German gf gets filtered

HelpfulJello5361@reddit

I don't know if I'm just crazy or what, but over many years of recommending media to people and watching it with them, I've discovered that people just have this sort of innate contrarianism whenever you tell them some piece of media is really good. It's like you're priming them to try to prove you wrong somehow.

I would show my friends kino and I discovered the less I hyped it up, the less they criticized it. Then I really went mad scientist and a couple times I found a movie or show I liked and I said "I tried watching this show cause it had good press, but when I tried it out it kinda sucked. But I thought maybe we could watch it anyway".

After this preamble, guess how they reacted? They would like it.

I dunno if I'm just crazy or have weird friends or what, but I really believe this is how people generally are.

[-]

bitchasscuntface@reddit

It is and i believe its to do with expectations. "Hey this is good", oh my friend the helpful jello said its good so its gotta be. Bam, expectations high. If it is then a technically good show, its not as good as they played out in their minds, and therefor strikes them as "bad". Same goes vice versa. Thats why when my brother and i recommend shows, we only say "watch this, watch that" no story, no spoilers, no expectations - especially bc we sometimes recommend for our own reality check "oh so the show really was bad, not just to me! Thx, bro"

I've never had that experience with "Bloodsport" with Jean-Claude Vam Dam. I set the bar high telling them to be prepared to be on the edge of your seat and Vam Dam always delivers. Ive showed the movie to over 10 people all them blown away, not believing their eyes.

It depends if you have a contentious or competitive relationship with the person, some are going to be the opposite, they'll just mirror what you say.

Tried to get my best friend into elden ring because he beat all of the dark souls games and sekiro, so seemed right up his alley. He came up with the weirdest reasons to dislike it like “it’s too big it’s overwhelming” or “I just don’t think I can learn this combat system” dude you beat sekiro lol.

Like a year later he got into it on his own and hasn’t stopped playing since.

Had the same experience as you. my friend has played and liked all the dark souls games, and we are both playing ER for the first time right now. He spent a dozen hours to beat the first Tree sentinel at level 1, then basically speedran the rest of the game. no interest in exploring the open world, he did nothing but beat the main bosses as fast as possible, and then he dropped the game between Leyndell and Mountaintop. Then, of course, his opinion of the game was that he didn't like it.

Sir_DogeGD@reddit

I feel this, if someone recommends me something I will not care. Although if I am actively seeking out a recommendation, like if a show is good or not, I will listen to what they have to say, or what the reviews are saying. I think the best method would be to merely get a show on someones radar, mention you watched it and liked it, and then move on.

[-]

MrMadis112@reddit

I think it’s more of a generational issue. Most people nowadays don’t want to watch something that requires a lot of thought, they want to sit in front of the TV or at the cinema and turn their heads off to take some time. If you like dark then you probably like more “complex” media, which is neither wrong nor right, you are just in the minority

[-]

Accomplished_Bet_781@reddit

But shes right.. Its more boring stranger things, and whats worse, its german. The only way, they could make it worse, is make it french.

[-]

kalelmotoko@reddit

Dark is more complex and coherent than stranger things. It's one of the best serie i have ever seen. Yes the rythm is slow, the deutsch atmosphere is heavy, but this serie is a gem. Yes, the series is complicated and you almost have to take note of certain details to avoid getting lost, but these are the defects of its qualities. The series is so incredible that I recommend it to fans of fantasy or science fiction.

Even then i can see the point of the gf, the first two episodes are both slow and confusing. The boyfriend had to help her tho instead of just dropping her.

[-]

SourceJobWoman@reddit

I wouldn't even call the first episodes slow, almost every scene is introducing a new character and their relationships with everyone else, if they went any faster it would be impossible to keep track of everything. You're correct about being confusing, especially if you don't know remember the characters' names.

[-]

conqaesador@reddit

I watched the first two episodes and the only thing i don‘t get is why people are calling it confusing. It‘s pretty obvious from the start, that the kod traveled back in time, but they kept teasing it, like it‘s some big revelation. The dialogue was badly written (as in almost every german production). I didn‘t feel overwhelmed, i was bored out of my mind.

I know a lot of people love the show, everyone has their own opinion, that‘s fine. But i hate when people act like you‘re either a fan, or you just didn‘t get it because it‘s oh so complicated.

[-]

Spiridor@reddit

Maaaaaan you're acting like the plot doesn't very quickly turn into CW-tier execution of timey-wimey storylines

redditisbadmkay9@reddit

It's simply a large series of contrived events with barely any semblance of character depth beyond "so the ~~story~~sacred timeline can happen."

