In what way is Cowboy Bepop of all things pretentious?
fpbp
IT IS SO DEEP!!
SO MELANCHOLIC!!!
THE FEELS MAAAAANNNNN!!!!
big think post
fuck Dante's inferno
Why’d you post self portrait
How intellectually stunted do you have to be to think Cowboy Bebop is pretentious?
By far
I watched lock stock and snatch and theyre both great what makes revolver shit
Every single movie from guy ritchie is pretentious.
Cowboy bebop is so simple and easy to get into how is it pretentious at all
Blade Runner 2049

Easy.
The movie Wavelength (by Michael Snow 1967)
It's a 45 minute zoom-in onto a picture of a wave on a wall.
Very ARTSY!
Verrry FARTSY!
It's "experimental" and "too deep for me."
I think it's a crime against thought and human creativity.
Here is in its entirety...
What does it mean?
I think we have a wiener.
Drive or City of Pirates
It means the filmmaker is a creatively bankrupt con-artist who knows how to manipulate the art culture crowd.
Begotten
It's like toooooo deeeeeep for you maaaaaaaan!
sceniechdoche dont care i spelled it wrong
I watched Bebop and Space Dandy one after the other a few years back. It was my first time watching each series.
Space Dandy is better.
>pretentious
hahaha you dont even understand what this word means I bet
Also no Cowboy Bebop is not Pretentious.

didnt andy warhol make a "movie" like this?
Uh yeah, I'm thinking Anonymous No. 119215746 is BASED.
Stay pleb
Evangelion is dishonest and forced
pretty sure he made a porno
its the most un-lock and un-snatch thing there is
This. Fpbp
Evangelion is small time compared to Ergo Proxy in terms of 2deep4u
>Seems quite interesting honestly
Pretentious people tend to enjoy pretentious things.
I really struck a nerve here, huh?
If having taste and rejecting trash is pleb. I'll gladly stay pleb.

It tells the same storie countless other Action and Noir movies tell.BUT IT IS A CARTOON AND IN SPACE!!!!
What does that have to do with pretense?
>pretentious means something I don't like
Starfish
It's not horror, it's not romance, it's certainly not Lovecraftian, the twist ending is a failure. Absolutely awful.
You know damn well what it means.Thats all so why are you manchildren are so mad right know.
>Cowboy bebop
>Pretentious
I for once can't wait for summer to be over and school to start again you contrarian edgy fucks
In its worst episodes yes. In its best episodes it's completely its own beast. Just totally goofy and strange. Like the one with the actual cowboy, or the one with the guy with tits
The Phantom of Liberty
>can't wait for summer to be over and school shootings to start again
Bad pretentious: Tarkovsky
Good pretentious: Von Trier
I don't know if black mirror counts but the people who watch that complete garbage seem to think it's some form of high art.
>what if priminister fucked pig for no reason
>meme talent show thats EPICALLY WEIRD
That's all i could stomach through, can't remember anything but these two godawful episodes.
Yeah they were shit
But the actual creator has admitted that he's taking the piss when he writes them, and he intentionally just creates weird scenarios for shits and giggles. People take them too seriously
I know what it means. I don't know what you think it means. Pretentious means made with the pretense that the average viewer won't like it because it requires an above average intellectual level. Cowboy Bebop, in contrast, is one of the most accessible anime series in the western world.
>>what if priminister fucked pig for no reason
That's probably a jab at British former PM David Cameron who actually did fuck a pig.
Nope!! Back to Wikipedia Faggott
>pussy
Thanks for revealing your true motivation for defending pretentious art films.

I've had many girlfriends. I've argued with most of them. None of them have ever "threatened to make their holes unavailable". What manner of autist wrong this cringe?
Back to ESL class, Jose.
Mr.Jose for you .
Wait why are people disagreeing? Cowboy bebop is literal cringe tier pretentiousness take the nostalgia goggles off
Are you even capable of having an opinion that doesn't just consist of buzzwords?

No one said anything about arguing with a significant other

Based. Terrible idea terrible with terrible scripts and acting so terrible you could almost forget how poorly conceived the show was. Full House and its sitcom brethren had a huge impact on creating the cynical, angry, and generally sour gen X'ers
easily
Yeah man, it was all some dumb tv shows, not society crumbling around us.
Cool is a pleasurable aesthetic, differentiating itself from others as it provides a dffierent pleasurable feeling than others, giving a sense that one wishes they could be who that person in the show is.
A lot of the shows motifs try to be this: the Jazz, the witty yet dry main character, the entire idea of the space adventure kind of deal, never going that much over the top as to be grounded, among many others.
based retard
Fpbp
>a pleasurable aesthetic, differentiating itself from others as it provides a dffierent pleasurable feeling than others, giving a sense that one wishes they could be who that person in the show is
And how is this show "pretending" to be this if it's an entirely subjective experience and most people clearly agree that it succeeds?
Where's the pretense? Because you personally didn't like it?
Can you name a movie or show that in your opinion succeeds in being cool?
you inadvertently made a good case for watching cowboy bebop because it nails all those points perfectly

>And how is this show "pretending" to be this if it's an entirely subjective experience and most people clearly agree that it succeeds?
>opinions should be based on the opinions of others
All art is subjective, thus all critique is subjective as well. It pretends to be cool to me and that is all that matters

That's clearly what your statement implies.

