Also can we talk about the trash MTV is pulling now? Its just more SJW sensationalist crap like buzzfeed.
on the subject of MTV I watched their novel-based show pilot "The Shanarra Chronicles" this morning and i got visibly angry. because it looked really high budget, they had a lot of sweeping overhead shots and really beautiful buildings. good effects all around.
but MAN THAT ACTING WAS HORRIBLE. like, it felt like i was watching a student film. i was genuinely uncomfortable during some scenes. (minor spoilers) one character was dying and sputtering out their last words and i actually started laughing uncontrollably just from how bad their performance was. they were talking like they had tourettes or something instead of dying like they should be. i mean if you spend so much money on your sets and effects can't you even hire decent actors
also the dialogue was horrible. i don't know if the characters actually said a single thing to one another--it was all directed at the audience. every new character opened up their line like "As your loyal servant who has resided with you for more than 16 years..." or "As your caring brother..." and there was this awful speech near the start where the king spent like 5 minutes reciting the elven history. like imagine if obama decided to give a speech where he explained how we broke free from the british lol. everyone would already know that, right?
it felt like a PG-13 game of thrones. expect in game of thrones almost all the actors are fantastic.
