Things I watched in 2017

Posted by Phoebii on July 9, 2017, 7:22 a.m.

DISCLAIMER: This bloody knife I have is not a decoration. I have just mercilessly butchered some of your favourite shows.

10/10:

Handmaid's Tale

This makes Game of Thrones seem like kid show.

It's powerful and meaningful.

Not something you would watch for fun, but… Yeah.

Preacher

The 2nd best thing I've watched this year.

0 flaws. Just awesome.

Castlevania

It has everything I want.

It's smart, dark, epic, it has awesome characters, visuals, music, demon invasion, etc.

Why isn't there more things like that?!

I mean seriously, why not?!

Planet Earth 2

Heh, would be a dick move to rate whole Earth below 10/10.

I mean, that's our only planet so far.

And nothing tops episode with racer snakes.

9/10:

One Punch Man

Huh, anime that's not dumb and focuses on action instead of on whiny characters and characters are not whiny!?

It was very chill, fun, cool and original.

I really hope it's done entirely by Japan, they really lack good things.

Legion

Non-stop eye candy, especially if you love the surreal stuff.

It gets less interesting once they explain what's happening, but it doesn't make it less cool.

Rick & Morty Season 3

As good as previous seasons.

Arrival

YES. World needs more well-written and interesting sci-fi.

Aliens were extremely good and their language… Wow.

Raid 1 and Raid 2

Raid 1 is literally raid - a team of people sent into a level 80 dungeon filled with trash mobs and bosses.

Just it's a movie and in cops, VS Mafia using fists setting.

Hell yeah.

Raid 2 has even better action and with the actual story, just is less "Raid".

I loved both of them, but I think Raid 1 has a better atmosphere and Raid 2 has better action.

8/10:

Silicon Valley

I relate to this show, so I like it more than I probably should.

Got to say that it went downhill after season 2.

Sunshine

It should be rated higher.

Alien and Aliens

Good stuff.

7/10:

Ugly Americans

Bizarre.

Samurai Jack Season 5

It was good to finally see the ending of Samurai Jack.

It was a bit rushed, but for understandable reasons.

American Gods

I love the surreal stuff and the whole idea of the show.

6/10:

XMEN

Tried watching that old show. Like up to episode 5.

Meh.

I don't get what people see in comics heroes.

Is nostalgia really that strong?

Red 2

It was rather funny. And kind of good, especially when compared to the other action movie I've watched.

5/10:

Steven Universe

It sucks now.

Instead of some sort of story, there are just random episodes.

Yes, I get it. Gay people are people too.

Can we get to interesting parts now?

No? Ok, bye.

4/10:

John Wick 2

Dude pretentiously and effortlessly shooting other dudes for two hours.

What a waste of time.

Why it's rated so high?!

Cowboy Bepop/Firefly

Couldn't keep me. It just wasn't interesting enough.

Making sci-fi into a western is just dumbing down awesomeness that is sci-fi.

0/10:

Attack On Titan Season 2

Haha, we have cool and creepy titans, we know how to animate decent action scenes and we have an interesting setting, but instead, we're going to focus on characters, even though we have no idea how to make interesting characters.

Now gives five stars. Thank you.

Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Was the most bizarre of the animes I tried this year.

It had potential, but instead of focusing on giant robots fighting giant monster robots, they decided to focus on some dumb neglected kid's mental issues.

And girls with some other issues. And the camera angles with even more issues.

Really?

Couldn't even start watching … Gears? What was the anime called, the one that had robots and Britania was an invading country?

Couldn't watch because of obvious anti-USA propaganda.

C'mon, have some decency. I know the USA is evil, but it's just low.

Several other anime's, which names I won't mention.

Just go to IMDB top rated animes and they all are there.

I didn't watch the whole thing, just first few episodes just to prove myself that it's garbage so I could stop wasting time.

Now I know for sure that anime is garbage, so I can stop looking for a good one.

"Honorable" mention:

Scrubs/The Office/Parks And Recreation/F Is For Family/King Of The Hill/Bob's Burgers

Only old or/and boring people could enjoy that.

Just not for me. So no rating.

Quote: Better late than never:
Uh, these are not reviews. At first, I just wanted to write down what I watched. Then I decided to give shows ratings. THEN I have decided to write down why they got such ratings from me. Then I have realized I can't sit for 10 hours writing a post…

One Punch Man "focuses" on the action in comparison to Attack On Titan/Evangelion, which has like 1 minute of action per episode.

It takes 0.5 seconds to say that "Wow that is awesome!" and 5 days to fully analyze why something makes me feel like that. I'd rather be unfair/inaccurate than waste my time explaining why I feel in one way or the other.

I don't feel bad about giving Firefly/entire anime genre (minus One Punch Man) such rating, but hey, they probably are overrated, so there's no harm in them being underrated for once.

Also, anime really pissed me off. Show stupid shit, and you'll get stupid shit, I'm not holding myself back >=|

I do hope that I got some of you to watch Castlevania.

So you read fantasy books to see winter?

THE Winter. The undead apocalypse. Or whatever it is.

Phoebii 7 years, 3 months ago

Baelish died, all is forgiven.

Okay, no.

There's much unforgivable stuff: Useless Bran (c'mon, his arch wasted many hours of my time and for what?!), undead dragon, plot holes, the whole dumb trip beyond the Wall, blue dragon fire, incest involving aunt, and the Wall getting destroyed in 2 minutes.

The Wall needed Helm's Deep kind of battle, not this weak shit. Still, I think I don't regret watching season 7, thanks to Baelish's death.

I interpret his death as removal of G. R. R. Martins removal from GoT series production. I always felt that he was Martin's avatar.
Anyway, why talk about mainstream stuff, when I can praise slightly less mainstream stuff that is actually great.

Basically, I've discovered Preacher and was done with in few days, just couldn't stop watching.

Can't wait for final episodes of the season two.

If it will get cancelled, I'll be mad.

Preacher easily earns 10/10 from me.

It has a great story.

Great characters - Hitler, the Irish vampire, Saint of Killers, etc, all interesting and enjoyable.

Great action.

Great humour. Yeah, that too!

Unique direction.

0 flaws.
