The punchline is sex

The punchline is sex

The punchline is shit

The punchline doesn't exist because it ends on a cliffhanger

Amazing season.

Get help, nigga you bitter as fuck lmao

DUDE SEX AND VIOLENCE AND HECKIN CARTOONERINOS?????

This show was always hit or miss, with many more misses than hits. That's sort of the point with anthologies.

I liked this season. Spider mommy is cute. Cat-robo collaboration is kino. Dolphin messiah... who can hate it? Only if you're a human supremacist. Wait a second, you're not a human supremacist are you, OP? That would be pretty cringe.

How did the asian lady tame the T. rex?

HUMANS! ARE! SUPERIOR!

What if Black Mirror...but Burger???

Lesbian powers

I didn't. Three years to make a season and half the episodes turn out to be 5-6 minutes long? May as well just put them out on youtube.

I chuckled sensibly when the lighters accidentally burnt the puppet strings.

I FORGOT ABOUT THIIIIIS
Now I have something to watch instead of TLoU this week

I haven't watched it since Joel's death

It doesn't get better, Anon.

This week's episode is just filler (Joel and Bella in the past doing shenanigans together).

DW. Show ended after Joel's funeral to me. I might lose some Dina but I'll look for her scenes at the end of the season

Other than Zeke learns Religion this show completely tanked wonder what happened or if producers wanted to avoid male protagonists completely and went with sex and social issues hammered down rather than art.

Zeke's was peak

This show was always hit or miss, with many more misses than hits.

I haven't watched S4 yet since I wasn't even aware of it until I saw this thread.

Are there any episodes as bad as the one with the rotting dead giant? That shit was so bad, it left a real bad taste in my mouth.

There's a lot of romanticized nothingburgers in this season.

They made a naked woman riding a space T-Rex boring, Anon.

Zeka annoyed me because African-Americans didn't serve on mixed bomber crews and they wrote him like a zoomer.

The show peaked with this episode.

Yeah, it was a very weak season

We are seeing the rest. What seemed interesting already turned into a episode in previous seasons

Maybe it was explained in the short story, but yeah, felt weird more outplace than the wierd War stuff

400 boys?????

Not one, but two genuinely worse.

One of them is a literal actual music video somehow posing as an episode. No story, no real reason to exist, just an advertisement for a song that sucks ass. It's really hard to do worse than this.

But somehow, somehow! They damn near pulled it off with an episode about a dolphin being jesus. You wanna know what happens? Spoilers, the whole fucking thing here.

Live action priest in car listens to exposition on the radio.

Says exposition to fellow priest

Goes to beach where army guy exposits this is important.

CGI alien comes down and spends 3 minutes describing an event where the dolphin came back to life.

Suddenly fucking ends with alien invasion and cuts to black in less than 20 seconds.

It's unironically inferior in every possible measure than the giant one. They didn't even have some dialogue about the meaning of life or nature or some shit, it's just exposition after exposition and then cut. Near infinite possibilities about what they could talk about, and obviously they weren't hurting for budget being almost all live action except ONE character in an animated anthology, but nope. Not even the attempts at musing about life like the giant episode, boring as it was.

Watch the Zeke Got Religion episode for some cool animation and an interesting monster attack and run the fuck away from it.

Why was she speaking Mandarin?

So, Where were they?

After how awful the second episode was, hopefully on a corrupted hard drive.

Just watch the slop and stop complaining

You can always tell when it's a white millennial age shill pretending to be black.

Don't forget the episode that's just appliances making lame oneshot quips. That's it. Appliance makes lame quip, move on to next appliance making lame quip. Over and over. Until the end.

This was the best they had left? What's the next thing, two vtubers just talking about their favorite card game?

What are you talking about? It was great.
youtu.be/FQcMPUw7rWI

400 boys was also good, but yeah, it's that one, and Zeke got religion, that were the good ones this season.

The talking cat killing its owners is considered a prequel to the previous three robot episodes.

400 boys was pretty bad as far as the story goes, the world made no sense and it just kind of ended without any real point to it. Sure, unique animation from the looks of things, but unlike Zeke where the most egregious thing was the obvious DEI insert, that one just expected you not to think about it.

The appliance one was a spoof on the Aardman series Creature comforts, but also was a less interesting and worse of all, less funny than the thing it's making fun of.

Oh yeah 5 minutes of something walking around spewing idiotic hot takes from a bad writer and literally nothing else.

Love it. Can't wait to hear more zingers like "If only they had evolved to eat microplastics" before they walk away.

What is it with this show and "cats are secretly overlods/demon hunters/survived the apocalypse"?

Yeah there is an episode with animated house appliances making fun of humans for being too stupid to use them correctly. That's it, that's the whole episode.

Cats are pure twitter

Lots of fiction writers like Cats
Lovecraft had a story where some random guy is saved from a ghost because he is nice to cats.

Yeah it was funny the first time but they keep hammering it every single season. This show went the way of Marvels "What If". Fun concept with creative freedom to make anything but they just had to continue stories. This season had a prequel to the whole cat saga.

