Is it safe to say it’s kino?
Is it safe to say it’s kino?
Yes
NO. It fucking sucks actually. Go shill somewhere else.
(Catch 22 was kino though and Sneaky Pete is comfy)
It was a 1:1 adaptation that works which is satisfying since it paves the way for a Discworld series that hopefully won't get plagued by American politics.
Also one of the only series with French-speaking scenes I've ever watched that gets actual French actors and not some quebecois hill-people/American actors speaking a shit French
I get to know the Disworld through a reviewer who review the Hogfather adaptation. Really great stuff.
TOO SHORT
Conservative keks hate it so I'm surprised it's not being torn to shreds around here tbqh
The perfect Discworld TV adaptation already exists.
not wrong
Trailer makes it look kinda shitty desu. But hey, it might be Stardust, and not every other Gaiman adaption.
holy shit its Zus
>It was a 1:1 adaptation that works
as a bookfag I approve this
the picture is too dark, it's unwatchable
It's worth it just to watch Tennant and Sheen hanging out together. The rest could literally be pictures of shit. Luckily the story is serviceable and as a bonus, Hamm kills it as well.
Watch it for the comfy.
the colour of magic is my favorite of these adaptations
Do any of these single book adaptations connect or are they all one offs that feel broken off from the world he created?
nah, it's lefty propaganda as always.
same playing field , loose connection
I fucking hate seeing these ugly fucks when I open a twitch stream.

>God's a woman and Adam & Eve are black
Oh my
John Hamm ruins it for me. Can't stand that guy since the white b gone debacle
Adam and Eve were the original jews, it's why there are a whole bunch of different humans outside of paradise
just a way to cope why there were so many creation myths back then and Adam and Eve are the hebrew creation myth, but because they were near identical to everyone on the outside they decided to cut off their dicks so their homo god could recognize them when they died
A discworld series has been in the works for a while, theres a procedural cop drama based on the watch coming at some point.
>a Discworld series
But we already have a 1/10 animation, 10/10 music cartoon. A similar tier animation with witchs as well as a obscure cartoon short. And that shitty colour of magic/light fantastic mini series. And a cute Susan christmas movie.
Yea Forums broke me. I enjoyed the show, but found myself thinking of Black Israelites (Das riiiiite) and laughing way too much there.
I liked it.
People here mostly won't. Plenty of shit in there for them to interpret as the "SJW cuck" whatever they like to imagine as being in everything that has a female character or a black dude that do anything.
Fun and comfy af
The only disappointment so far is the WAR introduction scene. Was expecting something much more noir and stylish.
Looks like SJW cuck shit desu. Hard pass. Anyone who enjoys this is a cuckold faggot too.
confirmed for 14 years old. "everything sucks" syndrome
It was good, but I really didn’t like how they made Adora less icy, made Gilt less smooth and overdid the guilt trip for Moist.
10/10 casting though.
None of the adaptations connect much. The discworld books themselves do have heavily connect sub-series (witches, watch, rincewind, tiffany, etc.) Characters can appear outside their own series i.e Death has a minor role in a lot of the other books, if a character goes to Ankh-Morpork they'll meet Nobby and Sarge. A few books are self-contained like Pyramids and Small gods.
I'd personally recommend Soul Music, the animation is shit but the music is great.
Just play the PS1 mystery point and click games
Called it.
For your next amazing trick are you going to predict someone says nigger?
Michael Sheen's character looks like someone hbomberguy would fellate.
It's sadly likely to never escape development hell.

It's by fart he best Prattchett adaptation we've seen yet. It's not perfect but I'm glad it exists.
I liked it.
It is.
The horsemen do fuck all really
Couldn't bear watching it. The acting was meh, and when they started using goofy music cues, I knew it wasn't going to be very good. The SJW stuff was a bit distracting too - there are ways to put blacks on screen much more fitting than having a black nun.
It's been in the works for half a decade, and they got Rhianna Pratchett as a co-writer, and Rhianna is anti-Terry in terms of writing - unoriginal, uninspired, unfunny, overly serious and dramatic.