It's a complex story, so yeah everything must be put in place in order to work during the saison. Rythm is slow, it can be hard sometimes. Especially on the first episodes, but honestly, after it become more and more pleasurable, and you become hooked to the scenario. But each his own.

based. i haven't even finished that shit and my german is very, very good.

they just take their sweet fucking time with the events, feels like every episode is just tryna stall for time while basically nothing happens and "oh nooo, some shit is afoot"

don't get me wrong, the cinematography and acting are very good, but it's 90% suspense and 10% actual plot, gets fucking boring after a while, at some point I was yelling at my tv: "GET ON WITH IT!!!!"

[-]

ItsHighSpoon@reddit

At least it's not House of Dragon type slow where you have whole season of things happening but nothing is changing. It's just a specific type of show, if you like action then you won't get hooked because there's rarely any action, it's just mystery and the unknown.

[-]

__cum_guzzler__@reddit

true lol

nah i was hooked on the suspense, but halfway through i realized that this their whole shtick. dangle the resolution carrot in front of our faces for whole season. no big reveal at the end of season 1 tho, not really. didn't bother with season 2 because i forgot everyone's names and shit

[-]

It’s nothing like stranger things. This proves you didn’t even watch Dark. It’s time travel not monsters from spooky land. wtf is wrong with you

[-]

Accomplished_Bet_781@reddit

I watched the first episode with my gf. The post is about a person making a comment during episode 2. But we didnt even make to episode 2. I recall it being more boring Stranger things. Maybe it get better, maybe its a slow burn with great ending. But the post is about the start of the series, not the whole series.

[-]

DanFlashes420-69@reddit

There’s no time travel in stranger things. There’s no monsters in Dark. They’re not comparable at all. Begs the questions. Why is media comprehension so bad now?

[-]

kdhd4_@reddit

Damm bro two series set in a small town following groups of people in the 70s-80s after the disappearance of children, with a dark premise revolving the supernatural/science fiction. Not comparable at all.

[-]

DanFlashes420-69@reddit

lol such a bad comparison, well I don’t like spoiling things but here we go. Dark is a trinity fixed timeline that takes place in 33 year increments. The show spans hundreds of years and is more science fiction and not horror based at all like stranger things. Again you have no clue what you’re talking about… damn bro, almost as if I’ve seen both shows and you haven’t. Crazy how opinions can be bad based off knowledge of media

[-]

kdhd4_@reddit

I did watch it. We were talking about the point of view of someone that's just started season one, why tf would you bring up stuff from season three. The initial premise is similar, I'm not comparing the further development.

You can easily sit down and watch it and enjoy it immensely. You just have to not have the attention span of a moth, and not be regarded.

[-]

Rich-Anxiety5105@reddit

Basically every fact you need to remember will be repeated multiple times throughout the show every season. Unless you're on your phone half the time or take weeks between watching, its not that deep. Its a magnificent show that doesnt hold the viewer's hand hand and doest treat them like they have kindergarted level of comprehension. Totally okay to say you dont like the show. But to say its boring says more about the one saying it, than the show itself. The journey it takes you on is one well worth taking.

[-]

Shirokuma247@reddit

I’m not refuting the fact it’ll be boring, but if I take a week off not watching the show because I’m playing or something else caught my attention, if I can’t jump back into it without having to find some recap on my phone then I’m just leaving it altogether.

[-]

Rich-Anxiety5105@reddit

Wait what do you mean you don't like it?! I thought it was good, and it comes from YOUR CULTURE! What did you say? Taste is subjective and everyone is an individual? Just because I was born into a culture of people that may like a specific thing, doesn't mean I will like that specific thing by default? Pfft, yeah right. You're just a jaded idiot with a false knowledge of YOUR CULTURE and don't know what good KINO is, I don't know if I even want to date you anymore if you don't like stuff from YOUR CULTURE.

If we’re talking generation defining we should probably add lost and the walking dead, though the walking dead was really only good for the first season. It’s true that dark doesn’t have as big of an impact but it’s absolutely amazing. My personal favorite tv series though is deadwood, sadly deadwood ends without a conclusion and the movie they released recently is terrible but it’s just perfect. For me.

How tf time travelling and paradoxes are related to Stranger Things? I watched both shows, they're not even comparable, there are no monsters in Dark. The ending of Dark was bad, besides that it is a great show and if people can't stand other language other than English, skill issue.

