The world is gonna end in a week from some unkown source

In part yes, but also the fact that she wrote that book was also dumb, you wash your dirty laundry at home not in public

It’s not like the entire appeal of it is based on the reveal that vanya is the reason the world ends. That much is clear the moment they hint she has powers. The appeal is watching them fuck around and fail to stop it while hazel and cha cha are trying to kill them.
It was entertaining enough.

>hurrr why don’t they just use meta knowledge of narrative devices to realize their abused sister has secret powers and kill her in episode 2?

This is why you’re a shitposter on a Taiwanese basket weaving forum and not a screenwriter

The arc in the comic is crazily short. The characters have one interaction with Vanya and it’s basically just Luther telling her that she’s pointless and that she should leave, then she goes and turns into a scary violin lady and they shoot her in the head. It’s more tongue in cheek and it doesn’t really try to have as much emotional impact.

Oh I agree. But I understand at least. They could have at least kept her in the "know" about missions or something. Instead they completely shut her out. Their damn dad didn't do shit besides have money I don't see why he couldn't make her do paper work or how to use guns they didn't care about killing people afterall. This all could've been avoided.

>Get raised entire life thinking that your sister has no powers
>”WHY DIDNT THEY REALISE SHE HAD POWERS THOUGH?”
Because they were raised their entire lives being told she has no powers.

The dad is literally an alien, so that might explain why he acts so weird.

Isn't that the whole plot of Chris-chan's dimensional merge nonsense?

Are you ten years old?

so expansive forehead powers?

What? Not really.
Chris-chan’s thing is infinitely more convoluted and hard to follow. Something about how all the universes of fictional shows are clashing with ours and the CPU’s (who are like magical girls crossed with games consoles) are helping the transition happen easier.

You know predictability doesn't automatically mean bad storytelling. Voyage > Destination
The characters and their individual stories were solid minus Vanya, fuck her and fuck the wooden plank playing her and if you don't count the sequel-bait ending it was a solid 7/10 show.

Hazel is /ourguy/

Anyone thinking anytime the dad was on screen that this dood would have been perfect for the role

>plays music everytime there is a fight

we suicide squad now

Pogo was such a massive cunt it’s unbelievable. He literally knew every twist ahead of time and just decided to not tell anyone ever until it was too late.

>the chimp was an asshole
And water is wet.

The show would have been better if it didn't involve time travel because that shit was beyond retarded.

I don’t understand people’s problem with the time travel. It wasn’t convoluted. They changed the past like one time and all it meant was one day was redone differently. The rest was self-fulfilling.

>we have to stop random people from changing the past
>but the events have already happened, we just know that's not how it's supposed to go
It makes no sense. They should've made the time traveling organization something about preventing the creation of parallel universes or some shit.

I thought the implication was that someone higher up than mommyfu timelord had written out the sequence of events that would happen ahead of time and the job of the assassins was to make sure it happened that way? They showed that the people working in the offices were looking for the changes that would change the timeline to what “should” happen, but that it was something that could be stopped because they were all desperate to stop Five from saving the world. I guess it’s convoluted, but there wasn’t anything I didn’t understand.

>parallel universes
This is way way worse and would be infinitely harder to follow.

It doesn't change the fact that time can't change, at least not unless parallel universes are involved, but then the Commission becomes pointless since they already exist during the perfect timeline/universe.

What? But the series works fine just assuming that parallel universes do exist. That just makes it so that they’re making those changes to end up in ‘the correct timeline’. Just because they don’t say it doesn’t make it the case.

Alternatively, time travel doesn’t work like that in the show you fucking autist.

>That just makes it so that they’re making those changes to end up in ‘the correct timeline’.
They already are in the correct timeline otherwise they wouldn't exist.

>Alternatively, time travel doesn’t work like that in the show you fucking autist.
Then it makes absolutely no sense.

I was less interested in the mystery that I was in the personal drama and histories of the characters involved
>Story: 6/10
>Characters/Acting: 9/10

What? No they aren’t. Why would they not exist? They’re changing the future, and actively micromanaging everything else with thousands of workers. If they’re in a timeline where the world doesn’t end, but they’re still in the past, it doesn’t break anything to change it so that the world DOES end in the future.

Five directly states there is parallel dimensions in his explination to the group right after he appears. Furthermore, when the handler finds and recruits five when he is old, she also implys more dimensions. Furthermore, it is further implied in the office scene where she talks about Gutenberg, as if it was real time.

