How is the man in the high castle?
American/merchant propaganda.
> dude, Nazis were evil, xD
Pretty Good 7/10
Interesting concept and Amazon gave it a good budget but the leads just aren't interesting or well acted at all. A disappointment overall.
>>70620837
cool concept but the 2 leads are fucking stupid and everything is overdramatic like a soap opera
based dj qualls tho
>>70620837
he's fine, thanks for asking
It's boring, and the main characters are dumb as fuck.
The story is not good.
>>70621155
this thread is about the show, not the book
>>70620837
Honestly....boring. I love the premise, but it feels super super slow because so much of it is fluff
Makes me want to gas every naziboos and weaboos
>>70620837
the two nazi guys (the two middle aged guys, not the young faggot) are by far the most likable characters, so prepare yourself for that shit
>>70621215
what this guy said.
>>70621215
That's a weird picture to save
>>70620837
A disappointing adaptation. The book was so focused on what was happening in the heads of the characters, I don't think it was possible to put it on screen.
>>70620837
nice spy kino
still overdemonizing nazis , pictured as no logical pure evils
will there be season 2?
>>70620837
POO
IN
LOO
>>70621215
that picture really makes you think
>>70621215
>>70621215
Literally me every day
Oyy veyy another shoah
>>70620837
Excellent
Rufus Sewell is the only watchable character/actor on the show.
The sets are a weird cartoony/cgi mix
The story is just boring. Its like the writers spent an afternoon browsing /pol and stormfront and thats how all germans
Stayed in for whole 1st season but i wont be back
>>70620948
You've not seen the show, one of the best and most relatable characters is the fucking US Obergruppenführer.
I agree with the others about the two main characters being really boring though. The woman is insufferable. I hope the second season focuses more on the Japanese Trade Minister and the Obergruppenführer
>>70620837
Good show, weak ending. I think a much more interesting story could have been told in the setting, but what we got wasn't bad. The girl and her boyfriend weren't well executed characters but the Nazis characters were good and the Japanese were interesting.
>>70620837
Why would they allow a neutral zone to exist between Japan and Germany? Wouldn't that just be a hotbed for terrorists and enemies of the state?
>>70626355
To stop border friction. That said it is a hotbed of resistance, like most 'neutral' zones
>>70626355
Yeah it's stupid, don't know how this was allowed to exist in the story. Neutral zones the size of small countries don't exist in the real world obviously.
I've watched this show and I'm just so confused.
Who is the man in the high castle?
Who is creating these videos and why?
>>70627796
It's still a mystery
the main characters are all quite uninteresting and small compared to the grand presence and charisma of the german and japanese ones. They make the show worth watching
One of the best shows currently being made.
Bold concept, politically-incorrect, high production values, original idea, incredibly tense and suspenseful action, etc.
If you like history or alternate-history even remotely, you will love this.
I enjoyed the fact the Nazi's aren't pantomime baddies. Hell even theHeydrich coup plot felt more like an ambitious political thriller rather than some sort of evil empire bogey man thing.
>All these faggots calling The Man in High Castle "boring"
I don't often use the word "pleb", but holy shit, this is the plebbist shit I have ever seen.
If your attention-span is too fucking short for a thriller like this, you're a lost-cause.
>>70626355
>Wouldn't that just be a hotbed for terrorists and enemies of the state?
Did you not watch the show?
The Neutral Zone is heavily patrolled by Axis agents, many of them being undercover.
>>70620837
I can't even fathom how retarded the premise is. 2 wee tiny countries with wee tiny populations overtaking the actual land of the USA through brute force.It'd be like Rhode Island trying to take over Mexico.
>>70627796
It's still a mystery.
"The Man in the High Castle" may not be a literal person in a literal place.
It may be a code-name.

>>70620948
Confirmed for not watching the show. Normies rooted for Hitler in this show. Fuck off shitposter.
The main characters were boring but secondaries were great especially Rufus Sewell's character.
>>70621215
>>70628936
>what is snowballing power?
>what is a bloodless coup?
>what is an economic depression leading to the collapse of military prominence?
>what is a technology gap?
>what are thermonuclear weapons?
You have a very limited understanding of history, politics and science.
>>70627796
considering how the first season ended, im hoping they stick to the book
>>70628936
500 Spanish people overthrew the entire Aztec Empire.
Pretty sure Rhode Island could take Mexico
>>70628911
It's also full of niggers, Jews and homos the Nazis don't seem to give a shit about at all.
>>70625939
>ending
that was only season 1 you tard. its based on a series of novels
>>70628936
Germany won the Atomic race and nuked Washington DC.
There was also a massive home-grown fascist rebellion that didn't happen in real life where hordes of American Nazi Party members were kicking the shit out of United States supporters before World War II even broke out.
>>70620837
Gave it four episodes, it didn't hook me. Which I found surprising given the actors they have in it, but whatever.
I'm not opposed to slow builds or giving shows a chance, I just find if something hasn't grabbed me by E4 it's not going to so I move on to something else.
