Very curious about your writing, I went online to gather more information and some previews, but unfortunately, the result wasn’t positive. I've been repeating this for a while now, especially on these pages, and I realize I might come off as quite a babbler and a bit out of it: the "Japanese" culture of anime and manga has become completely unbearable for me. In just the last two months, I think I've started no fewer than 10 anime series, and I've dropped them all, sometimes after just a few minutes of watching.
Enough is enough; I am truly fed up with the over-exaggeration of every theme, from love, to death, to school, to society... Enough with characters who must have devastated psychiatric profiles, enough with gratuitous extremification of situations, enough with plots that feel the need to shock.
Let’s return to storytelling without having to resort to these narrative devices, which may truly be expressions of thought, artistic sensitivity, or something meaningful to say, but to my eyes seem mostly the result of a very rational effort to "raise the bar" in order to shock an audience that is now anesthetized.
I realize that this is not a novelty of recent years or the latest productions: it’s probably just me who, after gorging on it for who knows how long, has reached saturation.
In any case, the page is excellent and deserves more visits and more comments. The work, I believe, deserved more constructive and dialectical interaction than mine.
Andrés Muschietti It

In the meantime, I also watched part two. And it was somewhat of a struggle... Muschietti is always good, and I like how CGI was used on the clown. The writing, however, is completely off: practically all the "present" scenes are a long, loquacious, and repetitive list of sequences with the individual protagonists, lacking any cohesion, any thread to connect them. The final battle is chaotic and - I can't quite tell how unintentionally - ridiculous. Then I really didn’t understand or appreciate the decision to stuff EVERY damn scene with some joke or some element of irony/comedy (almost as if to quote Raimi), which literally undermines the narrative tension and the horror element. If I could give the first part a 3.5, the second part hovers more around a two...

Beautiful page. It's a shame about the syntax being awkward in several places.

Good job. You reminded me that for Christmas I want to order a couple of issues, since I'm behind!

I’ll just say three things:
1) The coloring and animation are done well! I would love to see other series from this production studio.
2) Everything is nice, but upon closer inspection, the same story has already been told three times. First in the comic The Prophecy, then in the film The Prophecy, and now in this series.
3) The best sequence by far is the parody of Game of Thrones in the apartment.
4) The controversy about the Roman dialect is quite tiresome.
Hwang Dong-hyuk Squid Game

Another series whose cosmic success I don't understand (another glaring example is La Casa di Carta, which I found to be real garbage). Damn, it’s a blatant and boring recycling of Hunger Games, which was a recycling of Battle Royale, which was a recycling of The Running Man and other works, all the way down to the Colosseum. Plus there’s the aggravating factor of the Eastern staging, which as I’ve already said a thousand times has become indigestible for me. Why does no one talk about Tales From The Loop or The Kominsky Method? Or the animation of Star Trek Lower Decks? Netflix now has the ability to steer global viewership however the hell it wants. For some strange reason, it works brilliantly for series while with movies (all uniformly crap) it still hasn't found the formula. Who knows!

I'm back on this page after eons because, ladies and gentlemen: I WENT TO THE MOVIES TO SEE IT!!!!!! My God, I hadn't been to the cinema in 6 years: it was December 2015 and I went with my pregnant wife to see Inside Out. Then fatherhood clipped my wings and deflated my dick. But now I feel like I've come back to life and I wouldn't rule out seeing at least one more movie before 2025. Anyway: seriously, this stuff is amazing. Best spaceships ever, best night attack with a thousand explosions ever, best photography, architecture, and interior design. I think they really nailed everything on a visual/sound level. Acting was alright. For the first 3/4 of the story, it was fantastic: just the right pace (slow, but you don't feel the urge to check your phone), just the right amount of exposition (I think it makes the whole thing accessible even to those who haven’t read the book), and it was just psychedelic enough. Yeah, sure, the last part has a pretty significant drop, but at a certain point, who cares. I spent the next three days saying out of context: "SARDAUKAR! SARDAUKAR!" and for me, that's already enough.
