What's wrong with complaining that a show puts talking points (or however you'd like to refer to the concept) over quality?

[–] Solarius@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Again I haven't seen the show yet but usually when people say that it just means there was a black/queer character and it made them angy

[–] gullible@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Without spoilers, there’s melanin, gayness, and even character flaws. You were spot on.

[–] MomoTimeToDie@sh.itjust.works -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And also low quality writing and minimal satisfying entertainment.

[–] gullible@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Low quality? No, not in the least. It was adequate setup for a 3-4 season show. The emotional arcs would have been fantastic if they had been given any amount of time to breathe or if there had been more visible development between certain characters, but that’s not what the complaints are about, are they? What, my good chud, are they complaining about in their reviews? Do feel free to pull your mask off, you’re among friends.

Anyway, try reading the link before you try and use it to back you up.

It doesn't work, everything feels forced and the characters are just stupid

Looks like the writers are riding the series' success to write their own fanfiction now.

and I agree that there are cringe-like dialogues in places and probably too much time was given to characters who did not deserve it, while the main villain was given almost no time and no development

I don't understand how many more shows have to be given to incompetent writers until studios decide they had enough. This is not Castlevania, this is disrespect.

This is a watchable series. But this is merely a shadow of the original Castlevania series. Writing is not that good and most of the villains are one dimensional and hard to connect with. Heroes are sometimes appear as more than one dimensional characters and sometimes not. Hard to connect with the heroes for the most of the time. Story is not adult oriented other than blood, gore and sex scenes. Generally average or below average series that is unable to follow the standards of the original.

Strayed too far from the source material it might have well just called it something else. It's literally someone else fanfiction riding off the Castlevania name

Nothing related to the games and full of bad writing. Makes 90s mario bros film feels like a accurate adaptation.

The main characters just aren't that interesting or fun to watch. The writing and pacing is all over the place.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were the grand arbiter of quality, selected by the universe to be the one true source of objective judgement on the topic.

[–] gullible@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What an absolutely unhinged comment. And to reply to your reviews, there’s nothing of substance said in half of them. I read them, evidently you haven’t. Feel free to keep the mask on, I guess?

You seriously expect every random person to write an essay describing their thoughts for the reviews?

[–] gullible@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Attempting to sound older than 16 seems like a small ask. As does… having a review in your review. Speaking of which, you mind linking your review?

[–] MomoTimeToDie@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol I bet you're absolutely furious at nearly every review on the internet if a short blurb about one's opinion isn't a sufficient thing to write.

No, I'm not leaving a review because I watched one episode, and decided the show didn't interest me. Like hundreds of other shows I haven't left reviews on. My thoughts based on what I've seen are that I don't particularly like their choice of what to do with the story, the writing could be much improved, and the animation is alright, but not anything to set it apart.

[–] gullible@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The first episode is without any of the characteristics you derided in your other comments. Why did you come to a comment section to argue in favor of negative reviews about a show you haven’t actually watched? That’s a bizarre hobby.

[–] MomoTimeToDie@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

Weird, I distinctly remember the first episode having both writing and animation. Perhaps I'm mistaking it for something else?

[–] MomoTimeToDie@sh.itjust.works -3 points 1 year ago

Lmao it seem you're usually wrong
