ITT: post show-ruining characters
>>70814583
Hes shit in everything
>>70814686
No
they tried to cram way too much source material into a mini series
The first three episodes with him can be skipped. Jurassic Park kid did really good in The Pacific. This scene was intense.

The series is great when it focuses on jurassic kiddo and the pharoah and not on leckie being a whiny pretentious faggot, making stupid dumbstruck faces and writing shitty poetry.
>>70814843
Yeah everything else not about these two was not interesting. Especially that Basilone guy who sold war bonds.
>my grandfather had Packer's season tickets one time
>he ate them xD
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
this part was pretty cool though desu. does he get better in season 2?
>>70814583
Leckie was the best main character in the show.
Sledgehammers story was only so good because of his supporting characters.

She was good as a deadite though.

I came to post him. I dont even understand they they felt they needed him.
>>70814583
Leckie was the best character. Also, read his book. He's a damn good writer too.
>>70815281
you're so full of shit. Sledge held his own just fine, if you're saying its only because of Snafu.
>>70816360
Nah, my favorite Sledgehammer supporting characters are Burgin and Gunny Haney.
Burgin is underrated, he just goes out and gets the job done no complaints.
>>70815813
Wrong
fuck this bitch
based Nathan dies and she hops on cops dick in like three seconds and then everything about her autistic son
snafu was my fav
FemSheldon on the Big Bang Theory
>>70814583
>they let rubicon build up a huge conspiracy and then cancelled it
that was the cruelest trick of all
>>70814583
He always shows up just as its about to get good.
>>70814583
>mfw it's not a Sledge / SNAFU ep...
>>70814843
Sledge and SNAFU actually have arcs which is great because BoB there isn't really as much character growth except for a minor amount from Nixon and that one dudes breakdown after Toye and Guarnier get fragged. I know it's a true story and so they're aren't always arcs but the way Snafu and Sledge played off each other, like Sledge becoming a detached soulless arsshole and Snafu who first acts all tough and badass realizes his friend is being corrupted. That simple scene where Snafu is pulling teeth then later Sledge goes to do it then Snafu stops him gave so much character insight for such a small scene
>>70816644
You're both right, it goes for half the characters in the show Based Sandor is now a meme spewing faggot so is Tyrion
>>70817701
TYRONE IS A DUMB NIGGER
>all these people posting women/minitories
I thought I was on /tv/ but I must have clicked on /pol/ or /r9k/
>>70817676
Good point, never really thought of that.
In Band of Brothers the focus isn't really on character arcs, tho, but rather on the relationship between the soldiers and their commanders. Leadership is a pretty strong theme in BoB, following Winters, a series of incompetent commanders and then later Spiers as he takes over E-company.
The strength of BoB is that it follows a single company over the course of 1 year, rather than three different soldiers over the course of 4 years - starting with Leckie and Basilone at Guadalcanal and ending with Sledge at Okinawa.
>>70819006
Yeah I understand that and love BoB it just makes it a bit less dramatically fulfilling and Compton's breakdown was really well acted and not massively over the top like most. and yeah it's weird because BoB has way more characters that are central and yet The Pacific is anrrower but doesnt flow as well because the story jumps around. And yeah Winters and Bull and Speirs are some based motherfuckers.
In TP only cared for Snafu and Sledge Basilone and Lecky were flat lines for me
>>70819283
I'm this poster reading it back may not be clear, what I mean is It's ironic that TP focuses on a narrower range of characters, so in theory we should be more attached to them but it's not the case for all but 2 where as in BoB i even felt sorry for Sobel
>>70814583
They weren't a million miles away from what he was really like but going by the book he was more light hearted and although he struggled with his faith he couldn't bring himself to believe that a pile of jap bodies was nothing but meat and lead.
Funniest moment was when he didn't have enough money for a taxi that was taking them to a boat to leave for war, he gave the driver something like 20 cents and told him to buy the finest newspaper in town then bolted, the driver threw the coin at him and hit him in the head as he ran.
>watched Band of Brothers with my dad
father/son bonding kino
>>70821930
He also portrays himself as much more of a juvenile delinquent than the series did. His gut instict was always to do something that would get him in trouble. The series shows some of this, but focused more on his poetic side - of which there's plenty evidence in the book too.
>>70819406
What are you talking about? TBBT is fucking GOAT dude. If you don't take it seriously it can actually be pretty funny sometimes. I don't watch it thinking it's an accurate portrayal of nerd or geek culture or scientists, I watch it as a comedy, and it can be pretty funny. I've seen every episode at least three times.

Women can never understand BoB
>>70822753
Is this supposed to deter me from enjoying the show? I watch a lot of actual shows with no laugh track and pauses in between "jokes" this is nothing new.
>>70816644
calling a single character show-ruining is a stretch, like half the show is shit now
not as insufferable as she used to be. Guthrie can be a cunt too but at least she contributes to the plot
im comfortable and furious
>>70825644
You cruisin' for a bruisin'
>>70824425
She's one of the only surrealist aspects of the show, fuck off
>>70814722
What's that from?
>>70817739
women and minorities just happen to be the shittiest characters desu. You're the one pointing out their genders/race.

Fuck off Sneak
>>70815281
Considering sledgehammer was rooted in the book "with the old breed" which is one of the best war books of all time and the rest are fictions, it should be no surprise that his arc is superior.
>>70814583
He was the only character I actually identified with, what the fuck.
Jurassic park kid really got on my nerves, first he was a whiny little bitch then he turned into a supreme edgelord.
>>70814583
whole series should have been about Sledge on Peleliu and Okinawa, not trying to cram in other 2 different stories that just aren't as engaging.
>>70814583
good choice op, i never did like that actor for some reason.
he just made the character feel very pretentious
>>70827585
Didn't Leckie had his own book too - Helmet under my Pillow or something like that?
I agree about Basilone story though.
>>70828250
I was really surprised that I didn't really recognize him from Jurassic Park movie. That Okinawa episode...the death walk, suiciding civvies, and snafu and sledge giving each other shit with no pretense telling each other to fuck off.
It felt real.
>>70828272
yea he did.

BOB worked better because we got introduced to the men in training, and they all had their individual, well crafted personalities exposed then.
we knew who guarnere was when they dropped into normandy, same with luz too. so we ended up caring about them in a much more poignant way than we ever did with the characters in the pacific. that said, i think with the old breed is probably the best war novel i have ever read.
>>70826052
the plane movie with denzel washington.
>>70828359
liked him in boardwalk empire
>>70828359
He's better in season 4.
