(Anonymous) 2017-03-09 03:11 am (UTC)(link)Eh, both are different kinds of not-so good, but while AoS got more enjoyable with time, Netflix shows got worse. The sad part is they could be improved by: fixing the damn pacing, and hiring writers who actually know to write good dialogue.
And I mean this. Who the hell thinks is a good idea to spending the first minutes of the very first episode of a show having tertiary characters talking about basketball players while NOTHING happens?
And I wish that was the only example of how bad those shows are, but it's just one or many.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-09 03:50 am (UTC)(link)Tbh you sound like the kind of person who only seeks cheap and very basic entertainment if you can't even deal with the opening scene of Luke Cage. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but I think the problem here is you, not the shows. I think you're trying to watch something that isn't for you.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-09 04:31 am (UTC)(link)I was going to answer you fully and earnestly, but I think I'll just say two things:
-That opening scene is just one of many pointless scenes on Luke Cage.
I even get what they were aiming for with that, but they should have found a way to make it organic and relevant instead of boring their audience for several minutes in almost all episodes. And that's not even the main issue of Luke Cage or their other shows.
-Assuming other people have bad taste to dismiss their opinion doesn't make you seem like you're superior.
It just makes you seem like an idiot who disses anyone who dares to have fun with other shows instead of only watching and praising any pretentious show you consider good.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-09 05:24 am (UTC)(link)It's possible to make something artistic without making it hammy, it's possible to include a message without preaching, it's possible to make something serious without making it a snore fest. Netflix shows fail on all that.
But you know what, yes, I'm too stupid to understand a silly show that has one simple plot that they spell it out with subtlety of a hammer and repeat in case their audience forgets it.
Please keep enjoying your shitty shows while pretending they're ~high art~ :)

(Anonymous) 2017-03-09 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)I can understand millennials calling "art films" pretentious (still dumb, though), but the Netflix shows? Seriously. Are you perhaps using the word "pretentious" because you know the reasons you disliked these shows are shallow and lack confidence? These are shows about guys punching people with unique visual styles, witty dialogue between characters and a lot of monologues.. They have no aspirations of being intellectual, they aren't even challenging series (and no, most people didn't have a problem with the first minutes of the very first episode not being about a guy punching other dudes). Not liking a series doesn't automatically make it pretentious or bad.
The positive reviews for the Netflix shows severely out number the negative ones. These are shows loved by the public and critic. Does it make more sense to you the shows the vast majority said are good and entertaining are in fact, good and entertaining? Or is the small minority that says the shows are bad and boring correct? It is still possible to someone like you to accept that a show you may dislike, is not actually a bad show and actually has a quality to it that you can't understand and appreciate?
But if you want to tell yourself that you are right and the rest of the world is wrong, go ahead. The enlightened among us. Whatever makes you happy, darling. Just let me tell you this
It's okay to like things that are bad
It's okay to dislike things that are good.
AoS is not only a bad show but boring, and that's why no one is watching it. It doesn't even function as entertainment.
The Netflix shows are good AND despite what you might believe, they are fun and that's why people are having a great time watching them, that's why they are a success.
Have a good day and remember, the world doesn't revolve around you.

(Anonymous) 2017-03-10 12:39 am (UTC)(link)I can't believe you answered. And I don't even mean this is a good way, because... what are you trying to say? You're even repeating stuff I said from the start, while also being immature with your news attempts to insult me.
But hey, you could learn from your own "advice", if you bother to read what you wrote :)
Which maybe you'll do, since you do believe the world revolves around you and that's why you don't read what other people say and act as your opinions are facts without using actual arguments!Also, the only Netflix show that was REALLY acclaimed was Daredevil S1 (which was promising even if over-hyped).
Jesican Jones? Was pushed as a feminist show, but got mixed reviews.
Daredevil S2? Most people like if for the Punisher and admit the plot was a mess and the magic ninjas were ridiculous.
Luke Cage? The worse offender so far, barely got half of the attention all other shows got.