It's pretty much the same character, but ironically
>having a black nun
There are a lot of black nuns.
But are there a lot of black satanists? Outside of Samy Davis Jr.?
>Hamm kills it as well.
I'm starting to suspect him of being a shit actor, he always makes the same faces
I personally know every satanist in the world and I can assure you a bunch of them are black
Hastur was surprisingly good. Guy who plays him is a better actor than Tennant.
Holy fuck literally
>he always makes the same faces
He mastered the White People Smile
>White People Smile
what's that even supposed to be?
>says Amazon shows Catch 22, Sneaky Pete, and Goliath are kino
>says Amazon show Good Omens is dogshit incarnate
>deluded fag says I must be 14 cause I hate "everything"
Sorry Gay Omens fucking SUCKED and you had to devalue my opinion by saying I simply hate everything when I obviously don't. Just know that Gay Omens is a shitty show. Deal with it shill.

>It was a 1:1 adaptation
It really wasn't. It was as close to a 1:1 adaptation as any book-turned-show adaptation that I've seen, but there were changes. Some of them were significant, most of them were an improvement for the purposes of making a show.
Points deduced for
>4 half-hearted "fucks" that where "bugger" in the novel or flat out non-existent
>Pepper is now an SJW talking about the patriarchy who "will not endorse casual everyday sexism" after War (a woman) has called her "little girl" and she in turn calls her a bitch
>Amazon Prime FX
Apart from that, I'm very happy with it. Especially with the potted plant scene making it in.
Same as in the book. They ride because they have to due to Revelations, but only a hundred miles. That's because their powers are ineffective compared to the nuclear weapons humanity has since developed, and they go with that instead. The only one always working is Death.
The whole concept worked a bit better at the end of the cold war when the book was written and released, granted.
Well yeah, he read it in the delusional witch magazine.
Bit disappointed about the lack of the Queen tapedeck and the line:
>"Listen," croaked Skuzz. "Got something important to tell you. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ... they're right bastards, all four of them."
Because it wasn't there.
>the lack of the Queen tapedeck
Literally the best running gag in the book. Suppose Queen wouldn't license or some shit.
Does it at least have the Death reveal when he's playing the quiz machine?
>Does it at least have the Death reveal when he's playing the quiz machine?
Yes and no, you have to stop the video to read anything on the screen and there is no biker gang.
There's like 3 Queen songs in every episode.
The work she done on Overlord was good, she's only co-writing it so she's probably mostly just going to be helping keep it close to the books anyway.
Because the book was written in the Cold War and therefore the "Who with?" "Who do you think?" would've been answered with "The USA".
>this
Queen was all over the place.
What are some good prime video tv shows?
ive seen man in the high castle, patriot and sneaky pete(not s3). I heard American Gods was good but they fucked up the second season and then gave up with the Expanse at like season 3
>>the lack of the Queen tapedeck
>Literally the best running gag in the book.
It really was, but it's not one that makes sense given that the show takes place in 20XX UK. You need the 80s and the Satanic Panic for the Queen joke to really land.
Still, as has been said, they use the shit out of Queen whenever Crowley is in the Bentley and that worked for me.
Bosch is great if you like detective shows. Goliath is very interesting and weird. And American Gods isn't a Prime show.
RIP.
>American Gods was good
It was bearable. I watched it since it was an adaption of a book I enjoy, but honestly, I was hanging on by a thread at the end of S1. I didn't even give S2 a chance since I couldn't bear to go through that entire ordeal again.
So have you called the number?
>Also one of the only series with French-speaking scenes I've ever watched that gets actual French actors
Stop watching American shit
I don't know the area code for Tadfield.
pratchett was a terrible writer, I'm glad he's dead. hopefully gaiman will be hit by a train soon too.
I mean the witchfinder army number
Is this a stealth discworld thread?
