Didn’t they do History of the World Part 2? That was a trainwreck.

Well, this is certainly not something I expected to see today. Not sure how I feel about it. Amazon has a great history of ruining things they touch.

Is this the general consensus of this show? I thought it was great.

Curious what you consider they’ve ruined? I’ve liked a lot of the stuff they’ve put out compared to other services.

Lord of The Rings

That is a very fair answer, if not them someone else unfortunately though. It was doomed to get more content eventually.

The Expanse
While I wouldn’t say they’ve “ruined it” it felt like a significant drop in quality the moment Amazon took over.

Except Alcon was still making it and the budget didn’t change. Season 6 got cut down to 6 episodes due to Amazon, though.

That and the whole there being three other books worth of material that the series just noped the fuck out of because amazon didn’t want to keep making the series. They did the same thing with The Wheel of Time.

Fallout and The Boys are also very good.

The Boys was great. For about 1.5 seasons and then became an expensive, repetitive, gratuitous mess that made no effort to keep changing the formula. I actually convinced myself it was okay enough to get through the whole series then looked back and thought “I can’t remember a single significant plot development that led to anything real beyond the first season.”

i dunno, Stormfront was a good storyline, as was Soldier Boy. last season was TERRIBLE though and exactly as you say. just treading water.

They almost ruined that series with the budgeting. They saved it with the finale.
Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 1 month ago
I think they do a good job of choosing when to turn the heat up on that budget and when to dial it back.
I don’t think they had that as well dialed in during Season 2, but I couldn’t complain much about the Conquest fight.

I’ll take rough animation over that cgi trying to look like animation crap that never looks good.

What do you mean? Invincible handled the animation perfectly: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhndpv7sEqE
