>Introduce new series called The Terror
>Season 1 is story of survival as ship crew slowly loses hope against extreme elements, isolation and paranoia with a sprinkle of light supernatural elements
>Season 2 looks like cheap Japanese horror knockoff with full blown supernatural elements
What the fuck went wrong? What would should have season 2 been about? Let alone the franchise?

Some user mentioned the idea of having a Soviet 'Great Terror' era setting that juxtaposes communist culture and atheism with Slavic mythology set in a remote Russian village, possibly the Urals, where a Communist Party officer is sent to investigate reports of dissenters gaining influence in the local soviet. The 'creature' could be the Babi Yaga of Russian folklore and the party suspected of dissent, or illegal religious gathering (suspected to be Orthodox) turns out to be cultists practicing ancient pagan beliefs.
Manbearpig is a “light supernatural element”?
in the very first trailer of season 1 you know that there are supernatural elements
>illegal religious gathering
Was this really a thing? That seems pretty rude. Just let the people go to church, they aren't hurting anybody.
>dude season 1 again
>ship crew slowly loses hope against extreme elements, isolation and paranoia
so soi horror?
Kino
Should've been donner party or roanoke
Perhaps 'unregistered' religious gathering. I think some religious services continued but usually under heavy scrutiny.
How is that even like the first season at all? Completely different settings, following 1 officer rather than an entire crew, the only similarity is having a supernatural element. There was a shaman in the first season, and there'd be a cult in the second.
one major part of maintaining a communist country is the government taking down all independent cultures that they can't control
religious leaders can easily have more influence on their followers than the government
Were they afraid the christians were going to have a bake sale or something?
Season 2 should have been about the Dyatlov Pass incident
The only problem with that is the incident itself was probably only a couple of hours long.
They could pace it well enough. Start it with them trekking up through the mountains, they had been at it for days before the incident. Could have eerie shit happening along the way or just a strong sense that something isn't right, exactly how they did with season one. Could introduce elements of strange military involvement or infrasound just like some of the theories. You could extrapolate on what happened before and after the incident itself occurred. Maybe introduce dissenting opinions on whether to turn back, whether to carry on, whether to investigate, etc. Is there a beast like in season one or a spirit or something sinister like that? Or were they just driven mad somehow? The last few episodes could be about the search and the discovery and trying to piece together what happened, with the government chalking it up to nothing and closing the books but the viewer knows there's more to it. Plenty of subject matter and plenty of ways you could do it.
Organizations outside of the State worried them. Could be a source of potential dissent.
Why not follow up with Franklin's cousin doing his voyage across the Australian desert and encountering Aboriginal spirits there. It would have been great imo because it could parallel the experiences but in the desert.
>tv show is callled The Terror cause its based on a book which is based on real life and the name comes from one of the ships they rode on
>tv show is called The Terror Season 2 cause ???
That's why having the Soviet 'Great Terror' as the setting would be a good move.
It's called Chernobyl.
>no Crozier
>no qt Hickey
>no male camaraderie
What's the point?
There might be new qts
no one compares to this inimitable semen demon
>unattractive Asian men
>George Takei
Unlikely.
its a bunch of middle aged asian dudes, dude
They shouldn't have called future series The Terror for one. It was a great name for this series because of the actual ship, but going forward it just kind of kills it if they're going for a Terror anthology series.
Not exactly the same as your idea, but if you want Soviets fighting horrors there's an episode of Love, Death and Robots that does exactly that. 'The Secret War' I think.
i really liked the cast of season 1 and kind of wished that they would have dropped the whole supernatural killer manbear subplot to focus more on the crew going slowly insane and starving instead
I fear that they might have stretched it too thin if they did that.
It's by completely different people.
This whole thing is reminding me of True Detective again
First season of Terror based on a good book, season 1 of TD was plagiarized.
Season 2 of TD they saw that people liked one of the characters so they made every character like that. Second season of Terror they saw that people liked the supernatural elements so they added a shit ton of spooky moments into it.
I bet the writing will match up in terms of it being clearly rushed and missing several needed redrafts.
this explains everything. fucking AMC holy shit they really cant help themselves from milking every little thing they get, can they?
They should have just turned it into The Dan Simmons Show and adapted his other period piece horror and thriller novels.
>After a certain age a man who doesn't have a wife, three dachas, Party membership, and a black market connection on speed dial can be a bad thing...
>Season 2 of TD they saw that people liked one of the characters so they made every character like that.
Literally don't know what you mean by this
every main character is moody dark and nihilistic
gee i wonder who was the fan favorite of the first season
I'm going to reserve judgment until I watch episode 1.