I hope the watch series pulls itself out of the ether and gets the justice it deserves
Fag
i guess it's starz but they market it heavily as a prime show in the uk
Look at this fag. You need a copy of where is my cow.
The best part of the watch series is Thud! Debate me.
>no biker gang
DROPPED
I've stopped on the Jingo to be honest, I think it's time for me fix this
I hope you get raped to death
The watch series became my favourite rather quickly. Night Watch was amazing, as was Thud! and Snuff. Thud and Snuff are best read back to back.
The Fifth Elephant.
The way that Ligur died and the way Hastur completely freaked out really unsettled me for some reason
I like the last continent and men at arms, also the time travel one can't remember the name
I really want to beat Michael Sheen's face in a pipe. I've never felt this way about another man before. Am I gay?
the biblical eve is a black woman
Nigga please. Thud! is by far a better novel.

Night Watch is just as good though
as a hardcore, hard line, right wing, Xtreme roller skater: i enjoyed it.

1488 brother, the south will rise again
The weird thing is pepper is a pretty strong character in the book, e.g. breaking another member of the gang's nose for making fun of her name. But they didn't include any of that, and just had her spout soundbites.
I keep asking for it but my wife wont buy it, cause ill force her to play
My wife got it for me for Hogswatch couple years back, plus a Hogswatch stocking
I've been trying to make Discworld threads on Yea Forums for a while, clearly I should make them here
Evolution is real for the purpose of justifying that Adam and Eve should be black. Evolution is not real for the purpose of discussing the impact of the environment on humans and their racial characteristics. Don't be racist. Evolution is a wonderful progressive theory that proves we are all equal. Christcucks BTFO. Only incels care about genetic. It's not a real science like feminism.
Yea Forums seem rather snobbish about Pratchett I've found. The threads get decent enough engagment but tend to die pretty quick.
Fifth Elephant was the first Vimes book I read as kid from the school library, also the first discworld book (possibly first book in general) that I bought with my own hard earned cash, years later. Fell in love with Pratchett because of that book, and it always felt extra comfy to me because of that.
In truth I actually think Night Watch is the best of the Discworld books, but Fifth Elephant just has a special place for me.
>He wanted to go home. He wanted it so much that he trembled at the thought. But if the price of that was selling good men to the night, if the price was filling those graves, if the price was not fighting with every trick he knew…then it was too high.

Nigel was the absolute top tier Rincewind, but Tony’s Vimes was better. Both had good line delivery.
I think Nigel wins overall by merit of not being abridged.
>show made for redditors
>pleb filter
you have to go back
David Tennant is just his usual annoying self. Was the Crowley character like that in the book?
Guys who has the best pronunciation for a not really native speaker to understand?
nice I forgot what else he was in
You can't see grimaces in the book but he's a demon cunt after all. Kinda loved his dancing in the church scene with Nazis which wasn't in the book.
About the same, Nigel has more of an RP accent where as Tony's got a regional accent that might throw you off but on the other hand the Nigel recordings are older and might not be as clear/high quality as the Tony ones.
>rincewind you will wed twoflower and put an end to these disgusting rumours about you and the luggage
>hopefully won't get plagued by American politics.
Don't worry it will be nice and pozzed up for everyone to enjoy. Plenty of LISTEN TO POC clapping etc.
Kate Beckinsale asshole.
No. British Yea Forums is pathetic.
Does the faggotry of the French know no bounds?