"I am dealing entirely in opinions and trying to pass them off as fact" the post.
>The show wants you to be these people instead of explicitly showing how they're all broken and traumatized by the past and their inability to escape/confront it with the nostalgic jazz and noir aesthetics reinforcing the theme of being stuck in the past

My butthurt meter exploded after reading this thread.Well done Op
>op attempts to console himself
you arent fooling anyone little pleb
>haha no one will ever get my inteligent and nihilistic sense of humuour
There's a reason non weebs can tolerate this show over Evangelion. Evangelion is fundamentally about glorifying being a pathetic adolescent boy who refuses to grow up while Cowboy Bebop is about what it's like to be an adult with a past and history. Of course weebs are going to relate to Evangelion more.
Die Hard
How?
Not in every sense of course, but people like the character enough to want to emulate at least something, his dry humor if nothing else
I never said that people should find it pretentious, merely that it is. Don’t put words in my mouth
I literally did the exact opposite of that.
And is everyone these days, even in the 90s, stuck in the past? Everyone is trying to relive their childhoods more than ever, reactionary rhetoric is taking off more than ever, but no one has “cool” space adventures bounty hunting gimmicks like the people in the show. That is what is supposed to be “cool”.
Do me a favor guys and stop liking pretentious faggotry
You literally didn't.
Prove it
You made the claim, so back it up
>no one has “cool” space adventures bounty hunting gimmicks like the people in the show. That is what is supposed to be “cool”.
user the reason these things aren't happening is because space travel as seen in the show doesn't exist as it takes place in a fictional sci fi universe. en.m.wikipedia.org
There it is, I couldn't actually believe people thought it was good.
Let me lay it out for you.
You responded to >pretentious means something I don't like
As if he was wrong.
Then later on followed up with >It pretends to be cool to me and that is all that matters
So not only are you pretending your opinions are fact but you're a hypocrite as well, going back on the initial assertion you made as soon as it became clear that you were arguing from a subjective point of view.
Awful film
but isnt the difference here that warhol's film is ambient, it's supposed to be projected upon a screen like a screensaver. Its not supposed to be actively watched.
None of you faggots will beat this submission.
I really hated this fucking movie
kino, of course Yea Forums getting filtered once again
alexa, play them endgame i guess
It's not pretentious, it's just the reddit faggots overrate it too much. The movie was amazing and better than the series themselves
People don't have cool space adventures but they do sometimes get jobs where they're moving from gig to gig barely scraping by enough money for food because they are unwilling or unable to find stable employment because of their history
based and fpbpilled
The movie was really bad. Action movie tripe
This I can agree with.
It's one of the many things retards will try to "show off" as the right thing to like in order to fit in with certain groups rather than forming their own opinion.
It's a good show for many reasons and should be praised as such but as with so many things, it will be run into the ground by fanatics who don't actually give a shit about anything other than the actual act of obsessing over shit in order to fill some void in their lives.
I recognize the behavior because I've found myself doing the same on occasion over the years and it adds absolutely nothing but stagnation and emptiness to your life.
Like what you like.

all OP
And why, pray tell, is it Sci-Fi?
Let it be known that Sci-Fi is cool to a lot of people.
I never went back on it. There is more to me not liking it than simply “prententious means something I don’t like” (Anonymous Yea Forums poster, 2019).
I believe that there is a pretense that it goes for that it does not satisfy for me. A lot less reductive than what you said/implied.

no
one of those was mine
Agreed. The only thing good about the show was Faye's boob jiggle physics and the kino end credit song, the rest was hardcore 90's hipsterdom.
The intro is one of the best intros of any show ever, too bad the show is garbage
For me, it's RahXephon
OP still coping with his pleb taste
and totally wrong. Cowboy bebop is THE entry level anime it isnt just reddit that likes it stop letting reddit influence you so much
But unironically.