The cat robot story is written by the same author.
You’ll recall the shorts established that cats took over the world

Would it kill the stupid nigga to make a connection instead of "Dingleberry Jones"?

Spider robot lady and swarm also had the writer right?

yes they were both from the same short story writer

Yeah, they’re both part of the same shaper/mechanist universe, the humans in Swarm were Shapers.

Ty

S1 > S3 > S2 > S4
or
S1 > S2 > S3 > S4

don't @ me

whoever edited this was very good

Tbh i dont remember which season each episode was

The last episode about the cats vs Satan is at least vaguely inspired by a real English poet, Christopher Smart, who did write a poem(Jubilate Agno) about religion, and his cat gets a mention

exposition bad

When it's 90% of the fucking runtime and the pay off is a cliffhanger, yes.

ERRRM WHOOPS I FUCKED UP [Laugh track]

Kill yourself

Every season only has like two or three really good ones. The good ones in this season were the WWII bomber vs demon and the one where the cats save the poet.

t. filtered

Yes I do want to just watch stuff where everything is explained to me and nothing else happens except 20 seconds of lame cgi, thinking harrddd

You're the kind of stupid that reads the instructions on a soap dispenser.

S1 had a lot of good ones, every season it just gets worse and worse with less good ones, but yea it's usually like 2 or 3 that actually deserve your viewing

The show always felt like "what if we made this generic short story writing prompt into a video game cutscene". For example

group of soldiers find a tomb of an ancient lovecraftian evil that is awakening

soviet soldiers fight against sort of horde of monsters in the siberian snow-covered wilderness

If you read horror short stories at all these premises and their variations have been done to death. But these were still enjoyable enjoy and you had some genuinely creative stuff mixed in.

This season had nothing, no novelty, no interesting concepts. Really felt like Tim Miller had a contract with Shitflix that made him do this and him and the entire staff had 0 passion in them left. Even Secret level was way, way better than this. Even the fucking PSN ad that they paraded as an episode was better than this.

Secret Level for real shits on this S4

turn off your brain bro.
one of the weakest episodes.

only episodes worth watching are episode 2, 3, and 8. episode 3 is shit ending though

The cat vs devil only quality was the animation

its just basic netflix cell shading they use for their animes. its actually dog shit.

do the red hot chili peppers have some kind of deal with netflix? how did they get in this show?

i liked the episode with the cute dna buddy

How zeke got religion was the only episode I liked mostly because the animation and gore was well done and worked will with the frantic pacing. Reminded me a bit of the Devilman crybaby from a few years ago. The rest of season 4 fucking sucked. Like really bad stuff. Wtf were they thinking?

Netflix DEI slop

The first episode is a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert video of a 20 year old song, but it's all CGI marionettes.

CGI marionettes. Not marionettes. Fake marionettes. Fake fake people.

le cat is actually the boss of the house xD

possibly the most reddit premise ever

Zeke got religion was stupid.

I liked the one with the spider girl, the cat and robot alliance, dolphin messiah.

I think it was an okay season. Some really short ones, but I'm not so upset. I'm happy to see the trader alien from Swarm again.

cats are overdone

That pissed me off so much, if it had been done with real marionettes and CG touch ups it would've been cool even if I hate the song and the band but it's all fucking CG so it has no redeeming values

One of them is a literal actual music video somehow posing as an episode. No story, no real reason to exist, just an advertisement for a song that sucks ass. It's really hard to do worse than this.

the RHC one? I’ll give credit to the fact that the puppet animation looked really great and I didn’t mind the song, but yeah it was just a music video

Bad Traveling is the only one I can go back to and actually like more the more I watch it. It works perfectly as a short story with tons of subtle details and motivations that can be gleamed from one or two lines. One off comments about the sharks they're hunting that pay off later or subtle things he does that don't seem to add up till later, that's just good storytelling. The protagonist is unique by how he fights in contrast to his more noble nature, he's a fucking underhanded and cruel dude when it comes to winning and he owns it despite being the only wholly good, courageous person left alive on the ship after the initial attack. It's just plain good.

By comparison Jibaro is one of those where you watch it once and you'd probably better stop there. Rewatching it shows more and more of the story not making sense, little details that seem to be contradictory... and are, they have no reason to be there. Stuff like paying attention to the siren's powers go right the fuck out the window because she ends on brand new powers for no reason that directly contradict what you've seen before. I wonder if any of season 4 is gonna hold up, honestly.

I wonder if any of season 4 is gonna hold up, honestly.

There's nothing to hold up. I watched it 3 days ago and had to look up multiple episodes ITT cause it's already fleeting in my mind. Theres also 0 rewatch value. Ive rewatched a bunch of the other episodes: the werewolf one, beyond the aquila rift, swarm, bad travelling, jibaro. between the first 3 seasons the are like 20-25 episodes that are varying degrees of enjoyable. i will not rewatch a single episode from the 4th season ever.

it's another "humans are... le bad" episode

All the ones you mentioned are kino I agree

she ends on brand new powers for no reason

She never gets any new powers though

Bad Traveling is somehow better than the short story it's based on.

