Before the storm and my shit internet killed it. (But I can easily see why this tanked at the box office.) My reaction goes as follows: >This is prutty-looking and the music is fitting... >Why am I watching this borderline fetishism scene, with a Green Goblin monologue? >This fucking stilted dialogue >It turns out Lord Blackthorne is EVIL! o: >EEEEH EEHHH (that one stock scream on repeat for five more minutes.) [i]What am I even watching?[/i] Edit: That EEEEH EEHHH vibe goes on much longer than that. (I gave this shit an hour of my time & I want it back.) [hr] Two episodes of Netflix's "The Sandman" was enough. The show is so proud of its mediocre/bad-looking CGI. [i]But that's all it has to offer.[/i] Because there's not much else in term of writing, acting, or character to latch onto. (And the show, apparently, only gets worse as it goes on...) [i]So fuck it.[/i] Plus, much like the Wheel Of Time. Without ever having to see the original work. It was still so obvious what roles were changed arbitrarily. By its script and dialogue alone.
