his pants.

I honestly don't get why some people think there's something wrong with her face
I actually found her to be the most attractive of the lot based on face only. I thought that since I watched her on a few moments of some Marvel show where she had scars on her face or something.

...

I mean she blatantly sexually teased him with Ortega's body so I thought an incestuous attraction was quite strongly implied. They should've just gone for it and dropped Quell, at least the show could have failed in style.

I usually don't give a shit about race in films. But it felt so overt this time.

>rich and powerful are always white or Asian
>cartoonishly evil and corrupt
>shitty ground dwellers are Latinos, blacks, and Arabs
>groundies complaining about how the rich discriminate against them
>yet take every single fucking opportunity to piss them off and invoke their wrath
>Islam is shown to have a presence in society
>but the real crazy extremists are Neo-Catholics
>Mexican cop girl is every Latina stereotype in one character

such a nice tight little latina body, didnt think i'd like her but i was wrong

Why did they cast the ugliest actress they could find to play Lizzie?

Wasn't she supposed a sex worker?
Wasn't Laurens supposed to be an incredibly wealthy man of discerning tastes?
How could they cast this abomination?

Definitely. Quell is a joke character. Meanwhile Rei is a tragic villain with emotional depth.

>best char in the show
Yeah James Purefoy is charismatic as fuck it's a shame he doesn't get more work.

As an aside you know which actress I respect the most is? Eva Green because she gets naked when the script / story calls for it many actresses would make the director use strategic lighting and angles or the dreaded magic bed sheet but she is dedicated to her craft.

James Purefoy in showing his dick is the male equivalent, unlike Ms Green I have no desire to see him naked but I respect that he is dedicated enough to do so when it is called for.

nah he probably lets himself get half chub to make it look bigger (i know I would in the same situation)

>rich and powerful white or asian
So, just as you'd expect?

...

Quell wanted to destroy human immortality for everyone, Rei stopped her before she could doom humanity to death ... Rei did nothing wrong (well up till that point in time she didn't)

Admittedly, I would be fine with this if the show didn't make out that being rich means you're a sociopath 100% of the time.

As previously mentioned though, Laurens did nothing wrong and he's one of the richest humans alive.

It should be said, Rei didn't even want to be an Envoy. She went through all the training and shit because her brother just decided that was what they should do.
Imagine how crushed you would be, finding out that you wasted all this time, because your brother got jungle fever for Quell.

Best little sister.
A shame they made her go full retard in the last two episodes.

>I know how to win my brother's love. I'll kill all his friends!

Who writes this shit?

>go full retard
You must be talking about Kovacs.

The main character literally has a fight with a katana while wearing a trenchcoat

I have family an they all know doing anything intimate with a nigger is instant "you're dead to me" status

They were going in hard for the manchild audience second half.

Puffy Allergy Face

A woman. I wonder if she has a brother.
That would explain a lot.

pretty nice cyber"punk"

That scene where Latina cop girl is fighting Rei's clones in the vault, a TV show hasn't given me a boner that powerful since this scene in GOT season 1

you do realize people like this exist?

Oh, that was a Cathedral?
I just thought those swoopy things were a design aesthetic similar to the building above the clouds.

Man, shows they really used this set a lot.

He knew those people for less than a week and spent barely any time with them. The Mexican chick doesn't love him either, just his body. A point they conveniently ignore.

This would have worked a lot better
Rei has been consistently saved and then abandoned by him the way the show set it up (even if he didn't choose to, she still got put in situations where it looked like he did) so you can actually see a realistic way a brother complex would make a lot of sense if they'd had the confidence to do it and just ignore the bad romance plot with Quell.
>Takeshi saves Rei by killing their father when he was probably going to beat the shit out of her or beat her to death
>makes a deal with CTAC to have her given to a good home
>Rei sees him making a deal where he joins CTAC and abandons her to the yakuza to get out of murder charges
>Takeshi saves her again by turning on CTAC and they run away into the jungle together
>A wild Jungle Queen appeared!
>get basically forced into joining them
>despite their clearly stupid plans and Quell's disregard for Rei or Takeshi's safety, Takeshi starts to shut Rei out and make doe eyes at Jungle Queen
>Rei points out Quell's plan is retarded and going to get them all killed but Takeshi shuts her down again and states allegiance to Jungle Queen over his own sister who clearly cares about him
>ignores Rei's complaints for sex on the beach which is probably average anyway
>probably doesn't even get a 10 second blowjob when you know Rei would probably have swallowed the whole thing in one go
>tries to save herself and her brother by cutting a deal
>still doesn't even kill her brother's gf though, despite having every reason to kill the retard and having almost no way of getting caught
>searches for her brother for hundreds of years
>tfw he leaves her again for some Latina who probably did suck his dick but is somehow even more retarded than the last gf
>steals his gf's body and gets Takeshi to wash her naked in the bathroom while outright teasing him and he still doesn't make a move
How did one woman have so much patience?

