I’m new to the series but based on premises alone Make Me and Worth Dying For are 100% my picks, part of what drew me to love season 1 of the show was how dark it got while still having the big man pulp hero to counter it, I liked season 2 but I want that vibe back.
I’ve kinda been imagining book Reacher’s build as sort of an easy-to-maintain combination of natural built strength and genetics. I don’t see him as cut at all but still very visibly large and in charge, I think a good comparison would be recent years Tom Welling, specifically his Lucifer appearance and cameo in the Crisis on Infinite Earths event.
I liked season 2 but I feel like it’s pivot to schlocky action as opposed to more thriller-esque like season 1 was did weaken it a bit. Like I feel season 2 did a great job at keeping Reacher himself poignant like you said, but the story and plot he was in kinda lost that factor a little.
Honestly I think some body hair would help, idk if Ritchson’s naturally hairless or whatever (I don’t think he is) but I think having a no-nonsense military nomad with a bare chest is even less believable than him being ripped.
Personally I think Halloween could use it’s own Friday the 13th 2009. Basically a redo that essentially functions as a “best of” for the franchise without needing a convoluted continuity to follow. Me and a friend talked about a potential TV series that could do that, but the idea could work with a movie or movies too.
High-brow classical stuff is the obvious answer, but I think the idea of him sitting completely stone-faced listening to Katy Perry is the more entertaining one.
Maybe this is just because I never looked too much into the making of season 1 but always attributed how good it is story wise to Pizzolatto. Obviously Harrelson, Mcconaughey, and the rest of the crew involved as well but like, story wise I always thought of Pizzolatto as the driving force behind it.
100%. Psychopath is such an insanely shallow reading and isn’t even an actual psychological diagnosis lmfao. It’s a shame that if you try to point out how stupid and blatantly false the psychopath diagnosis is everyone automatically reads that as defending his actions.
As someone who is on the opposite end of the spectrum, sex is never a clean choreographed act unless it’s for porn and not pleasure. Also I feel the need to add in that Rust is very clearly intoxicated to all hell, which is probably making it even more animalistic-looking. Also on the intoxication, that hinders Rust’s self-control greatly, and Maggie had sex with him very much intentionally, it’s what she went there to do. She was deeply hurt by Marty cheating on her a 2nd time so she pulled the same on him. If this is not a shitpost, I hope this explains it a bit.
I think Errol himself was fine but I was kind of disappointed by the reveal itself initially. The pan out shot with the cheesy line felt a little out of character for the show when I first saw it but I’ve come around on it a little.
Honestly it would’ve been way worse if Joe was suddenly painted in some vigilante hero detective set up. Making him the killer in the twist is the only way they could’ve done that whole plot without completely missing the point of the show.
Neither. He’s not inherently a bad person because he’s only the way he is because Harry groomed him into vigilantism + his morality is hardly different than your average action hero. I wouldn’t say he’s a good person either for obvious reasons. Granted I’d say this take only applies up until season 7. Season 7 onwards he’s 100% a bad person.
my ideal ending would probably be dexter sacrificing himself for harrison or someone else he cares for, and monologuing about how maybe he’s not fully a monster after all. I actually don’t hate season 8’s ending, I actually think exile is one of the only fitting endings for the character, just hypothetically if they wanted to go more in the antihero angle I’d change 7 and 8 to never happen and give him the sacrifice ending
Dexter’s my favorite show and some other shows that scratched the same sorta itch for me were, Barry, Hannibal, Mindhunter, and the first season of True Detective

same height and weight measurements as ritchson but I’m still ending up paste on a wall in a minute flat

I haven’t watched it in its entirety yet but the scene of Leigh finding Annie’s body is stellar in a vacuum.
you can hear breathing during the shots of Laurie’s house at the end, take that as you will

Might be in the minority here but season 1 probably. Hatless is my favorite episode of the series.

I got to remove the post though sorry.
No worries
Damn my video card is the only thing holding me back:
I’m not sure about any specific specs but it runs decently enough on my laptop I got in 2018 which is barely even meant for gaming
Thank you! That gives me hope. I'll try it out.
np!

I wouldn’t say “hate” but I think whittleton creek is one of the best maps in the trilogy and I barely ever see it talked about.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a single successful mission on Isle of Sgail so that’s probably mine too lmao
