The funny thing is that after the episode ended, I came here to give it some stars.
I'd bet you anything if Deadpool did the same meta moment, dudebros would praise it.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm really enjoying how toned down the violence is, because it really grounds the experience. Yeeting him off a second story catwalk and onto rebar is spectacle, but a simple stab wound in a quiet encounter really drives home how high the stakes are when the violence is so mundane. When it comes without spectacle or massive budgets. It reminds people of what violence actually is and forces them to connect with the intimacy of it, and I think this is something that's been a long time coming. I'm not the type to blame media for society's ills, but I do believe it could be doing more to impress upon people the consequences and nuance of violence, and The Last Of Us is a masterclass in this kind of storytelling.
Only after the episode ended did I have time to stop and have the realization that there were no cuts once you were in the restaurant.
I'm a quite sensitive watcher so you can imagine how much I cried during this episode. Like a baby. So sad yet brilliant!
Loki is the most well-developed character in the MCU. This ending was truly worthy of the character!:green_heart:
This was a really hard episode to watch. Pulled at every single emotional string in your soul. The ending, was beautifully done, but wow, crying like a baby.
The best growth of any character in the entire story, period. Amazing. As sad as it is he was destined to be alone, he always did have glorious purpose.
nobody going to see lucas play made me so sad
why is everyone hating on this finale???? i think this is the most fun watching experience since wandavision era
wish i can just skip the russian stuff (this review also applies to real life)
The story of 001 was very well told. Amazing! I can't describe how much I liked this plot. :open_mouth:
The clicker scene was masterfully translated from video game to live action, the tension was insane! Incredible episode.
I also loved the hug between Enid and Wednesday at the end. Their friendship was one of my favorite parts of the series.
The shot where Anakin walks into the smoke during the clone wars and that blink and miss Anakin-Vader-Anakin transition was a thing of beauty :sob::sob::sob:
Amy Schumer ruins the show
Great, now I want 6 seasons and a movie dedicated solely to the girls hanging out together. The final scene brought a tear to my eye.
All one shot. Very well done. Dynamic, stressful and brilliant. The planning and rehearsing had to have been off the charts stellar.
PHENOMENAL THE LAST 5 MINUTES HAD ME FUCKING DYING
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME ?!!??!?!?! I'M IN PIECES
last 15 mins I was having the most emotional full body reaction. I was sweating n crying n breathing heavy. I'M STILL CRYING NOW??
So relieved they managed to fix the butter issue.
Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and a hippopotamus walk into a mental hospital.
"in this terrifying world, all we have is the connections that we make".
It takes a lot of skill to execute a scene this long. This is almost an entire episode of a restaurant conversation between several people, and it's very very well done. Very good writing and direction.
That was a lot of dick.
