Date: October 4th, 2025 9:48 PM Author: clear foreskin site I think the show is good fantasy but not sure why people think its real.
There are not vast networks of white men with trap houses. There is not an all powerful motorcycle gang with its own bars and special jackets running all the drugs in Philadelphia.
Particularly, if a black FBI agent showed up at a tree trimming company to ask about a missing 6 year old boy in connection with a double murder, they would not joke about her breast size and not offer to help - except one guy who is only interested in money.
I did LOL that the first line of the show mentions both scrapple and water ice, JUST SO YOU KNOW WE ARE IN AUTHENTIC PHILLY VIEWERS! You can tell the writer of the show is a rich kid who grew up in a wealthy suburb on the main line. |

Date: October 4th, 2025 9:56 PM Author: Electric crawly parlor Yeah the writer (fag) is guaranteed to see Scumbags through an incredibly distorted lens. The Scum wouldn’t have disrespected the Women cops like that, period. Now, after they were gone, it’s another story. they’d refer to their body parts only, and to the holistic woman vaguely as “pussy” rather than “female cop,” or some other descriptor. But no group of Scumbags would be like “you have no hits 😏 “ anywhere at all whatsoever. Maybe at a prison idk.
True Detective btw was authentic af when Rust referred to Alexandra Daddario as “crazy pussy.” Literally exactly what a Cool, badass cop would say to another cop in that situation. |

I don’t think the show implies a “vast network” but whites in trap houses definitely exist. And the motorcycle club is only dominant in the rural outskirts while the Dominicans “run” Philly iirc. |

i had a client in delco for about 10 years and spent a lot of time around there. it's cool seeing all the local references and shit, but the things happening on the show seem completely alien to that area.
still a great show tho. |

Date: October 19th, 2025 10:46 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, It was interesting the show turned out to be more of a cop action movie.
I guess its better to have a straightforward, not that interesting ending than a cheap twist that made no sense - which is how most HBO shows end these days. |

Date: October 19th, 2025 10:51 PM Author: OYT: Dinosaur Hunter ( ) No it isn’t. It’s lazy and cowardly imo. I know it’s hard these days because 50 million Losers on the internet are all vocal and inept critics but a true Artiste will not be cowed.

Date: October 19th, 2025 11:03 PM Author: SneakersSO It’s insane how much Losers like the Same Thing. They bought 23 COD games ffs. They love TOTK. Death Stranding 2 caught none of the hate that the first did. 600k SVU episodes. You can tell when there’s TV threads and people get dismayed whenever anyone tries anything different. Like Succession being about unlikeable people. It’s realistic af. But Henry Aaron and doodikoff were so confused. “I want it to be The Same.” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5780497&forum_id=2Elisa#49360933) |

Date: October 19th, 2025 11:10 PM Author: OYT: Dinosaur Hunter ( ) We can mock the old days of Curated Criticism, the days before Metacritic and YouTube comments, but it was far better imo. The average person is just not intelligent and can barely string sentences together, never mind offer a coherent critical profile of a piece of entertainment. It is even considered a great feature when devs get “feedback” from “the fans” before they release their product, which is like the worst idea ever afaict.

Date: October 19th, 2025 11:16 PM Author: SneakersSO What was so bad about the GoT finale btw? It closed the loop of a world that never promised justice, only consequence. What Reddit saw as betrayal was simply the fulfillment of fatalism. The Loser Redditors’ anger, in the end, was not against the writers, but against the void. The realization that the story they worshiped was not designed to validate them, but to expose them: their desire for control, their need for catharsis, their inability to accept a world without it. Thrones ended the way reality does imho. With disappointment, ambiguity, and the faint smell of ashes. And Reddit has never forgiven it. The same crowd that celebrated Ned Stark’s death as bold storytelling could not handle the death of their own expectations. The irony is almost Shakespearean: they applauded a show that punished hubris, and then proved to be the most hubristic audience imaginable. |

Date: October 19th, 2025 11:26 PM Author: OYT: Dinosaur Hunter ( ) A triumph. Yeah they want everything wrapped up with a tidy bow. They kind of did this with Breaking Bad but if you go back and watch that finale it was rather contrived and ludicrous. But at least the “fans” are pleased I guess.
I’ve noticed midwits always complain about “no likeable characters”. As if intellectually they can’t understand that the writers conceptualized it that way, that they are just reflecting back on the world where no one is Likable afaict. But it’s also about tut-tutting and moralizing (“this character is a horrible person because…”), another thing Losers insist upon for some reason. Everything is some kind of purity test to idiots, it throws them off when you show something grim and real. |
|
Date: October 19th, 2025 11:33 PM Author: SneakersSO I never even thought characters should be likable until I saw Losers posting that. Like how stupid do you need to be to want to watch something bc you Like a Character? “Wow just wow, what a great Character.” Idiots. The best characters are horrible people. Rust Cohle fucks Marty’s wife randomly iirc. Marty is a regular guy with a big assed dick. Who the fuck is “likable?” (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5780497&forum_id=2Elisa#49360972) |

Date: October 20th, 2025 12:13 AM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, This is dumb. The problem with GOT was not the the plot points but the pacing.
We watched 3 hours of the fucking onion knight learning to read, and then in the course of like 40 minutes onscreen Dany falls in love with Jon, fights the knight king, goes berserk at kings landing, and is killed by Jon.
It wasn't that people were mad Dany turned heel, it was that it wasn't earned given the prior pacing of the series. |

Date: October 20th, 2025 12:22 AM Author: SneakersSO Wasn’t every season kind of The Same for Daenerys, constantly conquering some group of desert people or Near Easterners, several of them, all sort of The Same? How were they supposed to have her do anything else without it being weird? People got used to things being The Same.

Date: October 20th, 2025 10:37 AM Author: OYT: Dinosaur Hunter ( ) Even before that it was obvious that Rust’s pessimism was a defense mechanism against the loss of his daughter, and expressed through a Catholic who read Ligotti and felt he had to respond to it. It’s a common tactic people use to counter arguments in favor of pessimism - “oh they must have had a really hard life”.

Date: October 20th, 2025 10:39 AM Author: SneakersSO Well, didn’t you? Im not trying to go all as hominem bc its intellectually dishonest but you did have like 10 lost years, Baldness, and doodikoff is getting laid this year but not you.

Date: October 20th, 2025 11:16 AM Author: OYT: Dinosaur Hunter ( ) doodikoff "dates" like 500 app shrews a year, he's playing a numbers game and I'm sure getting laid with one of them every now and then. I don't date at all. Even when I do have sex and post the pics to prove it, intellectually dishonest shitheads like you will deny it.
but that's beside the point. dismissing the experience of one in favor of another's because it aligns with your worldview is just a Bad Faith argument. There are no woes exclusive to OYT, Doodikoff or even a total joke like cowshit. Optimists would have billions suffer so that a select few could experience the "happiness" of a leisurely existence punctuated with bland sensations. I've always regarded this as a wicked and untenable position to hold. |

whole story arc is "my brother was killed and I will avenge" + "pursuing vengeance for my brother will destroy me"
and im not being dismissive. really its the only human story and the best human story.
Credit to any storyteller who can tell it again in a fun way. i will listen forever to this story |

Date: October 20th, 2025 10:36 AM Author: SneakersSO They make characters do stupid shit like taking their masks off mid-crime (which only happens on TV) and then casually kidnapping a boy who looks like a British child actor when he’s supposed to be Scum. They should’ve gotten a big Fat Kid who bullies the fuck out of Robbie’s kids.
But as the Showrunners say, the events are just Scaffolding for drama and it doesn’t matter if they make sense. |