>getting triggered by a black nun
>being that retarded
SJW shit and blackwashing is stupid but I don’t see how a black nun counts
A lot of blacks are Christian too so I don’t really understand how you were surprised by a black nun
Watched all six episodes. I liked the rapport between Sheen and Tennant. You can tell Tennant was having a blast playing Crowley. Jack Whitehall was actually bearable in this as well, and McKean killed it as Shadwell. I thought there would be no topping Clive Russell, but he did it. Sadly, the series was a let down when it came to Them. Adam sucked a big one. I care less that Pepper was blackwashed and more that her character was made into a turbo feminist and not the tomboy and protector of the Them that she was, though you couldn't really tell since they all got no characterization at all, even Adam, really, which is sad considering it's fucking Adam. Pretty disappointed in the Horsemen, too. All really did a piss poor job, and I'm extra miffed we didn't get Grievous Bodily Harm, Cruelty to Animals, Really Cool People, and Treading In Dogshit (formerly All Foreigners Especially The French, formerly Things Not Working Properly Even After You’ve Given Them A Good Thumping, never actually No Alcohol Lager, briefly Embarrassing Personal Problems, and finally People Covered in Fish. Also, Miranda Richardson is still hot. Overall, it was good. Lived up to my expectations, though the radio drama is still superior. Fuck, even the cast there looks more like their book counterparts than the TV show, but whatever.
Don't worry everyone will have starved to death before then.
They also turned Drumknott into an fat uggo and Sacharissa looks too fucking old.
Why were the ancient Mesopotamians in ep3 sub-saharan Africans? Why is there blackwashing in literally every single British tv series?
>Adam and Eve
>original Jews
Wrong. They were the original humans. God didn't make a covenant with His people till Abraham, and even then, they weren't Jews. Hebrews, yes, but not Jews. The term Jews refers to Judah, one of the Twelve Tribes. There are Jews, and then there are Israelites.
If they do a big budget tv series about the Ankh-Morpork city watch novels I will finally find out what it feels like to be one of those cunts who cry on the internet about casting decisions they don't like.
spotted the nose
Reformed Christian, actually. I just, you know, read.
Hard choice for me, they become less and less humorous but better in other ways. Feet of clay is probably my favourite. Snuff is the worst by far, featuring the superman version of Vimes
It was fine. It wasn't as good as the book but nothing ever is.
HOT OPINIONS:
>Hastur was the best character
>The CGI looked great sometimes and fucking awful most of the time
>It was so gay it got uncomfortable sometimes
>The kids were terrible except Adam
>The Narrator needed to shut the fuck up
>It should have had the additional horsemen (GBH, Really Cool People, Cruelty to Animals, and the other one)
FUCK NO
That shitty adaptation is the best ever example of how important good casting is
>Rincewind played by 80 year old David Jason
I thought all the kids were terrible, really, especially Adam. My biggest gripe about the show was how the Them were just pretty much glossed over.
In what way is he a super-man version of vimes? Because he can understand Goblins?
I'm surprised they didn't make Jesus black too desu
I liked how Hastur wasn't constantly evil and actually had a bit of character to him. It would have been easy to lose that. His actor did a good job.
The book didn't make me feel any tension about what might happen to him. He felt like the perfect copper, always in control. I really enjoyed the ending, but overall I think it's much weaker than the other watch novels
marathoned the first 16 min and it's boring so far
does it get better?
>man in the high castle
>patriot
>sneaky pete
>bosch
>goliath
Not him but, objective priority order on these? Looking for something to watch as of now.
Given Vimes career, including going back in time to teach himself to be a good cop, he's so experienced and has his temper under control finally that maybe he should always be cool and calm?
The only way I could see to excuse how bad the Them were is that most of the meat of their characters was in the descriptions and what wasn't said. Which is hard to put on screen.
They still sucked though.
Why was he so great?
Right? I loved his deadpan delivery of literally everything.
>I'm Professor Hastur... Lavista.
They should've just used the kids from the radio drama. Look at these kids. They actually look the part, too. And what the fuck was up with that showdown with the Horsemen? They missed the point entirely. What the fuck were they thinking?
Good actor finally getting a fun role
I hate David Tennant so I won't watch it.
Now that's a Chadam.
Watched only 2 episodes so far, but it is quite good, yes
doctor who tier show
into the dustbin
Shittier version of Stranger Things
I bef you think yourself superior for "staying above politics" dont you? Faggots like you are always so fucking obnoxious about how unopinionated they are.
Did they really have to include that "fuck Trump" bit? Won't watch.
Ned Dennehy looks really good with that mop on top.
