I don't compare the subject matter they're based on. You're right, they're completely different in that aspect. I'm looking at it from a cinematic story progression POV.

The writing just wasn't very good. I understand it was supposed to be about individual soldier struggles, but for me it didn't come off that way. They didn't stick long enough with each character for me to become invested in their struggle. I found myself not caring about the characters and I could barely remember their names. No depth and forgettable.

Yes, the special effects were phenomenal when they happened. Perhaps I play too many video games and I know that pretty graphics doesn't equal a good game.

Anyways, it is my opinion and you have yours. :P I was just saying that I'm surprised there isn't more wank in the fandom. When I watched both (quite close together) I had waddled around in each fandom and found a lot of people like me who were disappointed with The Pacific. Obviously it's different now and the naysayers have all dissipated trying to forget the whole thing happened XD

i think to ignore the subject matter is to ignore a good majority of the differences between the pacific and band of brothers. i would say that the quality of writing for both the pacific and band of brothers was about the same. i'm sad that you weren't as invested in their story as many others were--i'd counter that the stories presented in the pacific were even more moving than the stories presented in band of brothers because they focused more on human vulnerabilities and the psychological effect of war on each character than band of brothers did.

to each their own though!

all of the people that i've met in the year i've been part of both fandoms are lovely mature people and not the type to needlessly stir up wank. :)