FWIW it took Spartacus and The Expanse until E4 to get me on board, I can forgive a lot as long as they start doing something. The build with Man In The High Castle was so slow I just couldn't bring myself to watch another ep. For all I know E5 was balls to the wall awesome but I consider ~4 hours enough of a chance to get me on board for any form of media if it ever will.
>>70629111
This. It's a dumping ground for people they don't want, but aren't worth killing.
It's no easier to conduct Resistance-related business there either, considering how many spies are everywhere.
You'd probably be better off doing it in a low-population area controlled by either Axis power.
The nails that stick up are the ones that get hammered down.
>>70628936
>wee tiny countries with wee tiny populations
population of germany in 1939: 80 million
population of japan in 1939: 73 million
population of usa in 1939: 132 million
how is that too wee tiny exactly????
>>70629145
That's not the dumbest scenario in history, the US immediately surrendering after DC getting nuked obviously mirrors Japan's instant surrender after Hiroshima/Nagasaki.
The only thing I can't figure out is why the fuck the Germans gave the West Coast awayfor free
>>70628937
...for a WOMAN
XD
>>70629214
>Germany's population hasn't grown in 80 years
sheeeit
>>70620837
>ywn live in an america free of jews and niggers
>>70629913
Yeah its almost like Germany in 1939 also had the entire population of Austria and the Czech republic and also parts of Prussia
>>70621261
he didn't save it, he made it
>>70628936
Americas, especially then was a few coastal cities.
>>70629261
You've clearly never been to the west coast, that was brilliant foresight on the Nazi's part
>>70629128
>its based on a series of novels
ITT: no fact-checking
It's a single novel, not a very long one, and the show only takes themes and characters from it, while the plot is completely different.
North Dakota is one of the least racist places I have ever been... why is it part of the reich?
>>70620837
I liked it. 'The villains' are goat. More intesting than either of the protagonists. I just wanna watch smith doing nazi stuff, not the girl flipflopping on her deciion to help the resistance. AGAIN
>>70633812
Whether or not the place is racist has nothing to do with it. That's just how far the Nazis got inland before deciding it wasn't profitable to go on. The Reich is actually a lot bigger on this map than it seemed when I read the book.
>>70633878
Is the book worth reading?
>>70627796
hitler is the man in the high castle
>>70621316
I don't recall them being demonized. They only demonized japs, but japs are sick fuckers irl so im okay with that.
>>70633930
If you like Dick yeah
>>70633930
It has its moments but Time out of joint is better
>>70633947
>They only demonized japs
no they didn't, if anything japs weren't demonized enough.
I always get a kick out of having the Nazis Atom Bomb New York or Washington DC. they wouldn't nuke either of those just like how we didn't drop it on Tokyo.
You know who would get Bombed? Baltimore or Boston, maybe Philadelphia.
>>70620837
7.5/10 "would fight for nazism again"
2nd season when?
>>70634181
probably never ever
I liked the Disney Spinoff of the Future in San Francisco really dope.
>>70620837
HE DID NOTHING WRONG
>seriously I fucking love this guy. Hope he doesnt die
>>70634181
Later this year. I am dying to know where that asian guy ended up at the end if he was just dreaming or got some alternative reality vision
>>70620837
I'd love to see a movie version of this made; see how condensing it into a 3 hour epic would work or a trilogy.
This show's story is a gem. It has its cheesy moments but deserves way more praisw
>>70620837
it's slow but a decent watch. The main girl is qt but not a very interesting character
Terrible basically nazi propaganda the show
So its implied that some people...or just one person...can travel between universes/timelines.
All they've been doing is stealing fucking news reels and short films?
Obergruppenführer John Smith is reason enough to watch the show.
>>70636699
OY VEY
>>70638282
If Obergruppenführer John Smith were my dad things would be different around here..
>>70620837
Book was good, series was rubbish
>>70620837
The book is gold.
The show really wasn't very good. Hopefully it will be better in a following season.
>>70636699
Here's your ((((You)))), you filthy kike.
>>70638373
Don't kid yourself anon, you'd just be a disappointment to him.
>>70637001
The reels document a history that never took place. Alternate worlds type shit.
Philip K. Dick was schizophrenic as fuck so everything deals with false realities.
>>70620837
I don't get it, why didn't they also conquer Mexico and Canada.
After the USA it should be a joke defeating them.
>>70620837
It's fucking retarded.
>>70628936
Tell that to Vietnam
>>70638489
Nobody wants mexico and Britain literally can't be invaded. This includes Canada at that point.
Smith, the trade minister and Rudolph, wouldn't mind if the show revolved around those 3
>>70620837
Really enjoyed it watching it as a "what if the Nazi's won" thing.
I thought the whole twist was that the Nazi's didn't really win the war, though. The Reich had fallen and they just conquered America or something and the tapes were of what actually happened and the people are being lied to that Germany won the war.
Then at the VERY end,dude time travel lmaoand fucked up the entire show
I hope they don't make Smith the bad guy turned good, even though it seems likely. He's the perfect antihero in my opinion.