Must've missed this, where was it? Only thing I caught (apart from diverse casting, which was ok, we got Anathema out of it) was Pepper.
The Agnes Nutter stuff could have been lost. It works in the book but not in the show.
It was what, two minutes?
Not diverse enough
Sensible chuckle
I mean in general. Anathema and Witchfinders did nothing for the plot in the show.
Was pretty good. Only thing that pissed me off was them trimming the Horsemen meet-up in the diner.
I liked watching them fuck personally
I'd have rather they did more with the horsemen
How’s it different in the book?
He was the Headmaster in Slaughterhouse Rulez.
They have a pretty lengthy conversation while waiting for Death to arrive, only to discover that Death was already there playing the trivia game with an audience watching him. Then a question about Elvis's death pops up and he stops playing. One of the watchers tells him the answer and he refuses to input it, claiming I DON'T CARE WHAT THAT THING SAYS, I NEVER TOUCHED HIM.
Was Anathema Device a sexy puerto rican in the book too? Why didn't they cast Victoria Justice in the role?
I'd let her ride on my broom if you know what I'm saying.
The first episode is very skippable on a rewatch.
I kinda assumed that she was straight up white.
No, she wasn't. Didn't really mind, though, as the actress was charming enough and her chemistry with Jack fucking Whitehall of all people was top notch. Seriously, I think this is the one time I didn't find him completely unbearable.
Captcha crappin the bed today, huh hiromoot?
She was described as someone with attractive facial features that weren't attractive together. Then we got this.
Yeah I usually can't stand Whitehall but he seems ok as an actor.
>Why is there blackwashing in literally every single British tv series?
I heard there is some kind of an internal rule at BBC that requires every production of their sto have some percentage of black actors, whether it makes sense for the story or not.
>start up first episode
>God has a woman's voice
>Adam and Eve are niggers
Hard pass.
Mah nigga
Fuck yeah. He really grew into the show.
I don't mind that they cut the extra "horsemen" though, that bit fell flat in the book.
It happens even in radio
Do werewolves, dwarfs and trolls count as POC?
Beelzebub's voice was so damn sexy
Embarrassing
>dude what if angels and demons and gods and stuff were real lmao
WHO the fuck cares
Any chance for a season 2 à la Terror?
Wasn't one of them supposed to be the fat original Young child?
>female characters are strong when they punch things
pls kys
No wait, US ambassador child. That's why he was fat.
Tried to watch the first episode. The writing seemed to put on airs like it was all very clever without actually being very clever at all. Maybe it gets better.
Fat one was the third child and a leader of enemy gang, right? Not shown in the show. Fat Jackson or something.
It doesn't get better
And I think it does. The Nuns part was painful to read (or listen) in the book too.
God brits are ugly fucking people. I don't want to give it a try because the trailer is full of those ugly fucks + that kid making quips combined with generic Queen music
Did the books have those marvel quips?
can't believe he's a literal cuckold. like, not even the meme version Yea Forums loves, the actual cuckold. his wife sleeps with other men with his permission. what a fucking clown.
Dwarves can be Jewish/Mexicans/muslim so there's that shit
Brian isn't fat. He's chubby, but mostly dirty, hence his parallel to Pollution. Greasy Johnson is the fat one, and I'm also upset he wasn't included. Would've been better if he got mentioned and Adam used that explanation at the end. I did like how Adam "defeated" Satan much better in the show, though. That whole "Adam waved his hand," bullshit in the book made no fucking sense.
When Pterry's voice came on the radio I choked up man ;_;
He's mistaken as a lead actor. What he really is is a character actor. Once you see him in that context, he makes total sense. Everyone seems so intent on trying to make all actors into lead actor.
>Satan is evil
>Nigs commit crimes
Connect the dots user
patriot hooks you in first episode and it's got this weird dark comedy in it and a killer intro song
Missed the Pratchett related articles when watching. Wish there was a better view of the paper.
I think that guy was right about you being 14, at least mentally.