[-]

Asmodevus@reddit

It was one man's doing and basically all timelines were happening in alternate reality iirc. I kinda hoped for more mysterious/paranormal ending.

iqbalpratama@reddit

The way the ending unfolded, felt a bit rushed, maybe if there's more episodes digging deeper to the lore of that scientist, maybe it will feel better

redditisbadmkay9@reddit

[-]

MrMadis112@reddit

The first episodes are a little similar because of the theme (missing child, crazy things going on in the town). And I particularly disagree with the the ending. For me, few series can be good at the beginning, middle and end and dark is one of them

[-]

boy_blue1982@reddit

Did this show have a bunch of crappy follow-up seasons? If not, then it's already better than stranger things

[-]

MrMadis112@reddit

I mean Stranger Things is far from being a bad show but I understand the issue of multiple seasons making it more boring. In the case of Dark, everything was already designed to be done in three seasons and that’s it. Therefore, the narrative is well structured and enjoyable to watch. A Show as big as ST it starts to become less complex due to its size, which leads to more filler episodes and less pleasant decisions

I’m (obviously) about the current “cinema” Germany has, or rather stuff it spits out.

Metropolis is one of my favourite movies. I have a few copies of it because every time a new scene was discovered I bought the new cut with it in it.

The decline in quality (and effort and care) put in content is really sad. But I think almost every country that produces movies/tv shows has this problem. Some just have more money to cover it up.

Everything was fine until I found that the mc was in love with his aunt (?)

Maybe. But then they never were.

I don't remember that much where I left, I saw I believe 3 seasons and the last I remember is the girl from an alternate reality coming bro's fucked up timeline where he is evil

I like to put this show on to go to sleep, that's not a criticism, it's something I enjoy about it's rainy, grey, slow pace. It's so depressing and sleepy, love it.

No gf is right, Dark is shit and is self masturbatory in it's themes.

SeriousGains@reddit

The last season was pretty dumb.

GeneralEi@reddit

Dark is like stranger things for people that actually like to pay attention to media that they watch

[-]

outlawgene@reddit

I watched the entire thing. It was trash.

[-]

thesonoftheleviathan@reddit

most rated show of all time? yeah sure

[-]

TestningMan@reddit

Totally not highly rated because people (like you maybe?) think it requires some high thinking to understand.

The show is basically an anime. Time travel shit that doesn’t make sense, and then in the end it’s explained that there’s multiple timelines or some stupid shit that also doesn’t make sense etc.

[-]

TestningMan@reddit

It’s a pretty bad show.

I saw a season or two, nothing really happens. Cba for them to explain the time paradox because it makes no sense.

They could’ve made it good, but they failed to.

What is kino? Kuniya?

Dark ist ein kino.

The 3 seasons/act fit the narrative and all serve their purpose other than the last one. I felt it dragged on way too long and there was little progression happening. Obviously the point was to quite literally tie up all loose ends, but there is no mystery anymore. You just sort of wait for the "end" to happen.

I kept it really spoiler free, some say you need to take notes while watching. If you do, keeping track of families and family trees is important. There is also a website with "notes" that expands per episode that can do that for you.

I highly recommend giving the show a try for at least the first few episodes.

The fuck is Kino? Isn't that a diet where you don't eat vegetables or something?

RagnarokHunter@reddit

I watched this until the end of season 2 where they wrote themselves into a corner and had to resort to parallel realities to continue. Or at least that was the impression it gave me. To this day I'm still longing for a show or movie with a coherent time travel plot that doesn't involve branching universes or shit just fading from existence.

Dark is absolutely fucking ass

Then your gf has no taste. I mean we already knew that because she likes a 4chan poster.

Siri2611@reddit

Dark is really good honesty

It starts kinda slow but gets really interesting after like 2-3 episodes

[-]

JudgementalChair@reddit

Dark was pretty good though. The first few episodes are slow for sure

IncognitoBombadillo@reddit

I wanted to get into this show but couldn't for a reason I couldn't communicate. "Boring" is the word I'd use. It's a shame because I liked the premise and recognized that it was good cinematography, acting, and writing. Same reason why I watched like only the first 20 mins of Parasite. Just didn't hook me even though it checked all of the other boxes to get me interested. I do want to try to watch that again though.

When someone tells me this show is 'too complicated to be enjoyable' or anything similar I assume they can't sit through an episode without picking up their phone five minutes in.