Top that off with Texhnolyze and there's your holy trinity of pretentious anime.
All of that sounds pretty good though
Except RahXephon is actually good.

i honestly want to know how the most surface level anime has le fanatics and where you encountered those people because cowbot bebop isnt some sort of niche cult hit like Giant Robo that genuinely does attract fanatics

I wasn't aware Yea Forums had so many weebs.
Anyways, this is my entry. Season 1 was amazing,but I can't watch this shit after 8 episodes into the second season.
It's trying so hard to be deep, and philosophical and come up with a clever twist for the audience. I just cant, anymore.

You could go out and shoot some turks right now, instead of defending a pretentious gook Cartoon you muttpig.
this ended horribly. it would have been alright except for the abrupt ending with some horseshit 'symbolism'. lanthimos goes either way with me, loved the lobster and killing of a sacred deer, but dogtooth was awful.
Cowboy Bebop is trash. Kill yourself.
easy on the calls of mass killing there ahmet
You enjoy getting german women and Kids seeing raped? Youre love for CB makes sense now.

Is "pretentious" the new "cuck". Just a word that used to have a meaning but now just used to describe something you didn't like?
stop projecting your fantasies ahmet its embarassing
All his movies have ended abruptly. For me this was probably his best and most consistent film. I thought it was pretty interesting cause I don't remember the last time I watched a movie full of women.

These are youre fantasies you antifa cuck.The Fire will rise soon enough!!!
dude racism lmao
youre the only one bringing up mass killings and rape lmao at this projection
I wish i could have liked it but it was just unbearably messy.
Say their names and they'll feel inclined to respond.
I'm not calling you weebs for liking Bebop, weebs are the only ones that get offended by "wrong think".
Kind of like you two fairies right now lmao
ah so you were only pretending to be retarded got it
Yeah so? So you want to spread youre Cheeks and just take it?
And thanks for the bumps Schluchtenscheisser (;
>being a tourist retard is a "wrong think" now
seemed like nothing more than propaganda desu
The editing in Vice was trash, I don't understand how this movie won awards. I regretted watching it.
i suppose. this one didn't seem to have much resolution, payoff, etc. but yeah, the three leads were very good in this, but i had a hard time dealing with emma stone's engish accent attempt- reminded me too much of her goofy accent in Maniac

"Pretentious" is the old "cuck".
People have been using that shit on Yea Forums for decades.
>288 posts in
>Still no real definition for what "Pretentious" means or how it applies
My Westworld post fits pretentious pretty well.
>289 posts
>anime thread on Yea Forums not deleted yet
Use reference numbers, you mook. You've been given tools, now use them.
As you see everyone here is a Retard.You on the other hand sound pretty smart.Please explain to us what it means.
I make a post asking what "pretentious" means, and your first line of thought is to ask ME for a definition? As though I know?
I thought you where being sarcastic.I am sorry.
Remember in college when you had a 5000 word lit assignment but pissed away the whole semester so you had to make up a huge amount of ridiculous abstract bs the night before and just hope the lecturer bought it?
That was what the last episodes of Evangelion were.
Rhetorical, maybe. But if I was making any point, it's that people are mostly talking past each other because they aren't necessarily describing the same thing.
I imagine it's something like - film/TV made with an overly deliberate artistic ideal in some way, and that preachy or self-aggrandizing quality is made more stark by either a pseudo-intellectual point or vanity. Where entertainment or art gives way to a kind of pomposity, or a poor attempt at insight, or something that generally doesn't make for good viewing, and is serving a fancier ideal than the quality or standard of its expression.
now to adk the question: does cowboy bebop adhere to this definiton? I say no.
More like, the last few episode of Evangelion are what happens when you have a great speech with a powerpoint prepared, only to find out on the last day of class that the projector broke and now you're stuck trying to describe the graphs you had prepared.
The budget got slashed for the series towards the end, leading to the last few episodes being bizarre and esoteric. Storyboards were prepared well in advance, but abandoned due to not being able to animate stuff like Asuka's fight with the MPE. Which is why the movie was made.
I also say no. I thought it was good
For me it's Lars Von Trier tier stuff. Can't stand it tbqh
So you're saying you haven't actually looked through the thread, yet you're complaining about not being given an actual answer?
Either that or you have a bad memory.
That's the whole fucking point, word is being thrown around as a substitute for "I didn't get/like it"
>hates lars von trier
>likes cowboy bebop
good taste user
this. overrated sure but how could you think bebop is pretentious.
i know i was just asking the question aain with a definition we can somewhat agree on
OP confirmed faggot
>imagine relegating yourself to the guns the government says are okay then tricking yourself into thinking they are actually good..
haha i used the same 7 guns in every movie regardless of the action
A faggott with 307 bumps i might ad!!
You algo got struck in the head as a baby
You like to suck alot of cocks right?
This. Pure action my ass.
so far OP is the only correct one ITT.
I'm saying "USE REFERENCES, YOU FUCKING NEWFAG".
That begins and ends what I am saying.