He was good the only good part of Bad Times at the El Royale. Movie went to shit when he died
I guess that's why there was that bit earlier where it makes a point of showing the Delivery Guy see Elvis in Famines diner?
What part was Terry's voice?
>hard passing Frances McDormand
>movie by jews mocking religion, Heaven and hell
Gonna be a hard pass from me
That's actually the one with the less seeders on public trackers
Strong disagreement, that movie had a bunch of fun pieces. It's the best role Chris Hemsworth has ever had, for one
In the radio drama, Neil and him voice two police officers that either see Crowley's burning Bentley or the Horsemen pass by.
Well Adam and Eve were the first humans and the first humans in real life were black. I mean, I guess they could have flipped the table and made them Asian.
On god being a woman Adam is actually the son of both Satan and God. The ineffable plan was for them to see which parent Adam would reject.
>the first humans in real life were black
Wasn't that debunked a while ago? I mean africa being the cradle of our species
No. An alternate theory was presented, but Africa is still the most likely source of origin
They fossils they found in the Balkans were a different human species IIRC
I still can't decide if I hate, or love Crowley's retarded Chad walk
Sounds like you've got the gays
was accidently walking next to this chick when i noticed her at a concert and have wanted to bang her since True Detective s2 but I was with my girlfriend.
I told my girlfriend later that day that I saw her and wanted to get a picture and my girlfriend almost broke it off completely with me over it.
Fuck women, but this lady is so good looking.
This
Pretty sure they explicitly stated there's no plans for a season 2 or spin off.
based
And he sleeps with other women too. He's Neil fucking Gaiman, he's knee deep in big tiddy goth fangirls wherever he goes.
I feel like he comes out ahead in that arrangement.
What do you mean
No, it's ok, but only because Sheen and Tennant are doing an amazing job. Everything else is pretty meh, and the script shows that Gaiman has a very superficial understanding of Pratchett's writing.
Gaiman is an idea guy, similar to Stephen King or George Lucas, Pratchett was a wordsmith. It's just doesn't work if you leave the ideas.
Really? I though Gaiman and Pratchett had written some ideas for a sequel with the hopes of doing a continuation if they ever managed to get the tv show made?
Which Pratchett books could be turned into kino?
For me, it's Small Gods.
Gaiman or one the big people in charge of the TV show said something like "it has a beginning middle and end and that's something great about it"
I'd lean towards Going Postal and Night Watch
>Going Postal
gimmick episode
>Night Watch
won't work without context
In Crowley's car on the radio, after the scene with Adam's dreams deleting the nuclear reactors.
Talking about how they need to find terrorists with the ability to remove nuclear reactors iirc
What do you mean by gimmick? Going Postal is the best standalone in the series
I wish I was Neil ;_;
The end leaves stuff open for a continuation though with them receiving nutters new book, sure they burned it but it existing hints that something else will be coming. Also Crowley talking about how the next war is gonna be Angels/Demons vs Humanity.
Reaper Man since it's one of my all time favourites
I think Thief of Time could probably work as a stand alone series, Also The Truth.

Of course Rincewind is even lower.

Agreed, that's what I always assumed too.

The Out-of-Africa Theory isn't debunked but the latest evidence is really weird in my opinion. The map at the top is the current theory of human origins in Africa. The map at the bottom includes the latest archeological finding of the oldest human remains (includes human-made tools). Both information are on wikipedia but the map is not updated, probably because they have no idea how to put the information together the map in a way that makes sense.

See how they rise up...
For a series generally considered as 'fantasy satire' and looked down on by literature types, there's a lot of heavy hitting stuff
The whole scene in Cable Street for a start, fucking dark as shit
Now you’re just saying gibberish.
nobody wants to go digging in middle africa because ALL you'll find is bones, and even if it adds to the story of humanity and further cements our prologue, 'just fucking bones' is incredibly fucking boring.
in fact I'd bet you go looking for cool shit, and when you find old bones, it's icing, even for digs like that in morocco. you don't just go looking for bones, unless you're a paleontologist
>there's a lot of heavy hitting stuff
IMO that's what most of the tv adaptations get wrong. They think because the books are known for being funny that everything has to be wacky, and the end result is kind of twee. Whereas a lot of people/places on discwold are actually incredibly dark or cynical, and a fair bit of pratchett's humour comes from playing things straight to the point of absurdity.