Very clearly, the commission is trying to get ALL of the dimensions towards their goal. It's not hard if you are not a brainlet.

I feel like you only half understand what you’re talking about.
Literally any change to anything with time travel puts you in a different timeline to the one you were in before. Everything every time traveller does changes the timeline. There’s clearly a ‘goal’ timeline, though. This is basically Steins Gate.

I'm sure the father told him to stay silent so that they would try and work together as a family again.

Why did they think it would be a good idea to cast Ellen Page as straight?

Yeah he did, they confirmed that. That still isn’t a good enough excuse. He told Luther to lock Vanya in a soundproof room near the end. I don’t see how keeping it a secret that Luther was in space for 3 years for no reason was supposed to help them work together as a family. He literally just did whatever the dad told him to and then acted like it was out of his hands even though Hargreeves was fucking dead and there was no reason to listen to him anymore.

Has she ever even played a lesbian in anything?

Saw the commercial for this and it looked cringy as fuck. All the acting seemed off/bad.

>We need to go save the world!
>Aww is that all?

The acting for most of the characters is fine. That part is far more embarrassing in the trailer because it loses all context. It’s not the guy going, “ah we save the world all the time, this is no big deal”, he’s saying, “you’ve been bringing up saving the world constantly and I hoped it was something that I’m actually invested in because I would rather take some pills”

I’m not gonna deny it’s embarrassing, but the trailer is probably the most embarrassing part of the show. Well, that and the weird dance scene in episode 1, but the first episode is for sure the worst.

So what happened to the other babies that were born?

Reminder that we didn’t see the other kids because Netflix wants to make spin off series about them. UMBRELLA UNIVERSE incoming.

The comic states that a decent amount of them just died. I’m sure others will be brought in though.

It sounds like it was like that in the comics too though.

Their powers kind of sucked though.

>talking and summoning to the dead
>being able to brainwash anybody
>having tentacles that are capable of killing huge groups of people at a time
>time travel and teleportation
I dunno, their powers were pretty high-tier. Only Diego and Luther had shit powers, the rest were just garbage because they were stupid.

>Luther
>shit power
He's super strong and durable, in what world is that considered shit-tier?

>Diego
Curve (only curve) knives (and only knives)
Is there anyone with a worse power out there?

You can't do much with that power.
I'd rather any of the others.
Except poor Klaus. Unless it's controllable.

>super strong and durable
>still gets beaten up by Cha-Cha despite being trained from birth to be a superhero
>has a big gross ape body
It’s undeniably one of the worst.

I think I heard somewhere that in the comic he can hold his breath forever, so I guess that’s something? Though that fits Ben a lot better. Diego also gets called ‘the Kraken’ in the comics, which is fucking weird because Ben’s power is to make giant tentacles.

>still gets beaten up by Cha-Cha despite being trained from birth to be a superhero

That's the weird part. His super strength is random as fuck. One moment he's throwing people 3 stories high, the other he can't punch a fatguy down. Being hit by Luther should be guaranteed pulverized bones. Even Diego does better in fights than he does.

Maybe the joke is that they're all incredibly incompetent.

>Episode 6
Was it incest?

Is the gay guy super sassy and has the power to make people go away with his gay little hand power?

He can talk to dead niggas

I don't remember him telling Luther to lock up Vanya. I thought that was Luthers idea. Also, Pogo didn't want to tell him that his dad sent him to space for nour reason. He hesitate to tell him where the packages were. He knew Luther would be upset if hi found out.

That was the dads fault though. The dad thought that Luther needed a purpose in life and thought sending him to space and check in everyday would give him purpose. Even the dad admitted that was pretty dumb and that he should have burned the packages.

Seriously, why not just tell them all that Vanya has powers but they would be dangerous if they weren't controlled.

>OP is born
>humans by nature are not immortal and have finite span of life
>What could possibly happen?

The plot is predictable from episode one, does this pass for compelling storytelling now?

He's one of the best characters in that show actually.

>Weird...now that you mention it I never quite understood why dad told me to wipe your memories. mb.

He’s a drug addict and spends most of the series in corners high as fuck making comments about what’s going on. They really don’t bring up the fact that he’s gay (I think he actually might be bi?) until he has a small gay romance that happens off camera and he spends the rest sad about the guy being dead. His hand tattoos are just tattoos.

To be fair they said they were like 4. I don’t remember shit from before the age of 10.