>>70638756
Rudolph was fucking based. I want a political drama with those 3
>>70629145
That actually makes sense. Everyone forgets how very pro-nazi America was before the propaganda really kicked into gear.
If Hitler knew what he was doing, he wouldn't have squandered it so badly before the war.
>>70620837
The book is quite enjoyable.
Struggled to make it though the first episode. Had no interest in watching anymore after that.
stay in school kids >>70628936
>can't discuss this show because /pol/ gets triggered
>muh Nazis dindu nuffin
They didn't even attempt to adapt the book at all. Just used the setting and some of the characters names.
>>70627796
>Who is creating these videos and why?
In the book version, it’s a guy who wrote an alt-history book and it’s suggested that he may or may not have physical access to alternate timelines while in the tv series, it’s a super-8 film that clearly shows someone has physical access to alternate timelines, as the events shown in the super-8 movie (D-Day Invasion, etc.) couldn’t have been faked with the technology of the time.
The book doesn't provide an explanation to the mystery, dunno how the tv series will deal with it?
>>70628936
> I can't even fathom how retarded the premise is.
How it’s possible for Germany and Japan to win WWII isn’t explained in detail by the author, as it really isn’t important, the story is all about the results of their victory.
Usually with an alt-history story, there is a single point of departure, (for example, Hitler dies as a baby) whereupon history after that changes but clearly Philip K. Dick went with multiple points of departure to get the setting he was looking for.
>>70639362
>Everyone forgets how very pro-nazi America was before the propaganda really kicked into gear.
Americans weren't pro-Nazi, they were pro-isolationism; "Europeans are warmongering retards, we shouldn't get involved."
>>70620837
Gay, and I' say that as an actual homosexual, who enjoys stuffing cock into my butt. Fukken... gay.
was so looking forward to seeing what people have visualized for 75 years, what a near global nazi empire would look like, but it was a low budget shoot, so all we see are basically a bunch of dark rooms and apparently culture never normalizes and the sun never shines again and everyone is always in fear and miserable and its all terrible all the time. Cause thats why nearly an entire modern intelligent country thought it was a good idea to become nazis.
>>70642205
I can say with no sense of irony or exaggeration that The Man in the High Castle is the single most pro-Nazi piece of media I have ever seen in my entire life.
Old Hitler is literally fighting to save the world from nuclear annihilation and to save his regime from being overthrown by guys who are more murderous and cruel than he is, and the Nazi character we spend the most screen time with is depicted as brave, loyal, competent, tough and reasonable.
>>70642575
I red the book three years ago and mostly just wtfd with what I remembered.
Still like the show. Dark and shitty 60-70's has grown on me. I also like that they hint nazi technology and greatness of Europe with Concordes. This is of course done because of budget but I still like it.
>>70620837
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring
>>70634066
Miami
>>70628936
I can't even fathom how retarded you are.
>>70620837
>nazi reich
i just can't get over this. it's like the USSR renaming itself to "commieland"
>>70624941
How all the germans what?
>>70634340
i predict that he'll become a resistance fucking shit because of his son.
>>70645878
Nazis literally called their empire the new Reich, shithead.
>>70628936
In all seriousness, Rhode Island could take Mexico.
>>70645982
Yeah but Nazis never called themselves Nazis you retard that was an insult other nations used
>>70645985
Hm. That's not a bad idea.
Give those fucking rhode islanders something to do.
>>70644659
There was a fairly large Fascist movement in the us pre-war because of how staunchly anti communist we were
>>70629054
>500 Spanish people overthrew the entire Aztec Empire.
Is there a movie about this?
>>70620837
If they had kept it a short series, it could have been good, but Amazon is repeated the tv era mistake of trying to drag a good idea out over too many seasons, thus making it suck.
>>70629054
Absolutely not. They collaborated with natives who were already unhappy with Aztec rule.
>>70620948
Found pic of anon's granddaddy.
>>70644357
The tweest is going to be that it isn't an alternate timeline, it's the real timeline. Nazi's/Japs used time travel technology to have them win WWII and someone who remembers the original past got access to it and is trying to revert history to how it was.
>>70644814
It's not pro-Hitler in the slightest. The Nazi's are viciously oppressive in it.
Only /pol/ autists who can't understand basic human behavior, desires, or psychology think it's "pro-Nazi" because you think some neat skyline shots with swaztika's is "redpilled" and can't value abstract things like freedom and expression over primal desires like safety and conformity.
You lierally have to be socially dysfunctional and aspergers to think Man in High Castle is pro-Nazi, unable to understand socially functional peoples psychology. Then again this is the same board that thinks American History X and Downfall is pro-Nazi.
>>70647786
>i think 's is a plural ending
America's been the greater Nazi reich for decades.
The book was better.
What's the deal with all these hack television writers adapting something from another medium and then thinking "I can do a better job, I'll just change the whole fucking plot!"
At least it isn't as bad as the Preacher adaptation.
>>70644814
>brave, loyal,
These are evil values btw.