I hear it doesn’t really happen anymore because he is basically old now.
People do dig in Africa. It's why we have these fossils and these maps. People do find it interesting and significant. Perhaps you wanted to say that personally you don't care? That's alright. Your opinion has been received.
Fossil finds are still very much accidental and provide no context. One idiotic band of early humans that wandered off into the desert because their dumb God of Smelly Burps told them to, then barely survives and dies in modern day Morocco is preserved and found. A zillion idiots who hung around Africa 500k years ago but died where it's nor well preserved or deep as shit due to shifting ground, not found. People scratch their heads because they are trying to make a coherent story from 15 random pages of a huge novel where the page numbers are ambiguous and no character names are given.
Just have to accept that this puzzle will only ever have very vague and uncertain answers until one day they can use advanced AI to use every person's DNA to map it out. Or something else equally advanced and not based on finding random bones.
Absolutely
It provide context that humans with tools lived in Morroco 300 000 years ago and therefore that the craddle of humanity cannot be the middle of Africa. I'm sorry if you don't like science now that you don't like the results.
That... explains a lot about his books.
It was fucking underwhelming and childish. Its too much to ask for some armageddon angel/devil battle in a serious tone kino?
His wife is fucking ugly too, he clearly only married her to steal all her fans
Night Watch was kinda ruined for me because of Vimes' time travel shenanigans. It would be so much better if it was simply a story about his mentor, who dies in the end.
I didn't like it for the simple reason that it was bad.
He was pretty good in Decline and Fall, and he was sharing scenes with some kino actors
Only a redditor would call this kino
The book was OK except for Gaiman's writing. What a pretentious hack.
>paves the way for a Discworld series
after Pratchett is dead and can't participate.
I'm sure this will turn out just fine.
Don't forget the mammoth found with tool marks on the bones in California or the fact that some skeletons in British Columbia had a mix of 'human' and Neanderthal DNA. It looks like there were people and 'people adjacent' species walking around north america 100,000 years before the current theories say they should be. There's all kinds of evidence that we have no fucking idea about the true origins of man.
Yea Forums is reddit in denial
Pratchett's works are actually finished, for one thing. Or at least written so that any novel could stand as a conclusion.
Pretty anti-climactic
But the biker gang was the most boring part of the entire book
Imagine being this mad about someone being reasonable
You're the idiot for getting so riled up everytime you see a woman or nigger on the screen. Just calm the fuck down.
>why are they blackwashing people who were black?
retard
Really bad bait. try harder next time
> All the actors are doing funny Monty Python voices.
Annoying as all fuck.
*tips*
Is that Stephen 'Kino' Graham?
>Neil Gaiman
so, pure shit?
Well, Raising Steam was pretty unfinished and all over the place. And we never got the Undertaking (Ankh-Morpork's Underground), just some goblins making a tunnel to Uberwald for no reason.
>Patrician notices stamps are "paper money"
>"nationalizes" banks after Raising Money
>trains are "invented" in Raising Steam
>floats stocks to build a subway ("on Ankh-Morpork? But it's built on loam!"
>Moist is put in charge - final Moist book
[skewering of stock markets, financial bubbles, public transport, and wheeler-dealing like in the US Transcontinental Railway (the tunnel to Uberwald) intensifies]
Yep
Dude used to fuck goth groupies at comic book conventions all the time
This book ripped its humour so hard from hitchhiker's guide
>We will never get a Discworld dramatization with Alan Rickman as Havelock Vetinari.
>black Adam and Eve
>God is a woman
Dropped in less than 3 minutes. I dont watch this things.
Who would you cast as the lord Patritian?
Vimmes and Carrot are the only castings I care about.
