YO IVE HAD AN AMAZING BREAKTHROUGH
I STILL DONT LIKE THING BUT I FIGURED OUT WHY I DONT LIKE HING
ITS A TV SHOW
AFTER FINDING A TV SHOW I LIKE, AND CAN RIFF ABOUT REALLY LONG
I CAN COMARE IT TO OTHER TV
AND GO
"HOLY FUCK"
like shit
ever notice how big bang theory has been on for like seven seasons but the characters havent done any development?
but community is like, fighting with its last breath for a season six, but after about four seasons, we have a completely different batch of relatable chucks to realte to and FEEL FEELINGS WITH?!
yo check it. incoming wall of text.
Im spitting mad bars on television.
im getting deep into the character development in community
and how well thought out it all was
how the characters interacted with each other, and left realistic impressions on eachother over time
lets start off with some things community did hella right to make itself stand out like it does.
i mean, i get that this is a total opinion thing, but i see some objective reasons why connecting with the show is way more mentally satisfying
this is me talking about community versus brooklyn nine nine, potentially my two favorite shows.
maybe cause its in a community college setting, where its easy to buy that sort of thing where people go to learn and grow from other people and that just doesnt cut it in the cop world
that sort of thing being
Brooklyn nine nine has potential cause of how motley and jumbled the casting is, and how well the chemistry amongst the actors balances out. but i feel like its writing is so like... skeletal and lacking. theyre a six that can jump to a nine if they put a little more thought into it.
im still in those early first breaths out of the womb with that show though.
maybe every actor will stop being in their own little bubble and finally start to leave slight impressions on each other eventually
community did such a great job of that
all the character driven shit, all the development that came from external influence.
its what makes the shows so watchable
like community actually managed to get actual tears out of me for some episodes. just based off of pure feeling.
watching everyone grow, and change, and interact with each other and start to become incredibly detailed and convincing characters.
thats what made it so real and leap off the screen.
the character interaction actually left impressions on the characters
i say again :P{
like the thought was put into the character development, definitely
there was direction for everyone to go, but the how to get there made that direction less obvious and so buyable and like.. kinda moving.
like there was no "CHARACTER A IS SELFISH BUT REALLY VULNERABLE BECAUSE OF HIS MOM BEING SICK. HELL CHANGE AFTER WE KILL THE MOM OFF"
it was all like
chatacter A gains more insight about his actions by interacting with characters B, C and D, all with varying perspectives relating to an issue that character A responded to in a certain way.
it was my favorite thing about how the show made me feel
thats another thing. tv sucks at making me feel.
community dont.
community dont suck at making me feel
like normal tv does
have you ever attempted to get through an episode of 2 broke girls?
jesus.
or anger management with charlie sheen or big bang theory? its all so just... UGH.
big bang theory is incredibly formulaic, cause it depends on the characters being more or less the same, interacting still, but always in the same way. episode after episode.
"NERD GETS THE GIRL LOSES THE GIRL GETS THE GIRL GETS MARRIED BUT NOTHING CHANGES"
every show has quality that makes it appealing. i get that. im not trying to tear stuff down that i dont like for personal reasons here. im just trying to make a couple points, maybe they matter maybe they dont
its chill this is the internet we can do what we like.
i get that its comfy and nice to see those lovable geeks get the girl on big bang theory.
over. and over.
its wish fulfillment, its satisfactory. but thats just it. its satisfactory... at best.
I feel a deeper sense of connection, and sort of self actualization with shows like community, and doctor who.
IF YOURE GONNA RECCOMEND I START WATCHING A SHOW IT HAD BETTER CHALLENGE ME, OKAY?
I've learned i have an acidic distaste for like 98% of youtube. and i finally figured out why.
the same reason im riding communitys dick so hard
I'm not toning down my phallic references. phallic repression built america and that entire nation makes the rest of the world uncomfortable.
but anyway, yeah. i dont know why, but i really dont like... the fake reality of what catches on with youtube.
everyone has to dumb their shit down to appeal to the lowest common denominator, and never deviate from formula, cause formula is success, because success is popularity.
and popularity means, you have to be the joke that everyone gets.
popularity means, you have to sacrifice being Monsters Inc, and instead just be Minions.
you have to stop being Community, and instead just be Big Bang Theory.
have fallen head over heels in love with channels like soulbruthanumbuh3, RCR, JonTron, and early Bro Team. Stuff with brain, but behind cheek.
seriously, go watch any Soulbrutha review of any movie and youll see what i mean.
the objectivity, the audacity to call out the typical, the insight, the THOUGHT.
sb3 came from a directorial background. Guys a film buff who really payed some attention. and his delivery is solid and truthy, with a real hood spin he comes by so honestly with, that keeps things fresh but not in an attempt to appear edgy or inflated.
its straight objectivity, without ego.
RCR, kind of the same, but from a pure academic literary standpoint. He took what he did in university... and his honest and objective nature when it comes to knowing his shit, but just applied it to his passion, cars. Same insight, same thought, but more... Allegory. Analogy, weird references to things the ilk doesnt understand. Shit flies over my head left and right with him. But his delivery is so truthy and so... Seasoned, i cant help but just FEEL like i know.
Bro team just yells about videogames. Doenst dress his shit up, doesnt sumb it down, throws his film school magic in, kinda jingles his keys while reading aloud from a popular mechanics article. Not art, but shit makes me clap and giggle.
and JonTron gets an honorable mention for the sheer development hes made. the progress of the process.
sure, hes just talkin about videogames like everyone else but shit. his delivery, confidence, and insight have come a long ass way from his California years.
his move to NY was kind of his progress as a youtube show personified. He literally moved on to bigger and better things with himself, and it really showed in his new living space. new headspace. more room to grow, spread his creative wings and crank out bomb ass content.
And like, sure none of this stuff is really any world changing shit in of itself
theres no real like "omfg MY favorites are so underrated cause STOP LIKING WHAT I DONT LIKE"
but still, i kind of see this pattern. when stuff has lots of thought put into it, and lots of personal, or critical infuence. No one pays attention.
Dont believe me? picture us at a party, and ive got you cornered. and I start talking about my "acidic distaste for 98% of YOUTUBE."
do you give one ioda that lives down the street from half of a fuck about what comes next?
you could have obligation to listen to me. you could see how much thought, and how much of myself comes out in what im trying to say. But no one wants to listen.
Im not gonna win the room spitting bars about youtube n shit.
just my sort of observation taking effect i guess
and im not saying this out of self deprecation, its more of a "argument in action" sort of thing. I wouldnt wanna hear some hot dog neckin neckbeard go on about some shit that i have no frame of reference on, or start attacking things that maybe I sorta like, because I have like... a personal autonomy. I have my own opinions... Obviously.
And if i hear someone go off on some tangential tyrade about some fly on a heap of zebra shit then i guess im just not gonna fucking tune in for more than a few seconds.
Anyway, TV and internet media are doin great. congrats.