Dude I'm pretty much RWDS but you're reading way too much into it, and I think you're way too sensitive about these things.

He barely spent any time with his sister either, and what time he did spend with her was hundreds of years prior, before she went full retard.

Trannies? They're pretty mental and irrational.

A fucking stupidly written show that's also riddled with SJW nonsense on top of that.

>latina

Hey! Don't be a racist. It's pronounced "laddiiiiinn-a"

Again, I usually don't give a shit. It just felt really in your face this time around.

He spent far more time with his sister than he did with anyone else in the show. There shouldn't be a choice over Latina girl or Rei, when he barely knows one of them.

Great world-building.
Decent performances. Kinnaman is good for the role and Purefoy is great.
Story starts out okay, but goes to shit.

The biggest problem is the writing, dialogue and that none of the main characters other than maybe Laurens makes any sense of follow any sort of internal logic. Their motivations and actions are all over the place.

Pretty good amounts of T&A tho.

>main character has a combination of a clichee japanese name with an european surname
>main character is unique because he is the only defector to ever join the noble rebels
>noble rebels
>new vocabulary and abbreviations but only for plot relevant things
>twist everywhere to give new meaning to any previous scenes
>author self inserts as E.A. Poe
>Katana fight
>ancient alien civilization that is all mysterious with glowing holy trees and shit
>rich people are bad and decadent

I haven't read the book and don't know whether this came from the original author or the showwriters. It reads like a teenagers first scifi novel though.
On top of that there is so fucking much, that is - in the series - not making any sense or is not explained if it was in the book.
Why no widespread use of synth bodies? Why no widespread living in VR? Why is sentient AI not an issue when they can supposedly hack stuff so easily? Why no hacking of people when it is possible to infect them with digital viruses? Why no cyber enhancements for rich people's servicemen? Why the stupid law when destroying someone's stack is so easy? Why would anyone just kill a sleeve anyway? Backing up your consciousness is basically just cloning yourself if you die, you still die, so what's the point for you?

Show was shit and I blame writers

No clue, I just screenshot when it's pretty

Viggo for having a bare naked fight scene with no prosthetic

So this is the power of silicone?

>japanese name with an european surname
That's because his homeworld was settled by Japanese and Hungarian people originally. But yes, it's silly that he happens to have a first name from one and surname from the other.

>Rei is a manipulative meth who wants to get his brother back but needed an even bigger meth to pull some strings for it
Okay, this makes the beginning of the story quite a bit retarded but I guess we'll roll with it.
>Rei is incredibly possessive despite his brother not giving a single fuck about her ever since they were like 7 years old. He gave her no mind through his CTAC days or through his Envoy days, she was always just secondary to him.
Well this makes her caring so much about him a little weird but this makes me sympathetic to Rei, so you have a semi-reasonable antagonist and seems like everything she did is justifi-
>Rei is some megalomaniac sociopath who murders families at the drop of a hat, runs torture chambers and whorehouses where killing is part of the fun
Oh of course we need to go full cartoon villain here because this is a story for children.

>it's stilly

Why? The husband was a slav and he was the kind of man who regularly beat the shit out of his own wife. Do you think that kind of man is into progressive bullshit of letting his children have his wife's surname? Or him taking it himself?

Your mind is polluted by safe spaces.

It wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it. I don't know why everyone is complaining about the acting.

Jesus christ, the actress playing Ortega in show is CRAZY hot

Not bad for a tiny 35yo mexican
>Im afraid she's only a few years from turning into a goblin.

Some of the performances are excellent (Laurens, Kovachs in both bodies, everyone playing Dimi the Twin, Rei) - but some are utterly fucking awful (Quell, Ortega, the black dude). It's not even the actors fault, the script is utterly baffling. It goes from gritty noir to hopeful in like ten seconds flat BETWEEN FUCKING SCENES. Ortega and Quell don't fit in with the aesthetic and style of the show, not because of race or anything, but because you don't do cyberpunk with this kind of hopeful future bullshit. I don't understand how writers still don't get that Phillip K. Dick wasn't writing stories that were hopeful, but stories that ended to show how empty humanity is after they've ascended beyond normal means.

The actress playing Rei was worse than Ortega.

Didn't the actors have an affair in real life?

Objectively pleb opinion

he did alot of things wrong but he's definately not going to get any sort of punishment for his crime as he was drugged and can afford the best lawyers money can buy.

>250 years of careful planing and work and your brother throws it all away for some random latina cop with big boobs

Being Rei was suffering.

but 7 is a catastrophe

great tits, shame about the acting

source?

kinda looks like

>tfw cant even find latina attractive because shes womanlet even though she has nice titties and ass
Nothing makes my dick softer than shit genetics

And this was all written into the show and doesn't exist in the book.
The show is GARBAGE and ruined it.
