one of my friends showed me the first episode of Doom Patrol, it made me feel confused and uncomfortable. It was just very.. strange.
It seems too vulgar for young audiences but too hammy for anyone older than 12. I feel like something was going over my head. It made me feel queasy and disoriented.
> All the characters are gross, shallow, childish and unsympathetic, including the narrator > One scene cut makes over 20 years pass at the house after Brendan Frasier's re-awakening, and no character development has occurred in that time, and the mental wound from losing his daughter is still that gaping wide open?? really? > Nicktoon-tier edginess like the narrator, the goat fart
Someone explained to me that it was actually a show about under-socialized adult homeschoolers and in retrospect it suddenly makes a lot more sense.
the character design for elastic girl and the robot is hideous. i guess it's kind of the point for elastic girl but it's even more ugly than i can tolerate, it looks like a giant ball sack.
the brendan frasier robot looks like a constipated crash test dummy
makes them even less likeable when they are already hard enough to root for

im op, idk who this guy is . i guess less onions posters would have the confidence to write their ideas in walls of text rather than feeling insecure enough to need to break their words into little easily digestible 2-line shit nuggets in a nervous attempt to prevent their post from just being scrolled past
Jace Jenkins
Well, you see, its shit and it was destined to be shit bc the source is lame.

so you don't understand doom patrol because it's too close to the tone of comic books?
Angel Long
literally, LITERALLY, no one watches or cares about this retarded bullshit
Charles Clark
This show just beats you over the head with its gayness. Just when you think it's done with the faggotry, it introduces a super gay street full of gays. Congrats on not being gay, OP. You're still a fag, though.

I see you have trouble understanding written information as well.

A show about disabled superheroes dealing with trauma. It ain't high art, it's goofy sometimes but at least it's a bit different. Although the excessive cursing can be really annoying at times.
The main thing that bothered me about the show is how somehow everyone in it has an excuse for being 70 years old, but played by actors in their 30s and it's really stupid.
That said, I have mixed feelings about the show and most point to it not being worth a re-watch or much care because very little of interest or value happened, none of the stories were very interesting, and nothing was accomplished by the end of it.
Also it's a crime that they wasted the best character, Flex Mentallo, on a shitty story arc that didn't even have him use his powers in any way, and then he just disappeared.
Grayson Hughes
Yuck.
Lucas Nguyen
its more how the mcu/dceu aren't comic-booky enough and doom patrol is too comic-booky.
Jayden Murphy
i liked how flex became the glorified transportation to resolve the big-bad plot. as that's usually cyborg's big contribution.
Jason Scott
you ever seen child stars? >quirky stars from defunct 90's shows, together in a house, living out trauma and ramifications of their tv quirks in one final revival sitcom.

> everyone in the show has a 70 years old character > played by a 30 year old actor > scripted like a 13 year old

Only just noticed it had a head like a weird penis.

not geting old and tooking years to not deal with their past is the worst past, because is unnecessary, not even a 50s comic book would do something that idiotic.
i read a few comics, there is a whole lot of material and ideas there, but the show is a tonal mess with a bunch of politically correct crap sprinkle all over.
its weird for the sake of it, but without the darkness of grant morrison run. also, after a while, its impossible to even care, because they propose impossible things that get the most lazy resolution.
most of the hype was for brendan fraser and dalton presence on the cast, but the writing fuck it all up, it tries way too hard to be edgy and weid for the sake of it without offering interesting characters to root for.
Joshua Hughes
i always passed over these comics because they looked super gay but I like the show. god damn brendan becomes a cussing machine in the last few episodes though, that's literally all he does I think in the last episode.
Sebastian Sullivan
"tonal mess" is really accurate , havent run into any PC crap yet
literally please explain what you like about it. i cannot fathom what about this show is good
it makes me actually queasy
Ethan Butler
Doom Patrol is great, it’s the best comic book show made so far.
Ian Scott
How does not liking a show make you queasy?
Luis Sullivan
>too vulgar for young audiences but too hammy for anyone older than 12 If you're older than 12 but can't enjoy some ham every now and then it's because you're still in the edgy serious teenager phase. Doom Patrol is childish bullshit absurd-ism for adults in the same vein as South Park or Jackass, but in a capeshit setting. Everyone's an asshole doing dumb shit and you're either amused enough by it to keep going or you're not.
Elijah Lee
It was kino for about four episodes and then quickly dove into quirky for quirky sake, needing to say fuck a dozen times every other minute because "dude we're a grown-up channel", and awful pacing all around.
Chase Murphy
Them all being immortal is the entire point, it's not just a random coincidence or excuses, if they were capable of ageing then they wouldn't be there in the first place.
Mason Adams
>> One scene cut makes over 20 years pass at the house after Brendan Frasier's re-awakening, and no character development has occurred in that time, and the mental wound from losing his daughter is still that gaping wide open?? really? i agree this is what bothered me the most about the first episode. You don't just have 20 years pass and pretend it was 20 hours
Gavin Morris
Time is fucked all over the series and the character arc for Jane is equally fucked
Ayden Clark
Jane showing up 20 years later and everyone being all, "Oh that's just Jane," and Cliff meeting her for the first time despite being there for 20 years was really fucking jarring.
Elijah Jenkins
The praise for Doom Patrol in the latter half of the season felt forced. It felt like people were like "y-yeah this is weird and I like it" instead of pointing out how dumb so much of it was.
