It doesn’t though? And it’s absolutely insane to think this way before that’s even filmed 4-5 years from now.

Log off for the day you old decrepit bastard

The sole criticism of this series is overwhelming black Snape.


No shite. But this one instance doesn’t render the entire thing as something not worthy to be watched. Having the mindset like this is just incredibly narrow, stunted and borderline retarded.

If you choose to only look at the one negative, like you usually do, and ignore the other great things about the show and the trailer then just frick off yeah? It’s clearly not for you if you’re going to let that keep you from enjoying it. I’m sure if Rowling was THAT against this casting, it wouldn’t have happened. But considering they look like they’ve nailed the rest of the cast, maybe give them the benefit of the doubt.

HBO is not Disney or Netflix or Prime. They have a pretty fricking good track record.
Agreed. Nick Frost looks who I imagined Hagrid. Robbie Coltrane always sounded like how I imagined Hagrid. But just because Frost’s new Hagrid voice is softer doesn’t matter that much. He looks like Hagrid. Good enough for me.

Bend isn’t only valuable with speed though. Plenty of edge rushers have good bend and not elite speed.

None of them have sub optimal arm length but this is about his bend and speed
Are you going senile already you old frick? :lol:

She’s confirmed by HBO and the creative team on the show as being an executive producer and creative consultant. But that doesn’t fit your narrative huh big boy? :lol:
She’s confirmed as an executive producer and creative consultant. She’s been a part of the entire process

But I guess because you said so she magically stopped working on it :lol:
My anger isn’t really aimed at you. I apologize for that.

I’m just over some of the low bro “criticisms” people are bringing to the topic. If you think it’s shitty, that’s your opinion, but most people I’ve seen react seem to really like it so yeah I’m going to push back on criticisms I think are stupid. Again, the internet isn’t real and people are going to watch the shite out of it. Book lovers are going to love the show and movie watchers are going to say this every season “was this even necessary?”

I just hope it is good. It’s impossible to know from the trailer. But even if it is good, this board will still have people like SEK that bitch about it being woke or not like the source material when the bitch that created it is on fricking set :lol:
Sees children playing in the snow with smiles on their faces

“WhEre’s tHE WhImSical AnD ChArm”
It’s fine if you think it’s darker than the first two movies but we’re also not going to sit here and act like 3-7&8 weren’t also just as dark if not even darker.

I saw everything fine in the trailer. I’m not an old arse fricking boomer so I guess my eyesight isn’t that bad yet
JK Rowling herself is on the production staff and oversees everything just like she did on the movies. They’re not making any changes without her approval.
I don’t mind anyone disliking anything as long as they don’t already have their mind made up about it or actually provide legit criticisms. Yours aren’t.

David Bailey is one of the highest graded pass rushers ever in PFF’s college history


But yeah tell us more about his lack of bend :lol: I hate this part of the draft process. It’s everyone convincing themselves everyone sucks and everyone will bust
quote:

Ive never met as many people that loathe movies/tv in my entire life as you see in one thread on the Movie/TV board.


It’s usually the same group. It’s why I hardly even visit the site anymore. It’s just bitching to bitch on every single board. Everything is woke and sucks and should go back to the way things were and nostalgia porn for the past.

It’s sickening. And it’s always the old arse mother frickers too. fricking hate boomers and old people.
quote:

The lighting is absolutely fricking awful. The musical score is trash and makes me want to cut my ears off. The charm that was present in the characters from the original films is gone now. Should I go on?


You got all that from a two minute teaser? Just frick off and go bitch somewhere else. I haven’t seen one person bitch about the lighting or music.

fricking old arse loser.
As far as the tone, I thought it was pretty clear the trailer was showing the duality of Harry’s life. The Dursleys were played as clowns in the movies but they’re not really that way in the first two books. They’re total pricks. They made the kid live under the fricking stairs and he’s bullied at school AND at home :lol: and we have people “it’s not happy or whimsical enough” like no shite.

And the entire tone of the trailer changes once he runs, literally and metaphorically, away from his sad fricking life to his new happy and magical one at Hogwarts. After that, and the music swells, it’s nothing but him smiling and having fun with Ron and at school, running and playing, throwing snowballs, getting the nimbus, Hagrid making snow angels. The lack of media literacy still baffles me sometimes
quote:

This is all shite you have made up in your mind, you have no clue what they plan to do. I hate the Snape casting but i am still willing to give the series a chance. Im not gonna make up shite and throw it all away on one misstep. Its pretty clear the people making this care about the material and want to get it right.


Bottom line. I don’t like the casting at all and hate the look even more. I seriously hope they give him a slight redesign to make him look better in Chamber.

But regardless of that it’s clear they poured not just money but heart and soul into this. This is night and day as far as quality compared to something like Rings of Power/Wheel of Time. People either need to hop on board and just go on the journey again to see where it takes us or just shut the frick up and don’t watch if you’re against it or think it’s not necessary because of the books. We get it.

I’m not saying don’t watch or don’t bash it. If it sucks, have at it. But the whole talking point of “is this necessary” is just fricking old and as fickle as the first time whatever loser brought it up. If you don’t think it’s necessary, don’t watch. Seems that’s all people have though for critiques.

It’s:

1. This isn’t necessary
2. Black Snape is stupid
3. It looks weird with new characters yet somehow is too similar?? Lmao.

The actual quality and directing and acting look great so this is the fallback point.

I think you’re right Gyno. From everything Underhill has said, it seems like they really want Bain, Bailey or Downs/Delane and if they’re not there it’s probably Lemon.

Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if they passed up Downs/Delane altogether if Bain and Bailey aren’t there and just go for Tate or Lemon. I know WR is deep and there’s not an elite elite WR but I’d be fine with Tate or Lemon

I feel like Lemon’s route tree and YAC ability put him in a different category in this draft


Agreed. Did some deep diving on him and I wouldn’t even mind him at 8. He would absolutely thrive in this offense.

I just have a gut feeling they’re going defense af 8. But I think i want Lemon
quote:

first two films are by far my favorite because they are whimsical and capture the child like wonder of the story


They’re also the ones that most closely resemble the books. There’s only 1-2 parts in each one that were left out. That’s also why it looks so similar. You’re not going to notice a big difference between the show and movies until you get to Prisoner and then you’ll REALLY see it with Goblet through Hallows

It’s the internet. People will hate just to have. It’s clear from the directing, acting, production, costume and set design that they got people who love HP to work on it and make it similar but also new.
quote:

It looks like fricking dogshit



You’re just hating to hate then because it doesn’t at all. Even people who wanted to dislike it admit it’s got some juice…outside of Snape :lol:

Look you can hate it or think it’s just a cash grab and if that’s the case just frick off :dunno:
