"These violent delights have violent ends" - Dolores
That show has so much promise in the first season! So much wasted potential!!!
Yeah, it's easily one of my favorites, even though I've never finished it. I was deep into the third season, then I googled something about the show and discovered the last season got cancelled. I thought it was pointless to continue, since one entire season is a gap too big to fill with theories.
Just another brick in the wall of cancelled masterpieces, just like the TF2 Webcomic.
Totally. That's also how I felt about Lost.
Fuck Lost. βItβs better to never reveal the mystery!β That was the guiding principle, to just cake on mystery and keep audiences following like a laser pointer and a cat. Iβm an advocate for free speech, but if someone made a law outlawing that kind of storytelling, it might cause my resolve to waver. At least Stephen King will write an ending, even if itβs the third deus ex machina in a row, youβll get an ending!
People forget how crazy the speculation was in those pre-streaming days. Like D&D (the Game of Thrones hacks), I think they thought they had to go in a different direction than fans guessed, or they "lost". That's not their job. Literal millions of people watched these shows every showing, there's just no way that no one guesses what happens and posts it online. But their ego was bruised, so they thought they had to go a way that no one was expecting (because it made no sense: Game of Thrones), or say they wanted an unexplainable mystery (so no payoff after years of investment: Lost). The end result is ruining an incredibly popular, critically-acclaimed show...
All my homies hate the D Bros.

Nothing is as good as your imagination!
Fuck you, you're the "creative", your entire job is to be better than my imagination. Why am I paying attention/money to you if I wanted to just imagine cool shit instead?
RIP Chapelle, the fat guy out there is a government stooge that replaced the real Chapelle who's currently in Africa.
There were more seasons of Romeo & Juliet??
There could be zombie Romeo and Juliet I suppose.
I was talking about Westworld, an HBO show about AI, androids and "humanity". And yes, I know the original quote is from Romeo and Juliet, but quoting Dolores fits perfectly given the context
I wanna fuck the goth girl now. Damn you AI.
Now?
I can't fuck a cartoon. This is way more realistic.
Not with that attitude.
You do you m8
My experience with the internet suggests that you are all but alone in that assertion. I was going to say I don't know anything about that personally but Nick Wilde from zootopia did kind of get me (I've always had a soft spot for the trickster archetype).
Fucking a AI generated image, however, ez peasy
With the right AI she'll have to want to fuck you too. How does that make you feel?
Like life is meaningless as is having a soul or not having one.
I'm getting horny AI chat ads constantly on TikTok so it doesn't make me feel too good
Why do the guys look like that Paul guy? The one who "fought" Mike Tyson?
Ok, so it's not just me who sees the resemblance
I always thought it was the Proper Printing guy on YT
I'm not really familiar with him. But looking up pictures, yeah, there's definitely a resemblance.
thanks, I hate it
Hate to break it to ya but they're still not alive, just more realistic-looking.
This is an image with captions; usually these are meant as metaphors, jokes, fiction, or exaggerations.
No way!
Okay but it says βThey brought us to live with AIβ as a sort of fourth wall breaking. Even within this context that's not really true, I get what is meant but it should be phrased differently like βThey make us look realistic with AIβ, or something in that vein.
Haha same
Oh good, just what we need.
More 15-year-old girls.
Edit: /s
What
The AI. They're using it to produce 15-year-old girls. You actually looked at the picture before commenting, right?
Oh heck. I forgot the /s
The guy looks ok similar enough to the meme ( here his hairdo looks like a combed mop though) but the ladies don't resemble the meme that much. I recognize them from their hair and clothing, not so much the faces.
I disagree. the guy looks nothing like the meme imo. that's just Logan Paul with a big beard
His neck hair makes my neck itch.
the first one is literally brazilian actress juliana didone when she was younger.

can they prove it?
its funny that he still has a weak chin in this incarnation
This βplastic existenceβ reminds me of Refractions in the Plastic Pulse-a great Stereolab track. Has very limited commentary in this context, though, worth listening to for many tasteful beeps and boops. I will say that some of the French lyrics translate to English as βin endless action, without trophy or glory, in endless action, without profit or victory, a bottomless creation..β