On the whole, it had it's moments, but was underwhelming. I think it's major failings for me were;

>Dude is supposedly like 70 years old, but still has the personality of a 13 year old kid.
>Time-space-travel dude is kind of crazy Mary Sue, because apparently he can do everything perfectly and doesn't really need anyone's assistance to win every fight. So what ends up happening is other team members just doing other non-plot shit while he handles everything.
>I get that it's more about family drama than the actual superhero'ing, since they're all post-hero, but the lack of use of anyone's powers kind of felt odd. Hell, some people didn't even have powers.
>I didn't understand the underlying concept. There was a scene of like, alien space ships? And the father opening a jar? Was the implication that he's an alien? Were the kids aliens? Or was it god that made them? Were they made specifically because they cause the apocalypse? Or was that an unintended side effect?
>They didn't really play the "villain" guy as evil enough, I don't think. I mean, he killed at least two people I guess, but did he plan all his shit in prison as revenge? Or did he make up his plan on the fly after being released and discovering the book of notes on the girl's powers?
>Was she always going to flip out like that, or was she always a horrible murdering psycho and the drugs were just keeping her in check? That seems to be the implication, that her dad knew she was basically going to turn evil since she seemed to have no compunction about killing nannys as a kid.
>The dad's motives seem weird. He bought the kids specifcally to because he thought they would be special, and turns out most of them are, and then wants to spend his billions raising them to be heroes and making a superhero team to save the world, but also is a dick who doesn't care about them and doesn't notice when they leave?

He didn’t admit that sending Luther to space was dumb. He admitted keeping the packages and not burning them was dumb. And Pogo didn’t say shit to stop it the entire time he was in space.

I assumed he was just a flamboyant druggy, even when he was wearing a dress I assumed he was still straight. Unlike Vanya who was definitely a dyke.

It's not Pogo's place to tell Luther not to go to space.

>There was a scene of like, alien space ships? And the father opening a jar? Was the implication that he's an alien?

The very first sentence in the comicbook says he's an alien. So yes.

I can’t be bothered to read your entire post but I’ll respond to what I have actually read.
They all have powers, so I don’t understand what you’re talking about. No 13-year-old acts like Five did. The story focused on the fact that Five was the only one who wasn’t shit, so that was more of a plot point than anything. Hargreeves was an alien, which was about as jarring as it is in the comic, because it gets explained in a single panel.
>villain wasn’t evil enough
Fuck off. I don’t even think the show is that great but you seem like an idiot.

Literally why not? Why can’t he just not be a massive pushover?

Most cringey part of the show was the guy who was just a "drug addict", like it was written by a child who had never heard of real drugs.
Most addicts aren't just addicted to generic pills, and if we were getting high to hold off the dead people he might still have been somewhat functioning. A bit of MD and weed wouldn't have ruined him, but we never see him doing anything that hard

I think the important point is, WHY is Pogo so blindly loyal to the dad? At his funeral, it seems to sound like Pogo didn't like the guy, reluctantly calls him a friend, and we're never told what their relationship is. It seems like he has that reverence one sees in characters the primary has saved from death or torture or something, a life-debt kind of thing. But what good does keeping those secrets do after he's dead?

I get the writing, it's just sort of lazy.

>or was she always a horrible murdering psycho and the drugs were just keeping her in check?
Did you somehow miss the scene where she brutalizes and possibly kills multiple nannies because she didn't want to eat her breakfast?

He was just the help. Imagine you told your son to do something you thought would be good for him and then the butler tells him not to do it. You wouldn't be mad at the butler? You think the butler should tell you how to raise your kid?

I didn't read the comic book, so ok. That seems like a weird thing to gloss over. They were just human-looking aliens coming from a random planet and putting magic sperm-fairies into the air?

>that hideous neurotic kike that plays Page's boyfriend
I've never seen an uglier actor, couldn't finish The Big Short because of him

>Did you somehow miss the scene where she brutalizes and possibly kills multiple nannies because she didn't want to eat her breakfast?
You mean the thing that I mentioned in literally the next sentence? Yes, I must have missed that. Did you stop reading just to reply?

They should have just killed her as a child.

>Was she always going to flip out like that, or was she always a horrible murdering psycho and the drugs were just keeping her in check? That seems to be the implication, that her dad knew she was basically going to turn evil since she seemed to have no compunction about killing nannys as a kid.

Yeah, the guy was an asshole but he was an asshole to her for a specific reason. He did definitely try to find ways for her to control her powers but she was pretty powerful from a young age. He could see that a small fit from her could easily result in everyone in the house dying.