Original story has a lengthy opening explaining they're on a different planet than earth, so weird stuff like this is common. Doesn't add anything to the story.

They were all explicitly pirates who mentioned killing people, so you know from jump they're all shitty people unlike this where they're just fishermen in the middle of a bad situation and their worst sides come out. That the Navigator, as he's called in the short, is a good dude is actually a little contradictory.

They mention grabbing riches when they raid ships, but they have barrels of oil down there... because.

And this is a more personal thing

The crew didn't get any mentions of the diversity it had, it sure as shit didn't mention any women. The Netflix burger king kids club diversity actually added to it for once because you genuinely don't expect Netflix is gonna let black people, native women, and pretty much every ethnicity they can cram in there be shitty people while the one good guy is a white guy. They straight up used the Netflix expectations for the reveal and it worked.

Way better than Rose completely fucking up the ending and Sonnies Edge pulling out all of the meaning behind it's ending to replace it with cheap gurrrl power instead of something way better.

The spider lady one was pretty solid right until that fuck you ending

I need a cuttlefish pet dog

I woke up to this in the middle of the night and it scared the ever loving shit out of me

Yes, she does. She ends with miraculous healing powers. Actually even better than that, she gets healing powers that fixes a birth defect, it's not like he got his eardrums blown out in the fight or something. This is in direct contradiction to her previous powers too, where not only did they all have negative effects but they're all very much intended for non-healing means. And of course this adds a massive plothole to the previous action because if she could pull this out of her ass why didn't she do it when she was trying very hard to kill him just a few minutes ago? It opens up the contradiction that both she was only trying to kill him until she found out he was deaf, implying she doesn't actually want to kill them even though she was very much enjoying it, or that she just decided to wait on this one to see how it shook out for no discernible reason. None of her actions give credence to why, and obviously she doesn't give any dialogue for it being silent and all. She just decides she's gonna do healing powers in addition to her other powers now, cause the short's over and they forgot to give a means for her to do anything to the guy.

It's not even like the stuff he ripped off her was cursed or THEY healed him, that would at least make some sense. If the jewels had healing powers and they fixed him, thus leaving him vulnerable, that would've explained why she didn't do it earlier, but no. Magic healing via water. Cause.

I 100% enjoyed that ending. The universe is very cold and logical. Humanity will never fare well against ruthless races, so they exploited her depression for profit. I want to fit here that they leaked her location in order to have the alien either kill her (so they would get the gem) or she kill the alien (which means she wouldn't need the weapon and could trade it for the Nosey), but it's kind of convoluted to make it work. I still think the aliens were cunning in nature and would get the gem one way or another.

Even better than that, the entire premise of the entire short is "Her powers don't work on him because he can't hear her" So, how does she finally get him to hear her? Making him hear her, by sound. This sound worked this time to fix his hearing. Not the other sound that would control him, though, that sound didn't work because he couldn't hear her. She had to use her scream sound to fix him, because he couldn't hear her you see, then he could hear her so she could affect him. Thank god she had that sound otherwise her sound wouldn't work!

I don’t know, it didn’t make much sense, but just knowing

theres gangs

theres giant babies that fucked up shit

Is simple enough for me

Why did the pet only choose at the very end to kill her, and why did it bother even saving her against the evil dude? It’s like the entire emotional bond was fake, which feels really lame

Cause she said it was ok to eat her, pay attention Anon.

Why did the pet only choose at the very end to kill her, and why did it bother even saving her against the evil dude?

I think the pet just fucking eats everything until eventually it cannot contain itself and eats the owner. It's part of a long term strategy for the Investors where they can come back after some time and claim their payment. The pet helping her doesn't factor, it still had food, it was acting to protect its owner.

Oh, and like said, she just gave in because she was too far gone at that point. We didn't get to see the pet's ultimate play on behalf on the investor, but in the end it still ate her, per the plan.

At this stage should there just be a 'Schismatrix' show with LDR type graphics?

If Netflix keeps greenlighting this slop they can just keep riding LDR's coattails.

I loved the one about black people fighting demon babies

Yeh it was kino, plus the roller skating girls had fat asses

I see. Still not exactly what I would like but that makes sense

the animations for that one were hilarious the way the fat babies facial expressions when the guy slit their achillies with a razor blade.

I mean she did say they had like 8 days of oxygen so the... cyborg girl would have died anyway(?)
The point is she's lonely and she's a crazy cat lady and her cat ate her.

I don’t know, I’d rather die holding something I loved rather than get eaten alive by it, even if it’s own survival. I get it, I just don’t really enjoy it that much

They twisted a lot of the original story. The Investor in the OG were fucking pissed because Rose eats their pet, but then transforms through some disgusting body horror in a new version of it. They weren't as malicious as I think they were made in this adaptation.

NTA you replied, but yeah, I felt that it could have a more uplifting ending, but that's sci-fi for us. In and on itself, it's still quite good and interesting.

Dildos and anal probing: Original Story

Shocker

I like that a lot more

400 boys was from 42 years ago
