Beardd Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Death Note is already being bashed due to the characters being white people. They made a character black instead of Asian but that part is considered okay. I'm fine with all kinds of diversity but I'm also okay with American adaptions being well, adaptions. People don't HAVE to be a certain race or orientation just because the source material was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Every day I skim through Netflix to see if there's anything decent and new. Every day I am disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam the d00d Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Yeah it's an American adaptation that takes place in America, a country that's majority white. That's a thing most people don't actually give a shit about it's just virtue signalling. None of these people even offer up any Japanese actors who would be suitable for the role instead.

Oresama Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Has anybody else watched/been watching 13 Reasons Why? I just finished up watching it. It's difficult to watch during certain parts but it's a really good show that I definitely recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 They removed star ratings and made everything a simple thumbs up or thumbs down... I'm not happy about the amount of sheer crap that I'm about to end up watching as a result... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of you watching what you consider crap and yelling at the television kills me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardd Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Cool...whatever floats your boat. Bro by that I mean, your rants are entertaining to read when you hate something. Even when I disagree. You always think I'm shitting on you when I barely am. It's kinda a compliment. Unless you came in here to say you hated the latest season of Trailer Park Boys. Then I'd be frowning.

Creepy Bro Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I still need to get cracking on the most recent Dave Chappelle content that's on Netflix... been hearing nothing but good things about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I still have star ratings. What platform? I use the actual website most of the time...probably the most directly updated version. My guess is that the PS4/One, mobile, and other versions probably haven't been updated yet... Also, the whole region thing might be a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Bro Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 ^^^ Makes a lot of sense, the Netgear box that we have setup in our living room for Netflix use hasn't been updated in what seems like forever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in U.K. obviously so that is probably a factor. My friends account has had percentage for a while, it comes up in green text and they're using a PS3. Who knows what the cause is.

Beardd Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Wow. Genny boy is never going to be my virtual best friend. Guy just ignores me. That Voltron show is extremely fun. Kept hearing how good Voltron was back in the day so I had to give the newest version a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam the d00d Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I never pay attention to the ratings anyway because generally I find the mass opinion to be unreliable as far as movies and tv go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 ^ True for the most part. I'm not talking about the difference between something like 3 star and 5 star...but in the past, if something had a one star rating or whatever, it was pretty obvious that it was crap. I found that to be a good indicator for the most part. Was good for browsing through quickly, and avoiding all of the shit without wasting too much time debating whether it was going to suck or not. As unreliable as mass opinions are...they're usually pretty reliable when it comes to the absolute bottom of the barrel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