Usually, long-term house employees like butlers and maids have very close contact with the children raised around them, and don't tend to act like strangers with them. You can't really grow up in the same house as someone and never actually see them as anything other than the guy who does the laundry.

>Chris Pratt is a faggot
>Incels launch campaign online to...throw a tantrum or something
Lol eat asshole.

I get that, it's not that I don't understand what he did. My point was more about her, because the show didn't seem to want to admit that she's just a horrible person. Like, her arc was SUPPOSED to be "tormented lonely person who lives a sad, suppressed life gets off drugs holder her down and becomes a real person finally", but in reality it just came off as "This guy kept this girl on drugs forever because not only was she really powerful, but she's also kind of a sociopath and will decide to murder everyone as soon as she's been wronged."

Which, bear in mind, is not a bad arc to have. It's perfectly fine for her to flip out and become the villain. The issue is that she has to be redeemed in the end, and the family has to save her and get back together. But there's the inevitable conversation that has to happen (assuming the apocalypse didnt happen) about how she actually NEEDS to be locked away and kept drugged because this seems like it's just gonna happen again.

First time the child actor was any good

easily:
5
drug guy
knife guy
vanya
rumor/ape man

Literally in the same scene get wrecked by Hazel and then just shrug off having a huge chandelier dropped on him, lol.

But other than that it was a good show.

Your post is honestly fucking tedious to read. Not the same user btw

>They were just human-looking aliens coming from a random planet and putting magic sperm-fairies into the air?
What no, the kids are just random kids
Hargreeves is the only alien. Besides the other random aliens the kids fought over the years

The kids were something else. They’re humans, and hargreeves didn’t make them superpowered.
Remember, it’s a comic. The kids were constantly fighting supervillains and robots and aliens.

>What no, the kids are just random kids
>Hargreeves is the only alien. Besides the other random aliens the kids fought over the years

Wait what that makes even less sense. Then what was the scene of him being an alien and opening a jar of fairy-magic for?

Where did the kids come from? Was it just a random coincidence that apparently god decided to make a bunch of instant-pregnancy super babies, and that an alien with a bunch of money decided he wanted them to be super heroes?

The thing is that the brothers don't actually know of her young sociopathic tendencies. I think that's what makes a potential sequel interesting: They all go back to fix Vanya, but it's not clear that she can be fixed, or, what would fixing her entail.

Where are all the other people with powers? Also how does the tentacled guy die? Way 2 leave open a bunch o shit boys.

I have been trying to think more about the scenes we were given when she was a child but the only thing I can think of is that the character wasnt written well enough to give a definite answer.

The character doesn't even feel like the same throughout the ages. Like if she was a sociopath as a child she should still have some tendencies when she is an adult.

Personally it felt like half sociopath and half being a child that doesn't know right from wrong yet.

>opening a jar of fairy-magic for?
Those were fireflies you fucking sperg, he opened the jar when his wife died. Which is an incredibly common thing that people do when they know someone the love is about to die.

Thats the first time I have ever heard of that.

Check your priverledge.

I get her point of view though. Her sibilings and father were treated as gods gift to the world when they all treated her like trash. Was probably lethargic to tell the world that her father wasn't some savior.

>The thing is that the brothers don't actually know of her young sociopathic tendencies.
Is that true? I find that hard to believe that they couldn't have any concept of that growing up. I mean, she was apparently only kept isolated early on, and later lived with them just fine as an adolescent.

You're sort of right though, it does make the dynamic interesting, but it also seems like it's just a downward spiral for the parties involved.

>The character doesn't even feel like the same throughout the ages. Like if she was a sociopath as a child she should still have some tendencies when she is an adult.

I think that's why it didn't make much sense. Like, we see her as an adult and she's shy and demure and subdued, and we learn it's because of her isolation and emotional abuse, but then when the script needs her to start edging towards anger and lashing out, they show her as a younger kid clearly being a sociopath, as if it's been there the whole time.

One thing I also don't get is how did none of the siblings know she had powers? I understand they were like 4 but this girl killed like half a dozen nannies and none of the other children noticed she could push shit around with her mind? You are telling me that she never got mad at Klaus for stealing a toy away from her and pushed him into a wall?

I think their powers were just barely coming in when she got mind wiped. Also they could’ve just asked Allison to mind wipe the rest of them.

None of that stuff was important to the season.

Also, Ben’s death is never explained in the comic apart from it maybe being Luther’s fault.

his hand tattoos are ouija board stand-ins.