People liked Rust so in season 2 everyone talks nihilistic riddles and monologues like him. They forgot that Rust only worked because he had Marty by his side who would immediately call him out on his pretentious shit.
I think both Marty and Rust were moody and nihilistic. Marty just refused to acknowledge the hypocrisy of acting against his values. I especially think the
>YOU FAT PUSSY
character (can't remember anyone's names in season 2) was completely a Marty derivative as he's a "family man" who can't actually act like one, and has bouts of rage and violence. Compare these two scenes for example:
>Second season of Terror they saw that people liked the supernatural elements so they added a shit ton of spooky moments into it.
That's just not true though. I see people bitch about tuunbaq all the time on Yea Forums. The true story of what happened to these people is genuinely terrifying and could have been done without any supernatural elements at all. Internment camps aren't really all that terrifying on their own.
Mutiny on the bounty keep it ship kino.
>when you re-read the script and realize your character dies off 3 episodes in
>make anthology series
>don't bring back Jared Harris, Ciaran Hinds, Tobias Menzies and Adam Nagaitis
>Internment camps aren't really all that terrifying on their own.
That's a good point. They could be degrading or humiliating sure, but I don't think that's the kind of premise that screams "danger" unless they work in some overly sadistic guard or something (which I'm sure they will to please anti-military sentiment) into the plot.
I don't think it can even be considered an anthology series since it's literally just them putting different ideas under a title people will recognize. Like whatever you'd call the cloverfield "universe".
where can I watch this?
theinternet.com/theterror
Why does this useless nigga get to be on the poster of the show?
he's the best character and he died too early
>you like to bully kids ASS PEN?
god i forgot how fucking terrible the writing was in this
you lie
I like the added supernatural element. A bunch of fags going crazy might've not really been handled well. Plus I love monster horror.
nah, manbearpig was neat.
fuck religions
>making enemies for no reason
Retarded
Catholics overthrew the socialist government in Poland which indirectly caused the collapse of every socialist government in Europe. So maybe they were right to suppress religion
What SHOULD S2 have been about? Nazino affair?
The Terra Nova expedition would have been cool. The title even works perfectly. Although maybe it would be too similar to the first season.
>nazino affair
>spanish conquistadors
>roman exploration of albion with spooky druid stuff
>donner party
all good choices
its extremely important in a communist regime to replace God with Leader. A religious presence undermines the authority of a leader as the be all end all.
"Stalin orders you to do X" "But our thousand year old scripture tells us to do Y!" is a pretty big issue. You need something controllable.
Everyone replying to your post is talking out of their ass. Russia has a long history of alliance between the church and tsarism, the two were deeply intertwined. The communists wanted to tear everything up by the root, to rid themselves of all the backwardness that shackled them to the past, to do this the church had to go. Commies were a cancerous stain, but you can't fault their drive and effort.
>Was this really a thing?
Yes, but very quitely and low key, maybe you meet with some other families in the basement of your granny to baptize your kid in secret and stuff like that.
he's not really my cup of tea, but what is it about mr hickey that got me so charmed?
there shouldn't have been a second season
the first season is a contained story based on a book and it concluded. it was called the terror because that's the name of one of the ships
>What the fuck went wrong?
The interview is impossible to Google now, but the showrunners said the entire season is about white guilt and an analogy for how illegal immigrants are being treated in America today.
i don't get the appeal either. same with "Stranger things" - fucking garbage.
yikes
>they aren't hurting anybody
They are.
This show had a great season 1. AMC is just scared of releasing a new IP so they plugged the name on.
this cant be real
nothing because a season 2 shouldn't exist
>Babi Yaga
>Justin Beiber haunts the vast Siberian wilderness
Sounds like a recipe for kino. I'm honestly disappointed this will never ever be made
there are qt asians
>Executive producer Max Borenstein added: “As a history-buff and genre geek (not to mention a conscious American today), it’s clear that truth is always scarier than fiction…This season of The Terror uses as its setting one of the darkest, most horrific moments in our nation’s history. The Japanese-American internment is a blemish on the nation’s conscience — and one with dire resonance to current events.
Trump is putting unoriginal Japanese ghost monsters in the concentration camps.
Babi's first yaga
cant say bad things about commies tho they are 50% of netflix's subscription bux
That episode was fucking kino and I'd love too see it as a Terror-like seasonal adaptation.
Or a standalone fuck it it was awesome.
Christians and priests were sent to torture camps, it's very well documented and written about. It's currently going on in China and Islamic countries/areas and one could argue Christianity is slowly being strangled in the West as well, especially in Europe. Being free to have your religion is a modern and very western ideal. That's why they attack it at every chance.
